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.

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.

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. R-sprctful Iv, W. D.

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. A. G.
