A city gentleman was recently in
vited down to the country for “a
day with the birds,’, says the Tatt
ler. Whatever his powers in finance,
his shooting was not remarkable for
its accuracy, to the great disgust of
(he man in attendance, whose tip
was generally regulated by the size
of the bag. “Dear me,” at last ex
claimed the sportsman, “but the
birds seem exceptionally strong on
the wing this year.”
“Not all of ’em sir,” came the re
mark. “You’ve shot at the same
bird about a dozen times. ’E’s a
follerin’ you about, sir."
“Following me about! Nonsense!
Why should a bird do that ?"
“Well, sir,” came the reply, “I
dunno, I'm sure, unless e’s ’angin"
’round you for safety."
A Congressional committee
went to portland. Ore., to assist,
in the opening of the Exposition
on June 1st last.
There was a parade in the
morning, in which all the visit

The local committee brought Portland the
carriages around to the
Hotel. The scheme was to have
two Senators or Representatives
and two local men in each car
riage. President and
After the Vice
his party had been sent away, a
Portland notable, who was acting
as a majordotno, came into the

statesmen were waiting and

of course employed his neighbor, After
the juage as his counsel. a
session-of court he. met the judge
and asked about his case. The,
judge said it was continued. Meet
ing him again, after another session,
and asking again about his case, the
same answer was given.
As it cost .$2 or $3 each time it
was continued, the doctor thought
by the time it was settled after pay

Some time afterward the judge was
afflicted with a felon, and of course
employed his neighbor, the doctor.
After suffering awhile, he met the

Bill Aickley had a fine brown
mare of which he took the greatest
care, says the Green Bag. Last
June to San Rafael there came a
man, John Mersfelder by name, who
took the mare to Sausaleet, to pull
ice wagons on the street. But
when he hitched her up, they say,
he found she pulled the other way.
So back to San Raefael he went.
“I’ve brought you back your balky
mare,” said John, “she’d cause a
saint lo swear, You guaranteed
that she would pull, that she was
strong and powerful, but now she’ll
neither run nor walk ; all that she’ll
do is stand and, balk—and so it na
turally toilers I'd like to have my
sixty dollars”
“Come off,” said Bill, (hat talk
don’t go.”
“Well, neither does the mare, you
know,” said John, “and so you’ll
have to pay, or else I’ll find another
way.”
The irate couple , now you see be
fore the justice, Bill Magee, who
heard the facts, reserved decision,
but made this provision :
“The court, unable to decide, he
hind the mare will take a ride. Now,
should she pull so great a weight,
and should not balk, my course is
straight. But il the law can t make
her go, why William must refund
the dough.’
The case is still in statu quo.

An Eloquent Response. * y ,
I -
In responding for the
after their presentation to tie . I
erans at the reunion tent on
day night, Miss Grace Lumpkin of
Columbia spoke as follows :
“Confederate Veterans, Daughters
of the Confederacy, and Sons of
Veterans:
“For the sponsors and maids of
honor we thank you for this wel
come. We are proud to meet with
the Confederate soldiers, and take
part with them in their reunions.
We have a right to come and meet
with the bravest men that ever wore
a battle flag or sung a battle song.
We are daughters of these men, we
are your daughters, Confederate
soldiers, and when you meet to tell
the story of your deeds and live
over again those four years of storm
and grief and battles and graves, our
place is by your side, our duty to
hold your hand in ours, and catch
into our souls the story that has
made your lives immortal.
“To hear von tel! of the cause
that was right, is right now and
will be forever right. We are your
daughters, your wrongs victories, are our
wrongs, your charges, your
your triumphs are ours, your wounds
and your scars and the graves out
yonder are ours, your land is our
land, and wherever you may find a
soldier of the Confederacy, gray
haired and battle-scarred, you will
find his daughter as loyal to the
cause he fought for_ as he himself
can ever be.
“It may be that there are some
who would say leave out all spon
sors and sons of veterans. My fa
ther was a confederate soldier and I
heard his comrades say that he nev
er failed to do his duty, and I want
to say here tonight that one word
from him would make me stay away
from the reunion of these brave
men, but if he did not speak it then

our hearts for them are monuments
of love higher than earthly hands
can build from earthly marble. Say
now, Confederate soldiers, where is
your daughters’ place, if not by
your side in your reunions. The
Confederate soldier comes of a race
that holds to honor,and charity and
truth. His last dollar will

Obituary.
Mrs. Jane Isabel Rhodes, be
loved wife of N. H. Rhodes, of
Statesboro, passed into that un
discovered country from whose
bourne no traveler returns,on the
20th of May, I9<H5. being 68 years
of age. She was born and raised
in Colleton county, S. O., was
buried at Little Horse Creek
church, where she was formerly
a member. A beautiful funeral
service was performed by Rev.
H. S. McCall, her present pastor
of Bay Branch church, of which
she was a member at the time of
her death. She leaves a devoted
husband and five daughters,
three sons, oue sister and two
brothers'to mourn her loss. Mrs.
J. G. Fries, Mrs. J. E. Pomeroy,
and Mrs. W. H. Cohen, of Screv

Mr. Thomas Grayson, of Guyton,
A. B. Grayson, near Augusta,
Miss Sophie Grayson, of States
boro. She leaves thirty
grand children and other relatives
and friends by the score.
She died as she had lived,
trusting wholly in -lesus. So sad
it. was for the children to give up
their precious mother, all .of
whom were at her bedside for a
week or more, doing all that
loving hands could do, but to no
avail. In her death a husband
has lost a faithful wife, children
have lost a loving mother, the
entire community a kind, helpful
friend and neighbor, and tie
church has lost an earnest and
consecrated member. P.ut she
leaves her impress for good, and
her godly life has set in motion
influences that will quicken, in-

God gaveth and God taketh

God. While she is no longer

know all things work together
for good to them that love Him.
When not providentially kept

To vonder shining shore.
