A FAMILY FUSS.
BY UNCLE TOM.
«]-)ad, make Sam lay further.”
“Come, Sam; give your brother
room and be quiet, and go to sleep
like good chddren.”
“Dad, I cain’t git no further, for I
am against the bed railin’, an’ if I git
a bit further I will, fall out. Tom’s
,, 0 t all the room, and ’sides that he’s
got all the cover off n me, and I’s
b een layin’ here for half hour nearly
frcezin’ to death. My teeth jest chat¬
tel, I’ni so cold.”
“Well, well, boys; you are in a
pretty ’dicament. The bed’s plenty
wide* for both of you, and a dozen
other such fellows, and the cover is
sufficient to keep you both comfort-
able. But, .Sam, for the sake of
peace, you get on the railing and let
Tom have the bed.”
“Well, dad, I don’t mind the rail¬
ing so much, but he’s got the cover;
and ma says she made this bed for
both of us, and that means the cover
too, and I think, dad, as this is jour
house and we are both your boys you
ought to see that I have equal chances
with Tom. The truth of the busi¬
ness is, dad, as long as it has come to
what it has, I want to tell you Tom
has been having his way long enough,
and you have encouraged him in it.
You have always given him the ad¬
vantage at the table, he lias been al¬
lowed to pick and cull over every¬
thing, if the biscuit was a little burnt
he was allowed to prize open the
crust and take the crumb, and the
crust was shoved to me, and it is the
same way with the meat; you allow
Tom to pick the meat off the bone,
then I have to cull over and got what
I can, an’ I gets mighty hungry, but
for the sake of peace in the family I
have went on, partly, too, because I
was ignorant of the fact that you was
backing Tom in all this, but since
you have stepped forward to-night
to vindicate your authority' over this
house in advising me to give up the
bed cover and all, it is too plain you
are a party' with him, and while I re-
gard you as a father, ami would dis-
dain to enter into a quarrel with you
about matters in which we are all
equally conscrned, yon, my dear fath-
or, will pardon me when I tell you
that you have allowed things of a
most partisan nature to he carried
on. You know I have always been
faithful to you. I have never vio-
bated that trust an obedient son should
nave in his father, but, sir, duty im-
pels me to speak to-night. I must
toll vou l have always went at your
command without a murmur, I have
worked in heat and cold, wet and dry',
I have gone out into the field early
of morning and worked late into the
evening; I have wore very shabby
clothes while Tom has been rigged
in the very best, hut now dear father,
candor would suggest that forbear-
anee on mv part would cease to be
virtue. Therefore, since you direct
me to stiil give way to Tom while we
are brothers, and I esteem him as
such, 1 must iu honor to myself and
the welfare of you and the house
over which you preside, demand an
equal chance with him. I wool 1
cheerfully yield to your mandates
and give way to him by' reason of his
birthright if he was entitled to it, but
there is left on record the younger
should served the elder. In this as
in other matters we find on record it
gives preference to the obedient and
not the disobedient. If I yield to
Torn the bed I must demand the
cover, or as I would rather have it,
wc both share equally in bed cover-
ing and all, and if I cannot get it I
am forced to appeal to the laws gov-
erning these matters.”

Sullivan Hardware Company.
Parties wanting to buy machinery'
any’kind should write to the Sullivan
Hardware Company, Anderson, S.C.
and get their prices before placing
their orders. This firm makes a spe¬
cialty of selling steam engines, cotton
gins, presses, saw mills, wagon scales,
shafting, pulley's, etc., and we un¬
derstand that their prices are very
low. They are general agents for
the Erie City Iron Works engines,
(Smith cotton gins, and DeLoaeh
saw mills, several of which have been
soln in this and adjoining counties
and are giving perfect satisfaction.
They also report large sales of tho
Thomas Suction Cotton Elevator,
which unloads the cotton from wagon
ing to gin by suction and is now becom¬
They so popular among all ginners.
ask us to say if parties who are
write needing machines of any kind will
and state what is wanted they
will take pleasure in quoting rock
bottom prices.

his able efforts in their schools.—
The Georgia Teacher.
Several parties have remarked in
our presence that the speech of Col.
Camp in the Glover case was the
finest effort in the court house here
since the day's of the Cobbs, Hill and
the People’s. He is, we learn, tlunk-
ing of quitting the civil practice and
going into corporation and criminal
practice exclusively', and will move
to Athens to practice law.

Hymeneal.
Mr. Tom J. McConnell, of this
place, was married to Miss Rcnna
Thompson, of Jefferson, last Sunday'
afternoon.
Ami thereby hangs a romance.
The parents were willing, but is¬
sued a mandate that the union could
not be for a considerable time yet.
But the old adage that “love laughs
at locksmiths” still held good, and
a clandestine marriage was planned.
Accordingly a license was secured
and the ordinary sworn to secrecy,
and Sunday the pair drove out to
I’endergras, where a. rural justice
made them a happy one.
The groom returned home, intend¬
ing to get in readiness a “vine clad
cottage,” and then spring a surprise
on the “old folks,” but “the best laid
plans of mice and men often gang
aglee.”
Jefferson has a “Peeping Tom,”
and he revealed the whole affair, and
hardly had Mr. McConnell rested
from his trip when lie received sev¬
eral letters telling him he had “just
as well come after his wife,” as Jef¬
ferson knew the facts.
On Wednesday evening lie brought
home his lovely bride, and—
“All’s well that ends well.”
The Enterprise extends to the
young couple its best wishes.
Ondast Sunday' evening Mr. John
L. Underwood cast aside the mantle
of celibacy, by taking unto himself
one of Bank’s fairest daughters, Miss
Mamie Harmon. The marriage was
performed at the residence of the
bride’s father, Mr. M. T. Harmon,
Rev. Wm. Brock officiating.
To the young couple we extend
congratulations, and w'ish them much
success in their wedded life.
Happy and content is a home with “ The Ro¬
chester;” a lamp with the light of the morning.

Our School Money.
The commissioner of education has
apportioned the public school fund to
the counties for this year. The total
amount is $935,611.09.
Franklin county gets $8,057.25;
Hart gets $5,081.44; Habersham gets
$5,392.43; Madison gets $5,706.39;
Banks gets $4,630.91.
The school fund and the widows’
pension will certainly put some money
where it is needed. We ought not
to grumble at high taxas when the
money comes back to be circulated
right in our midst.
We are in receipt of the first issue
of “The People’s Party Paper,” of
Atlanta. It comes full of news and
good alliance doctrine. It makes a
bright start and we predict for it a
brilliant future.
