Mr. Riley White has another big
crop of watermelons. Three weeks
ago when there was so much rain,
he said he didn’t expect much of a

seems that was mistaken, judg

to town. “Uncle Riley” is hard to
beat on watermelon and insh po
tato raising.

Has been extremely ill for the past
six weeks at her home on W. Broad

PETTY SWINDLING.
Queer Ways In Which New York’s Big
Stores Are Defrauded.
“It is an almost incredible thing,”
said a man from one of the big
stores recently, “how often seem
ingly honest people give way to
temptation and commit what are
comparatively small breaches and
yet certainly are transgressions
against honojty.
“Me have had three instances of
it during the past week. One lady,
a regular customer of ours, had
charged to her account a brass ket
tle costing about $7. The delivery
man made a mistake and took it to
the wrong apartment, and the lady
there, a neighbor and acquaintance
of our customer, received the pack
age and kept it. She does not deny
it, but simply refuses to give the
kettle up. She says the mistake
was not hers, and she sees no reason
why she should right it. Os course
we had to right it with our cus
tomer.
“Another woman, also an old cus
tomer, had some expensive draperies
sent to her house on Saturday. The
Monday following our man went up
to see about the hanging of them,
and she told him she had decided
not to take them. When the hang
ings were returned to us they show
ed unmistakable signs of having
been used and even slightly injured.
The papers described that woman as
having gi\m a big entertainment on
that particular Sunday, and the de
duction is easy to make.
“Still another woman ordered
from our ready to wear suit depart
ment a handsome black coat, which
happened to fit her without altera
tion. It was delivered one day and
returned the next. When examined,
it was found to have been worn, and
worn hard, too, as there were
splotches of mud on the bottom
edges. We had reason to believe
that woman had been obliged to at
tend a funeral and took that meth
od of avoiding the purchase of a
black garment.
“When such unscrupulous persons
chance to be old customers we usual
ly have no redress at all.” —New
York Press.
Absentmindedness.
The best instance I know is that
of an amiable Irish judge, now no
longer on the bench. Among other
amusing tales told of him it is said
that on the occasion of a “bar din
ner” he went upstairs to dress, but
did not reappear. The company sat
patiently for some time till at
length, just as their hunger was get
ting the better of their manners and
an emissary was being dispatched to
hunt up the missing judge, his lord
ship appeared and explained, with
many apologies, that, imagining he
was retiring for the night, he had
undressed and got into bed. After
an hour’s snooze it suddenly struck
him that he had not yet dined, on
which he hurried down to his guests.
—London Spectator.
Queen Victoria’s Wit.
In a biography of Leech, the
painter, who at. one time acted as
drawing master to Queen Victoria,
Mr. W. P. Frith relates an amusing
story, illustrating her majesty’s wit.
One day in the course of a lesson
the queen let her pencil fall to the
ground. Both master and pupil
stooped at the same moment to pick
it up, when, to the horror of Leech,
there was a collision, the master’s
head striking that of his royal pupil.
Before he could stammer out an
apology, how’ever, the queen, smil
ing, said:
“Well, Mr. Leech, if we bring our
heads together in this way I ought
to improve rapidly.”
Reciprocity.
As the desire to give advice to all
persons and upon all occasions
seems to be natural to most human
beings, the following story told of
a well known woman writer may not
be without interest: While speaking
at a working girls’ club a 'writer of
successfdMnovels asked the members
how muc* they earned and advised
them to put aside a certain amount
ekch week 1 from their wages. A few
nights latqr the novelist’s doorbell
rang, and one of the members of
the club presented herself. She had
come to ask what the income of her
late adviser was and to suggest what
percentage of the same ought to be
put in the bank.
The Innocent Bottle.
By the side of a certain portion of
a suburban railway stands a glue
factory which sometimes gives out a
particularly offensive smell. A lady
who was obliged to travel on this
line quite often always carried with
her a bottle of lavender salts. One
morning an old farmer took the seat
beside her. As the train neared the
factory the lady opened her bottle
of salts. Soon the whole car was
filled with the horrible odor of the
glue. The old farmer put up with
it as long as he could. Then he
shouted, “Madam, would you mind
puttin’ the cork in that ’ere bottle ?”

is hoped that she may decide to

The third lin above describes the peo
ple of Gainesville. We have fine cli
mate, invigorating air, pure water, and
everything conducive to health.
The city of Gainesville has all in the
way of modern conveniences that the
large cities have—water works, sewers,
electric lights, electric cars, a fine pub
lic school, a big female college, and va
rious large manufactories.
The year just past has been somewhat
quiet, but the people of this section are
in good shape, all making money (or
nearly all.) The election is over, and
we are getting hard down to business.
Real estate is valuable here and will
become more so, the number of transac
tions is increasing, and the man of fore
sight will buy before values increase
very much. I have almost every kind
of property in real estate that any one
may need—store lots, residences, build
ing lots, farms, tenement houses, and
some mineral lands.
I have a good many inquiries for
farms, and would like to add more farms
to my list. I have been in the business
a long time. I know the people and the
properties well; have sold for a great
many, and to a great many, and refer
you to those of my customers who are
satisfied with what I have done. I in
vite all who have property to sell to list
it with me, and all who want to buy
to let me show them what I have
I can benefit both. No sale, no charge.

GENTLEMENI have been troubled with what the doctors said was
stomach disorders for more than five years. I also had terrible pains in
my back and head. At times i suffered so that I feared I was going crazy.
I lost all desire to live, and could not work, eat or sleep with any degree
of satisfaction.
My family insisted that I should try Payne’s New Discovery and I bought

fifty feet in length passed from my system. Already I feel better and I
