Aunt Becky’s Beau.
Aunt Beck}-, who has not a
nephew or niece in the world, hart
is aunt to everybody, preened me
so hard that I remained over New
Year's day at her house. Ann!
Becky is the woman who was pres
ent on salary the morning I was
hotn, and who blew in my faee
and helped me to catch the breath
that I didn't know how to catch
alone; so I feel that there was
some truth in the yarns they used
to tell me about Aunt Becky be
ing my “other mother.” Sire re
mained at our house so long that
I had begun to toddle and knew
how to feel deeply grieved when
she went away to be married to
Duncan Boggs, the well to do
Tamarack farmer, who was killed
l.y a threshing machine the next
summer.
Yesterday, as we sat by her
warm fire eating doughnuts and
drinking tea. there came a rap at
the door. Bobby, a bright tail
whom Aunt Becky adopted from
a foundlings' home some seven nr
eight years ago, ran to the win
dow anti peeped out.
“It’a Deacon Pudson,” said the
Imy, loud enough, 1 am sure, for
the deacon to hear if his ears had
not Itccn mu filed ia a long, croch
eted tippet that went round his
seek and over bis head nobody
dare guess bow many times.
When Aunt Becky went to the
door to let the deacon in. Bolihy
ran up to me and whispered,
“That's rr a’s l esu.”
1 had met the deacon before. lie
has been Aunt Becky's-beau for
some ten years now, and I have
met him at her house on the occa
sion of cacti of my annual visits
Moreover I have often thought
Aunt Becky would like to marry
him K he only had spunk enough
to ask her about it.
Deacon I'odson is a tall man.
with shoulders as round as Atlas,
and perhaps from a somewhat
similar cause, since the affairs of
Tamarack, which amount in his
estimation to a whole world of af
fairs, rest mainly on him. He is
chairman of the village board, one
of the school directors, chief pii
lar of the church, and master of
ceremonies at all times and in all
places. I don't wonder that he is
round shouldered. For five years,
to my knowledge, he has been
“nigh onto sixty,” which leads
me to believe that lie is not far
from Dial age, either one side or
tiie other of it. As he came into j
the room he began to unroll
unravel and untwist the long lip-
l>et from his neck, speaking not a
word. Then he took ofT his nut-
aide coat and laid it, all snowy,
over the coal box in tbe corner.—
Presently he hapj>cncd to think
to take ofT his hat, and lie held it
in his hand as he said:
“How d’ you do?"
“How d’ you do?" said Aunt
Becky.
Uncle Ben is here," said little
Bobby, calling the deacon's atteu
tion to me.
How d’y do! - ’ said the deacon,
standing with his hat in bis hand,
and looking like a great hulk of a
it's New Year's «tay, do you, Ben
ny-?” said Aunt Becky.
“Well/’ said I, with a pretty
good imitation of surprise and
shame, “that'a so. I declare 1
came near playing checkers, never
once thinking it was near New
Year's day.” How I lied! Only
I didn't know that cbeckera were
tabooed on such occasions in
Tamarack or I should never have
suggested the game.
“We can play dominoes, though,
can’t we. Uncle Ben?"’
I wasn't dead sure whether
dominoes -Were in the prescribed
list, so I pretended not to bear
Bobby. j •
-Ma, «]ominocs are all right,
ain't they?”
“Yes; you can play dominoes,
of course,” said Aunt Becky.
“Dominoes!” I echoed, as if I
hail just caught Bobby's question.
Oh, yes: dominoes are all right.
So Bobby and I went to the
kitchcu, and as I passed through
the door I left it open a little, for
1 was resolved to sec how a wid
ower of sixty and » widow of fifty
odd would make love after ten
years of courtship. I drew the
tilde near the door, where I could
hear and see what was going on
in the silting room, and Bobby
brought out the harmless domi
noes. I made so many errors that
tbe little fellow bad no (rouble in
lieating me, which made him hap
py to continue, an I so served my
plir|NMC.
Deacon Pod son sat there twirl
ing his hat aud looking into the
fire. Aunt Becky leaned back
comfortably in her chair and look
ed at the ceiling. Not a word was
spoken for a long, long time.
Presently Aunt Becky began to
rock back aud forth and hum
good old “Coronation'’ softly ami
slowly, and, after a few measures.
Deacon Podson broke in with his
cracked bass, out of tunc and out
of time, but somehow, alter all, in
pleasing harmony. For a long
time they sat and hummed that
simple old tune, the thumping of
Aunt Becky’s loose rocker mark
ing the time, her voice creaking
and scraping over the high
notes, but her heart full of the
sweet, peaceful music. 1 thought
she ought to be married, and that
Deacon Podson ought always to
stay right there and blunder his
bass notes in, rough though they
were, to give tonic to Aunt Becky's
weaker tones.
| Time sjieil along as the two old
nd lovers sat and sang, yet the Dea
con, who had come only to wish a
happy New Year, made no sign of
going. The sun had traveled
quarter round the bouse just to
get a peep in at tbe little west
window and see this comfortable
old couple, and the sight was
worth all the trouble of subduing
the snow storm for the purpose.
Then, when the sun had dodged
behind the leafless orchard and
finally hidden his big, red face
behind thg little knoll where sleep
the dead of Tamarack, the scene
became even more peaceful. The
warm glow of the fire filled the
room with lovers’ light, and 1 saw
“She was to lovin’ like and
good!” said the dear old woman,
without * shade of that jealouay
which ah riveted the heartless com
plimeals oCyauager women under
such conditions.
“Yes, Sister Boggs, she was—”
“Call aw Becky, Deacon Pod-
son.”
“An’ yon'll call me Josh?”
“Yes, J J Joshua.” and I know
Anut Becky put her gingham
apron up to her face. Ten years
of courtship, and 1 doubt not this
was the first time she had address
ed him by his Christian name. 1
thought surely the deacon would
see liis chance and throw both
arms around her neck, fold her to
his big breast and say: “My
liecky, my own. my own Becky.”
That is about what I should hare
done, but Deacon Podson is older
than I, and has passed the gush
ing point ol life.
“I hev been a-thinkilr abont
somethin’ a big, long time. Sister
Bo—that is, B Beck y. I’ve been
lliinkm' that-—”
What on earth could the man
be waiting for? Had lie fainted?
had his tongue heeo paralyzed by
tbe burden thrown upon il? I
strained my ear, but could catch
no sonnd. Ding, long, how pro
vokfngly long the silence dragged.
At last I heard a kiss—yes, 1
could not hare been mistaken, it
must have been a kiss—and then
a few soft sobs that told of tears
of joy in Aunt Becky's eyes. Had
their souls read each other in the
darkness, and flowed together in
eloquent silence as their cheeks
lay close against each other? it
must have Iteen so, for after Dea
con Podson had gone away, Aunt
Becky stood and looked out of the
window a long time; aud when
she turned back and lighted the
lamp to put Bubby to bed there
ere tears in her eyes and a happy
smile on her lips that plainly said
a blessing from the god of love
had fallen on her heart.

GREAT GRIEF.
From the Athens Banner-Watchman.
Uncle Dick Saultcr says: Fifty
years ago I had a running nicer
on my leg which refused to heal
under any treatment. In 1853
went to California and remained
eighteen months, and in 1873 1
visited Hot Springs, Ark., remain
ing three months, hut was not
cured. Amputation was disenss
ed, but I concluded to make one
more effort. I commenced taking
the B. B. B. about six weeks ago.
The fifty year-old sore on my leg
is healing rapidly, ami yesterday
I walked about fifteen miles fish
ing and hunting without any
pain, and before using the B. B.
a i could not walk exceeding
half a- mile. I aleep soundly at
night for the first time in many
years. To tbink that six bottles
hare done me more good iliac.
Hot Springs, eighteen months in
California, besides an immense
amount of medicines and eight or
ten first-class physicians, will
convince any man on earth that
it is a wonderful blood mediciue.
It has also cured me of catarrh.

“Won’tyou take a cheer?” ask
ed Aunt Becky, pushing a big
rocker near the stove.
“No, I can sit here just as well,”
replied the descon, confusedly, as
he let himself down on the corner
of the coal box.
“You’d bettei take the cheer,"
urged Aunt Bc.-ky.
“Waal, I don't care if I do.”
Aunt Becky drew up her old
fashioned sewing chair, anil the
two put their feet on the stove
hearth, pretty near each other. A
long, embarrassing silence follow
ed, during which Deacon Podson
warmed bis hands by tbe store
and rubbed them together, with a
few grunts and phews, as if he
were very cold.
“Is it so cold out?” I asked.
“Tol’able cold,” said the deacon.
Another long silence.
“How hev you been?” asked
Aunt Becky.
“Oh, tol‘a'ble.”
After more oppressive silence,
the deacon arose from his chair
and said:
“Waal, I just come over to say.
‘Wish you happy New Year.’ ”
“Waal, waal, you haiu’t a goiu'
yit,” said Aunt Becky. “Law
sakes! you haiu’t but just come.”
The deacon sat down again.
He hadn’t intended to go, but the
poor man had to say something.
I began to think it was an oc
casion when two are company- and
three or four are none, so I told
Bobby if be would come out in tbe
kitchen I would play checkers
ith him.
“I guess yon don’t remember
fingers of his satisfied old sweet
heart. This was all. No rapt a
rous embraces, no lingering kisses
spoiled the peaceful scene. Aunt
Becky's face, touched by the gleam
from the window in the stove,
seemed so full of tender love and
gentle satisfaction that I said to
myself we young people do not
know what real, comfortable love
is. Never again can I believe that
true love dues not run smoothly-.
Il is the heyday passion of youth
that finds obstructions in its
course, but the steady current of
Bccky’a love as alie aat there
hand in hand witb Deacon Pod
son, flowed on as grandly and
renely aa a mighty river out of
torrent time.
At last the darkness closed in
upon them and with Bobby fast
asleep in his chair 1 bad only to
listen. Was it wicked thus to
play the eavesdropper? Perhaps
so. 1 thought so; aud I doubt
not that was my prevailing reason
for doing so!
“How long is it since Sister
Podson passed away?’’ asked
Becky, with quivering tenderness
of tone.
“It's nigh on sixteen years now,”
replied the deanon, with a heavy
sigli, which was echoed by Annt
Becky.
“Sister Podson was such a dear,
good soul,” said Annt Becky,
softly, “it seemed a pity we could
not a'kept her always. But God's
will be done.”
“Yes; God’s will be done,” re
peated Deacon Podson, witb a
deep-drawn sigh.
We often sec men offering for
sale patent churns, claiming great
advantages for their new patent
over the old plan. A little dar
key, strong enough to give the
vertical stroke and lazy enough
to protect himself from tire—in
short, an ordinary little darkey-
bout twelve years old—is the
best mechanics yet for a churn.
There will certainly not be too

two and a half years she has been
bedridden, the catarrh or cancer
(the numerous physicians have
never decided which) during her
two and a half years in the bed,
had eaten all ihe roof of her mouth
out. She was so otl'cnsive no one
could stay in the room; she could
not eat anything, bul could swal
low soup if it was strained. She
gave up to die and came so near
perishing all thought she would
die. Her son bought the B. B. B.,
and she used several bottles, which
effected an entire care. She is
now well and hearty. I have not
exaggerated one particle.

Are the spell and the light of each

If woman be there, there is happi

EAitorM Enterprise Jb Appeal:
Tbe Albany Oil company baa
announced a reduction on cotton
seed, caused, it is said, by the de
dine in all food products. When
farmer* will exchange their cot
ton seed for meal and compost
with a good article of bone or ac
id phosphate, it will doubtless
prove beneficial, but to sell the
seed outright and attempt to sup
ply the place in the manure heap,
filled by them with commercial
fertilizers, simply because the seed
will bring cash and the other can
he bought on time, is the height
of folly.
The prohibition question in this
county will not be tested until
spFfng, for reasons not necessary-
to mention. Our people are very-
conservative, ami while the major
portion of the better class think it
would materially benefit our conu
ty, yet when it comes before ns,
while we will not be behind our
Atlanta brethren in zeal, we will
not condemn those who choose to
differ from us in the intemperate
manner seen on both sides in that
campaign. In other words, while
feeling that we are right, we think
ot hers have feelings, which as gen
tlemcn, we arc hound to respect,
and that fuss does not make ar
gument or meet it.

Depression of spirits, when it is

out of a hundred from dyspepsia,
or from a discordant liver—in
short, from bodily causes.
The Sleep of Children.
This is scarcely a secondary
matter to food and dress. We
know how few days eue can retain
their reason or life if sleep be ut
terly prevented. There are fear
ful old tales of deaths from this
torture alone.
Firstly, children, at least a
nervous child, should sleep alone.
Its stronger bedfellow draws upon
its strength in some as yet unex
plained manner, and ono will be
too hot and the other too cold with
the same blankets.
An aged or a weary person also
exhausts the vitality of a child.
In most elegant homes we see the
double beds being replaced by
two single ones, side by side. The
change lias wrought incredible-
marvels ia the health and temper
of children.
Again, all children and most
adults should have beds which
yield to the hotly. Children are
much more likely to suffer in this
regard, their prettiest cradles and
cribs often having slat or stiff
wicker bottoms which would make
even our stronger muscles ache.
Twice as long sleeps would they
take and wake smiling, did we
give them the most elastic woven
spiral wire with not loo heavy a
bed atop. The old fashioned
cord-bottomed bedsteads were
poorly replaced by any slats or
cheap springs; or the light stir
tip-a ble straw beds by their mod
ern substitutes of moss, cotton,
excelsior or indeed tied mattress
es of any sort except curled hair.
The English have followed none
of these cheap fashions of misery,
and, indeed, every thrifty Eng
lisli, Irish, German or Scandins
visn girl emigrant used to bring
her feather bed, knowing that a
bed must yield to support all
parts of the body to rest it-
A hair mattress in two parts
weighing a little more than thirty
pounds, over a feather bed on a
woven wire mattress is tiie ideal
bed. Tbe single wire mattress
costs but three dollars, and with
merely s comforter is lielter than
the average children's bed.
A nice cradle or crib bottom can
be made of a piece of tiie woven
wire tacked on, or of elastic web
bing tacked across at distances of
four incites. If beds are not
yielding, children will lie on their
backs, heating them much more
than is feared in a soft bed. If
the clothing is fitly loosened and
removed, as should be even in day
naps, the longer naps and tiie
freedom from taking cold through
perspired clothing when awaken
ed will amply compensate in time
for the few minutes spent.—Bot

Lyle’s Crossing, one at

Tillage of Spring Vale, ts\

The beginning of the bueii,

worth, who a short whiL^^^
erected a neat, and comnvx
store house near by, and fron. a
the Railroad, filling it with snf
goods as were most needed by tb
surrounding country, and a gin--
nery and shingle manufactory.—'
The capacity of the gin is ten
bales per day. Connected with
the gin is a hydraulic press, per
haps the only one in the county#
that will pack nicely and with
ease a bale of cotton weighing six
hundred jieumls, without any dan
ger to its fixtures, by the use of
one barrel of water. Said one
barrel being all that is necessary
for a season's packing, say 500
bales.
All of the above projierty had
recently been purchased by J. Ct
Crazier A Bro., and a lively busi
ness has been prosecuted the pres-'
ent season, and will lie coutiuueci
by- the same firm. And with the
indefatigable energy and natural
qualifications of J. C.Crosier, whw
gives it his entire attention, tbe
business will be greatly enlarged
in tbe near future.
Tbe convenience afforded by the
nearness of the railroad, has no
equal at any other point; there
being a side track upon which
cars can be dropped for loading
and unloading freights, no dray-
age being necessary.
The railroad buys more wood
at this point than at any other
perhaps, along its entire line, tak
ing as high as 80 cords per day.
There are now about twenty teame
employed hauling, and 50 hande
cutting wood for this place:
Within a few days past S post-'
office has beea established, and
the proper authoritiea hare prom- 1
ised a depot and Telegraph office
at no distant day. All goods kept
at Lyle’s, can be purchased me
cheap as at any point between
Macon andEufaula. This is also
one of the best cotton markets Ml
this whole section of eodMif.—»
Having no storage to pay, we get
the highest prices With freight off#
which is 17 cents per 100 pounds#
or 85 cts per bale. There is tut
comparison atodg onr Railroads
in small places like this, as X cot
ton market. 1 knew a farmer whor
had stored some of bis eotton at
another place, and desiring to sett#
was offered at that place upon a
strain, 6 cts per pound for his cot-
ton. Not being willing to take it#
lie paid the storage there, hauled
his cotton to Lyle’s Crossing, sold
it for 7 cents per lb., net, thereby
realizing on four light bated
$18.26. In view of these facts, we
would advise all who barer cotton
yet to sell, to carry It to Lylc’n
Planter.
