Portlaod, *4*ioe »ep iC If fMB WORK DONE AT THE LAFAVETTE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 14, 1880. A Lady After All. Lem,ox Buy sprang from tho train and hastened up the g-een lane to the wide,old-fashioned farm house, carrying hia valise iu hi* hand. 1- I wonder if Nannie got my note and is looking for me? Hallo!” This late exclamation was drawn from Ray’s lips tiy k cherry, which, coming from above, somewhere, came into sudden contact with his nose. He looked up. and there, perched like a great bird upon the limb of a huge old cherry tree, and looking down at him with dancing eyes and brilliant cheeks, was a young girl. “How do, Lennox?/Come up and have some cherries ?” was her mischievous greeting. “Nannie! is it possible?” ex claimed Lennox, severely. And, while Rav looked on in st-rn disapproval, the young witch swung herself lightly down. “Now don’t look so glum, Len nox, dear,” she said slipping her little hands into his with a coaxing motion. “I know it’s tomboyish to climb the cherry trees ; but then it’s such fun I” “Nannie, you should have been a hoy,” said Lennox. “I wish I had ! No, I don’t, eith er; for then voti wouldn’t' ha ve fal len its love with me. What made you, dear?” with a fond glance anil a caressing movement. "’Beenuse yon arc so sweet, dar ling,” nnsweied Rav. melted in spite of himself. “But Ido wish, Nannie, voti would leave ofl thoi* hovdenish ways and he more digni fied.” “Like Miss Isham ?” asked Nan nie. Miss Isham is a very superior woman, and it would not hurt you to copy her in some respects.” Tiie tears sprang into Nannie’s eyes at Ins tone. They went into the parlgr. and Ray took a seat in o great arm-chair. Nannie, gave her cur’s a toss backward, went and sat down. “I wish you would put up those fly-away curls, and dress your hair as other young ladies do.” said Ray. “And see here, Nannie, I want to have a talk with you. You know I love you; hut in truth, my dear, mv wife must have some of the el egance of refined society. Your manners need polish, my dear I came down to tell you that ni> sis ter Laura is making up a party In visit the rioted watering-places, and site wishes you to he one of the number.” “Are you going ?” asked Nannie. “No; my business will notallow it; hut I shall see you several times. Will you go?” “I don’t want to go. I’d rather stay here in the country and climb cherry trees every day.” “Nannie I must insist upon more self-control.” said he, coldly, “But don’t send me away,” she pleaded. “It is for your good, Nannie, ami you must he content to go. Will you ?” The supper-hell rang at that in stant, and Nannie hastily answered, “Yes, let me go, Lennox,” and ran out of the room anil up stairs to her own chamber. “Yes, I’ll go. And I'll teach you one lesson, Mr. Lennox Ray, Bee if I don’t,” she murmured. It was nearly the middle of Sep tember before Mr. Rav, heated, dus ty and weary, entered the hotel where his sister’s party was stu - ping. “Lennox ! you here ?” said she. “Yes. Where’s Nannie?” “She was on the piazza, talking with a french Count a moment ago Ah 1 there she is, by the door.” “Ah !’’ said Lennox, dropping I Laura’s hand,and making his wav I toward the door. ! But it was difficult, even when | he drew near, to see in the stylish, | stately lady whose hair wag put { up over t> monstrous chignon, and whose lustrous robes swept the floor foi;a yard, hia own little Nan nie of three morittiH ago. Lennox strode up, with scarce a glance at tlie bewildered dandy to whom she was chatting, and held out his hand with an eager excla mation : • "Nannie!'’ Sue mailt* hiiu it sweeping curt se , anti languidly extended the tip of Iter fingers, but not a nnisele moved beyond what accorded with well-bread indifference. “Ah, good evening, Mr R»v.” “0, Nannie ! are you glad to «ee me?” e tid Lennox, feeling that his heart was chilled within him. “0, to !>e sure, Mr. R«v, quite glad. Allow me to present my friend, the Count de Beaurepaire. Mt Ray, Monsieur.” Lennox hardly deigned a how to the Frenchman, and offered his arm to Nannie. “You will walk with me a little while ? “Thanks —hut the music isbegin j ning, and I promised to dance with l Mr. Blair.” “But afterward ?” said Lennox, the chill growing colder. "But I am engaged to Mr. Thorn ton.” “When, then ?” demanded Len nox, with a jealous pane. “Really, my card i« so full, I hardly know. I will, however trv and spare you a waltz some where.” “Good heaven ! Nannie, what af fection is this ?” She favored him with a well-bred stare ‘Pardon, I do not understand you.” And taking the arm of her escort, she walked away with the air of an Empress. Lennox sought his sister. “Laura, how have you changed Nannie so?” ho demanded. ♦Y ee, she is changed. Isn’t she perfect ?” “Perfect ? Rather too perfect to suit me,” growled Lennox. “To morrow I shall see more of Nannie,” lie thought. But to-morrow, and to-morrow, and tomorrow and to-morrow, it was always the seme, and “that elegant Miss Irv.ng,” as they styled her, was always in demand, and poor Lennox, from the distance at which she kept him. looked on aj moet heart-broken, varying be tween wrath, jealousy, pride and despair. “Nannie,” said he, one morning, when he found her for a moment alone, “how long is this to last?” “I believe you wished to me come here to improve my manners. Mr. Ray ; to acquire the elegance of society,” she said, coldly. “But, Nannie —” “Well, you are not pleased with the result of your own advice, I am not to blame. You must excuse me now, Mr. Ray ; I am going to ride wit h the Count de Beaurepaire." And, with a graceful gesture of adieu, she left him sick at heart. That afternoon Lennox walked unannounced into Laura’s room. “I thought I’d drop in an say, ‘Good-by’ before you went down Bteirs,” said he “I leave to-night.” "Indeed ? Where are you going?” asked Laura. “0, I don’t know,” was his sav rtge reply. “You can take a note to George i for me ?" “Yes. if you get it ready,” “aid he. “Very well. I will write it now.’ Laura left the room, and Lennox stood moodily at a window. Pres j eutly Nannie came in and stood near him. “Are you really going away,” sl-e asked. “Yes, I am,” was the short an j ewer, “And won't you tell us where?" “I don’t know tnvself—neither know nor care I” he growled. She slipped her hand in his arm, with the old carressing movement ! lie remembered so well, and spoke gently, using his name for the first time siuce he came. ‘But, Lennox, dear, if you go away off somewhere, what shall I do ?” He turned suddenly and caught | her to his heart. “Oil, Nannie Nannie ?” he cried, I passionately, “if you would only come buck to me and love me—if I could recover my lost treasure, I would not go anywhere. Oh, my ; ’ lost lovo is it too late ?" : She laid her face down against | lug shoulder, and asked : i "Lennox, dear, tell me which I I you ioye best* toe Nannie you used i ;o know, or the fashionable young ladv yon found here?” "Oh, Nannie darling!” lie cried, clasping tier closer. “I wouldn't give on* toss f your old brown curls for all the fashionable young I ladies in the world.” “Then you will have to lake your old Nannie hack again, Lennox, dear.” And Lennox, passionately clasp ing her to him begged to be forgiv en, and vowed he would not ex change his precious little wild rose for all the hot-house flowers in Christendom ’’ Humors of the South Carolina Cam paign. At the big Democratic moetingat Witmeboro’ some of the motets worn by the mounted men were very funny. The most striking one was tbe large white patch worn bv a negro upon the seat of his black pantaloons which continued in flaring letters the words, “Gar field to the rear!” Muliala Wilson, a colored woman, and very much colort'il at. that, rode near the head of the Oakland Club, on « white flea-bitten horse, by the side of her husband, Marcus, and smiled most lustily for the Democracy. She wore a I’ght colored dress, and had a red zephyr shawl spread over her shoulders. Wherever she was seon she created a furore, and was greet ed with shouts of laughter and ap plause. Get.. Hagood sought an introduction to her as the first col ored woman he bad ever seen in South Carolina who had the temeri ty to announce her“«if as a Demo crat.. He accepted h«r open avow al of the faith as tha most pipeful indication of the canvass. An old negro man, 88 years old, rode in the procession with the Loogtowu Club. The negroes in the line were fine looking- men, and wore the moot startling combinations of gay and attractive colors, and on everv side there were to la- seen the ciimson banners of the triumphant Democracy.— Greenville(S.

A young lady, who says she is young and handsome, writes : “Tile man for me to love is vastly my su perior, a man who will com pel my spirit to bend its knee to his; who will command my soul to stand still and shine on him, as Joshua commanded the sun ; who can trample my will to the dust,” etc. She should have no difficulty in finding such « man —one who will not only command her soul to stand still, but will also command its owner to get up first in the morning to build the fires, split kindlings and carry up the coal, and whose language will make her hair stand on end when lie comes home and finds dinner fifteen min utes late. There are Jots of men who will bend her spirit for her, and also make her back Va-nd over the wash-tub, while they go down to the saloon and discuss the best method of saving the country from the hands of its political enemies.

A i'plt'jiv Eights for Ills Ulrl—anJ Wins liar. A correspondent sends ua the particulars of somewhat of a fracas tlmt took place at Dogwood school house, second district in this county on Sunday week, the 281 h hist., growing out »f an attempt of i, young man named Titidle to marry a Mias Jenkins against tbe wish of her family. It seems the Jenkins family were about to migrate to other parts. «nd Tindle, desirous of securing the daughter to wife before they left, made the effort to secure her at church Sunday night at the above named place, and just after the benediction had been pronounced. Although the young lady wes quite willing to he cupturcd, her family and friends demurred. The ardent prospective groom, anticipating some opposition, had marshalled his force to oppose any obstacles I hat might present themselves, hut it seems they were too formidable. At the first 'hostile demonstration on the purl of Tindle and his friends the Jenkins crowd mussed and at once made buttle. There was no skirmishing. Both parlies went right in at a charge, and the buttle r.-.gttd furiously for a time. Pistols and clubs were brandished, rock* and other missies were hurled thro’ the air, und it is miraculous that the casuaJities are not more nu merous. The lady was slightly lam ed and John Jenkins, brother of tbe lady in controversy, received a heavy blow on tbe side of the bead with a rock, which knocked him down and injured him pretty badly. Notwithstanding the casualties were ail on the Jenkins side, the at tack wus repulsed and the rescus prevented. The n*xl day, however, the father of the maiden sent for the plucky lover arid gave up bis daughter, and we presume tlu-y were duly married. “All's well that end’s \teii.”— Kingston Fuel Tennesseean. To What Political Party Does the Dev il Belong, At a political meeting a*. liogers villo, Tenn., the above question was ably discussed by G’apt. William Rule, of the Knoxville Chronicle, and Col. Jim White of Rogersvilie. The following is the Spectator's ac count of the discussion : Capt. Rule took Hie broad ground that, the Democratic purty had no principles; in proof of which and byway of illustration, he told an anecdote which was this: A good old Methodist preacher, traveling over a mountain, came to a very high precipice, where he was con fronted with the Devil, who imme diately seized open the good old gentleman. But his Sutunic Majes ty, after reflection, concluded to re lease the minister if lie would pro pound three questions which he (the Devil) could not answer. Hav ing asked him two, which were promptly satisfied, the old gentle man was at his wiss end. Finally however, he bethought and said: “What are the principles of the Democratic party ?" This staggered old Satan, nud he acknowledged himself beaten. This story the Colonel turned very neatly anil happily against the Captain by saying: “To be sure the Devil is not supposed to know anything about purity, honesty and integrity—mid such were the principles of the Dcmecrstic party. But had Hie good old man have asked his Majesty whst the princi ples of the Republican party were, he would have been at home, and would have exclaimed : “Ah, old man. yuur’egon* ; J. know all about them ; I’m the boss of that con cern !’’ The Reality of a High Tariff. The Philadephiu Record says on the subject of the excessively high tariff on steel rails : It coats only from 830 to 840 psr ton to produce steel rails in the United States, and the present card rate ia about 865.

Felton, who represent* the 7th Congressional District, and claims to ho the people’s friend* and especially the farmers’ candi date. is outspoken in the advocacy ofa high-tariff on steel rails. Thia tariff more than doubles the cost of *teel rniis lie voted also with the high-tariff on the salt question, and the tariff on salt is over one-hund erd per cent. Ho voted with them also on the sugar tariff question.—* Rome Courier. The Text. A pious old lady, who we? too unwell to attend meeting, used to send her thick-headed husband to church to find out the text the preacher selected as the foundation eif his discourse. The poor dunce was rarely fortunate enough to re member the words of tlis text, c?r even the chapter and verse where they could he found ; hut one Sab bath he ran home in hot liuste, in* formed his wife that he could repeat every word, without missing a syl labi.. The words were ns follows: “An angel came down from heav en and took a live coal from the al* tur.” "Know every word,” replied the husband. “I tun anxious to hear it,” con tinued his wife. “Thev are nice words,” observed the husband. “I am glad your memory is im proving, but don’t keep me in sus pense, my dear,” said she. “Just get your big Bible, and I will euy tho words by heart. I said them a hundred times ou my way home/ “Well, Jet’s hear them.” “Ahem I” said he, clearing hia throat. “An Injun came down from New Haven and tonka live colt by the tail and jerked him out of the bai ter 1” The menu ry of one-lnilf who at tend church is very similar to the nbeve. Ills bettor. A Cambridge mother sent ber small boy into the country, and af ter a week of anxiety has received this letter: “Igot here all right, and forgot to write before; it is vt-ry nice place to have tun. A feller and I went out in a boat, end tba boat tipped over, end a man got me out and I was so full of water I didn’t know nothin’ for a good long while. The other boy has got to lie buried after they find him. His mother came from Chelsea, and she cries all the time. A boss kicked me over, and I have got to have some money to pay a doctor for fixin’ my head. We are going to get an old barn on fire' to-night, and I should smile if we don’t have bully son. I lost my watch and I am very sorry. I shall bring home some mud turtles, and I shall bring home a tame woodchuck if I can get ’em in my trunk.” All the Independents who have met Col Clements, 3ay they like him. We notice that they have not a word of abuse for him. Not the fir-t charge has been brought against him. This is a wholesome sign, and shows that the democrats have put up a candidate of poro and spotless character, or b» would have been assailed long ago. Now that we- have such a candidate, it behooves every democrat to stand by his party and give Col. Clements a cordial support. The star of his | success shines brightly, and is otn- I ioous of coming victory. Let th»re j Ire no laggards in this light.
