ABashful Wooing

[copyrixht 1898. By t. C. Mociwel
Mrs. Sarah Whchell. owner OF the
Winchsil farm. was a widow and in
The matrimonial market.
One dag calamity came. Two hives
bf bees started to swarm at once. The
widow rushed out and began hammer.
Ing on pan and got the bees 10 alight
Tor the nonco. but that was as far 40
she ceuld go. She stood yelling for
beip whom help came. A traveller on
the highway stopped and hitched his
horse and walked up the path. He
saw what sAsuld be done, and he went
ahead and did II. In a quarter Of an
hour he had the swarms In the new
hives. and after a look at the others
informed the widow that II would be
several days yet before they would
como out. She had time TO look at him
while he was at work. and she rather
liked bis looks So far AZ she could
make out be hardly glanced at her. and
he certainly had bat few words to
say. When be had finished his work
he looked ever her head, said he was
glad to have been Of use and took his
departure. The widow had saved the
bees. but she was piqued. ANY widow
would have been.
Three or four days later the other
hiyes swarmed and were taken care Of
by the hired men. Then the stranger
appeared again to ask how the insects
were getting along. He seemed en-
barrassed and 10 hurry and refused
the invitation to enter the house. He
also appeared to look everywhere else
but at the widow. Her hair was nicely
oombed, her apron snow white and her
cheeks like roses. but he paid more
attention to the pear tree and the soap
kettle and the summer sQnashes than
to her. He just wanted to know, you
know, and was glad to Gnd out and
then was gone.
OF course q widow that had turned
down a degen offers of matr1mony
could not do otherwise han look after
tho retreating stranger and toss her
head and say that he was man that
did not appreciate a good thing. New
ertheless she made some cautious In
quiries of the hired men and in that
way found out that be was new res
ident Of EileRton. but no more.
Then another week passed and the
stranger called to say that he was
looking around to purchase a good
farm, and no wished to inquire IT the
widows was for sale. On this occa-
sion he entered the house, but evident
" with reluctance he was certainly
bashful man. In that he was nov-
city. When Deacon Graham, widow
err, came to buy the farm a year be-
fore he had stood In the Kitchen door
and boldly announced:
"Whder Winchell. I'm a-looking to
buy farm. IL you go with this. LII
pay $40 an acre"
That meant $50 an acre for the farm

KILLING AND pILLAGING.
Persians Marching on Julia Shooting
Down the People.

st. Petersburg, March ia dispatch
to the Novoe Vremya from Julia, on
the frontier between Persia and Russia,
says that 1000 Persian government
horsemen and 500 infantrymen are now
marching on Julia from the Persian bank
of the Araxes river, devastating the viii
lages in their path and shooting down
the people.
Already 10 villages, four of them in
habited by Russian subjects, have been
pillaged and burned. The troops ar0
ruthlessly killing the fleeing peasants.
Many women, carrying their children
on their backs, attempted to swim the
Araxes to the Russian side, but they
were shot down. Three hundred families
have taken refuge on an island in the
river opposite Julia.

and $40 an acre for her, cnd, though q
blunt way OF putting II. she was moi
so very Indignant The stranger. who
bad at last introduced himself as Mr
Bingham, threw out no hint OF want
Ing anything but the farm. Most any
widow would have felt the slight. And
then, toe, when she had replied that
the farm was not for sale be at once
rose Up to depart without speaking OF
how wheat and corn were looking up
or casting a second glance at the bar
rel OF soft soap she had made the day
before and left at the kitchen door TO
cool. II hurt and It aggravated. Mr..
Bingham might be bashful man, but
there arc times when even q bashful
man should force himself 70 talk.
Two weeks passed away, and then
az the widow sat on the piazza one
afternoon booking 30 nice that Farmer
Johnson's mouth watered as he drove
past Mr.. Bingham called again. This
time II was TO sec II the widow had
q COW to sell. He was invited to sit
down, and cows were discussed. He
was looking away into the garden In
stead Of at the woman, as be sought
to do bis share OF the discussing. The
widow had no cows 10 sell, but she
didn't say 80. She left the impression
on the callers mind that II he came
again he might possibly buy one. She
jumped from cows 10 calves and from
calves 10 sheep and lambs In hopes to
detain him, but be got away as soon
as possible Others had sat around
until fairly driven out Of the house
with the broomstick. Others had bold
ly battered. but he had said nothing
In praise. The widow tossed her head
and said she didn't care, but we know
she did. Just the same.
At the end OF another ten days the
bashfu, Mr.. Bingham was back to
ask II the widow would sell him
hog or two with the COW. She was
sitting on the veranda again, and, as
before, he was invited to take seat.
When he had done so she moved so
as 10 hem him in and said:
"Eow, sir, look me square ia tho
fnce. Are you a widowerf Do you
want to buy farmi Do ron want TO
buy a COW and some hogs? Do Jon
want to, buy hens or ducksG Are you
after lambs or gandersT
Mr.. Bingham blushed and cast down
his eyes and fdgeted around, and the
widow continued:
IF you are widower and after

rest rooms for the ladies and check
room where babies may be left in charge
of trained nurse.
Then besides this, more than five hun
dred new benches have been made and
placed in shady spots all over the
grounds. Of course the emergency hos
pital will be there, too-a place where
doctors and white-aproned nurses will
attend to all ailments-anything from
pain in the sawdust" to fractured
limb.
The branch telephone office will be in
stalled again and stations will be placed
in every building and in every section of
the grounds. Branch telegraph stations
for both the Postal and the Western
Union will be located in the grand stand.
The Nashville Fire Department will
have a chemical engine and full crew
of men and horses.
The water supply will be even better
provided for, than it was last year, when
the concrete fountains along the main
boulevard supplied the thousands with
ice cold water in abundance and with
out cost.
In short, while visitors are learning
facts that will mean money TO them
or are indulging in the wholesome recrea-
ton which the fair affords, they will
at the same time be made COMFORT.
ABLE.
Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1909-09-02
FavOrs Sequachee.

Our sister county and, by the way,
the county wherein we were born and
reared, is to have high school. This
is another round in Marion's education
al ladder, and we rejoice with the peo-
Pile of that good county upon their Sc
curing a county high school.
The most difficult task now seems to
be the decision of location. South
Pittsburg is putting up a strong fight
for it and Jasper is also bidding. The
people of Sequatchie do not seem to be
taking very much interest in the mat
ter, but to our mind Seduatchie is the
place for It, The Sequatchie Valley
News says it is the geographical cen
ter" "rhe Hustler" of So. Pittsburg,
says that So. Pittsburg is the illogical
CENTER" and we suppose that Jasper
will claim the ideal CENTER" but some
how we have always been partial to
Sequatchie as the most suitable place
in the county for such school and es-
pecially so when we take into consider
alton the magnificent building that is
available for educational purposes. AS
we are not directly concerned we shall
not give all our reasons for our prefer
ence, but hope that our sister county
will do whatever is for the best interest is
of her large number of noble young
people Mrs. Grundy, Tracy City.
