“Miss Summers —Polly—I—er—dare I —”
But the speaker took a header over bash
fulness, only to hear a sweet:
“Yeti, Charlie.’
“Can I aspire to—er—to—that is—’’
Again a lapse into silence, followed by
an encouraging:
“Yes, Charlie.”
“Oh, if I might only hope to—er —to— ’’
Another failure of language. It was
seemingly a hopeless case, and might have
been, only for a demure:
“Charlie, I’ve said ‘yes' twice, and if you
mean it, I mean it too, and —and—”
t And to this day that young man will
insist that he popped th»question.
All this happened away “up north” and
it wasn’t long before there was a wedding.
Not much longer before there came a letter
from Polly’s Uncle Josh out in Georgia,
who wrote effusely of his delight at her ex
hibition of what he called “grit,” and he
proposed that if the young couple would lo
cate at Roms he would start them up in life
as a wedding gift.
Os course they accepted and were soon
bidding their friends adieu,
• • » e • **•
A few weeks subsequent to the above
conversation, a travel-stained party ar
rived at Rome. Our friend Uncle Josh was
in charge and he led the party straightway
to a hotel. The Central said he, “is a typi
cal $2 00 per day hotel of the best class. I
have known Mr. M. Gomez the manager, for
years, and he is mine host after mine own
heart. A thorough business man, he is en
dowed with that delightful intuition that
makes a guest feel at home, comfortable,
contented and in mighty good luck. The
house is a marvel of convenience: the
apartments are handsomely furnished ; the
cuisine all that a superior chief and un
limited orders on the market can make it,
and the attendents polite and expert.”
“After breakfast” began the old man “I
am reatly to commence the fulfillment of
-my promise: To expediate matters, I
have ordered a conveyance from Jas. Doug
las and Co.’s leading livery firm.” When
the handsome carriage, with prancing
horses and neatly dr ssed driver at the
reins arrived, Polly expressed great de
light. Continued Uncle Josh, “I can al
ways get the best livery service of Douglas.
The three ‘S’s,’ speed, safety, style is his
motto. Messrs Douglas and Co. know just
what the traveling public want and cater
accordingly. So Charles, when desiring
to take a business or pleasure drive yon
“knowwhereto go for a team.’
“Having provided you with a cage foil
your bird,” said Uncle Josh, “the first
thing we’ll look after will be the furnish
ing for it.” Hereupon Polly energetically
declared that she had heard so much about
Hanks and Roberts that she desired to go
there. The result was that they were
ushered into such a bewildering display
that the girl was at first at a loss how to
select. But she soon yielded to the seduc
tiveness es a magnificent parlor suite, a
bedroom set in oak (antique finish) that
.would have done credit to old Antiquity
herself. To this she added a dining-room
set with all accessories, a complete kitchen
•mitfit, and didn’t forget a most convenient
and ornamental writing desk for “Hubby”
Charles.
*“A pretty good start,” said the old man,
“and now we’ll go to Carver and Harper’s
house furnishing store.” Here Polly’s
house-wifely instincts had full play in mar
vels of kitchen apparatus.
Taere is not an establishment in Home
that carries a more comprehensive stock of
household furnishings, livery possible
piece of kitchen furniture, from a tin dipper
to a cooking range is here in all styles and
variety. If Polly fails to accomplish won
ders in the culinary art, it will not be for
■fault of superior cooking utensils. For her
most important purchase was a charter oak
with celebrated gauze doors.
“Let’s see-—I promised you a gold
watch, didn’t I?" queried Uncle Josh of
Polly. “The place of all places in town is
J. K. Williamson so we’ll go there.” En
tering the popular jewelry store, the old
man gallantly acquitted himkelf of his
premise and then directed Polly’s attention
to the superior stock of silverware carried
by the house. “There is no other such
■ house in town said the old man, "and I will
quarantee the quality to be the very best.
Jjick out your family clock while here,”
he added—Williamson carries a magnifi
cent line. “Don’t forget another fact,” he
continued, “if ever you unfortunately need
optical goods, this is the place to come. He
has every thing required to improve affected
eyes and to determine the required treat
ment. Uncle Josh presented Charles with
| the latest New York fad.

of Charles, th a old man ind ulged in a half
serious criticism of his personal appear
ance. “You, are decidedly off style for a
townsman.” paid he, “and we’d better go
ove to W. M. Gammon and Co. After
Charles had fitted himself out in a neat and
late style business suite from the piles of
fashionable garments that cover the tables
of this extensively stocked establishment,
Uncle Josh declared that “Now you look
like a newly inarried man.” Before leav
ing, havingfejund goods and prices irresist
ible, Charles also invested in a complete
outfit of gent’s furnishing goodn, from the
latest style hat to a dozen shirts. This
house is not to be undersold in Georgia.
“These house-fixings remind me,” said
the old gentleman, “that you haven’t got
your dishes yet. The most famous stock in
extent, quality and completeness is at Car
ver and Harper's the same place you got
your cooking stove. But the average Tkib
une reader need not be told what an array
of tableware Polly had to select from.
There isn’t, positively, a thing in the line
of china, crockery, glass or porcelain need
ed for use or ornament in any part of the
house that cannot be found there in infinite
variety' and at wonderfully low prices.
They also have a splendid stock of lamps
of every description, and silverware in
abundance. Polly's order suggested her
thorough appreciation.
“Halt! coiamanded Uncle Josh, as the
two come in front of D. W. Curry's hand
some drug store, “Come in”—“WliyfUncle
we’re not sick” “Well, guess I know that
and suppose you never will be, but I sus
pect it will not be very long before this
young man begins to take a decided inter
est in matters of paregoric. Come in any
Ey, Polly may find some toilet articles
wants.” Sure enough, before leaving
was loaded down with combs, brushes,
faeepowder, and several ounces of Hue im
po?ted perfumes.
Then the old man continued. “Have
your prescriptions filled here as both Mr.
Curry and his clerks are competent phar
macists—they will put up your medicines
carefully using nothing but pure and
wholesome drugs.”
“By the way, Uncle,” exclaimed Polly,
“where can I go for dry goods? This dress
of mine is hardly suitable I must admit.”
“Well, my girl, if you want to select from
one of the most extensively stocked estab
lishments in the city, I will direct you to
Thos. Fahy, who carries a line of dress
goods that for variety and real value, is
' seldom seen outside the largest metropoli
tan cities. Mr. Fahy carries all the latest
weaves in fashionable dress goods and you
are sure to be guided right iu your selec
tions. You will find Mr. Fahy pleasant to
deal with and his employes polite and ex
pert, while his prices cannot be duplicated.”
“Oh, I must have an album, Uncle Josh,”
! exclaimed Polly, “and ' “Yes, and a
Bible with a reasonable big family regis
ter,” interrupted the old man, “so we’ll go
down to If. M. Tanner's book store. You'll
find many articles indispensable for the
parlor as well as lib.ary there.” And for
variety they have an unequalled stock and
Polly's purchase included miscellaneous
books, fancy stationary, (all the latest ago
nies) brick-a-brac pictures and frames for
pictures. Uncle Josh remarked that Tan
ner was also handling the best pianos and
organs and eten intimated that he would
get Polly one at an early date.
8fi“I declare, Uncle,” exclaimed Charles,
“there goes a handsome phaeton; I must
have one like that for the girl.” “Get it
right here,” sententiously said the old man.
“My friends, R. H. Jones & Sons Manufac
turing Co., conduct a carriage repository
here that for variety and excellence of
stock cannot be beaten. They manufacture
aurreys, carriages, buggies and phaetons
of all the leading styles, and are satisfied
with a moderate profit, too." Polly was
soon the happy possessor of an elegant
buggy—but of course Jones & Sons Manu
facturing Co., sell a cheap buggy too, if
wanted. Uncle Josh mule himself a pres

reflectively, “but I can remedy that.
Hauks & Roberts always have a nice line of

want it; I'll pay for the best.”
“W-b-y,” exclaimed Polly with great
curiosity, “whatever is it?”
