The junior print stated in the last
week’s issue of the Gazette th:>. the
printers of this shop had retired from
the matrimonial campaign until next
fall. I take this method of informing
the fair sex that, so far as I am con
cerned, the statement is untrue in
toto. lam in the field—a stereotype
candicate, and expect to remain so
until duly elected, and one vote is all
that is required. Don’t all speak at

One of the most lamentable deaths
that has occurred in this vicinity in
quite a while was witnessed the 19th
of January at three o’clock, Miss
Fannie Rice, who lived with her
father in Madison county She was
vi.iling her grand-mother in Elbert
county when she was taken sick.
One week ago we met Miss Fannie
enjoying a horseback ride with her
aunt, and only a few hours thereafter
she was seized by that dreadful dis
ease pneumonia, and to-day she lays
beneath the clay.
Miss Fannie was a lovely girl of
bright intellect, and was about seven
teen years old. She did not belong
to any church, but our honest opin
ion is she crossed the river safe. Her
little brother came to her bed side,
the grasped his hand, repeated the
Lord’s prayer and then called her
father and aunt to her and told them
to meet her in heaven. Said she was
ready to go to her savour who reigned
above, then the death angel came
with her hitter pain and took her to
her home of bliss "where she shall
reign forever with her master who,
doeth all things well.
Her parents and many friends have
our heartfelt sympathy. Now r , to
both young and old, let us remember
that the young may die and the old
must, and let us all be ready when
the bridegroom comes. “Be ye also
ready, for ye know not the day or the
hour when the son of man conieth.”

I Where Woman is Appreciated.
A gentleman from Buenos Ayers
informs a Chicago journal that there
is a great chance for spinsters in the
Argentine Republic. The word
“chance” is hardly deferential enough
as used in such connection; hut the
kindly motive which prompts the in
formation will make amends for such
a slip in phraseology. It appears
that there are about sixteen men to
one woman there, so that in the fierce,
competition for helpmeets by the
men of Argentinia not even age is
spared. It is gratifying to note that
there is one fair republic on the face
of the earth where marriage is not
only not a failure, but is a positive
and blooming success, and it is equally
gratifying 10 note that it is exempt
from ilie fluctuant, unstable quality
which has lately made the financial
system of that same republic a tale of
woe for the money kings of Europe.

The widow of Oust >r says that
lie was the first of American .'iriLiy offi
cers to experiment on the rattlesnake 1
as an entree. His cook prepared the
dinner under protest, anil as tho gen
eral was eating the dainty lie saw the
alarmed negro cautiously peering in
through a crack in tho tent, doubtless
expecting to see his master drop down
in a lit. Of another man's aversion to
snakes Mrs. Custer says:
“One of the officers was terribly
afraid of snakes. When ho was a child
one had wrapped itself about his body,
and so unnerved him that be nover re
gained his courage. Every one laughed
at him; no one lost an opportunity to
tease him; but being a fearless rider,
hunter and fighter ho could afford to
endure the taunts of his comrades.
“Among our pets was a strange little
owl that had been dug out of a hole,
where it and the rattlesnake and prairie
dog liad lived in a kind of co-operative
housekeeping. It made usound almost
exactly like that of the rattlesnake.
“Our water bucket had a cover fitted
upon it as a protection against the ob
trusiveness of the dogs. As there was
no box convenient, the owl was placed
in the empty bucket. One of our favor
ite tricks was purposely to occupy every
seat, the bed, chairs, etc., as the officer
who so hated snakes was seen approach
ing tin? tent.
“lie was welcomed effusively, and the
bucket being the only seat vacant ho
of course took it. Then the disturbed
owl began to 'rattle, ’ and the way in
which the officer bounded into space
called forth shrieks of laughter, lie was
one of the athlete's of the regiment, but
ho jumped belter now than ho had ever
been known to do at any of our Fourth
of July celebrations, when trials of
strength and skill were always in or-
