Newnan, Ga., Friday* November 9, 1888.
A Wild Western Wedding.
Yonkers Statesman.
It appears that one Jonas Burton had
been chosen Justice of the Peace of one
of the small Wyoming towns, not be
cause he was possessed of any special
qualifications for the office, but on ac
count of his personal magnetism, which
had about it all those qualities which go
to make the yellow dog a thing of beau
ty and a joy forever to the lovers of
pure cussedness. Among other func
tions of his office Hon. Jonas one day
found himself called upon to join in
“bonds of padlock,” as matrimony is
sometimes called in the West, a raw
young couple from up the country.
Ilis honor was appalled at the situa
tion. lie could commit a horse thief to
the gallows with all the elegance and
impressiveness of manner which that
act demanded. He could sentence a
man to jail for life for holding live aces
in his hand at poker, wit hout turning a
hair, but as to “man-yin’ folks, he
wasn’t in it, be goshlemitey!” But, as
Justice of the Peace he had to do it,
and his perturbation of spirit was dread
ful to witness;
About an hour before the ceremony
was to take place the correspondent,
accompanied by one of the leading citi
zens of the place, a Mr. Stiles, was sent
to the ’Squire’s cabin and found him
poring over a large volume of the stat
utes of Wyoming, sweating like a horse
and looking terribly anxious. After
greeting the callers, he said:
“Stiles, the durncd galoots that got
up these laws hadn’t gumption enough
to last them over nigh?. I’ve run
through the blamed book a half dozen
times, an’ can’t find a doublasted word
about matermony, or how the hitchin’
process is proceeded with. I’ve just, got
to put the clamps on this couple, hit or
miss, an’ ef I don’t yoke ’em up legal I
can’t help it.”
“Oh,” said Stiles, “just do the best
3-011 can. Any kind of ceremony will
do in this country, for people never
question the. legality of the thing. I’ll
post you as well as I can.”
Stiles then explained to him how he
should proceed, and the old man
thought, finally, he could worry
through it. Ere long the couple ap
peared, followed by a crowd of the cit
izens of the camp. The candidates
stood up before’the ’Squire, who said:
“Feller-citizens, this yer man and
this yer woman have appeared before
this court to be hitched in the legal
bands of wedlock. If any galoot in the
mob knows of anything that mout
block the game if tuk to a higher court,
let him now toot his bazoo, or else keep
his jaw to himself now and forever. All
in favor of me proceedin’, as authorized
by law say ‘I.’ ”
Everybody said “I.”
“Contrary, ‘no.’ ”
Nobody said “no.”
“The motion is carried unanimously,
an’ the court rules that thar ain’t nuth-
in’ to prevent the tryin’ of the case.
Grip your tins.” The candidates joined
hands. “Amos Peabody, do you sol
emnly sw’ar thet j-ou’ll freeze to Han
dy forever an’ever? Thet you’ll love
her an’ pervide for her an’ treat her
square an’ white, according to the rules
and regulations sot down to govern sich
cases in the laws o’ the United States,
so help 3011 God ?”
“Yaas, sir; I do, sir.”
“That fixes your end o’ the bargain.
Mandy Thomas, do you solemnly sw’ar
that ye’ll hang on to Amos for all corn
in’ time; that >-e’ll nuss him in sickness
an’ be square to him in wellness; that
ye’ll be to him a good, true, honest, up
an’ up wife, under the penalty pre
scribed by the laws for the punishment
of sich offenses; do ye sw’ar this, so
help you God V”
“I sw’ar I will.”
“Then by the power in me vested as
Justice of the Peace, in an’ fur this dee-
striek, I pronounce >-ou, Amos Peabouj-,
husband, an’ you, Mandy Thomas, wife,
an’ legalize ye to remain as such now
and furever more; an’ ye’ll stand com
mitted till the fees an’ costs in the case
be paid in full, an’ may God have mer
cy on your souls, and bless this union
with his heftiest blessings.”
The fees and costs were adjusted, and,
after receiving the congratulations of
the assembly, the newly made husband
and wife departed for their cabin up
the creek.
which to him meant much more than
empty honors. In this very way the
applause of a sympathetic and respon
sive audience bears up the speaker, who
otherwise would fail. Mr. Gladstone
once said, “A speaker gets from his
hearers in vapor that which he gives
back to them in flood,” and when they
have got it they return it to him with
interest.
“Give him a cheer.” Who? Why,that
young Christian who has come out from
the world, and in the midst of tempta
tion is trying to live a consecrated life,
lie needs more than an interest in your
prayers. Give him a warm hand-shake,
a word of praise, or a smile of recogni
tion when he begins to faint or falter
by the way. Let him know that.you
appreciate his efforts, and will be dis
appointed if he fails. If he does a no
ble ti.ing give him a cheer by telling
him he has done well. It will give him
strength to meet new trials and temp
tations.
“Give them a cheer.” Words of hon
est praise will spoil no man. If you
gain a blessing from a sermon or a prayer
it will encourage t::e preacher to hear
you say so. If some one’s holy living
strengthens you and helps you on to a
better life, would he not be happier to
know of the unconscious influence he is
exerting.
“Give him a cheer,” no matter where
or when, or how you come into contact
with poor, struggling human souls, lend
them a hand—give them a cheer that
will help them to live better, nobler
lives.
A Reasonable Request.
Chicago Tribune.
“It is so sudden, Mr. Darnelle.”
“I know it is,” responded the young
man, gently.
He stood before h.^r, with his w-eight
resting easily on one foot, his left el
bow on the mantel-piece, his right arm
behind him, and his whole attitude one
of careless, unstudied ease and grace,
acquired only by long and patient prac
tice.
“I know it is,” he repeated. “Meas
ured by ordinary standards and by the
cold conventionalities of society, it is
indeed sudden. We have known each
other only twenty-four hours. Until
8:25 o’clock last night neither of us had
ever heard of the other. Yet with the
heart one day is as a hundred 3-ears.
Could we have known one another bet
ter, darling,” he went on, with a tremor
in his cultivated B-flat baritone voice,
“if we had attended the theater, the
concert, the church and oyster parlor
together for a dozen seasons ? Does not
your .heart beat responsive to mine ?”
“I will not pretend to deny, Mr. Dar
nelle,” replied the young lady, with a
rich blush mantling her cheek and brow,
“that your avowal moves me strange
ly.”
“I knew it—I felt it,” he responded
eagerly. “Love is not the slow, -vege-
table-like growth of years. It does not
move in its course with the measured,
leisurely step of a man working by the
day. It springs up like a mushr like
an electric flash. It takes instant pos
session. It does not need to be jerked
in, as it were. It needs not the agonized
coaxing of—of a young man’s first chin
whiskers, my darling. It is here ! You
will forgive my presumption, will you
not, and speak the words that tremble
on 3 r our lips—the words that will fill 1113’
cup of joy to overflowing?”
The evening had passed like a beauti
ful dream. Mr. Darnelle, admonished
by the clock that it was time to go, had
risen reluctantly to his feet, and stood
holding the hand of his beautiful be
trothed.
“My love,” he said, in eager, passion
ate accents, “now that you have bless
ed my life with a measureless, ineffable
joy, and made all my future radiant
with golden hope, you will not think 1
am asking too much ifT plead for just
one favor !”
“What is it?” shyly responded the
lovely maiden.
“Please tell me your first name.”
“Give Him a Cheer.”
“Give him a cheer.” These hearty
words came from the lips of some one
in the crowd gathered around a build
ing enveloped in flames, and were
prompted by the momentary faltering
of a brave fireman at the final effort
that was needed to save a human life.
Instantly hats were waving in the air,
and above the crackling and roaring of
the fire, the cheering of the multitude
below fell upon the ears of the waver
ing fireman. Electrified by the applause
lie renewed his efforts, beat back the
flames that scorched his face, burst in
the window that would not yield to the
young girl’s strength, and through a
cloud of smoke and fire bore his un
conscious burden to her weeping
friends below.
“Give him a cheer,” said a voice in the
audience, as the young aspirant for ac
ademical honors began to hesitate in
the midst of his well prepared oration.
“Give him a cheer,” and as the appre
ciated huzza was raised the heart of the
youth gathered new courege, so that he
succeeded in winning the scholarship,
Narrow Escape at a Wedding.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Mr. Orifiainme Bibbins was a nervous
3-oung man, who, in spite of his infirmi
ty, had succeeded in reaching the dizzy
brink of the matrimonial precipice,
The day before the wedding he care
fully rehearsed the whole ceremony
with his best man—he had previously
attended a sort of state rehearsal at the
bride’s house—and was pronounced
perfect in the responses, the attitudes,
! and, in short, in every particular.
It was a morning wedding at the
church. Not a hitch occurred at the
peliminaries. The bridegroom wasn’t
late; the bride didn’t faint, and brides
maids only had one altercation on the
way to the church. It was an abnor
mally harmonious affair.
The service began and moved along
smoothly till the semi-barbaric ceremo
nial of the ring was reached. To be
| sure that he wouldn’t lose it, the bride-
! groom had given it to the bride’s father
l to hand to him when the proper mo-
| ment came. The latter arrived, and
i the groom, in his - nervousness forget
j iug altogether how he had disposed of
j the ring, began a frantic search through
1 his pockets for it. His three-quarters-
| made-father-in-law jabbed him gently
i in the ribs with the hand in which lay
I the precious golden s3 T mbol of union.
! The bridegroom misinterpreted the sig-
| nal; he thought it meant that haste -was
. necessary. So he redoubled his ef-
’ forts to find the ring. The clergyman
i coughed, the bride’s eyes glistened
| through a mist of rising tears, and the
; ladies with spy glasses glued to their
optics in the audience whispered to one
another: “Something dreadful has oc
curred.”
He felt in every pocket of his coat
and vest, and was diving into the recess
es of his nether garments when the
bridegroom felt something in the bot
tom of the corner of his right hand
trousers pocket. It was the ring, no
doubt.
He drew it out and handed it to the
clergyman. The divine, even, smiled
as he said in a whisper to the agitated
groom: “This is a key ring.”
The groom looked and beheld a small
key ring in the minister’s hand. He had
not time to say a word, for the bride’s
father passed »the proper ring to the
clergyman and.the sendee went on.
And yet nobody commented on the
fact that the groom didn’t faint!
Another One on Senator Call.
New York Tribune.
Among his Democratic colleagues
Mr. Call of Florida has the reputation
of knowing everything—at least, he
thinks he does. “Call,” one of the Sen
ators will say, “did you hear that the
President was going to do so and so to
day?”
“Oh, yes, I heard that this morning,”
“Call,” another will remark, “we have
decided to make this a party question.”
“I knew that,” answers Call.
“Call,” says a third, “I have just re
ceived a dispatch which says that—”
“Jones told me so last night,” Call
will interpose promptly. And so on—
there is absolutely nothing that 3 r ou can
tell him which he doesn’t know already.
He is a great man.
This 'little idiosyncrasy on the part of
the Florida statesman was being dis
cussed by some of his colleagues the
other day in the cloak-room on the
Democratic side of the Senate when a
certain North Carolina humorist re
marked quietly:
“You know, gentlemen, Brother Call
is very much like an old lady who lives
in my town and who makes frantic ef
forts to keep abreast of the times. Cir
cumscribed, however, in her social
sphere, and with limited opportunities
of development, this is difficult; and she
is compelled sometimes to resort to her
imagination. The effort is vain to tell
her anything she does not alread3 7 know,
or startle her w T ith information. One
day she went to a church sociable, and
as she entered the room one of the
young ladies said:
“Good evening, auntie. I am glad
you came. We are going to have tab
leaux this evening.”
“Yes, I know, I know,” promptly re
plied the old lady. “I smelt ’em when
I first came in.”
The responsive laughter which greet
ed the recital of this anecdote showed
how hard the nail had been hit on the
head.
A Sad Mistake.
Chicago Mail.
A good story is told at the expense
of a Noth Side lady who has acquired
the name of being- extremely religious.
Her husband and herself occupy a
house which is rather larger than their
needs require, so it 1ms been their cus
tom for some 3'ears back to take one or
two gentlemen of quiet habits and ir
reproachable character to live with
them, more with the idea of rounding
out the family than out of considera
tion for any revenue rising from the
practice.
Their latest acquisition was a quiet,
white-haired old gentleman, whose
whole conduct seemed pervaded with
an odor of sanctity. In his first appear
ance at the table he bowed his head
with such a meek appearance of piety
and awaited the inevitable “blessing,”
that the good lady of the house was
struck by the idea that it would be a
goodly thing to invite him to lead in
their matutinal devotions.
So she said: “Mr. C., would you be
pleased to invoke the blessing of God
upon our repast?”
Mr. C. looked up, with his head can
ted a trifle sidewise in a listening atti
tude, and said: “Beg pardon?”
The lady repeated her request in a
slightly louder tone.
Still Mr. C. did not understand.
This elicited a repetition of the re
quest in a shrill falsetto/
Mr. C. smiled upon her blandly and
said in a gently reproachful tone:
“Really, Mrs. A., I’m so blarsted
deaf I can’t understand a thing y-ou are
saying.”
The request for the blessing was nev
er repeated, but the nice, white-haired
old gentleman received notice that his
rooms would be needed by 7 some one
else.
“Are there any objects of special in
terest in this locality ?” asked a party
of tourists of an aged rural resident in
Missouri.
The old man reflected a moment and
then said:
“Ain’t been to see Sile Dagg’s set o’
triplets, hev you? All boys, an’”—
“No,” hastily interrupted the spokes
man of the party, “you don’t under
stand; we”—
“You’d orter go an’see Bob Peter
son’s Berkshire shotes; they ain’t but
three months old and they weigh”—
“We are looking for”—
“I do’no but I got a curiosity of my
own back here in the shape of a punkin
that weighs nigh onto fiO pounds an’ is
still growin’.’’
“You don’t understand; we are look
ing for beauties of nature: choice bits
of scenery, etc.”
“Oh. scenery? Wal, I do’no es they
is any scenery 'round here; I never
heard of it if they was. But I tell you
them shotes of Bob’s is wuth”—
But the tourists had gone on.
Gen. Wheeler on Cleveland.
Representative Joseph Wheeler, of
Alabama, who will always be famous
for his career as a dashing cavalry offi
cer of the Confederate army, is one of
the President’s warmest advocates. He
says: “There can be no doubt that Air.
Cleveland will pass into history as the
most distinguished statesman of his
time. Certainly during the last half
century we have not had a leader who
approximated his moral and manly
courage. He has increased the respect
and admiration of his friends. He has
placated or conquered his enemies*
and has brought his party more nearly
to a unit than any political organization.
Every attempt on the part of his politic
al opponents to place him at a disadvan
tage has, with superb sagacity, turn
ed to the discomfiture of his assailants
and to the benefit of his own party.
He is of the people, and he knows and
sometimes anticipates their views and
demands. There are a million voters
in this counttw wbo love manhood,
courage and integrity more than they
love part3', and this million people will
determine the election in Mr. Cleve
land’s favor. They are quiet, and I
might say silent, but on election day
they are firm and unwavering. So long
as virtue exists and so long as Ameri.
cans are capable of free government
will the defeat of a man with Air. Cleve
land’s record be impossible.”
What Her Heart Said.
Ti me.
Confiding Daughter—“Oh, mamma, I
really think Air. Nobranes intends pro
posing soon.”
Fond Alamma—“Indeed?”
Daughter—“Yes, and if he does what
shall I sas 7 ?”
Mamma—“Be guided entirely by the
dictates of your own heart, my child.
Remember, 1113' love, that Air. No
branes is heir to at least 825,000 a year
and a house on the avenue, with a villa
at Newport. You would doubtless go
abroad on your wedding tour and enter
the first circles of society on your re
turn. It would be a lovely match for
3 7 ou, But I have no desire to influence
your choice. What does my child’s
heart say?” 6
Daughter—“You are sure of the $25,-
000 a year, and all the rest ?”
Alamma—“Perfectly sure.”
Daughter—“Then my heart says yes!
yes! yes!”
Alamma—“AIv own darling! What joy
it will give me to see you married to the
man you love!”
Each Line a Condensed Sermon.
Century.
None are such accomplished dissem
blers as those who find dissembling dif
ficult.
The true host entertains so that on
leaving the guest feels more pleased
with himself than with his host.
He who is unwilling to submit to un
deserved blame should remember to re
fuse undeserved praise.
Genius is like a barrel on the top of a
hill. It will not indeed move unless
pushed, but once pushed it goes of itself.
Talent is like a load on the roadway;
it will not go forward unless dragged.
This is the difference between a noble
thought and a merely brilliant thought:
The former, like a friend, improves on
acquaintance; the latter loses its force
on a second meeting.
Weakness trusts in its strength;
strength fears in its weakness.
He who is unconsciousl3 7 selfish is not
so dangerous as he who is consciously
so. The former betrays his selfishness,
the latter conceals it.
“The singular mistake,” explains the
editor of a Texas paper, “by which our
leading editorial appeared last week at
the bottom of a column on the third
page, was caused by our having entrust
ed the setting up of the same to a long,
slabsided Yankee jour printer who
happened along and wanted a job. We
told him to make up the form and work
the papers off while we went home to
give our wife some much needed assist
ance in making her apple butter. The
article was in relation to the recent act
of the Governor pardoning a sheep
thief, and was headed ‘Crowning Folly.’
The blundering tramp set it up, ‘Cran
berry Jelly,’ and chucked the article in
the ‘department of ‘Useful Household
Recipes.’ It is such things as these
that makes the life of a journalist one
of constant care and anxiety and makes
him an old man before his time.”

We want to give you a few pointers
in regard to prices, goods, etc., at the
TEN CENT STORE, which, when you
look over and consider, you will find
to not only be of interest to you, .
but more interesting to your pocket-
book, in saving a snug little bit of from
25 to 100 per cent, on all goods bought of
us. You will please give us a trial, and
if we don‘t sustain our statement we
will fiing up the business to some one
who can ; for our goods are bought so
they can be sold at least 33 per cent,
cheaper than the regular dealer can
sell them.
For instance, a good heavy shirt for
50c; really worth 75c., and sold every
where for 75c and $1.00. This is no
catch. When 3'ou buy one of them
you will bu3 7 another. Now is your
chance to buy, as no more can be had
after the present lot has been sold.
Again, we sell more matches than
anybody else in town. Why? Because
no one else will sell 3’ou 3,000 matches
for 28c. Don’t go to other dealers for
them, as the3' don’t sell them that
i way, but come right to the Ten Cent
i
i Store and get your matches. J
1 Two spools of thread for 5c. j
We still sell the big cake of fine
