‘T rememben Grant’s wedding well,”
said Mr. Darby. ‘‘Old man Dent met
me on Third street, and asked me to
come around as Julia was going to be
married to a fellow named Grant; so
when I got home I asked my wife if
she wanted to go to a wedding.”
‘‘Where ?” said she.
“Julia Dent’s,” said T. “She is go
ing to marry a man named Grant.”
“I s’pase we might an well go,” says
she.
“It wasn’t much of a wedding. A
Methodist minis'er performed the cere
mony.”
“Did they have a wedding tour ?”
asked the reporter.
“Well, no; they didn’t have any
money, and the walking those days
wasn’t very good. So they just stayed
at home.”

Cabalistic signs have a’ways had a
great interest for the inquiring mind
eyer since the days of Adam and Eve,
The Egyptians have their mummi- s
obelisks and pyramids covered with
such, and many a learned person has
tried in vain to solve their meaning.—
Even in the excavations of Pompeii
numbers of weir d, uncouth signs and
characters, which, it they could be so'v
ed, would prove, perhaps, that the
forefathers of Geo. 0. Robinson, the
c 1« brated piano and organ dealer of
Augusta were in the same business
and tha' he w a s but following out, in
detail, with his enigmatical and puz
zling letters, the same style of attract
ing notice to his business. Persons
have been known to be taken down sick
and some have reached lunatic asylums
on trying to solve the meaning of the
various letters that he has used on fence
boards, dead walls, house tops, in news
papers, in ciiculars, and no doubt if
you were to look closely, you would
see such at the top of Stone Mountain.
Prizes of no mean value have been of
fered, which set tbe people of the West
and South puzzling their brains to dis
cover their correct meaning. First ap
peared “L. P. Q. S.”—that bothered
them. Then came “T. M. H. 0. T.

Shortly after appeared “E. I. 0. M.”
It wts thought that these letters might
stand for “every instrument our make,”
but they did not. Then the world had
given them *G, H. U ” and that has j
been the mys ery for a long time, and |
even now people lose sleep thinking I
of what it can mean. Until Mr. Rob
