STORYETTES.
A party of mountaineers at the
Erwin house, the other day, were
having an after-dinner chat on the
piazza, when the subject of “ra
tions” came up and, each man in
his turn, expatiated at length on
his particular ^astronomical fan
cy, and described, with full details
the dally menu to which he was
accustomed at home. Fmally’the
relation of food experiences was
up to an old fellow from Union
county, who hacf, so far, taken no
part in the conversation, but, with
his chair lilted back against the
wall and bis eyes half closed, was
a picture of lazy and indifferent
content, as he puffed* dreamily
away at his corn-cob pipe. One
of the others called his attention
to the subject under discussion,
and asked his opinion. “Wall,
gentle-men,” be drawled, “my ole
daddy raised nineteen Chilian—
boys an’ gals—an’ cohn pone wuz
good enuff fur us. I thought so,
too, when I got merried an’ staht-
ed out in life fur my§e’f* an* I
haint bed cause toh change my

after a moment’s puzzled thought,

Of the brave men who fought in
he Spanish-American war, Hall
ounty furnished her full quota,
oth in the army and in the navy,
lenry P. Hall, born in Hall coun-
v in the year 1878, saw service as
neof Uncle Sam’s gallant “jack-
cys.” He was a gunner on the
battleship Oregon. He left his
home in 1898 and enlisted in the
naval service at Chattanooga, Ten
nessee. From there he went to
New York, where he was berthed
on the Oregon. From New York
they were ordered to the Philip
pines, where they engaged in a few
brushes. In about two months
they started on that memorable
voyage across the Pacific and
around Cape Horn to the relief of
the American fleet, when the Span
ish “flying Equadron,” uuder Ad
miral Cervera, was menacing our
coast towns. Hall was with the
Oregon in all her later cruises, un
til January 27, last, when his term
of enlistment expired, and he was
mustered out of the service in New
York city. He then came direct
ly home, forsaking the bounding
billows of the blue ocean for the
dearer and more familiar “old red
hills” of Georgia. Ex-Jackey Hall
bears upon his person a profusion
oif those indelible ornaments of
which sailormen are so fond, in
the shape of some pretty and ar
tistic tatooing. On his right arm
is a splendid India-ink portrait of
Admiral Dewey, while just below
the national eagle and shield are
emblazoned; besides this there is
a chaste cross and mound, with the
word “Mother,” at the base of the
cross. On the left arm “Old Glo
ry,’ ’ vividly resplendent in red
and white and blue, stands promi
nently forth, with the likeness of
a preUy young lady—Jack Tar’s
“Black-eyed Susan,” no doubt
just below it. These souvenirs of
his service in Uncle Sam’s navy
will go with him to the grave
Hall says that he likes the navy
first rate, but that, in the course
of his wanderings, he has found it
to be strictly true that, after, all,
“There’s no place like home.
and feed their teams elsewhere.
By moving the chain thus, the
city; would be saved a great ex
pense, for now it must necessarily
keep a team and two or three
workmen employed, gathering up
the leavings and rubbish where
these wagons from the country
have been hitched. There are
plenty of places around the city
where teams can safely be hitched,
which would really be as conven
ient as* the public square. Then
again, teams can be hitched where
there is not so much danger of
runaways, and a great many citi
zens would like to see such a
change inaugurated. However,
there are those who cling to the
idea that it would be unwise, and
prefer to let the square remain a
hitching place for the public.

There has been some talk lately
among the city fathers of moving
the chain, now surrounding the
park in the center of the square
out eight or ten feet, or, perhaps,
further. This would l^ave a street
between the chain and the side
walk amply sufficient for all traf
fic purposes for which the streets
are intended. Then, of course,
the people who come from the
country would be obliged to hitch

CANDY
L H ^ WORK WHILE ^
Mr. J. Newton Twitty has been
chuckling himself under the chin
this week and, giving the Candler
horse guards and the Queen City
band the merry ha! ha! When
the governor and Mr. duBignon
came up from Jefferson the other
day, they came on a special, un
der escort of ten local troopers.
The company here, headed by the
band, marched down to the depot
and, as the captain spied an en
gine and passenger car pulling up,
he naturally presumed that the
governor was on board; accor
dingly his men w r ere brought to at
tention and, the band catching the
cue, the strains of “Hail to the
Chief” were wafted through the
air. The soldiers stood like stat
ues m the blazing sun, daring not
to bat even an eye, lest tbe gov
ernor might take offense; and
Bill Smith and his band were
playing . their best. The tram
came to a standstill, the order was
given: “Present arms!” and—J.
Newton Twitty stepped off. Tak
ing m the situation at a glance he
reached up after his last summer’s
straw and made his best bow.
When the surgeon of the company
reached the scene the captain said
it was sunstroke that caused his
depleted ranks, and the band—
well, when the governor did get in
on a later section of the train, he
wanted to know who it was that
beat him to the band.
