ADAM’S APPLE.
An Old Story Told In a
New Style.
[bv shifting shades.]
While sojourning in the neighbor
hood of the postoffioe tbe other after
noon I chanced to meet with Uncle
Josh. Knowing the old darkie to be
full of Biblical sayings and crude hu
mor, to the old man I said :
“Uncle Josh, can you tell us why
women are always found to be better
than we poor devils?”
At the indre mention of woman IJn
cle. Josh displayed to view a set of
gnashers that would have more than
done justice to a Pagan God and with
a-knowing look replied :
“Wall boss, I duario as I ’grees wid
you dar.”
I was a little astonished at this re
mark, knowing well that women were
his ohief weakness—or strongness—I
should have said, the old man having
two or three dozen living wives, sol
said:
“Why how, or what do you mean by
not agreeing with me Uncle Josh?”
“AVall boss, does you know when de
Lawd put Marse Adam and Miss Eve
in de garden ob Eden dere was a tree
of furbidden fruit in dere?”
“Yes! I have heard fejlows say there
was anyway.”
Ignoring my little attempt at wit he
continued:
“One day Miss Eve slips off from
Marse Adam an’ goes to dat tree. She
would stan’ roun’ here an’ look at de
furbidden fruit an’ her mouf would
run water for to taste ob it, but she
asscart.”
•‘Well! well! Uncle Josh.” said I,
‘ ‘you’are one on me there.”
“Yas sar, she was seart, but de debil
was quiled up In de grass close by an’
he tells Miss Eve to jist take one bite
ob dat fruit an’ she would be de great
est ’oman jn de whole world.”,
“(Juite true,” I said. “But if this
was the case the devil didn’t lie at all
therd, as I have heard that Eve had no
rivals.”
“Uncle Josli was a little in doubt as
to whether “Davy” deserved any cred-
sel fhtj proceeded:
“M'iss Eve at the debils invertasliun
jest helped hersef to de fruit ob sin.
Took a bait ob it.”
“But,” said I, “where was Adam all
the while his Wife was enjoying these
good things?”
“Oh, boss! dats it. Marse Adam was
looking ebrywhar for Miss Eve and he
finally foun’ her atde furbidden tree.”
“You don’t say so! I suppose that
was the first family row on record.”
“Wall somepen like dat boss. You
see Marse Adam was so out done dat
he hardly knowed what he was doin’.
When he seed Miss Fve swallering
down dat fruit ob sin he looses his
senses.”
Uncle Josh looked as if he knew
what a fellow would be capable of do
ing at this critical moment, but con
tinued the narative.
“Miss Eve was such a purty. little
gal, an’ so gentle line dat when she
seed dat Marse Adam was mad she
jest commenced to cry an’ put one lit
tle dimpled arm roun’ his neck an’ she
took de piece ob apple dat she hadn’t
quite finished an’ pushed it in Marsb
Adam’s mouf.”
“Coaxed him to it, eh, Uhele Josh?”
“Wall yes, boss. Marse Adam sho’
couldn’t stan’ dat sort ob treatment,
so he tries to swaller it down—dat
fruit ob sin—but it wouldn’t go. He
tried to choke it down, but it struck in
his throat.”
“ You don’t mean to say so,” said I.
“Yas sir. It stuck in his throat, an’
to dis day you kin see de sign of vvhar
Marse Adam lodged dat furbidden
fruit in de throats ob ail men while de
’omens throat show dat Miss Eve swal
lered it down as slick as butter.”
I accepted the theory of Uncle Josh
as one founded on facts and after treat
ing him to a smoke for the instructive
sermon, strolled away a wiser if not a
better man.”

School Exhibition.
The closing of tne public school term
at the Blue Springs academy was made
the occasion for a most delightful ex
hibition. This has been a most pros
perous year for that school and the
highly creditable work done there by
Prof. David S. Lafflitte bespeaks for
him a place among our best teachers.
An unusually bright and pleasant pro
gram had been arranged and the differ
ent recitations, interspersed with nice
music, were well given and highly en
joyed. Every effort wos worthy of
the best commendation, and while
space forbids,giving a full account of
each one, the welcome address of Mr.
Thes. L. Eneeks and the recitations of
the Misses Morgan , of Tampa, deserve
special mention.
The prize for spelling, won by Miss
Annie Mallard, was awarded in a few
well chosen and felicitious words by
Col. A. S. Anderson.
The closing speech of the morning
exercises by the Kev. K. K. Norman
was happily expressed as a combina
tion of wit. eloquence, common sense
and religion. As a minister aud a man
Mr. Norman is well liked and highly
respected by the people here.
The dinner hour having been an
nounced over 500 people were fed upon
the richest viands, ice cream and lem
onade. The best of humor prevailed
and the dinner will long be remem
bered.
At 1:30 o’clock the school bell again
called the visitors together, and while
the organist played some very appro
priate music, five hundred or more
people were seated in the large and
commodious building. The principal
then introduced one of Screven’s
brightest and most rapidly rising young
men. In fact this, his home county, is
proud to claim him as tier son, and he
has already, though young in years,
made quite gratifying achievements as
a teacher and a lawyer and also a jour
nalist, and his addresj on this occas
ion on education was unanimously
considered by all who were so fortun
ate as to hear him as a masterpiece of
logic arrd eloquence. His experience
as a teacher, and what a teacher should
be together with the laws that now ex
ist and should be enacted to promote
higher ei'UohJioii ... abb's
his ideas on literature held the large
audience spellbound for over an hour
though the day was exceptionally
warm.
Following this address Prof. Roland
Johnston, the genial good Scotchman
and loyal Reb., captured the audience
and for nearly two hours he held their
rapt attention. His hoary locks and
dignified demeanor were more than
supported by his words of wisdom
spoken to the fathers and mothers.
Prof. Johnston won many friends and
admirers, and no one else could have
filled the place of this grand old man
and teacher.
A short closing talk was made by
Eev. II. J. Arnett and the closing
prayer by Rev. J. Blount.
In the school and social history of
that section will the occasion be re
membered for many years. Everyone
voted Prof. Laffitte their heartiest
thanks for a day of so much entertain
ment and
Look Pleasant, Please.
Photographer 0. C. Harlan, of
Eaton, O., can do so now, though
for years he couldn’t, because he
suffered untold agony from the
worst form of indigestion. All
physicians and medicines failed
to help him till he,tried Electric
Bitters, which worked such won
ders for him that he declares
tney are a godsend to sufferers
from dyspepsia and stomach
troubles. Unrivaled for diseases
of the Stomach, Liver and Kid
neys, they build up and give new
life to the whole system. Try
them. Only 50c. Guaranteed by
