The Way it is Done.
A pretty girl
With wavy curl.
An evening party somewhat late,
A homeward walk,
A loving talk,
A kissing tableau at the gate,
A moonlight night.
A hand squeezed tight,
A little reference to papa,
A little kiss,
A little bliss,
A consultation with mamma.

You take this maid your wife to be?"

I was in ' Atlanta the other day and I
heard a piece of news—sure enough
news, too—and I know the good people
of Rome will be surprised when they
hear that such reports are going over the
s ate in regard to Rome. I was sitting
in the Kimball House reading room when
two young men came in and sat near me.
I couldn’t help from hearing what they
said, although I tried awful hard to be
come interested in my paper. They were
talking of the various towns in Georgia
and one of them said:
“I tell you, Rome is a mighty good
town. Lots of pretty girls there, too."
“Yes.” said the other, “I like Rome
very much. Used to have a girl there.”
“Was she red-headed’”
“No; why do you ask that?”
“Well, when I was there I saw nore
reo-headed girls to the square inch than
I ever saw before in all my life. Big
girls, little girls, all sorts, ages and sizes."
I wanted to speak up for my native
town, not that the assertion just made
was any reflection, but because I knew
one or two that were not red-headed and
wanted to say something about them, but
just as I started toward them they left
and as they went out the door I heard
something about “white horses.”
Now, I hadn’t noticed that before, had
you?
Yesterday morning I vas walking down
the street v.’hen I spied the'glitter, of a
small me'al object, half hidden in the
folds of a bow of ribbon. I stooped ai.d
picked it up and tucked it in my vest
pocket and murmered softly to myself.
“Honi soit qui mal y pense.” It was a
new laid buckle that had adorned some
fair one’s er-er slipper and I rescued the
little thing and have it here awaiting the
call from the owner who will not have to
pay anything for this notice if she will
calland prove the ownership of the prop
erty —a sort of “Cinderella slipper" fash
ion, you know.
This is a story about a man over in
East Rome who has a great deal of
money, to which he is deeply attached.
He is, in fact, so attached to it that he
hates to be separated from a dollar of
it. He has a silk hat, too, and a well
preserved hat of great age aud un
doubted respectability. He is fond of
his hat, and he’d like’ to wear it every
day, but silk hats, you know, are ex
pensive, so be has been wearing his
for these many years just on Sunday.
Ou week days he wears a shocking
bad hat which does not concern this
story. The last time the storks visited
the East Rome man’s house they
were generous. They brought twins,
a boy and a girl. The father was sit
ting in the parlor when somebody en
tered to bring the news
“Well, you’re a father now," said
the somebody.
“Boy or girl?’’ asked the East Rome
man.
“Both —twins.” ‘
“Great scott!” cried the father
springing to his feet. “Give me my
silk hat. 1 might as well wear it every
day now—what’s the use of trying to
be economical, anyway?”
The Central has been in high
feather for several days. And it was
all on account of the striking coincid
ence of two names on the register.
They stood thus:
“I. M. Golden.”
“Jack O. Diamond ”
Mine host Gomez is looking for a
few more of that sort when he intends
to start a pawn broker’s shop.
Speaking of Mr. Gomez, a tipsy
young fellow got off a pretty good
thing some time ago. He was appa
rently from some town in the outly
ing districts, and looked as if he could
easily outlie everybody in the district.
Having heard the name “Gomez,”
be sided up to the genial hotel man
and asked:
“This Mr. Gomez?"
“That’s my name.”
“Any relation to Gineral Gomez
who’s a fixin’ to whip the stuffin’ out
o’ them Spanish inCuby?”
“Yes, brother,” answered Mr. Gomez
gravely.
“Ain’t you gwine over and help- ’im
out in the fracus?”

Fifty Years Ago.
This Is the stamp that the letter bore
Which carried the story far and wide,
Os certain cure for the loathsome sore
That bubbled up from the tainted tide
Os the blood below. And ’twas Ayer’s name
And his sarsaparilla, that all now, know.
That was just beginning its fight of fame
With its cures of 50 years ago,
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
is the original sarsaparilla. It
has behind it a record for cures
unequalled by any blood puri
fying compound. It is the only
sarsaparilla honored by a
medal at the World’s Fair of
1893. Others imitate the
remedy; they can’t imitate the
record:

“Thought I would.”
“Good, by jacks, you’re the very
feller I’m huntin’. I want to go, but
I’m sich a bleodthirty wretch that I’m
afeard to risk myself alone. I might
do something brash. Now, if I could
git with some big, good natured man
like you I’d Teel safe, for you would
help me to keep my dad burn temper
down and save the gover’ment a lot of
trouble.”
“All right, you can go along.”
All of which reminds me of another
story somewhat similar. This is on
one of Rome's young men, who some
| rimes gets a little tipsy, but who is a
I jolly, clever fellow for all that. I
wont go too much into the particulars
of this story because some of you
might recognize the young man and
| that would be too bad as he is very
' popular with the young ladies and
quite a favorite with some of the
older ones.
He went to the show Friday night, and
as his girl was out of town he went alone,
j He was with the ooys and he went out
I several times between the acts.
1 As I was going home from my work
about 12 o'clock I saw him sitting on the
sidewalk in front of a certain drygoods
; store, where they have two or three
i models for showing off dresses and other
; garments for ladies. He had his opera
, glasses to his eyes and was gazing earn
i estly at the figures in the show window.
Os course he saw more than were really
toere, and he imagined he was at the
ope.'a house. Waving his hand in the
air he cried:
“D’m (hie) fin’ show. (Hie) jus’ a
i li’l higher, girls, just a li’l higher.”
I I hope yon won't find out who it is,
but it was too good a story to keep.

The sweet gums and maples are all
aflame in yellow and purple and red. I
It is October everywhere—in the crisp
morning air, in the brown fields, in
the falling leaves under the partly
bared h’ckory trees. Do you know any
happiness sweeter, more unaloyed,
than walking in the autumn woods
nutting with your sweetheart, stirring
up the clean leaves with your feet
whispering the oft told tale? If you
do you have left childhood and child
hoods innocence and you will sigh
when you read this to think how much
nearer heaven you were when a boy
or girl. And while the fallen leaves
rustle under your feet, other leaves
come circling down in slow'and grace
ful spirals by twos and threes and
when the wind blows the
trees shiver in great, companies to
join the dead that have gone before.
When the frost comes the maple trees
in the North grow rich in color and
our maples and poplars vie with them,
but oh! the sweetgums. Red and yel
low and purple and green and every
shade of each all combined they rank
like contending armies with flaunting
banners. They are not today what
they will be tomorrow. It is a gallery
of pictures on exhibit painted by the
Master artist of the universe.
Oil Father Time has rolled arcund
the cycle of seasons and brought us in
sight of “possum and taters” onc e
more. The man who don’t like the
succulent marsupial all browned —the
lean and the fat so blended and run
ning into each other forming a sort of
animal manna, with big round yams
precipitately piled against his reeking
sides making one ambrosial result is
fit for treason, strategeins and spoils
For this odoriferous memory the fel
low whose pulse is subject to no irreg
ularities or whose olfactory nerves
registers no aberations has traveled a
long distance across a trackless main,
and found it a horribly dreary affair.
A nice baked ’possum stuffed with
sage and onions hath a fair sepulchre
in the grateful stomach of the judi
cious epicure—and for such a tomb
his opposumship might be content to
die. - - Frank T. Reynolds. .
