A Granny" Of Other Days.

religion and common sense, haC a wife whom he always called My better half. y
 l It issaid that, as a girl, Gran ny, Rhoda was beautiful. but not at all conceited, To one who spoke of her good looks, she replied, calmly, But, dear me, it is so easy for a pretty girl to be ugly, and for a homely girl to be lovely"
 Granny Rhoda was an accom- plished woman. She could shear a sheep; wash, dye and card the wool; spin the thread and weave the cloth; cut and make a suit for man, woman or child. She understood everything in the house, from the oven in the kit chen to the organ in the parlor. Granny Rhoda was industrious. AS a young mother, she used to rock the cradle with one foot, churn with her right hand, and keep the flies away from the baby and the churn with a peach sprout in her left hand, while she sang cheerily. What won drous love is this, o my soul"'
 Granny Rhoda was fearless Her home in early married life was not far from a dense swamp. One night when her husband could not get home on account of high water, and she and two baby girls were in the house alone, two miles from the near est neighbor, some big black bears began to fight right under the room they were occupying. Jumping from the bed and put ting on her shoes, she stamped on the floor, and shouted, Get out of here, you bears, How do you expect a body to sleep when you are making so much noise?' And they went. She saw them in the moonlight-three of them as they scurried toward the swamp.
 Granny Rhoda was neat. The places behind doors, under beds, and in the corners of the rooms, she swept as clean as the middle of the floor. The back yard had to be as pretty as the front yard. Shoes had to blacked on the heels Face powder not allowed to cover dirt.
 Granny Rhoda was proud, but not vain. To her growing child ren aud grandchildren she would say, Hold up your shoulders. The Atkinses havn't anything but a good name, and they can't keep that if they go dropping about as if they were ashamed of something" "
 Granny Rhoda was sweet-tem- pered. When every one else was fustered, and the whole world seemed to be going wrong, she was calm. A neighbor wo- man once tried to quarrel with her over some trivial affair, Granny Rhoda heard her tirade patiently to the end, and then said, Thank you, dear, 1 try never to get angry. "
 Granny Rhoda had faith in God. She was ninety-two when she died. Her children, grand children and great-grandchildren were with her. A few minutes before death came, one of them said to her, Granny, do you know that you are sinking?
 With last flash from her big gray eyes, she replied, No, no, Pm not sinking. 1 know what Pm doing. Pm rising. It is only one step through the air. Good night childrenl"

POND SINKS AT
so. PITTSBURG
Strange Sinking of Body OF
Water Alarms People on
South Side.

South Pittsburg, Nov. "a. Excite
ment has been occasioned in this city
and section for the past two days over
the sinking of pond on the Choat
farm, about two miles from here on
the south side of the river. The pond
was a large one, was the rendezvous
of ducks, both tame and wild, and
was the favorite bunting place for the
nimrods of this entire section. No
cause has been given for the strange
disappearance or sinking of the pool,
other than that some believe that an
under stream from the Tennessee river
fed the place and had by constant
washing for years undermined the bot
tom and carried the water to the main
body of the stream. The only thing
remaining is large hole, the depth
of which has not been ascertained.
Some of the residents of that section
of the county are fearful other land
will eventually 60 down like the pond.
The hunters of this city are making
their trips to that part few and far
between, and the quail will no doubt
welcome the scare.
From the attitude of the people
who live near the sunken pond and
those of this city, who have frequent
ed the place, it will be long time be-
fore the mystery will be Investigated.
