Sale of the Ashe Property in
KerShaW.

Kershaw special in the News
and Courier: The safe for parti-
tion of the estate of the late John
R. Ashe was held here to-day in
front Of the City Hall.
Considering the tightness of
the money market and hard
times generally, the property
bought fair prices. The Ashe
block, bringing $4,000, was
brought by w. U. OIyburn and
the other lots in about the same
proportion.
One of the best lots in the res
idence portion Of the town was
bid in by the trustees of the col
ored Baptist Church for the pur-
pose of erecting a negro church.
1t is probiematical whether it
will ever be built, as there is a
strong feeling against it, and
every effort will be made to pre-
vent it by the property owners
adjoining and the citizens gem
orally.
Col. w. w. Lewis, of York
Vile, representing the heirs of
the late John r. Ashe, was here
to day attending the sale, which
was conducted by Clerk of Court

it had come when her heart was sick
for Dick; but she was barely twenty
and the present dwelt very much with
her. Her defiant, scornful eyes drop
ped, she dragged with both hands ut
the corner Of her apron, the blush
that mantled in her cheeks spread IN
til it met the little curls behind her
ears.
John pulled her into corner OF the
ingle-nook where they were screened
from sight.

whispered again.
A new love fought with the old des-
perately in Nance's heart
Dick is dead, Dick is dead" said
the new love. "Who will hold you In
his arms now? Must you remain alone
with no one to love you, because Dick
is dead2 You are young-meant to be
happy-and John is alive. He is here
by your side, ready to kiss old sorrow
out of your heart"
And John whispered SO low that his
voice was hardly more audible than
the new love-voice, urged her with
feverish, impelling words
Must your tears fall until they
wash your beauty away, Nance?." he
said. "Will you grow old and gray and

They looked at one another. The
mention Of big cities had set then
thinking both of the same thing.

"you've had no news?"
A blush suffused the girls cheek
then she drew away from the table
and became strangely still.

Nothing from India? Nothing from

"Nothing!"
There can't be any hope!" John
was torn between his desire to lend
finality to his words and appear sym

little, wiping her eyes with the corner
of her white apron.
John looked at her for a second in
surprise, and then rose and came
round the table.

hoarsely. "why do ZEE cry for him,
lass? It's more than year since you

But Nance would not be comforted.
in her heart she knew that Dick must
be dead, but the sudden thought that
never again would she see the boy

to his heart, filled her eyes with tears
that would not be denied.

John, who promptly fell to on the
great plate Of beef. the homemade
pickles, the home-baked bread, and
the foaming Jug Of ale.
Nance sat down by him and waited
till his healthy hunger should be sui
ficiently appeased to allow time for
civilities.
.Well, lass?" quiried John presently,
in q pause between bites.
"Well, John?"
Their words were not many-the

She looked apprehensively at the
tramp, fearing lest he should have
heard.
Then commenced their usual morn
ing chat, the chat they had enjoyed
every working day since, six months
before, John had discovered that 1t
was much more pleasant to take his
meals in the inn than in his own lone
ly house.
The tramp was soon forgotten in a
discussion as to the merits of the SOW
that had just gone to Legget's farm.
From that the talk drifted to crops,
the price of seed, and then to Johns
plans for the future. On and on wag-
ged their tongues, for now they were
on their common ground-the soil
shyness had disappeared.
"a want this, and that, and t'other,"
said John. "Come Christmas All go TO
