Thompson, seventy-one years of age, who returned to Savannah a month ago after forty-seven years’ absence to find his wife married to another man, again left his former place of his abode, his life would have been very much like that of Enoch Arden in the poem by that name by Tennyson. But the elapse of years had made a difference with this man’s feelings toward his first wife and he, tco, had chosen another mate for the remainder of his life. The second marriage of Mr. Thomp son was the result of a renewal of a childhood courtship which had been broken off by the misfortunes of war. The courtship was renewed upon his return to Savannah, and he was married to Mrs. Anna Wil son. But another question has been brought out by the marriage which may result seriously for the old man. According to the laws of Georgia the second marriage of the man is not legal, and his wife, although married to another man, is living at Blitchton, Ga. He announced the fact that she was living when he returned to Savannah. The second marriage of his wife is legal, as the contract was made under the belief that her husband was dead. In the case of the man, however, it is ille gal and he is liable for prosecution for bigamy, according to Solicitor- General W. G. Hartridge.” The grand jury may take some cognizance of this case at the next meeting. $lOOO,OO profits given away to our customers . for cash only on Monday of each week, for we agree to sell vou our big stock of shoes at and below actual first cost.

Tommy sat upon the fence watching the pigs as they scrambled for the corn which his aunt was ¢iving them. His face was puckered into a discontented frown as be figitted uneasily on the fence finally he said, Aunt Margeret is there any such things as ghost~#” His aunt turned upon him sharply and replied, ‘‘Naw» boy who has been putting such stuff in your head?” “Old Aunt Mandy,” be answered with & startled expression on his young face. *Well, drawled his annt, that old busy body simply lied.”” Saying this she picked up: ber bucket and went into the house leaving Tommy to think ever " what she. had just told him. - o i T While he sat there musing Johnny Rowell came along slinging s tin bucket in his hands at some stray weeds which grew _ on. the read: side, finnally he spied Tommy ' sitting *discontently on the fence, ‘“‘Hey old man what your doing, counting the lice on them brut.es{ ¢“Naw I ain’t John Rowells” he replied coolly. ** Well don’t fly oft the hinges about it I was just joking,” said the mischief maker as he crawled up beside Tommy who had pulled bis hat very low over his eves to prevent Johnny seeing them. A : “Well Tom, said John who was bound for some kind of conver sation, have you ever been through them woods at sunset? ‘‘Well if you aint, as he noticed the indifference of his companion, you shore better not ‘‘cause if yer don’s want to get killed or skeered mouty bad, you better take my pervice” he said trying to look wise. ‘‘Pshaw said Tommy, aunt Margret said there were no such things as ghosts.” “Well your aunt Margeret don’t know everything no more than I do, but one thing I do know I sho’re saw a great big white duck one time and it didu’t have no sign of a head, no hit shore didn’t. Saying this he serambled off the fence for he saw his mother in the distance and knew that he would not receive much mercy from that individual if he was seen loitcring by the way-side, After Johnny’s abrunt departure Tommy sat trying not to be lieve what Johrny had said, But being of a superstitious nature and having heard of several murders being committed at the said place he was half inclined to believe what he had heard in spite of his aunts warning. b Just a few minutes after Johnny’s departure Silas the hired man came along in a wagon on his way to town and seeing Tommy called out, “Tom your mother wants you to come home immediately as she is afraid to stay hy herself tonight and your Pa can’t be home until late.” So saying he gave the horse a strike with the whip and was soon out of sight. “Yes and I have got to go through those woods too,” he thought, A kind of fear gripped at his heart but of course be must go home, But frightfu! thoughts would pass across his mind instead of all the courage he imagined that he possessed. sk o Lo “Tommy if vour afraid to go home by yourself I’ll go with you,” whispered Nannie twining her soft white arms around his neck., *‘No, No. excliimed Tommy pushing her from him, ’m not afraid, whas ws there to be nfraid of I should like to know?” And with a proua ur Lo stoode off down the road. Tommy was only eight years old it only ehild of an affectionate father and mother, 'The Sun was fust setiing throwiog golden lights over the landscape, Tommy rea lized that at this time the ghost was supposed te make his appearance. “‘Wonder how is the best way to get threugh that swamp,” he mused. Then his face brightened asif a new thought nad struck him. “Yes I shall just close my-eyes real tight and then I'il not see any ghost if there should be one.” Tommy’s beantiful mother sat in the parlor working on some em broidery ond was the picture of distress. Opposite her sat old aunt Mandy with a large bundle of newly washed clothes.” Can’t imagiue what is keeping Tommy aunt Mandy, can you!” “I am really alarm ed as his long absence. He should have been here an hour ago” said Mrs. Marshall looking down the road in the direction which Le was to come* Her lovely brown eyes were fast filling with tears. *‘Now Misses you jert bhol’ on I’ll hunt dat chile and P’ll fetch bim mouty quick too,” hastened the old negro as she felt to malke sure ber red bandanna handerchief was fitted properly on her wooly locks. ““Oh 1 sure wish you would aunt Mandy, Sobbed pretty Mrs. Marshall, «“Now Misses you jest hush up dat crying ’cause ole Mandy neber did fail in any thing she undertook, and I’se gwine to bring dat chile,” said the large old negro as she put the enormous bundle of clothes on her head, Mrs. Marshall sat with moist eyes watching the old negroes progress. Old sunt Mandy picked her way carefully over rocks on the road, as she hastened on ber wav. ‘Dot Tommy ought to be spanked dats what he ought, causing all diss ‘sturbance,” muttered the old lady as she journeyed on her way. By this time she was pearing the swamp. ““Now I don’t ’zaetly. lak to go shrough das swamp but I’se done and tole Missis I would sarch tor dat youngur and now I’se got hit to do, “‘said aunt Mandy to herself as she con tinued to hurry on betore it grew very dark, ‘“Now I jes’ don’t lak to oo through swamps wid my eyes wide open so'1" am gwine to snet ;::m.” Saying this she put her words mto action, but her progress was very slow indeed ‘Dese closes'is shore gitting heaby,” she took her long bony arma from the clothes which seemed to represent a mountain over ber head. . 4 . At that moment a sbarp blow struck her in the abdomen, send ing her sprawling in the middle of the road. The clothes were falling in every direction, She presented a frightful picture indeed. “For de Lawds sake! What wuz dat?’ exclaimed aunt Mandy as she scrambled to her lknees in time to see 2 little boy ranning with al his might. “Oh! good Lawd please sabe old Mandy Ise been a mouty good niggah and D’ll shore be a better one ef you will jest sahe me dis time,’’ prayed the old negro, Truth. finally dawned on the old negro and the began hunting her clothes which were strewn all over the road, ‘“Hit wuz Toumy, ‘dats ‘zactly who hit wuz.,” ‘‘He ought to be shame er his self upsetting a respectful colored woman lak I is.” “His Ma show ought to spank dat boy tell he is blistered,” In about fifteen minutes all the clothes were picked up and she started home. By this time Tommy bad reached home and was completely out of breath. Mrs. Marshall was crving and asking questions between tears. Tommy was talking 2xcitedly bis big eyes shining as he went on with his parrative, ‘- Yes Mamma a ghost came very near getting me I just had to scramble out of its arms,” he was saying as old aunt Mandy came hobbling up to join in the conversation, LronNeE DELORAINE, ANNOUNCEMENT.
