Ftadger and bis adherents moved

five minutes after the polls were opened
the blue tickets poured in. Then the

In some parts of Asia the question of a
man’s title to a bride must bo settled by a
fierco fight between the .friends of the con
tracting parties. If his forces ore victorious
his sweetheart becomes his trophy.
In ancient Greece the lover was seldom fa
vored with an opportunity of telliug his pas
sion to bis mistress, and he used to publish it
by inscribing his name on the walls, on the
bark of the trees in the public walks and
upon the leaves of boohs.
A Scotch beadle took his sweetheart to a
graveyard, and showing her a dark corner
said: “Mary, my folks iio there. Would
you like to he theref’ It was a grim way of
proposing, but Mary was a sensible Scotch
lassie, and she accepted him.
According to Dr. Hayes, courtship among
tho Esquimaux has not much tenderness
about it. Tho match is made by the parents
of the couple. The lover must go out and
capture a polar bear as an evidence of his
courage and strength, and then steal liis
sweetheart.
In the Isthmus of Darien either sex can do
tho courting, while in tho Ukraine tne girl
generally attends to it. When she falls in
love with a man she goes to his house and
declares her passion. If ho declines to ac
cept her she remains there, and his case be
comes rather distressing.
Among tho ancient Assyrians all marriage

According to curious old marriago custom,

“This is how you will faro if you make mo

this is how you will faro if you treat mo

A curious custom prevails in Oud Bcier-

staco each other out of countenance, and
then retiro to make up their minds on the

Tho Australian lover is lacking in tender

For a long time noted Cor its intelli
gence and bealtbfulness, Madison has
now become widely known as an impor
tant business centre.
The impetus given to every branch of
trade by the building of the C. *nd M.
railroad, and the erection of Rucker’s
compress is the greatest the town has
ever known.
Passing along the streets can be seen
wagon loads of cotton moving hither
and thitherto and from warehouses, the
compress and the railway depots. Coun
try wagons loaded with the fleecy sta^
pie, and all kinds of "pr6du?6 'pour in
daily from “early morn till dewy eve.**
Merchants, bankers and even lawyers
are being paid right along, and plenty
beams from the faces both of the towns
folk and rural gentry.
It will not be amiss to note a fee
e\id<*nces of genuine growth. Within
the past twelve months a large number
of new dwellings have been built accor
ding to the modern styles of architec
ture, which present a pleasing contrast
to to the stately mansions of ante
bellum days. Sew fence-*, fresh paint
and white-washing have lent their aid
in making the city attractive, and in
keeping with the spirit of progressive
ness now seizing it.
The new City Hall completed last
fall is a neat two-story brick structure,
surmounted with a cupola, where hangs
the bell which sends forth tho fire

The extensive new compress recently
constructed by Capt. J. II. Rucker, of
Athens, is an imposing structure of its

C. aud M. railroads, and is overrun with
work.
Messrs Jas Tweedy and Dave Jacks,
both of Athens, are in charge of Mr
Rucker’s business, and are well sustain

men. Close by is the site of the C. and
M. depot, the materials for which are
already at hand, and a splendid brick
edifice it will be.
Exemplifying the commercial growth
of Madison it may be noted that the
leading merchants calculate upon
ceiving over 20,000 bales of cotton this
season.
Taking the business men generally they
are as clever and enterprising as any
town can boast of. Without disparage
ment to any the following deserve no

Messrs J. R. High A* Son carry a very
large stock of general merchandise. Their

[Special Correspondence.]
New York; Sept 25.—Several weeks ago
inclination and a bed-and-buffst car ou the
coast lice railway took a Gotham journalist
to one of the most attractive of the not very
numerous Atlantic seaboard cities which
erect their temple spiree and minarets be
tween Hampton Roads and the inmlubrious
Florida Keys, He had been corresponding
for a long while with a wall known newspa
per proprietor in that section of cur diversi
fied country, but had never met his talented,
genial, esteemed and prosperous southern
contemporary face to face. So he called
upon him, without ceremony, and found the
latch string hanging out.
When this visit was made, CoL Rodgers
(which, by the by, isn’t his name) was pro
fuse In hand shaking and kindly words of
welcome. The New York man could plainly
see, however, that be had dropped in upon
the right friend at the wrong moment. It
was, in fact, the colonel’s busy day, which,
as a regular thing, cornea to him about six
times every week. Yet there w&i much to
be talked of and over; notea to be compared,
affairs of common interest to be discussed,
and a commodious, finely appointed publish
ing house to bo inspected by tho New Yorkee*.
He tried hard to beg off, but the hospitable
colonel said:
You came almost a thousand miles to see
me, major, and found mo up to my ears In
businesa. It’s always this way down her*
However, I’ll find time enough to treat you
as a gentleman should be treated. There fa
a committee waiting on me, inside (pointing
to his private office), a couple of dozen let
ters to write or dictate, and a big advertis
ing contract to be revised; but lean give
ou half an hour, anyhow I Come up stairs.
’ll shew you our plant, and we can chat as
we go along.”
So nimbly mounting a steam elevator they
went to the roof of a lofty building, and for
five minutes gazed, north, east, south and
west, at the really picturesque municipal
length, breadth and boundaries; at toe
suburban landscapes and the tortuous sun
reflecting river sweep, with the gleaming,
billowy ocean beyond. Then, floor by floor,
they descended until the outer portal was
again reached and a hearty mutual parting
grasp indulged in.
It was whilo they were slowly coming
down stairs that a boy employed In the office
stepped close to tho colonel’s elbow and
quietly said:
“They are waiting for you, dr, to make a
quorum.”
“Yes, yes,” replied the urbane and method
ical colonel, “I'll be with ’em directly. Tell
Van to wait for mo—ten minutes.”
Another department was shown to the
New Yorker, and again ram* a messenger.
This timo it was a demure, slimy. Uriah
Heep stylo of desk clerk, who spoke with
bated breath and cringing humbleness. His
superior looked at him exactly as he would
at a cylinder roll of ordinary blank i
“FU be there—in fifteen minutes, Mr.
Croakspine. They must be patient."
He dismissed the cat treading clerk with
an authoritative wave of his hand and turned
into another room. The Now Yorker, fol
lowing him, felt somewhat complime
but wisely kept his own thoughts uncli
of words. Finally, tbo entire upper port of
the publishing house had been explored. A
visit was then made to tho cellar, where a
rapid, web perfecting power press and other
Improved mechanical devices come in for a
share of admiration. As they were on the
stairs leading from the basement to the first
floor, one of tho committeemen rushed to the
top step and tartly exclaimed:
‘Colonel, we've been waiting twice the
time you sent word to us. What in
world keep* you so long!”
“Hello, general, fa that youf Howdy!”
laid the nonchalant colonel. “Very sorry,
my dear sir, but I can’t be in two places at
once, you know. Ah, allow me to have the
pleasure! Gentlemen, you must become ac
quainted. Major, this fa one of our solid
men, Gen. Job Wilson. Ha owns the larg
est and best rice plantation on our river,
and in fifty counties round Is noted for bfa
cosy, graceful and courtly manners. There,
you needn’t blush, general, for you know aa
villas I do that you are never in too much
hurry to forget your native poll!
Shake hand* with my newspaper friend,
Maj. H , ot New York, general. He’i
royal good fellow and has a right smart
reputation up north. About twice In R quar
ter of a century he comes to see me. Then
devote myself to him. Well, I won’t detain
in, general, from tho committee. Tell ’em
I’m with ’em in short order. Say twenty
minutes, general l”
The general had nervously—rather spas
modically—touched the major's finger tips,
and then fled to report progress. After a
momentary chuckle, which shook his good
natured anatomy, the colonel remarked, with
quaint, peculiar impressment, and in a dry,
erfaptones
“You see how it is, major. They must
wait or have no meeting, for Pm chairman
of toot committee and have all its business
in my head and coat pocket. Now, it would
do for me to be remiss In entertaining
a real, live, flesh and blood New York editor,
who honors mo with his first visit after
twelve years of mail and wire intimacy.
Why, I can see those other fellows and talk
’em deaf, dumb and cnxa eyed every hour
any day, but let me tell you, major, that
southern gentility, etiquette and hospitality
are sacred obligations which must be main
tained if all the committees north of old Ty-
beo die of neglect. Oh, yes; the boys will
wait The general will make ’em wait. He
is never in a hurry after he’s had ono of my
sledge hammer hints.
Being duly convinced of the practical util
ity of the colonel’s system for graduating
precious momenta to the emphatic require
ments of good breeding (whenever a stranger
was within his gates) the Mnnhattaner bowed
his appreciation, took his leave and spared
that volcanic committee at least fourteen
of the ultimate twenty minutes.

Hunnicutt Rheumatic Cure Co.:
Gentlemen—My 2-year-old child
had whooping cough in its severest
form, and I could find nothing to
relieve it until I procured a bottle
of Hunnicutt's Throat and Lung
Cure. After taking about one-fourth
of same the dear little one was cur
ed completely, and has not had the
slightest cough since. I have used
the remainder of the bottle in my
family since for colds and coughs,
and in every instance a cure was
effected, especially in my own case.
I had an aggravated sore throat
and hacking cough of three weeks-

doses. Wishing you success; Res

Gentlemeu—I have been troub

Sore Throat with severe Cough,
for a number of years past and I
have tried a great many of the most
popular remedies known to the
public or the profession, aome
mitigating the disease more and

try the preparation known as

medicine.
Indeed, I do not hesitate to say
that I have derived more'bcnefrf'

In case of Sore Throat it is
especially fine. When in that
condition I sip about a teaspoonful

very satisfactory results.
It has another excellence in my
case: It never produces nausea, but
