Start in a Long Way.

OIdTI III d Lon9 way.
We reached Canton at six o'clock in
the evening of a beautiful summer
day. I went ut once to call upon the
Dunkelbergs and learned from a man
at work in the dooryard that they had
gone away for the summer. How
keen was my disappointment! I went
to the tavern and got my supper and
then over to Ashery lane to see Mi
chael Racket and his family. I found
the schoolmaster playing his violin.
Snow God be praised-here is
Bart!!' he exclaimed as he put down
his instrument and took my hands
in his. 1--WE heard, my boy, how
bravely we've weathered the capes an

1 wondered what he meant for a
second and then asked:
"How go these days with you?"
"Swift as the weaver's shuttle" he
answered. "Slt you down, while I call
the family. They're out in the kitchen
putting the dishes away. Many hands
make light labor"
They came quickly and gathered
about me--a noisy. happy group. The

She slapped my arm and said with
mock severity:
"Stop that! Wy! You know better
ayes"
How vigorously She stirred the fire
then.
II can't return the complimentary
soul! how you've changed-ayes! !" she
remarked.
Il hope you amt fit no more, Bart.

right-no, it don't!"
"Why, Aunt Deel, what in the world
do you mean?" l asked.
"Its Purvis' brain that does the
poundin', 1 guess" said my uncle.
cts Kind O got the habit. It's a reg
lar beetle brain. To hear him talk
ye'd think he an you could clean out

dents. Why, anybody would SUPPOSED

Purvis,' ! remarked. "If there is no
body else to take the responsibility
for it he assumes it himself. His mag
ination has an intense craving for
blood and violence. It's that type Of
American who, egged on by the slavet
power, is hurrying us into trouble
! with Mexico" !
Purvis came in presently with al
look in his face which betrayed his
knowledge of the fact that all the cob
webs spun by his fancy were o toll
be brushed away. Still he enjoyed
them while they lasted and there was
! a kind of tacit claim in his mannert
that they were subjects regarding
which no honest man could be expect1
ed to tell the truth. 7
AS we ate our dinner they told me
that an escaped slave had come into
a neighboriing county and excited the
people with stories Of the auction
block and of negroes driven like yQked
oxen on plantations in South Carolina.
! whence he had escaped on a stSam-
boat. aak

Hell prohablyadvise against it;:. the
time isn't ripe for so great a change
was my answer. "He thinks that the
whole matter should be left to the gla-
cial action Of times forces" saa*ass
Indeed I had spoken the view Of
the sounder men of the North. The
subject filled them with dread alarm.
But the attitude of Uncle Peabody
was significant. The sentiment in fa1
vor of a change was growing, It was
now to be reckoned with, for the abo-
lition party was said to hold the bal
ance Of power in New York and New
England and was behaving itself like

and T enjoyed my walk: oo7er the famll-
lar road and up into the hill country.
The birds seemed to sing a welcome
to me. Men and boys I had known
waved their hats in the hayfelds and
looked at me. There are few pleas
ures in this world like that Of a boy
getting home after a long absence.
My heart beat fast when I saw the
house and my uncle and Purvis coming
in from the twenty-acre lot with a
load of hay. Aunt Deel stood on the
front steps looking down the road.
Now and then her waving handker-
chief went to her eyes. Uncle Pea
body came down the standard off his
lead and walked toward me.
"Say, stranger, have you sec any
thing of a Teller by the name O. Bart
Baynes?" he demanded.

Say! what have We done with that boy

sat together in the shahfy, great room
after supper, but~she seemed to enjoy
my talk and I went into the details Of
my personal history.
The look on her face, even while I
wa speaking, indicated that her
thoughts wandered, restlessly, in the
gloomy desert of her past. I thought
of that gay, birdlike youth Of hers Of
! which the old man with the scythe
had told me, and wondered. AS 1 was
thinking of this there came a cry from
the aged squire so loud and doleful
that it startled me and I turned and
looked toward the open door.
Kate rose and came to my side and
! leaned toward my ear Whispering:
at is my father. He is always think
ing Of when I was a girl. He wants
me-"
She babe me good night and left
the room. Doubtless it was the out
ragged, departed spirit of that golden
time which was haunting the old
squire. A Bible lay on the table near
me and I sat reading it for an hour or
so. A tall clock in a corner solemnly
tolled the hour Of nine. In came the
tall woman and asked me in the
brogue of the Irish:
"Would you like to go to bedY
eyes, I am tired"
She took q candle and led me up 8

The Federal Court.

A year or so ago a man named
Cummings, from South Carolina,
advertised potatoe sprouts for
sale, receiving hundreds of Or
ders but never delivering the
slips. A graft game, pure and
simple.
The federal authorities took a
hand in this little game, and he
now faces trial at Charleston in
federal court for using the mails
for fraudulent purposes. H. H
Brown and Mrs. w. X. Culber
son, of Roberdel No. 2, were a.
mong those who paid out their
good money for the rascals slips,
and these two went to Charles
ton Wednesday morning to ap
pear as witnesses, summoned by
the government.

Supper Given by Clayton a Great
Success.-The supper given by the
Clayton Firemen on February 7th and
9Th was a great success, both socially
and paying off the indebtness of the
new fire truck. Farmers and citizens
turned out en- masse to attend the sup
per after having contributed literally
of the good things to eat. Credit for
the real success of the supper, how
ever, belongs to the ladies whose un-
firing efforts and efficient manage
ment resulted in everything going
through without hitch. The Smyr-
ma tlremen came over with the equip
ment and attended in body. They
presented a striking appearance in
their natty uniforms. The Clayton
boys appreciated this demonstration
of good fellowship. Smyrna and
Clayton will be well protected against
fire by the two companies as there will
be no town, lines drawn when help is
needed.We wish to dwell little on the
fellowship display by the Smyrna boys.
Why should not the two towns CO.
operate on all public questions. A
High School between the two towns.
A good road and concrete walks be-
tween the two towns. A half hour
jitney service from 100 a. M, to HOO
p. m, running from the town square
in Smyrna to the Post Office at Clay

over 5000. Some new industries will
soon locate in Clayton. Organize q
Committee composed Of the public
spirited men and women of both towns
and get a few more industries. En-.

between the two towns in order tC

the advantages, comforts and amuse

Clayton folks turned Loyalty Friday
evening to the Firemen's Supper and
besides making it a social event,
cleared up the tables to such an extent
that everybody was sold out long be-
fore the expected time. The Firemen
could have sold much more had the
provisions been available. AS it was,
they cleared about $4,000. This sum
will go toward buying new fire truck
for the Fire Company. A feature,
much appreciated, was a visit of
Smyrna's fire engine and large dele
cation of Smyrna firemen, who patro-
nized the supper literally.
