Big Land Deal.

The weather. has been pretty
sultry the past week but the
warmest proposition in town is
Nels Olberg in that big automo-
bile. When you see Nels scorch-
ing the pike headed for the coun-
try, it is the one safe bet that he
has a land deal on. He has made
two or three the past week, but
the biggest one was when he sold
that east half Of section eight in
Grant township Monday to VIM.
Simons for the tidy little sum of
$4,000 cash. Both parties are
satisfied.

hands badlu burned. What
made the fire burn more fiercely
was the fact that there was a
vuantity of gasoline and kero-

just how it originated, it is
thought to have been caused by
a lighted lantern and the genera
ton of gas.

time, the honor conferred, but I can say that
I have touched glasses with the chief Justice

handed around, and every one had a jolly
good time, but me. I have often thought of
those whole-souled true Southern patriots,
who treated the ragged sergeant with the
same hospitality and courtesy they would have
shown their equals. IF [ am not mistaken
Justice Marshall was the son of the famous
jurist for whom the Liberty Bell was tolling
when it was cracked. While memory holds
sway, there will always be warm spot within
my heart, sacred to the memory Of Captain
a A. Franklin Hill, who was one Of those
genial, kind hearted men, with smile and
kind word for every one. While he was
wealthy, educated, and polished gentleman,
having Travelled extensively in Europe and
America, he could suit himself to any and all
circumstances. While he was the social equal

THE JEFFERSONIAN.
IN THE WRONG PEW.
Continued from Page Ten.)

END Oh the room, besides large one over the
mantelpiece At the end Of the room there
were two sofas and seated on one of them
were six handsomely draped young ladies.
Captain Hill shook hands, calling each one by
her name, then turned and introduced each
one to Sergeant Andrews. Now, in order
for you to understand the predicament that [
was in, | will tell you about my uniform. In
my right hand [ held my military cap, made
of cotton cloth, with a paper visor, with the
crown sewed in, in such way that all the
rain that fell on it, ran down my back, into
my eyes, and dripped off my nose My jacket
lacked about three inches of reaching my
pants, and they lacked the same Of reaching
my brogan shoes, with my cotton socks rolled
down over them, besides my pants we're burnt
out in the rear from my knees down. I was
nearly in as sad predicament as the soldier
who had the bosom of his pants worn out.
Like all Confederate soldiers, he was hungry
and stopped at house to get something to eat,
insisting on his doing ample justice to the
viands before him, while they filled his raver-
sack from the good things on the table
When he got ready to leave he was very
profuse in his thanks, at the same time back
ing to the door with the young ladies follow
ing, he then backed down the steps, still
thanking them for the kindness in relieving
the wants of a hungry soldier, while thew
stood in the door. AS he could not turn his
back to them, he decided to back around the
corner Of the dwelling, and as he did so, and
turned, he met face to face with the lady of
the houshe, who remarked Here is a pair Of
pants for you sir At that time | considered
myself a veteran Of many hard fought bat
ties, [ had fought double lines of the enemy,
and near enough to touch bayonets with them,
besides being near enough to their batteries
In action to see down the brazen Threats Of the
guns, and during the time four men had been
killed by my side, but all Of that seemed like
child's play to battery of six beautiful pairs
of eyes, all concentrated on one ragged Con-
federate. During the introduction [ tried to
make some very polite bows but before it was
over my knees we're humping together. After
what seemed like an age one Of the young
ladies remarked, Please be seated, sir I
dropped on the chair with so much force the
springs come near landing me on my head in
the middle of the room. [ finally succeeded in
getting seated, but could not look in any d.
rection without seeing myself in one Of those
mirrors. I knew that I felt awful bad, but
Captain Hill was bachelor and a ladies man
and soon attracted the attention of the young
ladies to himself, leaving me to mediate on
the ups and downs, but mostly the downs, of a
soldiers life. After a few minutes Judge
