SWEETNESS REWARDED.
K1MAN. Tenn., October 29.—[Spe
j When I rode up onto Emorj
iglits, overlooking this place, the early
]i . bt was almost upon me, but I could
in softened outline, the curves of the
ntiful Kraory winding below me, the
jjj ng hills beyond, and the mountains,
lent, watchful and slumberous purple
nged around, while in the middle ground
eped out the roofs of Harriman itself.
When I was here, some two years ago,
e only beacon that lit me to the valley
as the cheerful beam from a single farm'
ouse _the Jackson homestead, which
as afterward my stopping place. Now,
s the dusk deepened, the seven-inonths-
ld citv began to wink with electric
ights.
I'hebe was “born and raised” far up the
ountains, and is hopelessly rustic and
•ountry bred, never having seen more
hail a dozen houses together in her life,
nd regarding a group of ten people as no
Jess than a riot She looked with pathetic
iMjiav at this appalling, and unnatural
Humiliation. If the skies had not fallen,
Dlainlv the moon and a large number of the
tars had: and she later objected strenu-
usly to going down among the planets.
1 went to a real, sure enough hotel,
here- ! felt very wayworn and dilapidated
and 1 put I'hebe in a genuine livery sta
ble where, so far from sharing my diffi
dence. she ate her oats and took her rab
bi,,,. with a contemptuously indifferent
air, which a struggling parveuue would
have envied, and was as saucy and arro
gant as possible with the sleek city-bred
horses among whom she iound herself.
One. member of the Jackson household
in whom I had come to feel a warm, al
most tender interest, dnring my previous
visit, was Olmadella—Ollie for short—a
drl of about fifteen, a pleasant, round
faced, little thing, with big blue eyes and
■a sort of confiding, boyish tuauner, entire
ly different from the stolid lumpishness or
untamable shyness of the ordinary Ten
nessee cracker. She was the little maid
of all work, the only “heip” in the house,
vny taithful and efficient help, too; and
withal, the jolliest little soul in the world,
which fact, in the face of her story as
told by Mrs. Jackson, was to me particu
larly touching.
Her parents were of the common, poor
country people, a little better than the or
dinary white trash, though neither of
them could read or write. There was, of
course, a big family, one girl older than
ollie and younger children ad libitum, the
house never being without a poor, little
dirty baby, that had to be carried by its
mother out into the field and laid under a
ir> e or hedge, while she hoed or dug pota
toes, or tended corn, for this was the only
kind of work in which Mrs. Iledder was
skilled. The old man was trifling and
worthless beyond expression; he occasion
ally did a little liiikering work, or a little
peddling of chickens, eggs arid butler for
some 1 aimer. The oldest girl, Lometa,
familiarly Loiny, was a fine looking, good
Matured creatured creature, in appearance
and dispositon much like iier father, She
usually did such poor cooking as was done,
and worked lu side her mother in the field,
when they could get a day’s work to do.
Her people were not, I supposo, abso
lutely cruel or unkind to Ollie, as they re
garded it; but like nearly all of their sort,
when they found that she was smart and
capable and could earn good wages, they
legal dial her as a valuable work animal,
and heriaruings as their rightful due.
When she had been with Mrs. Jackson
two or three months, they having received
small sums along as their needs demanded,
they came and applied for every cent due
her up to date, and as much more as her
employer was willing to advance. They
were in high feather. Loiny was going
to be married to an idle worthless fellow,
vicious, disreputable scamp,a sort of neigh
borhood scourge, whom no decent girl
thereabout, liowever poor aud humble,
would have spoken to. Ollie kuew what a
scoundrel the fellow was, and that nothing
hut miseiy for all concerned could result
horn such a marriage, but she could do
nothing in the matter, and dutifully hand
ed out t he money. Tawdry finery was
bought, and eggs, butter and sugar pro
cured, from which ihe expectant bride
constructed cakes. They went into the
oven freighted with fond hopes and deadly
IHissihilities, raised like a presidential
boom, hut collapsed as entirely as the
same in an off year, and came out a sjiI-
low, sad and gluey su stance that to any
civilized anatomy would have only been
less deadly than well directed bullets.
They had their wedding; they gorged
themselves on these and similar dainties
and lived, because they were poor and
wretch, d, .nl had nothing to hope for,
and the world did not need them.
Whan the last baby was born they sent
again or all of Ollie’s money with which
to buy food, clothing and provisions, and
ollie give all willingly; her kind little
heart .as especially tender and pitiful to
the pyr little ones.
Witp all a young creature’s love for
pretty things, she yet denied herself eve
ry thing but the coarsest, commonest cloth
ing. '.vn.s saving, saving, hoping to get
enough og >th. r to do some permanent
good -to lift the miserable family out of
their slough of poverty.
I well remembered one day 1 was sitting
in my own room talking to jus. Jackson,
"hen Ollie suddenly burst in. with her
month already open ' o deliver some start-
hngrew-; but si e t p d abruptly with
he r hand yet oil the uoor-knob, audjlooked
a! me with her soul in her eyes,as a young
devotee might gaze at his particular pet
stint.
"Olt. Miss Alice! Oh, Miss Alice!”
she exclaimed, “What a purty dress!
" hut a beautiful dress! Mrs. Jackson,
cid you ever see such a lovely dress!”
l’hen, after a devout pause, in heartfelt
mes, “I’m a-goin’ to have a l'roek like
that before I die.”
Door cluld! 1 had on a gray, picturesque
house gown. After a pause, in which her
hig soft eyes drank in every detail of its
• amboyaut beauty, she suddenly gave a
’ ;tie gasp and said, “Oh, I forgot! Miss
Mabry sent Jinny over to tell ye the
leaves is afire in their nigh woods, and
they're afraid hit'll burn the fence, an'
can Jim an’ Oscar come over an’ help
tight it awhile?”
On the morning after my late arrival in
Harriman, I sal out for Mrs. Jackson's.
I found the old farmhouse upon a broad
new street, its pastures and meadows cut
into town lots, its ancient dignity pertly
elbowed by smart new structures.
Mrs. Jackson was quite her unchanged
natnral, motherly self among her meta
morphosed surroundings. As soon as our
first greetings were over I asked for Ollie.
“Ollie? I do wish you’d a been here
last Monday,” said she.
“Why, what happened Monday?” I in
quired.
“Well, I won’t tell younow, that would
be beginning at the wrong end.”
“You remember what a time the child
had with the shiftless family of hers; well,
shortly after you were here she saved
enougli outside of their constant demands
to buy two young cows for them. She was
greatly delighted that now they could have
butterand milk for the little ones. But at
week or so afterward she came back from
a visit home crying bitterly; and when I
questioned her, she told me with many
lamentions, how the old man had traded
off Daisy for a blind Texas pony, and the
very n»'xt day the owner of the horse,
from whom it had been stolen, appeared
and took it.
“ ‘An’ now he says he’s goin’ to beef
Rosy,’ she said, with another burst of
tears. ‘He says he guesses they’ll have
ODe good bait of fresh meat, anyhow. She
ain’t givin’ much; they don’t feed her
none, an’ they only hunt her up an’ milk
her when they want some milk.’ Well, it
was one thing or another till I began to
think the poor child would have to go
away, when they suddenly moderated their
requisition to such an extent that in seven
months she had in my hands upward of
$50, I wondered at this, hut soon came
upon the explanation.
“Huldy, our washwoman,you know, is a
thrifty soul, and she has been for years
saving money to buy a bit of land. She
makes herself a trifle unpopular among
the neighbors by bragging of this a little,
and posing as a capitalist; and she told
me one morning, with an incredulous
snort, that the Hedders had said to her as
she came by that they were going to buy
land, too, they were saving all of Ollie’s
money to buy with!
1 said nothing of this to Ollie, but
explained to her what would be
the necessary arrangement in such a
case, had Mr. Jackson to get himself ap
pointed her guardian, and buy the land—
a nice little piece of six acres down here
on the Emery—for her, from Mr. James.
It was for the family; they were to live
on it, aud have it, but she wanted it so the
old man couldn’t trade it away or be
cheated out of it, and I was determined
she should have it so.
But when they heard of it they were
furious. They came raving over and or
dered Ollie home. 1 told her she need not
go unless she wished; but she is a geutle
creature, you know, and she went. They
carried on shamefully: the old man swear
ing and threatening and Mrs. Redder
berating and abusing. They would sue
Mr. James, they said, for dealing with a
minor, and they made the child so misera
ble; she finally gave up, and agreed to do
anything they wanted. She met Mr.
Jackson over at Squire Buncombe’s office
and they fixed up a new deed in Mrs.
Hedder’s name, but Mrs. Jackson insisted
on having some restrictions oil the selling
of it included in the paper.
“O lie tojk it home, pitiful aud discour
aged, but thinking now there would at
least be peace.
“The next day she came here about
noon the most miserable looking little
creature you ever saw. She had tasted
nothing siuce the day before and had cried
pretty Vouch all the time, till her rouud
pink face was haggard and white, and her
hig blue eyes were red and swollen. I
made her a cup of coffee and got her fixed
up a little, and she told me bow tilings
were.
When she took the deed home her
mother met her and demanded to know
w hat she had none.
“ T ve had the deed !made out to you,’
said Ollie, ‘here it is.'
“ ‘What does it say, then? read it,’ said
the woman. Ollie read it, and the mo
ment the mother caught the first hint of a
restriction she snatched it from her hand
and screamed, ‘That’s the kin o’ paper ye
got me, is it! Well uo you know what I
do with such a paper?. I’ll show ye
That's what 1 do!' and she dashed it in
the tire.
“They had seol ed, abused and threat
ened her all the rest of the day, and she
was now come, as they had ordered her to
do, to have Mr. Jackson go and get the
deed made to her mother, without any re
striction, or better to bring them the $50
payment back if Mr. James was willing.
She was to fetch her clothes and belong
ings too, and Mrs. Redder said she’d have
no such doings; Ollie should be hired out
with the understanding that her wages
were to be paid directly to her mother.
“They said it was a scandal and
shame,’ said Ollie, ‘for a child to be own
ing land, and asking their parens to live on
it. They say I can have the same sheer
as any of the rest when they’re gone—the
same sheer as Lomy’s man that beats 1 e
and dont live with her half the lime, aim
never has earned a mouthful for her.
“ ‘It’ll all be eat up and wasted, I can’t
help them any, an’ I can’t help myself;
there ain’t any hope at all. I can see.’
She turned her despairing,childish face up
tome. •! really with I was dead,’said
she, ‘there ain’t no chance at all.’ J was
too exasperated; it was time something
was done. I went and packed up her
things, tidied her up and sent her with
Mr. Jackson acr ss to the rail
road in the w. gon. I gave 1 e
some money and a letter to a triend ot
mine in Kentucky, asking her to get Ollie
a good |>!aee in that State.
“I heard only once from my friend, say
ing Ollie had a nice place with an invalid
lady at some little resort. Mr. James re
ceived the remittances for the payment
on her piece of land—evidently forwarded
by her empioyer.
“Tue Red tiers were completely cowed.
They neva r said a word uor made a sign,
amt were vety glad to go an I live, on the
land, which was again Ollie’s, the old
deed standing since Mrs. Redder had de
stroyed the second one.
“Well, she was away more than a year. 1
never heard directly from her, though
Ollie can real anti write quite w< 11.
■When the company bought all this
land hereabout we, of course sold to them
as everybody else did and at a very good
price. Oilie’s little piece lay right in the
middle of their town site. They had eve-
thing all around it and wanted it. We
wrote to her and they wrote, but we never
got any answer. Finally the. company
sent a man up there and she came home
with him*
“You never saw a girl so improved. A
whole year free from nagging and worry,
passed amid refined and pleasant influ
ences, almost as the daughter of the house
—for any one must love Ollie that has
her about—had perfectly transformed her.
“Why didn’t you answer my letters?’
I Asked.
“ ‘Why, dear me, I never got any,’ said
she, then looking a little sheepish, ‘I never
went to the postoffice at all. I was afraid
Paw, or some of them, would be getting
somebody to write me a lot of letters to
come home, and ’twould make me so mis
erable, I just had Mr. James send them
some money every month and never went
to the post office at all.’
“Well, she got a big price for her six
acres of town lots—a little fortune it was
to her.
“Now, when she got all this money the
family would have made haste to assert
their claims, and get hold of it. But, in
stead of Ollie, they had a very manly and
forcible young man to deal with. He was
interested not so much in the property as in
Ollie, and he saw to it very effectually that
she was not robbed or molested.
‘I always had hoped the child might
marry well; but I could never have ex
pected anything so good as she has done.
While I don’t think him beyond what 01-
lie deserves, I was really surprised when
I saw him. Though from her own class,
he has acquired a good education, is in a
responsible position, and has a manner
and bearing that wonld command
your instant respect. I think
his and Olllie’s courtship was
mostly carried on over text-books, and
that much of her improvement was due to
his influence and help.
“They were married last Wednesday
here in the parlor. I’m sure there never
was a happpier creature than Ollie when
she left Harriman, with the old folks
peacefully located on a little farm, and
Joe beside her to hew out her future path
way in life. I looked at them, he big,
fine looking, full of force, energy and am
bition, endowed, and already fairly well
equipped; she good, sweet, bright,with her
share of brains, too, quick, intuitous, un
stinted .sweetness and natural charm, and
I thought they were tne very typical cou
ple that, here in our America, might well
reach any station.”

Who rules in this town ?
Depends on the question up.
The lamp-chimney ques
tion—what sort do you break ?
Whatever sort your dealer
deals in.
How, do you think, he
selects his chimneys ?
He buys those that cost him
least; he can get the regular
price for them; and the faster
they break the more he sells.
That’s how he reasons.
1 fell him you want Mac
beth’s “pearl top” or “pearl
glass, ” tough glass, transpar
ent, clear, not foggy, fine, of
right shape and uniform. Tell
him you’ll pay him a nickel
more a piece, and that will
cover his extra costs twice
over. Tell him you don’t pro
pose to break any more. Try
your hand at ruling.

Truthful advertising, though a trifle slow in its results, hardly ever fails to get'
uiere. It inspires that confidence between buyer and seller so essential to snecess. It
is not, as you are aware, a marketable commodity. If it were, knaves and tricksters
would grow rich. Though only a short time before the public, our trade is growing
laiger day by day, and we attribute it to the fact of sticking to the truth and never
advertising goods we have not got. We want your trade this week. Cold weather
calls for warmer covering indoors and out. We will make it tout interest to buy of us.

sary to dispose of them.
New Velvets, in colors and black; Gimps,
Galoons, and everything necessary for a
dress.
We are not doing a lump trade on Dress
Goods by selling them at so much a suit,
as we think the intelligence of the present
age too far advanced for snch methods of
doing business. We think the ladies of
Columbus are as capable of doing their
own thinking as well as their sisters in
oner cities, and we know this pract ice is
not caaried on elsewhere. Besides, by this
method, what would make a dress for a
small lady would hardly make a patch of
one for a lady twice her size. Ladies, give
this matter a little serious thought, and
we know you will say we are right.
Don’t Fail to Call on Us This Week. We Will Treat Your,
Well and Save You Money,
