J 1’. Newton is experimenting iu
the value of kafir com as a long for¬
age. The corn grows tall and thiok.
and stock eat up all of the stalk and
lelish it. A small puteh will feed a
horse all summer. If the farmers
would plant it in abundance and
crush it with a machine and cure it,
they could easily store away enough
lo feed their stock all winter. Farm¬
ers would do well to consider the kafir
corn.
The congregation at the Baptist
church was uot unusually small, but
the distance was not at all enoourag-

nearer the gospel. Save two pilgrim
on each side, the amen corners were
vacant. The mimstor told them of

It has not been long since Ashburn
was so full of formality, egotism and
oritioism that you could not fmtlo out
of ouccorner of the month, or wear a
brass button or a nosegay without
running the ri-k of being buttonholed
and being asked it you were doing
that to the glory of God, and having
a sermon apparel preach d you on vanity inop* and
costly Our at Bible a time most tell
portunc. does not us
not to smile or try to look decent;
tuercforc we feel justifiable m advis¬
ing the young folks that it is a Chris¬
tian like that privilege to enjoy Mrs life. A Futch party
one given by L O
Monday night Is elevating to the
young mind, and leads more toward
heaven than the other place. Such
work takes the place of a missionary,
and leads more souls to the church
than someof the meetings designed do to
be more sacred, mis. Futch will
cxoelleni work for the Loid if she re¬
moves from the minds of some of our
young the simple error that it is a sin
to laugh and grow fat. Toe church
has its work; the social gatherings
have their work, and even the printer
and the blacksmith can do their work
religiously and in a way that will be
pleasant to tbe lookers on. Those who
oppose social gat tiering* often throw
a damper unawares on the love of
oar Makor. Now a word to i be young:
If I was a mule I would flop my ears
and be stubborn. If I was a nice young
man or a pretty girl 1 would submit
to the wishes of my entertainers and
uot put upon them the hardship of re¬
gretting that I had been invited. I
would not sit in a secluded corner
sandwiched with others of my sex and
refuse to move when moving would
add to the pleasure of the occasion;
neither would I plant myself against
the wall like a statute and
lot people read, “Saor d to the memory
of what I might have been” in my
oountenanoc. I would not go with
the mistaken idea that they desired
nothing but my beautiful form to fill
space. Borne of the young folk* of
this town are so extremely modest that
they will not drink water iu company
because the thyroid oartilegc (guzzle)
moves up and down when they swal¬
low Some havo a good deal to learn.
Others will never learn it.
Married in the WoodB.
J. Q. Ward and Miss Eula Hill
were married in the woods back
of tbe old cemetery Biinday even¬
ing I about B o'clock.
It was a runaway ma’ch, and
they intended to keep it a secret
six months, but a well-known
citizen of Ashburn who was out
taking his evening stroll and en¬
joying shades of the scenery and cool
the pine forest, stood a
short way off and observed the
performance. - -
It seems that the young couple
became lovers at Dakota last
Sping where she was teachiug.
lie is a fruit tree agent from Up-
sou county; she is a farmer’s
daughter living a mile from town.
When her sohool was out he vis¬
ited her at her country home,
and love found its way. Her
father objected. Last week Mr.
Ward visited the Hill home,
spent .Saturday night there, and
took Miss Hiil to the Free Will
Baptist church Sunday. Miss
RosaCroom went homo with them
for dinner, and was taken in con¬
fidence. Sunday evening the
three went riding, came to Ash¬
burn, and the man left the two
girls with hunting the buggy and be went
about ’Squire McArthur.
Arranging the matter *> ith the
’Squire, M r. Ward returned to
the buggy and drove around and
came in toward the old cemetery,
while tho ’Squire walked leisurely
out that way and they met down
by tbe branch east of the old cem¬
etery. The three sat in the bug-
gy—ono girl in the other’s lap-
while Justice McArthur stood on
the ground and performed the
marriage ceremony for Mr. Ward
and Miss Hill. They obligated
each other to keep the marriage a
profound secret for six months.
Mr. Ward and his bride took
Miss Groom to her boarding
place, teaching, J. P. Newton’s, and returned where to she the
is
Hill home and spent Sunday
night, giving nothing away.
Monday morning Mr. Ward went
away, bad happened. leaving her as if nothing
The man who was looking came
to town and let out tbe secret.
Why they wanted the marriage
to remaiu a secret six months iB
not known. A reporter for the
Advance was dispatched to Miss
Groom Tuesday evening, but she
refused to talk, saying Bhe bad
promised not to tell. She would
not answer any questions concern¬
ing tbe marriage whatever.
Theu we sent a man to the father
of ths bride, and he said they
married away from home because
he would uot let. them marry at
home. The groom has gone his
way. The bride is at her fath¬
er’s or with some of her lady
friends iu the settlement. During
tbe six mouths of secrecy she was
to teach a fall term of school at
Dakota.
