Bohemian's Budget,
Ckcii., February .1t.—St, Valen
tine! what memories cluster around
the day! Yes, 1 was once young, and
drew valentine lots and sent my
sweetheart the best verse in my shop.
We drew the names out and then
prepared the plaited and carved sheet
of paper and wrote thereon some
words with the svrup dripping off
them and enclosed the same to Julia,
or Fannie, or Polly, as the lot fell,
and sent through the hands of some
trusty gobetween, under many pledges
of secrecy, which of course, were
given with the knowledge they were
not expected to be fulfilled. And
then came the answer fixed, and
written, and sent in the same style.
But occasionally came
city. All seemed to come with one
intent, that of having a good time.-
Amidst the chatter of voices came a
sound of silence, when old and young
filed forward to participate in the
Shadow Party. Tis then we see the
gray-haired sire come forward, lean
ing on his arm the blushing valen
tine, At the refreshment tables
they were seated, where the most
delicate appetite was satisfied. Last,
but not least of the enjoyments was
the Donkey Party, introduced by our
genial townsman, Mr. E. II. Tift,
who always anticipates the wants of
our people, especially in the way of
fun. The contest was a lively one.
The cake after much contention was
awarded Mr. Malone, of Silicon. As
the hour of twelve drew near, all
dispersed, feeling that each vied with
the other in making it. a most pleas
ant occasion. One who was tiikuk.

L’lie editor is in receipt of n letter
from llev. .1. W. Reese, formerly of
Tifton, hut now of Arabi, which au
thorized him to publish such extracts
from it us lie deemed of interest or
beneficial to Gazettk readers. If
the letter had not. been mislaid, the
extracts would have appeared last
week, lie says:
“I am pleasantly Bit anted in inv
field of labor and doing all I can for
the Master's cause.
“I have six appointments-—a heavy
tusk—hut the Master has promised,
‘Lo, I inn with you always,even unto
the end of the world,’and bless llis
holy name, He is keeping that prom
ise as He does all others.
“God is wonderfully blessing me
in my labors. At Harmony Grove
on Sunday night 1 Jan miry 54Dt.fi]
there were about fitly attentive at
tendants upon prayer meeting. God’s
spirit was present and we sang,
prayed and talked, and felt that it
was good to be there.
“It cheers and strengthens me, as
I go from church to church, believ
ing the young men of Tifton are
praying for me. God bless and save
the young men ot Tifton and greutly
prosper them in their Y. M. U. I’,

I “Tifton has a strong and lusting

sons of refreshing from the presence
of the Lord.

my warmest friends. He i» a good

Talk about disappointment! Jttst
how keen such epistles are—Valen
tine or what not, the old hoys know
as well as the youth of to-day.
But the day, like Bunqiio’s ghost,
would not down, although Julia
married 'tother fellow, and the years
rolled on, and the kaleidoscope of
human Imps and mishaps have gone
on just the same as if she Imd written.
“Love you, yes indeed I love you"
without the annoying finish of Unit
stinging verse.
And now my seven year old kid of
the second chapter of married life
wants a birthday present- Had lie
been the first verse of the first chap
ter, of course lie would have got a
new cup or something of the sort,
whereas verse three, chapter second
acquired a beautiful jewsharp ns an
heirloom, of the value of two cents.
By the way, why don’t the trusters
get up something on jewduitps, ti:i
horns, pig fiddles, roman candles,
and all the horrible inventions of tor
ture to ears mature, and let the pork
and Hour market, he quiet. 1 for one
would he glad t hey would “strike oil”
in tlint field.
But Valentine! The name that
calls up so many memories pleasing
ami sail culls my attention to the
fact that youths and maidens still
wed.
Mr. \V. T. Burton, well-known It)
Tifton, took to himself a wife last
Monday, in the person of the beauti
ful and accomplished Miss Bessie
Hum'll. Best wishes for their hap
piness.
On Sundav Mr. Mitchell Gradily
espoused in due form Miss Bel.tie
Fute.li, one of Mr. Thomas Finchs'
fair daughters. .May they find sail
ing on the River of Life as smooth
as a Sea of G hiss.
And now conies the plaintiff,
l’erry I’ecplcs, whose cards are out to
wed a beautiful young lady of Brooks.
If 1 get a piece of cake as he has
promised, why, I'll eat it and semi
you due notice thereof. I’erry
swapped horses live times lo-day and
was looking for another swap, hut his
horses do not go us fast as Squire
Luke's guano.
At first lie sent out circulars, but
now lie can’t get it here as fast by
steam as it is moved away by sweat.
There is one good piece of news
from Cecil, the cholera has attacked
the dogs instead of the hogs. I
wonder if some gold hug will take
the hint and get up a trust on hark.
And now 1 wind up this with a
decided dislike for rabbits.

Messrs. Dick and Bob Smith and

They report sptondid “luck.”
Prof. J. II. (Inner and Miss Alary

inst., at the home of the bride's father,
Mr. W. W. Musselwhite, in Enigma.
Judge J. A. Bull officiated. After
the marriage the guests were invited
to partake of a delightful wedding
supper.
If times don’t get better the “Idle
Club,"of Enigma, will positively have
to go to work. It is at present in a
most flourishing condition. Dr.
Hammond, president; J. T. Austin,
secretary; Onpts. J. B. Gunn and M.
II. Murray, soliciting agents. This
Club is in position to give informa
tion on any subject, required. Busi
ness solicited and satisfaction, as to
results, guariinted.
1 agree with Sam Simple, who said
"when a mini gets grown he ought to
marry and, if ho fails to marry on his
own volition, some one ought to make
him marry.” This logic would n«-
dotihtedly tipplv to some parties at
Enigma.
Air. John Dorminey, of Alapahn,

mid go slow; buying guano, raising
cotton and eating Western bacon and

This fact has been demonstrated ill
more instances than one.
Afr. W. S. Johnson has moved his
family buck to Willacoochee.
Air. J. M. Reynolds and Judge J.
A. Bull are preparing to put two
acres in onions this season.
Capt. J. B. Gunn has a two acre
field of the finest oats I have seen
this year. With no disaster they will
yield forty or fifty bushels per acre.
The oats are iu drills, amt at the
proper time Capt. Gunn intends
planting long cotton between the
oat drills, from which he will, sea
sons favoring, gather one or one and
a half bales of the fleecy staple.
Thus, you see, a little land can be
made to yield a handsome profit du
ring a year’s time by proper fertili
zing and cultivation.
