I soide.d gemly and went out of the
j loom, his face white -ind pa'o.
ri.e woman stood listening at his
J footsteps sounding down the stairway,
1 until she lioaid the street door hang.
Her face was slightly flushed, and the
‘ smile that had illumined her face in
the presence of the tuau. faded away,
ioaving her with a very scared look as
she sank back on tlie lounge and be
gaii to soliloquize as follows : --Didn’t
lie flush up, though, at first ? I he
lieve he was surprised at my answer,
hut surdy the booby couldn’t have ex
p cted it to he different. I don’t bup
»o»c he’ll care much about it, for he
asked me in such a cold, unemotional
inttiuer. just as if he were going
) through a few necessary formalities in
| a bargain that was already made, lie
. looked as if lie was sure of a salisfacto
;ry answer, but he could not have
■ bought I would marry him after know
ing him so loug.
"One should never marry one they
know well. I always said I would
marry an Apollo with an interesting
past that I knew nothing about, and no
one cpuld sav that John is handsome or
interesting, or anythiug but droll.
‘•Of course he looks well enough but
l never liked gray eyes, and my ideal
has dark brown, waving locks, which
doesn’t fit John’s closely cropped light
hair
"And then he has such a common
name, John Smith. I believe there is
about 6,000,000 Smiths in the United
States, aud all Ihe males are uamed
John except a few who are ealled Jack.
"Mrs. John Smith—the idea ! If
he was named something else it might
be different.
"Now, let me see how long John has
been making love to me in that ungain
ly fashion of his. I’ve known him all
my life, and he waa always giving me
apples at school and thrashing the
other boys about me.
"I don’t think I ever did care any
thing for him, though the girls at school
used to plague me to death about my
preference for him. I believe there
was a little silly talk between us once
when we were young, f remember
wlieu I gave him my picture he acted
real hilly. 1 guess that little promise I
made him then was what he alluded lo
this evening. 1 was but a siily school
girl then, aud he could not expect me
to be true to such a promise. I won
der if he has the picture yet.
"Somehow John never had that dash
and gallautry about him that wins a
girl’s heart, and that time when young
Simpkius insulted me ou the street, if
Augustine Pace had been with me he
would have knocked him down ou the
spot instead of taking me home, and
then hunting the fellow up for a quar
rel, and carrying a black eye for two
weeks, as John did.
"Of all the idiots who ever proposed
to me John was certainly the greatest.
-Just sat there and told me in that quiet
way of bis that he loved me. Didn’t
eveu venture to take my hand. Why,
when Algenon Delaplace proposed he
went down on his knees and wept aud
begged, and when I refused him he
threatened to blow his brains out. He
didn’t, though, I guess, for I saw him
yesterday taking that ugly wife of his
out for a ride.
“I like to see a man show some fire
and love on such occasions as this even
ing-
" Now, if John had proposed like
Charlie Griggs I might have considered
his proposal Charlie was so passion
ate. I never heard more eloquent and
earnest pleadings. He raved like a
madman when I gave him an answer.
I believe he did really care something
for me or lie wouldn’t have joined that
hoi rid filibustering expedition to Cuba
; and the poor boy died of yellow fever
two weeks after lauding. I hope I’m
j not responsible for it. Poor Charlie,
he wrote me such a pathetic letter just
before his death, so full of passionate
love. Of course I had Dr. Jaines to
fumigate it thoroughly before 1 read it.
"I hope John won’t feel so very bad
ly hurt about it. lie was always so
convenient to have around aud be
; wasn’t such a bore after all. Some
I times he had a touch of that indescrib
able something that attracts agaiust
the will, and he could talk so iuterest
; ingly if he hut wished. I will be very
- sorry ii he feels sore over my answer
But, pshaw ! I’ll wager that before a
week lie’ll be the same commonplace,
everyday, cousinly sort of fellow, send
j ing me theatre tickets and flowers, and
boiiifg me to death with his attenti u.
1 "But i* may never be the same, for
.McDonough, ga.. fuiday, august 2;;, isos.
John was Gways so proud. If he had
been a lilt!- different 1 might have
cared something for him, and of course
I don’t. He took it so quietly after
; the fi-sf flush. May ho he was a trifle
I pale and ho smiled so reproachfully,
lie have showed more feeling if
he had really love-1 me.
“I wonder what lie thinks of me.
•Jack Melton went' into a passion wheu
I reiit'.ed him and called ino a silly co
quetti and a heartless flirt, hut I'know
I’m neither. 1 never encouraged any
of them. At least no more than the
other girls.
"1 hope John don’t think I’m a flirt.
But why should 1 care what John
thinks ? It’s all over between us now.
i’ll ask hiiu tomorrow if he considers
me a coquette.
"But he may not come till Sunday.
It may take a few days for hitn to re
gain his normal state, lor he looked
just a sorter white. He was to carry
me for a ride Sunday afternoon and 1
was anticipating a nice time, for though
John may bo dull in a crowd, lie is a
most, happy conversationalist, when
there’s just us two. It will be so dull
all day Sunday without John. I wish
he had not asked me to mairy him
Then things would have gone ou just
the same, but I reckon it would have
come some time. If tie had only been
a little more dramatic and not so hum
drum, I might have accepted him, for
1 believe I did care something for him
after all.
“Poor John, I hope he is not angry
with me. I believe I’ll invite him
oyer to dinner tomorrow aud make it
up. We can be friends at least. But
how can I write the invitation ? He
is so proud it will only make matters
worse to send him a conventional iuvi
tat-ion.
"Oh, John ! 1 almost wish I had
given him a different answer. It will
be so lonesome now withoqt John
around to bother me. I can’t stand it,
to think that John will never be the
same to me again, and I may have to
see him showering his attentions on
some other girl. I’ll write for him to
come back this evemug, and—and if
he will only bo moro earuest I may
change iriy answer ”
Tlio woman reached for a peu and
paper and wrote the following :
Mr. John Smith—Dear John —I
have been moved by the recollections
of the past to reconsider my answer to
your proposal of this evening. 1 will
be at homo to you at 6 p. m.
Your Own G rack.
Site enclosed the sheet in an envel
ope, addressed it, aud threw down the
pen. “There, that will do, 1 guess.
Dear John sounds quite warm, right
after my decided action of this evening.
But then John will understand me.
He always does. I’ll have to break
my engagement with that self loving
bore, Marion Bradley, for the theatre
tonight for John will stay late I know.
There, I hear brother Jack’s steps on
the stairs now. I’ll ask him to run
hack and post this letter, for it will
soon be time for tbe postman.’’
-She arose and wa’.sed to the hall,
called her brother, saying as she handed
him the letter : -‘Here, Jack, take this
letter aud post it, please.”
The youug man took the letter,
glanced at the superscription and ex
claimed : "Why! Grace, haven’t you
heard ?”
"Heard wliat?” she asked.
“Smith is dead. Clyde Gilmer, his
room mate, found him dead in his room
at the Lamar home 20 minutes ago.
He suicided by hanging himself from
the gas jet.”
"The girl stood quiet and still. She
could see that she was very pale, for
she was standing directly in front of
a large mirror. Sho only hoped Jack
wouldn’t notice, for this love she had
concealed from herself until now must
he kept from the world, and though
she could feel the pain in het heart as
if a dull knife was tearing its way
through it, she smiled aud asked,
"Some k>vß affair I suppose? Was
there any clue to his reasons ?”
“None, except he held tightly clasped
j i his hand the picture of a young
girl,” Jack replied.
She could hardly stifle the sobs, but
she must not let Jack know it. She
reached for the letter and said, “I will
take it back. It was only an invitation
to dinner tomorrow. John selected
quite a trite and gru -some method of
quitting life. He might have shot
himself at least, but then he was al
ways so commonplace.”

What use is there in eatiug when
food does you no good—-in fact, when
it does you more harm than good, for
such is the case if it is not digested.
If you have a loathing for feod there
is no use of forcing it do#n, for it will
not be digested. You mitst restore the
digestive organs to tfceir natural
strength and cause the food to be
digested, wheu an appetite will come,
aud with it a relish for food.
The tired, languid feeling will give

A Few Facts.
The best horses ever driven in Early
county woro raised here. It cost* but
little more to raise a mule here than a
cow; yet Early county pays out an
nually, for tnulcs and hores, twenty
thousaud dollars. ,
Corn can be made here at a cost of
not more than tweuty cents per bushel :
yet Karly county pays out annually,
for coru, ten thousaud dollars.
Meat can be raised here as cheaply
as anywhere on earth; yet Early coun
ty pays out annually, for meat, fifty
five thousaud dollars.
Oats can be made here at less cost
than corn; yet there was sold in
Blakely alone over one thousaud bush
els, for seed, this yeat.
Hay can be made here of us good
quality and at less than balf the cost
of that brought from Kentucky ; yet
tweuty carloads have been brought to
Early county this year.
Whisky, to say nothing of its crim 'B,
costs the people of Early county an
nually more than thirty thousand dol
lars in actual cash.
With these facts staring us iu the
face, what need we expect but hard
times—“no money in the country ?"

j Corn and Peas Versus .Silver Legisla
tion.
Some years ago when politicians la
gan to disciiNH the m >ney question, »
few ef us through local papers began
to hrge the fanners to plant poas and
corn instead -il i portion of their
cotton.
A few tried it, and the experiments
proved so satisfactory, that when the
] lit Xt season eatnn around many others
followed the example.
those counties (we withhold their
names for the present) were devoted
to cotton almost exclusively and their
lands, like thetobocco lands of Virgin
ia, wore almost exhuust-d of nitrates
and potash.
Excessive use ol phosphates and
clean cotton culture had almost entirely
dtstroyed the humus aud consequently
the nitrification micro!)r. F- w roots
were left in the soil to prevent washing
and hence even the swamp ditches
were filled and the bottom lands were
rendered almost worthless.
In less than five years, a great
change for the belter was effected ; iu
the first place, hy largely substituting
peas and corn for cotton ; secondly,
farmers begun to realize that oats pro
duced a very cheap and valuable crop
to supplement the coni; and, later still,
they became convinced that bermuda
grass in the proper position would
prove a valuable friend rather than an
uncompromising enemy.
Last year, those counties which had
foimsrly imported nearly all of their
corn aud bacou, produced some corn to
sell to their neighbors and sent a few
carloads of hay to distant markets.
This year, we are informed, that
they have some corn to spare to the
northwest aud may he able to supply a
few carloads of pork to the Cincinnati
market.
Iu additiou to this, several dairies
have been started which are now fur
nishing the sweetest butter ever sold iu
city markets. Not timothy and clover
butter but a richer product from peas
and Bermuda grass.
Again, we learn that the farmers in
these counties have greatly reduced
their indebtedness and that two more
years will place them square with the
world.
IViiut will they than care about nil
ver or gold, free silver or anything
else ? They can then live at home,
feeding aud clothing themselves,—Ex.

Interrupted the Witness.
Some time aiuee, in Southwest Geor
gia, a murder case was being tried be
fore a certain Judge. The State’s at
torneys had seen the shooting, and they
had an old negro on the witness stand.
The uegro was intensely interested iu
the story he was telling. His big eyes
wore fixed upon the lawyer who was
questioning him, and he seemed to
think there was no other person in the
room. He wus trembling with excite
ment, so much so that he stammered,
and ho told his story as if he was hav
iug a strictly private and confidential
conversation with the State’s attorney.
“An’ den, boss,” he said, in solemn
and awe-struck tones, “j-j-jea' ez I war
a cornin’ reuu’ de coruah, sah, I see
him ’long o’ de lamp pos’. I— ’’
“WJiat time was this ?" asked the
Judge.
The witness paused just for a socoud,
us if something had disturbed him ; but
then, without turning his head, he went
on :
*‘J-j-jes’ as 1 war a cornin’ roun’ de
coruah, boss, 1 seen him ’long o’ de
lamp pos’. I—”
The Judge rapped the desk before
him smaitly with his gravel.
“Stop!’’ he said. “The court is
asking you a question. At what time
did you come arouud the corner ?’’
Again the witness stopped and made
a motion with his hands as if he was
brushing away a fly from his ear, but
he never turned arouud, and again
started to tell bis story.
“Kz 1 wuz a sayiu’, boss, I rounded
dat dah coruah, an’ I seen him ’long o’
de—”
The Judge brought his mallet down
with a noise which almost causod the
witness to leap off the stand, au3
roared e*dWb*B|MW'f®w|
“What do you mean, sir ? If you do
not answer ray question instantly I
shall commit you !”
The witnoss turned, faced the court,
and said in deprecatory tones :
“L-! look er yere, boss, doau’ you
see I’m talkin’ to dis gen’man ?”
The lawyers were almost convulsed
with laughter, the Judge bent his bead
and shook with merriment, and the
witness was allowed to finish his story
undisturhed.—Atlanta Coustitution.

A western editor, says Newspaper
dom, is said to have hit upon a plan to
keep subscriptions paid up, that takes
the cake. Every time a delinquent
subscriber is mentioned in his paper
his name is inverted. For example :
“uqop souop and wife are spending a
few days in New York.” Every other
subscriber understands what it means,
and there is a grand rush to get right
side up again.
