Two Flcturea of Yount; Married People,
Tempest, Sunshine, Tears.
Young married people are proverbial for their little
outbreaks of temper towards each other. Perhaps
not since the marriage of Adam and Eve has a case
occurred when the honeymoon was free from such
(bulitions. They are as natural as it is for apples
to grow on trees. As a general tiling, too, they are
harmless, and serve rather to increase the affection
of the newly married couple than to diminish it,
letter in married life, such outbreaks might cause
serious disagreements, but iu the honeymoon they
are but mists that rise in a moment aud are as
quickly dispelled.

A Practical Joke Frightens a Ncuro Out of
Ills WU*.
There are two men in tho employment of Mr. J.
J. Clay who believe in ghosts. Ono of them is
tieorge Brooks, the cemetery keeper, and the other
is Jim Jemison, colored, who is employed iu the
undertaking t > stablishuu , ut on Blu.berry ntn ot.
Several moutUs ago an old white woman, long a
cripple, died. She liked Mr. Clay, and having no
other means of testifying her regard for him willed
him her crotches. They wore brought to *be store,
where they have since remained.
Soon after tho old wnjpau’a death, Brooks was in
the room in the rear of the store shaving. When
he had completed about half of the operation he
uttered an exclamation of fright aud rsu to the
front of the store, declaring that he had seen the
old womau's ghost. So amount of perhuasion
could couvince uim that ho was mistaken. He said
that he knew a ghost when ho saw' it, and that th
old woman’s spook had certainly becu iu the rea
room bunting for the crutches that hud been willed
to Mr. Clay.
Jemison heard Brooks’s assertions, and believed
them to be true. Afterw ard, ho could not be in
duced to stay in the back part of the store aloue
after nightfall. When dosing up time arrived, bo
would got somebody to go to tue tear window* with
him. Upon several occasion*!, he told Dennis
Keating. Mr. Clay's assistant, that he had seen the
ghost of the old wpmsn, each time his eyes nearly
popping out of his head from fright.
Keating determined to play a practical joke on
Jemison, and selectffl Saturday night for the occa
sion. He kept Jemison at the store until after dark,
aud then told him to go back and close up the rear
windows. Jemison requested a bootblack who ass
standing at the front door to go with him.
“No," said Keating. “I waut this boy to block my
shoes."
Unable to obtain assistance, Jemison reluctantly
went back to close up tbe windows.
“Now,” said Keating to the bootblack, "you go
back among the coffins near the rear room, and
when Jemison comes out, rattle them together."
The bootblack did aa he was bid, while Keating
kept up a conversation intended to moke Jemison
believe that tbe boy waa still at work at tbe front
door.
When Jemison finished closing the windows and
came out, the bootblack rattled tbe coffins loudly.
W ith a scream heard a block away, Jemison dashed
through tbe store and out of the door, not stopping
until ho reached the middle of tbe street. Keating
induced Uim to return after much persuasion, but
ho would not enter tbe store. His hair stood on
end and his skin was of sn ashen hue. He declared
that the ghost of the old woman jumped out of a
coffin and grabbed him.
Jemison does uot yet know that ho was the victim
of a practical Joke.

Some Curious Superstitions Which Origi
nated Among the Negroes.
A student of negro folk lore gave a Tflrobavh
reporter some interesting information, yesterday
morning, concerning the superstitious of the ne
groes about Hunday.
“Before the war." he said, “the negroes hod po-
rnliar notion- atout the punishment for Hablwth
breaking. I remember that when a boy of eight,
my old nurse used to keep me in constant terror of
violating the Habbatb. by relating to me the dire
punishments which she claimed to know had beeu
visited uV>n wicked violators of the fourth corn-
maudmeut."
“What offenses were considered most heinous?"
'•Hunting and fishing. The negroes thought
hunting and fishing cn Sunday unpardonable sins.
At the close of the war, when every negro spent tho
first money he earned to provido himself with a
gun and an umbrella, bunting was bis favorite
amusement. In (favery times, he envied the whites
the privilege of hunting more than any other ono
thing: and, as soon aa u« obtained his freedom, ho
ranged the woods aud fields at his sweet will, sn

Georgia Chill Remedy
Chills and fevers have for years affected thou
sand*. and will continue to do so until the merits of
Hall’s Georgia Chill Remedy become known. This
is no patent humbng nostrum, but the result of tbe
experience of a quarter of a century in compound
ing and manufacturing drugs in our Honthern cli
mate. I have cured myself aud thousands of oth
ers of chronic chills after they had for a long time
resisted the efforts of able physicians and quinine
bad ceased to have any effect. One bottle In all
cases of less than six mouths standing will effect a
pe*manent cure, Iu that time a sufferer would
spend double the amonntforaninine and yet not b«
cured. 1 append a few certificates showing what it
has accomplished—thousands could bo obtained if
desired.
Judge Thomas J. Simmons, Judge of tho Superior
Court of the Macon circuit, was cured of chills and
fever by the use of Hall’s Georgia Chill Remedy.
