TOO POOR TO iViARRY.
Mr. Editor: — In conversation the
the other day with a nice intelligent
youth—man—he remarked: “ I am
too poor to marry.” "Well, what is
your income?” ‘About $500 a year.”
“Have you laid by any for a rainy
day ?” “Oh no ! It takes all to live
me.” What is your prospect for old
age and infirmity which comes to all?”
“I never think of that.” “Put my
friend yon ought to think of it and
act too.” “But I could not support
a wife if I had one.” “Yes you can,
be much happier and a better citizen.
Do you not know that a man can
live cheaper with a wife than without
one?” “Please explain.” In the first
place start light. Explain to the
lady your condition and means. Be
candid and truthful in everything.
Let her understand that you are not
seeking a toy to be decked and pa¬
raded in the marts of fashion and
folly, but a true woman to act her
part in the battle of life—to live for
a purpose and meet life’s duties and
responsibilities. Then assure her of
your love and devotion, your single
purpose to make her happy and the
victory is won. The young man who
persuades himself that two can live
as cheaply as one can always find
a girl to help him try the experiment,
and life’s history shows that
tenths of such experiments are de
lightfully successful. another
Start right in respect.
When the silken knot is tied and
life’s realities come meet them with a
brave heart, commence at the
tom and climb up, use economy—not
stinginess—and be sure to liv a within
your income. Keep always! ■p mind
that life is what you make it.
men, whether old or young, spend
more on trifles than it wou 4 d take to
support a wife. It is of rare occur
rence that a single man everaccumu
lates a fortune and if he does he rea
lizes that money cannot supply the
place of wife and children. A dreary
old age casts its darkening
as the days go by and Le is a fearful
failure. Observer.
WRINKLES FR01V5 BAYARD.
August 1st, 1S87.
Another correspondent—from Bay¬
ard.
Bayard ? Where’s Bayard ? .
Like the Georgia Midland it’s just
where it wasn’t a year ago.
Bayard has been thoroughly wet
since Wednesday at 9, a. m., and
from present appearances no hopes of
getting dry soon.
The stove wood is out, the well
is full of mud and there’s trouble in
the kitchen. Result, late breakfast,
later dinner and no supper, Have
looked everywhere for a piece of dry
wood and can’t find it.
The estimate is that two and a half
feet of water has fallen within the
past five days, which gives us half a
foot a day, with the prospect of more
at the rate of an inch a minute.
But we don’t measure such rainfalls
by inches. Result, all lowlands sub¬
merged, bridges all gone and no mail
since last Wednesday.
We can never become reconciled
to cuch a lutarious life as we are now
leading and will app’y soon to the
Signal Service for a change.
Did you ask how the crops are ?
Our nabor’s all say they are ruined,
but we are holding a stout upper lip
and shall trust in Providence till the
breeching breaks. If the crops are
ruined we have the consolation of

Uncle Needham McLeroy and his
daughter, Miss Levisa, from Clay
county, Ala., are on a visit to his son
Mr. Abram McLeroy. Uncle Need
om was one of the first settlers of
this portion of Harris county and it
is a real treat to sit and listen to his
reminiscences of sixty years ago,
when the wolf’s lugubrious howl and
the shrill sharp whistle of the wild
deer on darksome nights were heard
in a stone’s throw of your dwelling.
Come again, uncle Needom. You
are a welcome visitor to the scenes
of your early life. JEP.

Change of climate or water veryoften
effect the bowels seriously. If on the

you would take Dr. Biggers’ Huckle¬

That is to say, your lungs. Also
all your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not only
the larger air passages, but the thous
ands of little tubes and cavities lead
from them,
When these are clogged and chok
e.l with matter which ought not to
bc lhcre > >' our lungs cannot half do
thcir vvork - And what they do they
cann °t do well.
Call it cold, cough, croup pneu¬
monia, catarrh, consumption or any
of the family of throat and nose and
head and lung obstructions,all are bad.
All ought to be got rid of. There is
just one sure way to get rid of them.
That is to take Boschee’s German
Syrup, which any druggist will sell
you at 7 5 cents a bottle. Even if
everything else has failed you. you
may depend upon this for certain.

Have been practicing medicine fifteen

H uckleberry Cordial is by far the best.
