An Interesting Recital of the “Sights,” “Just walk in, sister Polly, and I'll tell you all about Josiah and me going to town. Guess you have heard about it though, for it has been the neighborhood talk since we got back; naturally so, too. You see, Josiah and I had been laying off first pretty day ‘ when we could open the potato bed, to carry | along aload of potatoes, eggs, butter and such like; so, when the sun had fairly got up, we were trotting along several miles on our way. As luck would have it, (you needn’t tell me there's nufliiug in luek), we drove right ul') ;'fn fr(nnfv()f:b.'::f'(;re. where we could see goods all piled up, and soon as Josiah could hitch old Selim, we marched right in; not in either, till we had taken a good look at the things heaped up in the windows. I saysto Josiah in a minute: ‘This is the very place, for there was every thing—Glasslamps, (we had kinder promis ed one to our Jane), Sunday Shoes, Work ing Shoes, Apples, Oranges, Raisins, Cur rants, (you know, I always was some on cur rant pudding,) but I can’t begin to tell you what was in the windows even. They asked us in and we walked down one side of that store and just took in—there was Tobacco, Cigars, Pipes, Smla,. Baking Powders, Per fumery, Tea, Sacks of Coffee, whole Cheese, Boxes of Crackers, Boxes of Soap, and then in the middle was tins, all kinds of Coffee Pots.

Nouse going to Atlanta or John Keely's. We then walked over on the other side of the store, and there was Crockery, all kinds and sizes of Plates, Cups and Saucers, white and them old time like my old mother use to have in our old corner cup-board. Then they have what they call a chamber set, bowl and pitchers, tooth brush holder, soap slab, mug, and such piles of Boots and Shoes. Well, we looked around, and I sayssorter aside, We'll see what we can do out in town. So Josiah says to the man standing by the store, ‘We will see what we can do,’ but you needn’t think it took uslong to take in the situation, and after walking around the park and pricing around, we went back to where we had hitched old Selsm, and there sold our pro duce, got the money forit, and set in and bought everything right there, and so would 1 you have did the same thing, for there was 1 everything we wanted, Flour, Corn, Bacon, | Hams, Sugar, barrels of it, and Syrup of all kinds. They had jrst been unloading t:wo car loads of Timothy Hay; such piles of Bran. Well, I reckon we was the best pleased old couple you ever saw start home. Shoes and Hats for all the boys, not only the Lamp we had promised our Jane, but one for the boys, as we got both at what we ex pected to pay for one; but I ain't took time to tell you what store it was, but you must have guessed it was I): F. McCrareuy's, You know how he is always talking so much in the Jour~Nau, yet he don'ttell half, Well, nobody could in one column of a newspaper, but you and your old man had better go and lookout for yourselves, and if you ain't more than pleased, I'll give it up.” DON'T FORGET THE PLACE!
