Douglas New South: There is a haunted
house down near the line of Coweta and Car
roll which is the most mysterious place on
earth. What is heard and seen around this
old building woild make the hair sand on

wonderful experience last night, but owing to
lack of space and the rush of work we cannot
give it to our readers this issue, but we will
have a full rejiort m the next.
Waynes oro True Citizen: We are gratified
to tea le to inform our readers that the city
council has decided on the location for the
new academy, and that the titles for the lot
have been s gned. It will be located corner
Stone and Miadra -h streets. Work will be
commenced Oct. 1. The building will be of
brick, with slate roof. It will contain five
class rooms and one reception or exhibition
hall. The drawings and specifications show
a commodious and handsome building.
Lieut. Bell of Dawson Guards, who
stood an examination before the examining
board of the Fourth regiment, at 'ihomas
ville. a few days ago. made the l>est record
ever made before this board, and it is
doubted if it has ever been equalled in the
state He made an even luO v which is the
highest possible for him to have made. The
Dawson Guards should be. and we have no
doubt are, proud of Lieut. Bell and his
record. He should certainly feel proud of
the highly creditable examination which he
stood.
Rome will surely have that machine gun -
a Gatling gun or a Hotchkiss. A Tribune
man saw Col. J. C. Printup Saturday, and
was told that there was no doubt about the
organization of the platoon and securing of
the gun. '‘What 1 want,” said Col. Printup,
•is sixteen of the right sort of young men. 1
don’t think there is any doubt about easily
getting up this number and 1 want them to
be the very best. 1 had a talk with Lieut.
Satterlee tbe other day. and he thinks he can
get us a Hotchkiss ra:*td fire gun in a shoft
time. He prefers that gun to the kind Atlanta
and Savannah have.
Rome Tribune: Many Romans have no
ticed the big Equitable building in Atlanta,
and have admired the buff brick out or

brick have been made and they are' beauties.
H. H. McClure says they cannot be excelled
anywhere on any test. He has samples of
the brick on Fast First street. This com
pany is one of the host known manufacturers
of brick m the country and the superiority
of the brick made here s recognized. Nearly

WHY MARRIAGES WERE OFF.
Stories About Broken Engag-ents from
Experience of an English Parson.
From the Springfield Republican.
The columns of the rgtndon Morning
Post frequently contain notices of which
the following may he considered a fair
type: "The marriage arranged between
Sir Carnaby Jenks and i.ady Sophia litz
Tudor will not take plate.” It may be
taken for granted that in most cases a
valid reason for the shattering of the ro
mance exists ; but what are we to say of
the young lady who broke off her engage
ment because her lover insisted on part
ing his hair in the middle; or of the lover
wito, a few weeks ago, discarded his ina
morata, because she adopted the so-called’
"rational dross" when cycling? Both
cases have occurred within my own expe
rience.
A few months since, a very smart society
giri refused her somewhat countrified
lover at the altar because he turned up
for the occasion in badly fitting clothes!
It must be admitted that the young feilow
compared very unfavorably with the dash
ing cavalry captain, who was his best
man: nor was the attractiveness of his
appearance enhanced by a brilliantly red
necktie, which had managed to get loose
above his collar. I fancy, however, that
the young lady had no great regard for
her country squire. She has sitice mar
ried the gallant captain.
A fortune-hunting young barrister of
my acquaintance sneaked out of his en
gagement in the shabbiest manner pos
sible when he discovered that his fiance’s
money was invested in gold mine shares
that were at the time going down in value
very rapidly. Since then the shares have
gone up in the most satisfactory maimer,
and, while the young lady is richer than
ever, my learned friend is haunting petty
sessions in a vain endeavor to earn a "liv
ing wage.”
Nothing is so hostile to romance as ridi
cule. The truth was strikingly illus
trated in the case of a college friend of
my own. He was a good-looking young
follow, but had, unfortunately, been
gifted by nature with a large and red
pair of ears which stood out from his
head in a distressing fashion. Hissweet
lieart's young brothers chaffed her un
mercifully about this peculiarity of her
lover's. They compared his ears to Chi
nese fans, and talked up some prejioster
ous story of one of the old travelers about
an African race whose ears were so large
that they used to wrap themselves up in
them during inclement weather. They
insinuated that their sister's lover was
the sole surviving member of that race.
Absurd as it may seem, their foolish talk
resulted in a broken engagement.
Some years ago I was acting as curate
in a large London parish. Two young
people in whom 1 was greatly interested
were to bo married on a certain Wednes
day in April. Contrary to custom the
bride arrived before the bridegroom—in
deed, the bridegroom never arrived at
all!
it subsequently transpired that the
bridegroom had disappeared the previous
evening, and was nowhere to be found.
He has not been found to this day. No
cause for his disappearance was over as
signed. nor has any clew to his where
abouts ever been discovered. The poor
young bride succumbed to the shock, and
it was my melancholy duty to officiate at
her burial some weeks later.
One more case, and i have done. A
curate in the receipt ol little more than
lUO pounds sterling a year, proposed to
the daughter of a w ealthy north country
manufacturer, and was accepted. Pater
familias was extremely angry at this, and
forbade the young fellow his house,. Can
dor compels me to state that thedaughier
offered very little resistance to her
father’s objections, and tho curate, who
was genuinely fond of the girl, removed
to a distant parish.
Two months after this event he fell into
a baronetcy and rather more than a.OOO
pounds sterling a year The manufacturer
saw that he hail made a mistake, and
opetied up negotiations in a letter. By re
turn ho received a telegram with the la
conic intimation: “Too late.” We may be
certain that the good manufacturer's wife
gave him it large “piece of her mind,” as
the saying goes.
A Pickle Explosion.
A peculiar accident occurred Thursday 1
at a pickle factory at South Deerfield. A
big pickle tank exploded, scattering de- .
vast ation all around. 'There came a sharp
report icaused by the sharp vinegar), and
then kil.uuo gallons of pickles were dis
tributed broadcast. To make these 22,-
(Kl gallons required 1,700,000 cucumbers
and two carloads of salt. Tho umouut of
sunshine thus distributed has not yet
been estimated. It seems that the iron
hoops on the tank burst, and they won’t
have to mix pickles there for a long time.
Indeed, the employes ure too busy pick
ing the chow-chow out of the backs of
their necks. \V ith customary ill luck the
tank was full when It "went up.” In
fact, the 1,700.0011 pickles were wrecked
because an attempt was made to put on
one pickle too much. Dickies are not like
rose leaves. Copious tears and other
brine were shed by the barrel, and the
ceiling of the mill was inlaid with gher
kins.—Boston Transcript.

An American Palace^
the massive mansion of Mr. George W. Vanderbilt, now being erected upon his vast estate

lor the mind to picture the grandeur ot
This Lordly Castle,
to which the limitless wealth and culture of its owner, with the taste and talent of the mosf
eminent artists and architects, are being devoted. Its exterior dimensions are 375x192
teat, and it is situated upon an esplanade 700x300 lest, artificially leveled by cutting down
the summit of the hilt upon which the Palace is being erected. The wondrous building
will contain ' *
Over One Hundred
Rooms.
The ceiling of lhe brnquei hall will be 65 feel In high!, the library will bo larger than many
churches, and the sione stairways might permit a regiment to pass without breaking ranks.
The carvings and ornamentation, in wood and Slone, in onyx and bronze, completely baffle
description by their dazzling splendor.
One Hundred Thous
and Acres
of landed properly, laid out in walks and drives, in glowing floral beds and embankments,
in deer parks and game preserves, will surround this dreamland palace, to complete which,
with all its accessories, will require an expenditure of
