Woodruff County news. [volume] (McCrory, Ark.) 1901-1910, 1908-03-19

Every community is cursed by
a class of people who make it their
business to attend to everybody's
business but their own. Such
people are the meanest specimens
of depraved humanity which an all
wise Providence permits to exist
on this green earth. 1t is we'll
known that almost every person is
sometimes disposed to speak evil
of others; and tattling is a sin
from which very few can claim to
be entirely exempt. But the OBJ
ject of this article is to call atten-
ton to that distinct class of tattlers
who make tale-bearing the con-
slant business of their lives. For
tunately we have but few such in
this community, but no commun-
ity is entirely free from them.
They pry into the private affairs of
every family in the neighborhood,
they know the exact state of one
neighbours feelings towards anoth-
err; they understand everybody's
faults, and no little blunder or
misdemeanor ever escapes their
vigilant watchfulness. They are
Il y ticularly well posted on every
ching connected with courtship and
matrimony; know who are going
to marry and can guess the exact
time when the golden knot will be
tied. They watch every movement
OF parties suspected of matrimoni-
al intentions, and if there is the
slightest chance to create disturb
ance, excite jealousy, or "break-
up" match, they take immediate
advantage of it and do all in their
power to keep people in constant
state of vexation. They glide
quietly from gentleman to lady,
from mother to daughter, from
father to son, and into the ears of
all they pour their dark, bitter
whisperings of SANDER and abuse,
and at the same time pretend to be
the most sincere friend of those
they talk to. Their black and
nauseous pills of malicious SANDER
are sugar-coated with smiles and
honeyed words of friendship.
Tattlers are confined to no par
ticular class of society. They be-
long to all classes, and operate in
all. We find them among the
rich and the poor, "upper ten"
and the Clover Million" in the
church and out of it. They are
people who have no higher am
bition than to be we'll informed in
regard to other peoples private
business, to retail scandal to their
neighbors, and exult in fiendish
triumph over the wounded feelings
and bruised hearts of their inno-
cent victims. Our contempt for
such graceless creatures knows no
bounds, and we can find no words
in which to express its infamy.
What punishment they deserve we
cannot know.

Full of "Reminiscences.

At the different army stations in the
west it is the practice for the officers
on leaving their post for some distant
station to sell off everything they do
not care to keep. In connection with
this custom in "Reminiscences of a Sol
der's Wife" Mrs Ellen Biddle tells an
amusing story.
There was very estimable woman
living at the garrison, veritable Mrs.
Malaprop. She told us of some jew
elry she had lost, and among the
things was a topaz chain with beau
tiful pendulum"
The lady held an auction before she
left, after her husbands death, and
when some silver plated knives were
put up for sale she rose and in a sob
bling voice said: ooh, dear, no. l cam
not sell them! They have been in dear
Johns mouth too often!'

Aristocracy.

What subsists today by violence
continues tomorrow by acQulescence
and is perpetuated by tradition till ut
last the hoary abuse shakes the gray
hairs of antiquity at us and gives itself
out as the wisdom of ages. Thus the
clearest dictates of reason are made
to yield to long succession of folies.
And this is the foundation Of the
aristocratic system at the present day.
Its stronghold, with all those not I'M
mediately Interested in it. is the rev.
erence Of antiquity.-Edward Everett.

MERCER in that sum. Without any doubt she
valued such bit of lace; and if anything were
needed to demonstrate to him the wisdom of the
course he had decided on and the utter alb
surdity of having dared for single moment to
look with love one of these darlings of fortune,
it was the fact that her handkerchefs alone were
items of five hundred dollars. What shame!
what wickedness! what preposterous folly!
How could a young man marry! He burned
with indignation then.
But to replace it: one-third of the sum he

ruin of his hopes, his ambitions, his pride, that
scorned so to be anybody's debtor; 1t threw him
back in the race, how long! But it must be done.

the necessary sum, and folded it away IN MS pocK,
et-book, and then went about ms ouslness iii
night-fal when he came back to his dreary rooms
and made himself ready for a call at Mrs. Bar
nettas. s,
The night had never seemed so beautiful, the
stars so large and keen and far above the eartn
so remote and cold-they typifed all the dear
and happy things of life forever removed from
him. His heart was chilled and his face was
white when he stood at last in Mrs Barnettas
drawing-room and she foated forward to meet
him. He had not asked for Miss MERCER.
at is a delicate errand, Mrs Barnetta SAID
he, with a dreary attempt at smiling. But tne
truth it that my maid in her oficous Kindness
has done such damage to a bit of Miss Merciers
property that l must replace it. And | nave
come to beg you, out of your friendship for me,
to transact the affair, if such an article can be

and the little limp rag in Mrs Barnettas hand

ooh, that is too good" cried Mrs. Barnetta,
with peal of laughter at is too good, it is too
absurd! What creatures men are! Did you mag
inc that this bit of finery worth all that?
this little scrid of grass-cloth and German lace?
No wonder the young men don't marry, then! My
dear Mr.. Malvin, this miserable handkerchief cost
exactly two dollars and a half, and was nearly
out at that Did you imagine, too, that my
poor little Rosa could wear five hundred-doar
handkerchefs, without a cent to her name?"
without cent to her name?" cried Lucian
sprnging to his feet.
Exactly. All! Is that the trouble? Now
why didn't you come and talk it all over with me
in the way you used to do and save yourself all
this vexation, and my little Rosa too? What
an absurd boy you are! Another would have

to hear that she is penness. Well, she is, if that

Lucian had not waited for the rest of the in

Rosa was already in his arms.
