DRY GOOD
A sreatlv depressed market in the North makes the Athens market gloated with goods,
- nouriii" in at MAX JOSEPH’S store in such immense quamties that he was obliged
P to open another store at Madison, Georgia. Three heavy shipments received last
week Every one of my purchasing Agents sent me big drives, and if ever
unloading was done I shall make the desperate attempt. I have, always
succeeded, but this Monday must overbalance all efforts made by
me previous.

o’ the monnyments have been put up sense

Everybody is much enthused over

achievements ou the part of the direc

Athens will be crowded.
The gates of the Classic city will fair
ly burst with the thousands of visitors
that will pour into the city to see the
fun and excitement.
The enthusiasm grows every day, and
it-is amazing how the idea takes with
the people. The directors hit the nail
plumb on the head in deciding as they
did to make the show an occasion of
joyful amusements rather than a poky
display of agricultural, mineral and
mechanical produets. In arranging a
program of fun and frolic, they have
achieved their Success. The people

his eyes hadn’t fairly-lighted on her when
tho cap’u turned an’ caught him. It seemed
ez ef that was what the old feller’d bin waitin’
for. Ho riz right up in his seat, his eyes
rollin’ in his head, an’ ho took Alice by tho
arm, an’ ho marched right down tho aisle,
out o’ meetin’, an’ as he passed the Purdys
pew he glared so Stan thought he was goin’
ter have a fit, an’ didn’t know but twas his
dooty ter toller au’ tend ter him; but twas
jest as well he didn’t.
“The cap’n mode straight for home, usin’
most awful language. He said‘he knowed
now why Alice was alius so anxious to go ter
meetin’. An’twa’nt no use tor her to tell
him—what was the livin’ truth—that she
didn’t know Stan Purdy from Tom Nokes,
and hadn’t never sot eyes on him. He wouldn’t
b’liovo her.
“He had ter go ter the city that night,
lucky tor her, tor she was clear wore out;
but yo couldn’t blaxno her that next Sabbath
she did look over ter tbo Purdy’s pew, ter
see who twas the cap’n made sich a fuss
’bout; an’ Stan, rememberin’ how the cap’n
had acted the week afore, looked ’cross at her
jest las she looked at him.
“Well, Pm too old a woman ter go inter all
the particulars o’ that part of the story.
Young folks will bo young folks to the end o’
time; ’on we all know bow ’twas with our
selves. But ef Alice had had a bard time
afore, sho bad a wus one cow; ’twas bad
enough ter have a hot on’ hasty old father,
but when you come ter have a hot an’ hasty
young lover ez well, things git complicated.
“Stan wa’n’t ’fraid of the cap’n; he didn’t
care a cent tor his temper on’ his talk, nil’ he
loved Alice tor all be was wuth. Ho couldn’t
see no reason why he should be sacrificed ter
the cap’n’s whims. There wa’n’t the fust
thing’bout him tor nobody ter object tor in
a son-in-law; ho was studdy an’ ho had good
connections, an’there was money both sides
o’ the house. He meant tor have Alice, an*
he knowed ef ho didn’t get her consent Yore
the cap’ got home ho wouldn’t get it ’toll, au’
ho did his best.
“But Alice, she was jest like that flower I
told ye ’bout; it didn’t make no difference
what a rough, ugly old rock it was grow in’
next ter, the wind might blow a perfect cy
clone, it could make that flower tremble an’
shiver on’ bend an’ bow, but whou it got
through that flower was growin’ there jest
tho same. An’ try his best, Stan couldn’t git
her ter listen to him.
“So tho time passed by, an’ Stan see in tho
paper tho cap’n’s steamship had ’rived, an’ he
knowed he’d bo home next day. Things
i looked desperate, but ho wouldn’t give iu.
j “Well, that night Alice was out iu tho gar-
1 din after supper, wanderin’ round, thinkin’
it sartainly wa’n’t orthodoxl
“ ’Twas ’bout this time Stan come home,
older an’ browner uu’ harnsomer’u ever. He
was real shocked when he heard ’bout the
cap’u, an’ more still when ho see Alice in
church. He'd thought she’d bin dyin’ o’ a
broken heart all this time, but when ho come
ter look at her—not that he s’posed thinkin’ o’
him had anything ter do with it—he reckoned
’twas takin’ care o’ her father.
“He didu’t go to see her. He knowed he
was'cured, but still ho didn’t want ter resk
gettiu’ hurt agin; he hadn’t forgot what it
felt like, so ho walked home from meetin'
with Judge Perkins’ darter, an’ was arst to
stay ter supper, an’ spent a very pleasant
evenin’; an’ Alice went homo on’ cried her
self sick—difference ’tween men an' women,
that’? alL
“Well, ’twas tho old cap’n’s queer charac
ter that brought ’em together iu tbo fust*
place, on’ ’twas the same thing brought ’em
together in the end; ef ’t hadn’t bin for him
I don’t suppose they’d ever noticed each
other, un’ that’s what folks git fer meddlin’
in other folks' affairs.
“ Twas one Sabbath arfternoon jest arfter
meetin’; Stan was walkin’ in the cemetery
with his mother—they was goin’ ter see ef
the grass needed cuttin’ in thoir lot—an’ ez
they passed by the cap’n’s monnyment Stan
happened ter look toward it, on' there he see
some Leathern boy had printed ‘Rum Punch’
in big letters on tho cap’n’s urn.
“Stan most felt cz if ’twas his own father,
it made him so mad; but ho didn’t say nothin'
ter ’tract his mother’s ’tentiou. He got home
quick’s bo could, an’ bo got somo chemical
stuff on a rag, an’ some sand paper, an’ he
was goin’ back agin ter git them letters off
’fore poor Alice could come an' see ’em; but
somebody come in, an’ he was houdered tell
’t was pretty late ’fore he started.
