MADERA “MASH"
A few evenings ag, whileoneofour
young men was engaged iu conversa
tion with a fair damsel,_ an impudent
fly interrupted the conversation by
mounting itself upon her nose. The
young man remarked, “There’s a fly
on your nose I’’ She raised her deli
cate little hand in a striking attitude,
when he remarked, “Dont’t strike
that fly—that’s my fly!" She re
marked, “Well, I don’t like these
‘High-flies’ anyway.’’ “Well, but,
you see, lie’s ‘stuck’ on you." “That
may b., but I’m not ‘stuck’ on him,’’
and so she doubled her little fist and
uave liim a tnasli. Another imperti
nent little fly, witnessing the per
formance, bristled up near by and
seemingly said, “I’ll be hanged if she
hasn’t made a‘mash’on my Husband !”
ONLY $1 25—GAZE ON THIS.
We call special attention to our
clubbing arrangement with the great
southern weekly, the Atlanta Consti
tution, which enables us to offer both
papers for the remark at Jy low sum of
$1 40 a year. The first duty of every
good citizen is to patronize his home
paper. He wishes to become thor
oughly conversant with his county
matters, and only through his home
paper can he expect to be supplied
with the current county news, which
is of the closest interest to him.
Alter he has provided himself with
his home paper his next consideration
of those who are not within easy
reach of a first-class daily newspaper
should be lo select a first-class weekly
newspaper supplying all the general
news ot the world, and paving special
attention to features which are of par
ticular interest to the household and
the farm.
Ju9t such a paper is The Weekly
Constitution, published at Atlanta,
Ga., and having a circulation of
156,000 copies a week, the largest of
any weekly newspaper published iu
America. It is essentially a farmer’s
paper and stands at the head of the
weekly press of this country. Its
agricultural department alone is
worth the subscription price of lire
paper, while it numbers among itß
contributors such well knowu names
as Bret Ham, Mark Twain, Joel
Chandler Harris, Sarge Plunkett, Bill
Arp, and a best of others, whose rep
utations are world wide. Its women
an<t childieu’s departments are pre
pared with a special view to please the
little folks and the women, and. its
news columns literally eover the face
of the earth.
We ate enabled to offer both papers
at practically the price of om , and we
wid lake great pleasure iu forwarding
to The Constitution any names sent
us iu connection with our clubbing
offer at the remarkably low price
above given.

JACKSON, GA OCTOBER 19, 1893.
A AVAR STORY.
(by a butts county soldier.)
CHAPTER IX.
I remained at home t< r some
lime, but as soon as I got able to
the trip I went to see Fanny,
my first love. She had grown from
a girl to a woman and I from a boy
to a man. We did not admire each
other as we did when the war broke
out, so we soon agreed to break ofl
the engagement and set each
other free. So I had a fine time, as
there were plenty of young jadies
anti very few youi.g men. I was
engaged to at least half a dozen of
them. Some of them I fooled and
some ot them fooled me, so I made
nothing by flirtiug with the girls.
I went back to the army that
tall and found our command at
Petersburg. They had been driven
back by the enemy, had given up
Richmond and was now contending
for Pete.sburg. I staid with the
boys one month, but was not able
to be on duty. I then got a dis
ci arge and returned home.
At this time Sherman's army was
contending for Atlanta, and in a
short time they were making that
long to be remembered march
through the heart of Georgia. M\
brother and I and a tew other dis
aided confederates, when we heard
they were corning, went down on
the river into a body el woods to
hide from them, where we remained
until late in the evening, and as w<
could not hear anything, I told the
boys I knew’ an old man near b\
who had some “red eye’ ’ hid out
aud that I would go and get some
for our sto >.ech’s sake. I went anu
toun-t the old man and started alter
it. We had only gone a short dis
tance when we met twenty-five ot
thirty yankees going to guard the
ferry, who took ns as prisoners; s<>
1 was in their hands for the fire j
time. I sent to my mother to send
my overcoat, and father, not know
ing they would bother him, came to
oring the coat. They took him up,
out the next morning they released
us and we went back to the boys,
and in a short time a squad of yan
kees who were hunting horses took
us all up. One crowd would take
us and seeing our condition all die
abl *d, would tell us lo go home and
stay there, but before we could ge
home another crowd would take us
up. Finally, I refused to bo re
leased until teey carried me to head
quarters. They carried me to Gen
**ral Smith, and I found him to be
the same generaal that we had as a
prisoner at Harper's Ferry, He
que3ioned me very closely, and
when I told him I was at Harper's
Ferry he said we were even now,
that I had him a prisoner there and
that now he had me. I told him
we were not even, that we gave him
a pass there, and now I wanted him
to give me one. He did so. But as
I had hve miles to go to get 1 ome, I
had to show my pass several times
They took nearly everything we
had, leaving us almost destitute.
After his I turned my attention
to a young lady who had told me at
least a dozen times that she liked
me as a friend, but would never
marry me. Finally, after pleading
with her twelve months, she com
sented to be my wife, and thus
ended my flirting with the g rls
and my ups and downs in the war;
for the war was now ended and
what few of our men were left had
retured home, some to see their
wives and some to take unto them
selves a wite, as nearly all the boys
had their girls picked out.
Now, dear reader, as I did not set
out to write a history of the war. 1
have omitted many things that are
yet fresh in my memoiy. but vhat
I have written is just as I r. member
it. If any ot my old comrades
should eh -nee to read what I have
written and discern any mistakep,
they may safely say it was an err< r
ot the head jind not o the heart.
The editor has my thanks for his
kindness in giving tny ups and
downs space in his valuable paper.
Hopmg it has been interesting to
some ol the many readt-rs, I now
clo-f.

A Queer Test of Strength.
The recent French experiment upon
50 persons of both sexes, in which a
machine for compression as a test of
strength was used, demonstrated that
the strongest man was able to pro
duce with his right hand a pressure
equivalent to 85 kilograms, the weak
est 40, the average being SG. One
curious conclusion arrived at as a re
sult of the experiment was this: The
short men were all very nearly as
strong as the tall ones, the average
difference bet ween groups of the two
sizes being only three kilograms. The
force of the strongest woman of the
50 amounted to only 44 kilograms,
and that of the weakest to only 16,
while the average was only 83 kilo
grams.—St. Louis Republic.
