Rev. Elam Culpepper “hit the nail
on the head” last Sunday morning,
when in the progress of his discourse
he remarked that, “a boy who failed to
show honor and reverence for his pa
rents, and a proper respect for ladies,
was nothing more than a little upright
animal.”

An old maid in one of our rural pre
cincts on the eve of becoming wife of
a widower and step-mother to five
children at one and the same time, was
interviewed by the organist of the
cross road church as to her preference
of a wedding march to bo rendered on
the happy occasion.
With a simpering smile and bashful
blush that would have done credit to a
maiden much younger and less wrink
led, she said :
“Well, Miss Smith, if you haven’t
any objections, I prefer you would ren
der that sweet old hymn,
“ ‘This is the way I long have sought,
And mourned because I found it not.”

The music at the Methodist Sunday-

Griffin, who has quite a local reputa

tones adding much to the “concord of

of the listener on that occasion.

Some folks have such little, self-cou
cerned minds that they are prone to
consider any one holding different
ideas and views to the code they have
adopted, as untrustworthy and incapable

true importance attached to what they

Col. T. C. Nolan has about finished
the dining room and library addition to
bis residence. When fully completed
it will be one of the most con
venient and attractive residences that
can be planned, and is not only an
honor to McDonough, but would
do credit to any city. llome-build
iug should be first pride of all
communities, and Col. Nolan has
set a most worthy example by the man
ner iu which he has beautified and
made comfortable bis premises. The
Weekly woulu be proud to see Mc-
Donough full of just such attractive
homes. We should have them—and
it is by no means impossible.
-Mr. J. W. Harper executed the work
on this addition to Col. Nolau’s house,
which reflects much credit upon his
skill as a mechanic.
Mr. J. Q. Nolan is having splendid
success with his peach orchard. Out
of the three thousaud trees put out, not
more than a dozen, perhaps, have died.
May the day soon come when this en
tire section shall be made to blossom
in:o great fruit orchards, ripening into
prosperity and happiness for our peo
ple. The natural home of the most
luscious and delightful peach, there is
hardly an end to our possibilities here.

lion. John I. Hull, in his position as

and there are many- of them. He has
about twelve hours of hard work a day,

making many friends in Washington.

On ilie side of Kennesaw mountain,
where twenty-nine years ago the storm
of shot and shell swept ten thousand
of Sherman’s men into eternity, the
timber has been cleared away and an
immense peach orchard will be planted.
The late Judge John 1). Cunningham
planted an orchard ot 22,000 trees on
the other side of Kennesaw two years
ago, and now his son, Mr. John Cun
ningham, is carrying the work up the
very incline where so many thousands
wnffted into the jaws ol death. Verily
this is turning swords into plowshares
and spears into pruning hooks.—Rome

V bile on his Texas trip Mr. AY'. L.
Kimbell met a gentleman who had been
traveling in Omaha, and came across
the following notice tacked up on the
door of a “dug-out” in the wilds of
that region : “IGO miles to the railroad,
140 miles to civilization, 250 feet to
water, 6 inches to hell. Walk in,
stranger, and help yourself ”
Farmers all agree that although the
cool weather w'e have experienced this
spring lias proven runious to the young
cotton plants it has been the making
of the wheat and oat crop. Every
hitter lias its swee’.
Mr. Henry Grier, of Rocky Creek,
was exhibiting on our streets last Sat
urday several of the finest heads of
wheat we have ever seen grown in
this section. Mr. Henry Copeland also
exhibited some of the same variety
that could scarcely he surpassed. Doth
farmers claim that the samples exhib
ited were raised on average land mod

J. W. A. says lion. Ned Reagan
possesses as great a horror of “sar

excursion, he and a number of gentle
men were rowing along in an old
bateau near the hanks of the stream,
which, as is usually the case, were
firiuged vvi'h over hanging bushes.
It was noticed that Reagan seemed
rather nervous and ill at ease, occasion-
ally striking the bushes with his oar,
hut the cause of his abstracted manner
was made vety maniftst when observ ]
ing a small moccasio'i, about four or
five inches inches in length, compla
cently sunning itself on an overhanging
hush just a few feet ahead and directly
in their course, with a shout that would
have done credit to a Comanche war

What Some Men Say.
Willis Fields says he will bet that Tad

Joe Griffin savs it won’t do for Tom
*
Westmoreland to go to heaven, for
Tom would worry the arch angels out
of their lives, and if possible cause the
Great King to desert his kingdom, if
Tom is allowed to ruu his tough jotes
in that holy laud.
Tom Westmoreland says ho dhh’j*
tel! what a mau means, ouly oy what
he says. When Tom wants to. get off
a good joke on a fellow lie is blessed
dull of comprehension. TojfflSp a
rich joke, and lie don’t much - uar« at
whose expense, lie says he can't ■‘Pad.
hut Margaret can, and lie can J>ear.
There is no discount on Tom’f hearing,
lie comes as near making the best'of
this life as any other blind man I ever
knew. He certainly has the keeuest
percaptiou of any man in forty-eight
counties, lie can tell any one ofhis chil
dren by the sound of their foot tread,hut
he can’t tell what a fellow means onlyf
by what he says. Wonder if Margaret
will come accioss these sayings, and
read them where Tom can lieaV? Well,
if she does, Tom will say—that is some
more of Uncle William’s scribbling.
Our readers must hear in that Tom
can’t tell a thing of what is meant,
only by what i# said.
Now, if I were to say anything of a j
certain lady I met with a few evenings
agone, by way of a merited compli
ment, it would arouse Tom’s Sympathy
the moment he heard Margaret read
it, aDd the first time he saw me he
would want to know if aunt Lizzie was
seriously ailing. Still this \eritable
Tom Westmoreland uever has any idea
what a mau means only when he hears
Margaret read what he says. When
ever it suits Tom to interpret a man’s
meaning by what he says, that is all
right, but when the saying happens to
be a little ambiguous, Tom reserves
the right to place his own construction
upon the saying. 1 have one say that
1 want to say, while other men are
having their say. My say is to sav to
Margaret not to lead too mu where
Tom can hear It. There Wir.-'VV rerr.i'
other lovable ladies who I would like
to say I meet with oacasionally, who
are deserving a passing notice in the
columns of The Weekly, but if I say
what I woald like to say, Toro would
want to know what doctor was going
to sea Aunt Lizzie, and if there was ,
any hope of her recovery. When it
comes to perpetrating tough, leather
tanned jokes on a poor innocent fellow
Tom is as mean as gar broth ; and, by
the way, Willis Fields will tun some
risk of being left outside of the king
dom, if perpetrators of dry tough jokes
are to he counted out. W. T. G.

ly had time to breathe, that his Jackson
liuggy was such a fine piece of work,
so elegautly made and beautifully fin-;
ished, that orders were being received j
faster than his force could turn them ;
and while he was delighted at the phe
nomenal sale of his buggies, and thank
ed the generous public for their liberal
support of his home enterprise, yet
he needed a breathing spell. Rut re
ally we believe he would almost stop
breathing to sell you just oue more

A YOUNG LAWYER S MISTAKE.
i BY T. J. J., RKXf.GA.
There lived in a small country town
lin the- State of , a young man
who had just been admitted to the
bar. . .
He was not as r brilliant as some
young lawyers, but had tjie necessary
.cheek on him. He attended all the.
courts, whether he had any busiriess or
not. " » v;’ -
It happened one -Satuiday put he
was in attendance at a eerart:
It was about noon when he arrived,
and not having any business to attend
to lie amused himself as host he could
uutil court adjourned. When court
did adjourn the crowd liugered a while
talking about crops aud other matters.
There was an old gentleman present
who invited this young lawyer to go
out aud spend the night, with him, and
he accepted without much persuasion,
as it was about fifteen miles back
home, and he did not like the idea of
riding that far, for it was then nearly
irglit.
He found the old gentleman very
entertaining on almost any subject
mentioned. The old man had a beau
ful daughter, who had just entered her
eighteenth year. She was indeed very
beautiful, with black hair aud eyes,
fair skin, rosy cheeks, and of course
everything requisite to make a beauti-
ful young lady.
The young lawyer found no trouble
in winning her smiles with his flowing
tongue aud deceptive manner. He
found it quite agreeable to make his
visits exceedingly numerous. Every
Saturdry night found him there enjoy
iug a little tete a teto with the young
lady—telling her of his troubles, etc.
lie kept up his visits regularly, finally
proposed annd was accepted. But the
trouble was yet to come. lie had not
consulted the old gentleman about
marrying his duughter, and was rather
backward about so doing. He fiually
summed up euough courage to ash him
and he put the question to him,
fTH* . old gentleman answered in the
negative, which did not surprise him
in the least. He knew it would he no
use to try to persuade him to let him
marry his daughter. lie was going to
marry the young lady at all hazards,
and must prepare to elope if no other
way was possible.
They planned an elopement before
they parled the last time. She gave
him all necessary instructions, telling
him what room she would be found in.
He went home and made all necessary
arrangements for the elopement.
The idea of the elopement didn’t
! suit him at all, for he waH afraid he
1 would come in contact with the old
gentleman.
But he was not to be backed out by
an irate father. He left home in time
to get to the home of his intended
about eleven o’clock at night. After
arriving safe and sound he proceeded
to the house, and was very careful, lest
he should make the least noise and
awaken the old gentleman. lie left
his hoise and buggy some distance from
the house, so as not to be seen if the
old gentleman happened to be watch
ing for him. The agreement was that
she should meet him near the house, or
in the aforementioned room, iiut ho
did not find her waiting outside of the
house, and with a throbbing heart he
proceeded to the loom which he was
sure was the one she had told him she
slept in.
He went to the window aud looked
in, and saw what he took to be his in J
tended near the d oor. Ile beckoned
for her to come ahead, thinking all the
while that the old man was asleep. He
raised the wiudow and crawled in.
He was so excited he did not notice
the unnatural si/e of his intended, so
he slatted to assist her to get through
the window, but was met with a stun
ning blow in the lace which knocked
him to the floor.
“Oh, don’t do tint, darling,” he ex
claimed, thinking it was his intended.
“Who ver cad darliu’,” answered a
gruff voice. “I’ll learn you who to
call darliu’,” and with that the young
lawyer was shoved out at the wiud.uv,
striking the ground with a dull thud,
lie didn’t take time to investigate who
it was that threw him out of the win
dow, but has always believed it was
the old gentleman.
Reader, I leave it to you to decide
whether he made any mistake or not!
To know whether there be trua
worth in a man, ask bow he lias dealt
with his enemy.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Sense from BensevlUe.
The following from the New York
Journal of Commerce smtiffs like it
might IkiiVe oeCii Irliitoii iijr buluUiirli •
There is no to morrow for any liv
ing creature; the future is B 3 much
beyond our reach as the buried past.
It gives no cup of blessing, it adds not
a single opportunity for good or evil to
the struggling hand.
men could realize this they
would find instant release from the
great but den of fears and auxietiei
that sometimes make life intolerable.
Haw many there are who never went
without a full meal since the hour they
were born and yet worry every day
about to morrow’s dinner l lie who
made the heart and knows all its hid
den springs, has given the recipe for
present peace In the injunction we par
aphrase: “Ilaye up anxiety about to
morrow ; sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof.” If wo had the gift of
secoud sight and could look through
the hiding veil it would only increase
the cares that oppress U 3. It is a mer
ciful providence that mantles tho corn
rug hours and hides from our keonest
vision that which shall befall us. The
trustful spirit has the only secret of
contentment aud unbroken peaco.
“There is a lesson of practical
wisdom in these thoughts applicable to
the present hour. The financier whose
nerves are quivering because the Sec
retary of the Treasury is redeeming
the greenbacks with the gold laid by
these many years for this very purpose
is drawing on the future for his fear.
If the gold should ull be paid out, and
the demaud continue, the credit of the
United States government is ample .to
Heftll.the reserve and to inziyubi for,thy.
redemption till the last promise comes
in over the threshold. There is no
occasion to worry, since all the world
combined cannot bankrupt our people
nor exhaust our resources.”
An Editor in Trouble.
A n lowa editor has raised a hornet’s
nest about his ears and will probably
have to leave the state, all on account
of an accident in “making up” his pa
per. It seems there was a concert
given by the young ladies of the city,
aud the gallant young editor wrote it
up in splendid shape. The same day
he visited a herd of short horn cattle,
owned by a farmer in the vicinity, aud
he wrote up the cattle also. The
cross eyed foreman of the office got the
two articles mixed, as follows: “The
concert given last evening by sixteen
of Storm Lake’s most beautiful and
interesting young ladles was highly ap
preciated. They wire elegantly dress
ed and sang in a most charming man
ner, winning the plaudits of the entire
audience, who pronounced them the
finest short horns in the country. A
few of them are of a rich brown color,
| but the majority are spotted brown
and white. Several of the heifers
were fine bodied, tight limbed animals,
and promise to prove good property.”
The step that is quick and energetic
now will some day become slow and
unsteady ; the voice that is clear and
distinct now will become weak and :
trembling. Old age will comthe
body will become old aud worn out,
but the heart may be kept young and
fresh till death. IIow? Why, Iy be
ing cheerful and not brooding over the
mistakes and disappointments of the
past, by taking life as it comes, aud not
grieving if it does not go to suit y ■ .
Keep the heart young by having a
; cheerful word for every one you meet,
and a harsh word for none. Don't let
the disappointments of life rob your
! face of its cheery smiles, and you will
carry a youthful heart always.
