“Say, stranger, kin I git a fight
in yere?" he asked looking cau
tiously around and wetting his
hands in a premonitory sort of
way.
“What kind of a fight would
you like?" asked the bar-keeper,
eyeing him gloomily.
“Pistols, knife, tooth, anything.
I want to live up to the prevail
in style. Suit yourself, pard
ner.”
“Well,” observed the host,
picking up a base ball bat, “how’ll
this suit you? Liko to try some
thing in this line?"
“Haven’t yor got a sword or a
cleaver, or a buz* ,aw, or some
thing that yor can realy onto if
wo git close togethor? Ain’t
there some weapon that goes
more into the gore business?"
“This will do mo," replied the
bar-koeper waltzing over the bar
and slamming the pugnacious
visitor against the wall. “Don’t
ueod anything better than this,"
and he banged him across a boor
table. “Got enough?”
“I ain't got started yit,” said
Iho stranger, as be lifted 'he bar
keeper over the stove. “Don’t
git impatient. I'll wurra up in a
second,” and he hoisted his an
tagonist over the bar. “Jist in

danced a hornpipe on his foe and
then pitched him through the
buck door. “Now I’m feeling
the inspiration! Whoop!” and
he kicked his enemy under the
porch. “Hi, stranger! Ain’t
this frail? Talk about spring
vegetables! What's lamb and
peas to this?" and he fired the
nnhappy bar-koeper down cellar.
“What ’ was your object iu
wanting to fight me?" asked the
Wollopod bar-keeper, as lie crawl
ed out and set the bottle and
glass on the counter.
"Yer see, pardner,” said tho
stranger, filling a glass to the
brim, and holding it betweon bis
eyes and the light, Vyer see, I’ve
only been married a month, and
I haven’t been borne for a week,
and 1 wanted to be warmed np
into trim for the matinee.
There’s four bar rooms twizt

Next time you visit a bulbing
resort, suys a lady contributor of
the Han Francisco Chronicle,
look at the doaens of different
limbs splashing around, and you
will realize that to properly study
tho stocking question you
should begin it the watering
place.
When Miss Slimshanks goes
in bathing she wears ringed
stockings. That is not because
sbe is a bell, but because those
kind make her legs look larger.
Longitudinal stripes, on tbe
contrary, are tbe especial proper
ty of women of forty, who are
fair and fat; and streaked and
speckled hose are generally worn
by tb ise who do not understand
tbe real power of a pretty leg.
The girl with a real pretty
limb incasca it in a plain tint—
flesh, rose or light bine. That
shows the fall contour and out
line against tbe water back
ground.
The same rule that applies to
bathing custom and costumes ap
plies to every day life. For this
reason: A girl,'when she bathes,
dresses her legs for show. Ho
THOMSON, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST ft, 18S2.
she does hi ordinary everyday
life. The only difference is that
in one she shows it, and is the
other she don’t. Bnt accidents
will happen, and most women
like being prepared for them.
A girl who wears black stock*
ings is either decidedly wicked
or so old that she knows her lege
are not of intorest to aa observ
ing public.
Plain white arc the most se
ductive. A glimps of a dainty
black boot capped by a few in
ches of snowy stocking vanish
ing amid mysterious and rust
ling messes of whitest skirting
more enthralls men than the
glance of a flirting eye or the trem
or of tho ruby lip.
Neglected wives, lot mo give
you a point: Encase yourself in
a dainty wrapper, and leave it
open six inches at the bottom, so
you can show your feet. Put on
a pretty, low cut slippor, and
spend more taste upon tho stock
ings you wear than you do upon
the ribbons on your hair.
Show these same feet unosten
tatiously, in fact bashfully, to the
lord of tho house; keep them be
fore his eyes; dross yourself so ou
every opportunity, and keep it
up, and then, mark my words, no
other woman can over touch his
fickle heart.
When poets like Swinburne,
Tennyson and Oscar Wildo sing
about kissing the ‘dainty, soft,
whilo foot,' of tho toomau they
love, they botray theirses. Men
liko pretty feet and logs, and will

Stopped his Paper.
Nowadays when a subscriber
gets so mad beeauso an editor
differs with him on some trival
question ihnt he disoohtinuos his
papei, we remind him of tho lute
Horace Greeley, tbe well known
editor of the Now York Tribune.
Passing down Newspaper row,
in New York City one morning,
he met one of his readers, who
exulsfmetj:
{“Mrs, Ctveeley aft'en the article
ycjf’ published this morning t > I In
tend to stop your paper.”
“Oh, no," said Mr. Grooley,
“don,t do that."
“Yes, sir my mind is made up.
I shall step the paper."
Tho angry subseriber was not
to bo appeased, so tboy separated.
Latointbo afternoon they met
again, when Mr. Greeley re
marked:
“Mr. Thompson, I am very
glad you did not carry out your
threat this morning.”
“What do you mean?”
“Why, you said you were go
ing to stop my paper.”
“And so I did. I went to the
office and had the'papor stopped.”
“You aro surely mistaken; I
have just come from there and
all the presses were running
and bosinoss was booming."
“Sir," said Thompson very
pompously, “I uient I intended to
stop my subscription to your
paper.”
“Oh! thunder!” rejoined Gree
ley; I thought you wore going to
stop the running of my paper,
and knock me out of a living.
My friend, let me tell you some
thing: One man is just one drop
of water in the ocean. You
didn't set tiie machinery of this
world in motion, and you can’t
stop it; and when you are under
neath the ground things upon
the surface will wag on ',ho same
as ever.”
Hooping a Barrel.
Putting a hoop on tho family
flour barrel is an operation that
will hardly boar an encore. Tbe
woman generally attempt* it be
fore tbe man comes borne to din
ner. Sbe sets the hoop up on tho
end of tho staves, takes a delib
erate aim with the rolling pin,
and then shutting both eyes,
brings the pin down with all tbo
force of one arm, while tbo oth
er ono instinctively shields her
face. Then sbe makes a dive for
tbe camphor and unbleached
muslin, and when the man comes
home she is sitting back of tbe
stove, thinking of St. Stephen
and tbe other martyrs, while a
burnt dinner and tbe campbar
are struggling for tbe mastery.
He says that if she bad hot kept
her temper she wouldn’t have
g t hurt. And be vieits the bar
rel himself and puts the hoop on
very carefully and then adjusts
it so nicely to tho top of every
stave that only a few smart raps
appearantly are needed to bring
it down all right. And then he
laughs to himself to think wbat
a fuss his wife kioked np for a
simple matter that only needed
a Uttlc patience to adjust itself;
then he gets the hammer and
gives the hocp a smart mp on
one side, and the other flies up
and Cfltches him on the nose,
filling bis soi(l with wrath and
his eyes with tears, and the next
minute the barrel is dying across
the room, avoompanied by the
mother candidate

A red oak tree, with a base
diamolcr of at least three awd
one half f‘‘ot, was recently out
from the farm of Sam Evans,
nsr Bethel, and sawed into lum
ber. While one of the plauks
was being unloaded at J. B. Tip

ed what he thought to be a knot
in it, and begun to pick at it
with his knife. The supposed
knot provo i to be a perfectly
sound dogwood peg, which when
removed, ceveulcd a lock of red
hair. The hole had been bored
about fivo feet from the ground
with a three inch augur, the look
of heir placed in it, and tho pin
driven in and nicely smoothed
off. From tho outer end of tho
pin—when tho tree iu its oven
pace with time had closed over
it—to tho bark were oounted
215 growths, not including tho
sap, whioh is supposed to repre

the tree. Each one of these 216
represents a year. Adding this
