mo»t romantic episode Hint has star
tled the viiimininity lately wrs llm
marriage yesterday evening of MIbb
Eunice McDowell of Steel Creek
township, in this county, to Mr. Sid
Lowe, of Mt. Island. It wns a Grctner
Green affair, and It seems was ns un
expected to tlic pnrtles concerned ns
• to their friends. '
Sunday night Mr. Itowe drove to
Miss >1oT)owelJ’s home In the country
and spent the night with her brother.
He lied never met Miss McDowell but
once before. The next day'when lie
started to leave Miss MoDrtwel! went
to the gate to see himself and her
. brother start off.
She admired his horses very much,
and he suggested that her brother get
out and let him (Lowe) take her for n
drive. She wns Rttired in n calico
gown nud had a sun bonnet on.
They started on the drive and 11 ml
ing themselves In the South Cnroliun
road, he suggested in fun that they
go Into South Carolina nnd get mar.
rled.
They both humored the Joke, and
with somewhat of a banter the nffnlr
wns fixed up. They did go to Fort
Mill nnd were married. She in calico
and sun bonnet.
Thu bride is a beautiful, nud one of
the greatest belles of the county. Shu
numbers more admirers on her string
than any other girl in this section

According to the New York Herald
the gm -•mnont liny another inleriin-
tlcual question on its hands which
promises to be far more troublesome
than was either the New Orleans mas
sacre or the Valparlaso affair. It seems
that Chancellor Buddeke, nn obstinate
sort of n man connected with the Ger
man legation, has given great offense
to Ids neighbors In Washington by
permitting bis servant, an old-time
colored woman, to hang the washing
in bis front yard. Two eminent citi
zens of the national capital, one a con
tractor ami the other a doctor, publicly
complain that this Isa disgraceful
slate of ult’alrs, amt insist t-lmt the
washing must be hung in a less con-
splciioils place. They don’t think It
nice, they say, that Huddeke’s gar
ments should he so publicly displayed.
But Buddeke siislnltifi Ills servant,and
the servant says: “Dali ain’t no bank
yard no how, an’ I’se holin’ to use tie
front.”
It Is understood that the doctor nnd
the contractor arc going to appeal to
tile President to have the objectionable
member of the Ucrmnn legation re
called If Ills curious garments continue
to be exposed In Ills front yard. The
doctor and the contractor nro neigh
bors of the German, nnd they say they
lire compelled to pulldown theirhlinds
on the German’s whnsh days. Here Is
chance for the President to arouse
Congress by one of Ills warlike mes
sages. The President might make po
litical capital by announcing that Ihc
German diplomat must take In his
washing or Germany must fight.

Jim. Hicks, a country Negro, came
into the city Saturday, and filling up

go on the war path.
He had a grudge against another
Negro, who lives on the same place
with him, and he decided to bring
mntters to an end by wiping his
enemy from (lie face of the earth. So,
procuring a rock, nearly as large as n
■nan’s head, he sailed into the subject
of his animosity Just buck of Morris
Mayer’s store. Ho would probably
have done some liarin had not officers
Raley and Barron placed him under
arrest and lodged him in- the guard
house. A very large rock was found
in his pocket when tile officers search

Arriving at the lire, the dog dropped

The Baptists of I he South are
gather in Atlnntn early in May.
There will no a great gathering of
churchmen, too, when the Southern
Baptist Association meets there nt Its
next session.
Nearly 2,000 delegates, ministers,
nnd lending Baptists from nil parts of
the Southern States, will be on hand
to attend, ns every State will lmve
ninny Representatives. It is to he the
grentest convention of the kind ever
held In that, city before.
There Is Interest already awakening
In this convention In Georgia and
every Baptist wauls to know what, is
going to be done by the session nnd
what Atlanta is going to do In the
matter of entertaining the numbers of
delegates coming.
The enterlnlnment.will be complete,
of course, since Atlanta la already
known ns the most hospitable of the
many hospitable cities of the South.
There is a committee already appointed
and organized there to work up nil the
preparations necessnry in advance fur
the comfort of the visitors.
The olmirmnu of tills committee Is
Mr. Green Adair, nud this is enough to
warrant the prediction Hint the head
of the committee will spnre no efforts
to make Hie Baptists have a pleasant

Klkhart Truth.
Fads,lobbies and theories that can
not be put in practice never find place
in the minds of sensible people, and
the sooner they are either abandoned
or made to conform to existing condi
tions the better it will he for their ad
vocates.
A Dog Citrus It set I of Fits,
"Diudi Klee" is un aged liver uml
white imhiter. the pet ami friend of
the household. Ago nud lack of ox-
ereiso, with u too liboral diet, have
given him a tendency to daily iita.
Bo regular is this habit that callers
frequently ask him, "Well, Dash,
have you had your lit today!” If he
has he answers by a wag of the tail
and »n animated countenance; if not
ho droops Install and sneaks off to
his rug with a distinct manifestation
of disapproval of such questioning.
A year or more ago ho indicated a
fancy for wooden toothpicks, and at
moa) times would hang about the
table until he received onn. Some
ono. for fun, once gave him n burned
match for a toothpick and he accepted
it graciously. A little later an un-
!mined match was substituted, and
this lie accepted and devoured with
stqieeial satisfaction. It was so funny
to see a dog eat matches that it soon
became the custom foi Dusb to have
one after every meal, anil now he in
sists oh his supply. If it Is not forth
coming he sits by the stand whore
the matches are kept and pationtly
“points" until he is attended to. If
too long neglected he puts up his
paw, overturns the mgteh box nnd
helps himself. But he never takes
but one and never tulcs for it except
after meals.
Th% strangest part of his history
is, however, that his self conceived
prescrijition of sulphur and phos
phorus has entirely cured him of his
daily fits, and ho lias not had one for
many weeks.
His master is a physician, and it is
n question for those who tiro inter
ested in animal psychology to con
sider how Dash evolved so successful
u course of treatment from his dog
gish consciousness anil his me.bcal
environment. Boston Herald

ber of years ago, in taking twenty chil

seventeen of the twenty bad t lieir eye

and ia a state too disgusting to be de

healthy, happy and well behaved chil
dren grow up to call their benefactress

A Kovel Match In Which a Pretty Girl
Wan the Prlxe.
A discussion of corn busking, an
dent easterns in general and the
vaunted superiority of the old boys
over the rising generation led to a
most interesting, match hist week.
The scone was laid ten miles north of
Ora winrusviHu, ,n,V., ofi the farm ut
Dr Wilkes, where it had been an
nomiced there would occur a grand
husking match, not exactly an old
fashioned one. for the corn was still
on the stalk.
The young men ot that section
were out in force to portidpate oi
hack a favorite, hut when the spot
was reached it was found that Grant
Layton and Charles Parker were the
favorites, and all declared .-that one
of them must surely win. As the
others did not care to suffer defeat
it was mutually agreed to withdraw,
and the race was between the favor
ites. The young men, who are lead
era in the social Four Hundred there
a bouts, wore raised on udjoining
farms and for years a bitter rivalry
him existed between them.
Grant leads the choir and the sing
ing school, but Churley is generally
the last man down at u spelling
match. Grant dances divinely and
Charley is not to he sneezed at in
that line. Besides no dunce can lie il
success without the latter acting us
a prompter. Grant can break any
colt in Indiana, and Charley is he
youd the range of ordinary vision at
a shooting match. Both are athletes
and luith are proud possessors of
very swell outfits in the liorao and
buggy lino. In a word, their aeeom
plislnmnits are about equal und their
leadership in social circles, is undis
[sited.
But. strange to relate, both haven
hankering "for the stunt*" -a bright
black eyed little charmer, the reign
ing belle of the neighborhood and
still lit her teens. Heretofore it had
been nip and tuck between them,
but there seemed to lie an under
standing between thu three that a
marked preference would bo shown
to the winner of the husking match,
so the Isiys were only the more uux-
ions to meet on tho sands of Dr.
Wilkes' forty acre cornfield.
7 o’clock the contestants, each
accompanied by a wagon, two horses
nnd u driver, entered the arena and
a fow minutes tutor time was called
Grant, with much composure, sailed
off down the long rows of that big
coruflold, busking the golden ears
with ns great avidity ns Samson slew
the Philistines with the jawbone of
an tuts. Charley, the champion, was
fairly wild and husked rs he had
never husked liofore.
At one end of the field the boyB al
ways east {heir eyes toward a certain
spot where stood the little charmer,
between n father nnd big brother,
but u smile or a nod would send them
back to the next row with renewed
energy. During the afternoon there
was no [lerceptible vantage. It is
what in dice parlance is termed
“horse and horse," and money was
going up all the while. But at length
the sun declined to shed more light
and nil hands, howling and cheering
like mod. gathered to heal' the count.
The supreme moment arrived, and
the Layton faction fairly split the
blue canopy of heaven when the
official counter, from the bottom of
nn inverted sorghum barrel, an
nounced that Grant Layton was the
winner, having husked 151 bushels
and 68 pounds to Charley Parker's
148 bushels and 48 pounds. To ndJ
to the discontent of the Parker foe
tion, Layton also broke the short
time record by husking thirty-one
ears in ono minute nnd tin-owing
thirty of them in tho wagon.
When the cheering had subsided
and the stakeholders had distributed
the cash, the conquering hero wns
hoisted by some half dozen of his
■enthusiastic backers and earned to
the supper table, tho head of wliict
os a sent of liouor, had been res *
for Hit* winner. The tired but I..., ,,
busker Imre the tremendous huuots
very umdestly. while the pair of
lilurk eyes that hud acted ns the
great iu* ontivo and were now spur
kliug with uo less intensity than his
own hovered about that end of the
table* and loaded it with nil the deli
euck's that the house afforded. A
free and easy, good old fashioned
dance followed, in which Layton
who wits too weary to, navigate, did
not participate. Neither did
"stakes." hut as they wit there smil
ing ami happy and the center uf at
traction, there was inure than one
who "'lowed they would make a
spnnky team."
Parker, the vanquished, bore his
del.-at with good grace nnd received
many coir.pimH'nts nn the good tight
he hud made, even though victor*
htal not perched ujkiu his banner
