A VERY DRY SANDWICH.
The absent-minded man took
hi* seat at tho restaurant fable,
and, as usunl, buried his face at
once in a newspaper, says the
Hotel Mail.
A waiter placed a bill of fare,
a napkin and a knife and fork
in front of him, ami stood two
or throe minutes unnoticed be
fore asking:
“What shall I bring you,
sir?’
“What's up ?’ said the absent
minded man, starting up sud
denly, not remembering what it
was all about.
“What do you want for lunch
sir ?’ the waiter asked again,
“Oh, yes,’ said the absent
minded man, trying to collect
his w its. “Bring me a cup of
coffee and a ham sandwich.’
The waiter supplied the order
and put a large pasteboard
check for it down on the table,
theabsentminded man continu
ing to read his paper.
The waiter went away to at
tend to the wants of other peo
ple, and about fifteen minutes
later came back.
“Do you w ish anything more?’
he asked politely.
“Yes!’ snapped the absent
minded man, “go and get me a
fresh ham sandwich. The one
you broaght was as dry as a

“Why, here is the sandwich

THRASHED THE*"DENTIST.
Judge W. D. Greer a promi
nent lawyer of Paducah, during
a visit to St. Louis had a severe
attack of toothache. He sought
a dentist's office, and was met
by a young, man scrupulously
neat, who bowed savely, and
the judge began:
‘1 beiieve you profess to be
able to extract teeth without
pain?’
‘Yes, sir,’ was the reply, ‘and
if 1 don’t do it" I’ll refund your
money,’ runs a story in the
Paducah Standard.
The judge seated himself in
the operating chair, and the
last thing he remembers was
the dentist inserting a small
tube in his mouth. He got a
dose of gas and became uncon
scious.
When he came to the young
man was undent table, his erst
while spotless, shirt and collar
covered with blood, and his
clothes torn almost beyond rec
ognition. He was desperately
waving the judge otf, saying all
the while:
‘Get out of here! Got out of
here!’
He seemed very anxious to
have the judge get out, but he
oouldu’t be induced to leave his
retreat under the table.
‘Why, young man, wliat is
the matter?’ asked tlm judge,
who didn’t understand the sit
uation. ‘lf I’ve done anything,
I’m willing to pay for it.’
The young man obtruded his
head, glanced reproachfully at
the demolished furniture and
his own sorry plight, waver'd
for a moment, and then ex
claimed, resolutely!
‘Bay! You get out of herd’
It seemed that the judge,
while uuder the influence of the
gas. had become pugilistic ami
hud cleaned out the establish
ment, ami the young nan un
der the table didn’t get the
tooth, wither.

***
The meeting that has been in
progress at the Presbyterian i
church for two weeks has done j
great work. Many of the town’s J
young men have said good bye!
to their old ways and joined
the church and took theirstand I
on the side of right. The .meet
ing has been conducted by Rev.
J. \V. Pogue, the pastor, and
ably assisted by Rev. Mr. Pat-j
ton, of Decatur, a zealous chain- J
pion of the cause of Christ.
Do you know what hustling
does? Here’s an example.
Last Monday evening when the
Stewards of the Methodist
church met to settle up with
the pastor for his year’s work
it was found that this church
was behind with him abouts.(4.
This was Monday evening and
tile sun had hid its face behind
the western horizon and Un
people began to say that this
man of God was a “servant
worthy of his hire” and the
amount should he raised. Im
mediately Mr. M. S. Cornett
secured a list and got a move
oil him, so to speak, and before
nine o’clock that, night every
cent had been raised and t urned
over to the preacher, who left
the next morning for Dal
ton to attend the Conference.
And we are confident that every
man who subscribed to the
fund felt a hundred per cent
hotter when lie retired that
night. Mr. Cornett is to be
congratulated for his part in
the work.
Judge John I*. Webb has-pur
cbased the residence of Mr. M.
M. King, so we are told, and
will move in soon. The fact is
that Mr. Webb was almost, com
pelled to buy in order to got a
desirable dwelling within the
incorporate limits. This em
phasizes the statement made in
this column a few weeks ago
when we prediett-d an immedi
ate advance in the price of real
estate in this city mid referred
to the faet that, Lawrenopville
was destined to spread her wings
within the next few months, to
such an extent that our city
fathers would he called upon to
extend the incorporate limits.
We want to say further that
the advance in real estate is
now at hand and within tin
next. twelve months you will
witness more new houses in
Lawrenceville than you have
seen in the last —and that is
saying much. We have some
facts in our possession that
moves us to sav so, but at pres
ent we don’t care to enumerate
them. Parti- s desiring to build
will do well to get a lot imme
diately.

There is a remarkable old
gentleman in tlrs county that
we desire to say a few words
about, becauso his life presents
an example of industry, honesty,
happiness and contentment,
lie lives within two miles ol
Suwanee and has lived there,
from his boyhood. Helms al
ready passed the seventy-sixth j
mile post on the road of life;
and yet the pitcher is unbroken
at the fountain uud lie enjoys u
green old age and would pass
any where as a man of sixty.
He has lived for seventy-four
years witliin a stone’s throw of
his present home, and notwith-
standing the statement that a
| prophet is not without honor
: save in his own country aid
among his own kinsmen, he en
joys tlie lull confidence and r -
i speed of his fellow citizens and j
wherever A. R. Roberts is
j known his word is ns good as
; bis bond. He lias lived upon ,
j the farm since he came here I
Irom Carolina, when)
j but a babe, and is as happy anil *
i I'ontented as any man you meet. j
He has no desire to mingle with |
the busy throng of the city but j
is more than contented to en
joy the quiet and peaceful bless
ings of a country life; an I
though he tips the beam at le-s
than an' hundred pounds, he
lias done more hard labor than
any man of his strength in the
county. Such men as he are ,
the back-bone and sinew of our
government, they are the guar
antee of peace when there should j
be peace and a resource of cour-;
age when courage is necessary. |
Would that we had more like
him.
Duluth, where reside many of
the county’s best popple, has a |
grievance that seems to be well |
taken. And it’s founded in j
the following statement of facts
as published in the Atlunla
Journal:
Duluth, Ga., Nov. 21, ISltti.
To the Editor of The Journal.
The patrons of the Southern
rajlway at Duluth, Ga., and
they are many, want to know
why it is they cannot have re
spectable depot accommoda
tions. The old box-like struc
ture that has stood here sine
the ante-diluvian period of the
history of the railway is a dis-i
grace to the community and a :
stigma upon the road. I have I
seen sheep-pens out We i wlier
cattle were loaded that w>!"
better.
Every town along the way
i from Atlanta to Gainesville.
: wit h the single except ion of Du
luth, has its trim, comfortable
little depot. What have tli
inhabitants of this inoffensive
little burg' done that the,'
| should be treated as thong
! they were in the wilds of Zulti
-1 land ? Time and again hav
petitions, signed by our lie-1
j citizens, been forwarded to the
management of the read, (nil
each in turn lias been ignored.
Ladies going to take the train
|or to meet friends coming by
I them, have either to crowd int
j t,he one small room of accom
modation filled as it usually i
| with its objectionable elements
—at best no fit waiting-room
for ladies—or else take it out
on the platform, b nving tin
weather or walking up and down
II he 1 rack.
We have home these things
w ith patience for years, borne
'them until patience has cease
!tohe a virtue. What we wish
I to know is, how much longer
j does the Southern railway ii
tend to take our first-class Cure
and give us sheep-p* n accom
] inodations ?
Pro Popiji.o.
By all means the great
Southern Railroad should heed
'lie plea of this citizen and give
|to the public at that station a
I creditable depot. They are en
titled to it in law and in moral
| and this magnificent system ol
roads should not so far forge
their past accommodations a>
to let these people depend on
j such un old rickety building
that looks like the back side el
a stable for a waiting room.
The building is a disgrace to
the road and they sh mid tear
it away and give them the a< -
com modal ions they deserve
“Pro Populo,” carry your griev
ance to the head of the road
and we believe they will hear
you. Your town furnishes
quite a good deal of travel and
you ate entitled to first cla s,
modern accommodations.

HOW ZENA SAVED HIM.
the noon luck ok a wretched
TRAMP.
’Twas a sultry day in June
when a “tramp,” whose face
was pale with want and suffer
ing, stoppejl at a bright little
| country cottage. Over the por
tico clematis and honeysuckle
clambered in fragrant loveli
ness, while a choice variety of
j (lowers bloomed in the well
kept yard.
As he looked at the little
home seemingly so peaceful and
happy, a sigh stirred his heart
and a deeper sadness shadowed
his face as he thought of his
own far-away home in Augusta,
Maine.
In a passion of boyish anger
'he had left it a year before, and
ever since had vainly sought
employment.
“Cali I get work here?” he
asked, raising his shabby cap
as Mrs. Haynie appeared at the
door.
“No, we don’t hire tramps,”
was her brusque reply, as she
hastily re-entered the house.
A look, almost malignant,
for a moment swept his face,
and was then followed by one
'of hopeless despair.
Day after day, week after
week, lie had gone from house
to house begging for work, and
these were the words that al
most invariably answered his
appeal: “We don’t employ
1 ramps.”
Slowly he was turning away
from the gate when a young
girl, who was busily tying up j
some rose bushes, turned to i
him saying: “Waitn moment,
please,” then ran into the
house. In a few moments she
rerurned with a well-filled plate
and in a low musical voice said:
“Here is some dinner that
mama let me bring. Won’t you
take it.?’’
His face flushed and his voice
trembled as lie.thanked her for
the unexpected kindness.
Seating himself on a rustic
bench just outside tin- gate he
began eating, while Zenu, not
wishing to embarrass him with
her presence, returned to her
(lowers. When he had finished
he said, as he handed her tin
plate:
“I’ll never forget your kind
ness, and gome day you will
know that I’m not what I now
seem to be—a tramp.’ ”
Zena looked thoughtfully in
to his boyish, care-worn face,
then her eyes softened with
sympathy as she earnestly ex
claimed:
‘1 aiii convinced of that now.’
“Thank you!” he said grate
fully, while a faint smile light
ed his face. Just then some
white roses that she wore fell
at his feet. He hastened to
pick them up, started to return
them—he hesitated—and then
said hurriedly:
“May I keep them ?”
A quick refusal rose to her
lips, but as she glanced at his
pale, earnest, face she answered
kindly:
“Yes, if you want them.”
Again he thanked her, and
raising his cap was soon lost to
view. But he carried with him
tile memory of a sweet-laced,
fair-haired girl whose kindness
hud given new hope and cour
age to his almost fainting soul.
• * * * • •
Two years passed and one
bright spring day Mr. lluyuie’s
advertisement was answered by
a handsome young man from
Augustu, Maine.
His credentials as to social
standing, capacity and exjreri
ence were most satisfactory aud
Mr. Ilaynie thought himself
fortunate in securing u book
keeper so well recommended
and in every way so well quali
fied us Carl Leslie.
When Zena met him, he re
minded her strangely of some
one, hut she puzzled in vain
over ths real or fancied resem
blance.
‘•Mama,” she earnestly ex
claimed,one evening after watoh
ing Carl’s retreating figure us
lie returned to the store, ‘doesn’t
Mr, I.eslle remind you of some
one ?”
Then, ns her mother shook
her lieud, she continued mtis
ingly:
“Well, 1 know I’ve seen him
somewhere, at some time, the
same curling brown hair and
the same dark eyes of blue.
Don’t you a think he has what
poets call ‘soulful eyes’ ?” turn
ing suddenly from the window
to look at her mother.
“I don’t know, dear,’, —un-
easily; “but don’t think of him
too much, for you hardly know
him yet.”
“Why, mama, I’m not, am
I?” looking up in starled sur
prise. “No, I guess not,” with
a loving smile at the sweet, fair
face, so unconscious of its bright
loveliness.
Carl’s pleasant manners and
candid, open countenance soon
won for him many friends in
his new home.
Tall, well-formed with regu
lar features, dark blue eyes,
and curling brown hair, he was
—what his Scottish ancestors
would call, a “bonnie lad.”
Soon, ah! too soon, for his own
peace of mind, he knew that he
loved winsome Zena. Then ns
the bright spring days passed
his heart, was consumed with
anxiety to find whether or not
his love was returned. At last,
one eve when sweet June roses
made the air heavy with fra
grance, he told in earnest words
what his eyes had long ago re
vealed, and won from her the
sweet confession that his love
was not in vain.
Her parents gave a ready con
sent, for Mr. Haynie, on close
inquiry, had learned naught
but whnt was complimentary
concerning him.
The marriage was fast ap
proaching when one evening
Carl brought to Zena a tiny
box containing some withered
white rosebuds.
“These,” be softly said, as
he tenderly touched the faded
blossoms, “were the means of
saving my life, and perhaps mv
soul.”
“Oh! tell me howl” raising
her eyes in eager interest. Carl
smiled tenderly at the eager,
loving face, then said briefly:
“In ’Oil I bad a quarrel with
mv father. Hr- insisted on my
marryingnn heiress; I refused—
we couldn’t agree, and at last,
in a passion, I left home and
went to Boston to find employ
ment. I had recommendations
from the best houses in Augus
ta and no doubt would have
succeeded had not a series of
misfortunss befallen me.
“First, I had a severe illness
and was then robbed of watch,
money and even my credentials.
So upon recovery I fqttud my
self penniless, without friends
in u strange city. After vainly
seeking employment I left Bos
ton, and too proud to return
home, I wandered from place to
place asking, yea, begging for
work of any kind. At times I
was given a few hours’ task,
lint no one wanted to employ ‘a
tramp,’ and at last stern ne
cessity made me in reality a
tramp, going from house to
house, although I was axioiis,
yen, more than anxious, to earn
my living by honest work.
Sick, despondent, almost hope
less, I one day wandered—
here.
“Don’t you remember,”smil
ing at. her puzzled face, “giving
‘a tramp’ some dinner and the
Howers you dropped ?”
‘*oh I” her lace suddenly
lighting, “are you the—the—
hoy I gave some dinner that
day ?”
“Yes, lam that same tramp,
and the heaveii-liorii sympathy
t hat shone from your eyes w hen
you guvo me these,” touching
the faded roses, “gave me new
courage, new hope, at a time
when I was despuiring, almost
desjierate.
“For dnys 1 had thought of
ending a life that hud become
a burden, for I preferred death
a thousand times to becoming
—what every one called me, u
regular, worthless tramp.
“So, my darling it was you
that saved, ull unconsciously,
a ‘tramp’ on that sunny day in
June, M v guardian angel sent
me here, uud when I left that
day it was with an earnest re
solve to again see the fair-hair
ed girl whose lips had spoken
the only kind words I beard ad
dressed to myself while tram|>-
iug through ‘Dixie. ’
“Soon after I saw you, I met
a friend upon whose recommen
dation a farmer employed me
for a mouth, and after once
given a trial, 1 had no trouble
in getting work. 1 began stead

me ever onward and upward.
At last I was head bookkeeper
when I saw your father’s ad
vertisement, and came here
with the earnest hope of mak
ing you my wife.”
“Oh, Car!,” with a bright
blush, “did you love me then
at first sight ?”
your face has. been
with me ever since that day in
June, but had it not been glo
rified by compassion and bad
not divine pity shone from
your eyes, I doubtless would
never have given it a thought
again.
“Hut-,’" he continued, smiling
lovingly iumn her, “oi:e glance
into your sympathetic eyes and
I knew they mirrored a woman’s
soul pure ami tender as an an
gel’s.’-
“Oh, hn-hl Carl, please,”
Zena exclaimed, her eyes moist
with happy tears. “You must
not think me too good, or you’ll
be disappointed. ”
“I'm not afraid, my darling,
for ‘perfect love fenrs naught’,’’
was his earnest reply.
A month later Zena and Carl
wen* made one, and on their
bridal tour visited many places
through which Carl wandered
when the world called him a
“tramp.”—Sunny South.
A FOOLISH DAIRYMAN.
And it came to pass that in
the sixth month a certain man
digged a well twenty cubits
deep. Its walls were of stone,
and when he had built tin- wall
for eighteen cubits lie bad no
more stone. And he saveth-to
himself, 'lt will do,’ and fin
islieth it «>IT with a few hoards.
And in tin- tenth month th*-r<■
came a great flood, and tin-
Imurds were washed away, and
the well caved in, and it cost
him many shekels before lie
could get water again from the
well.
The same man buyetli a cow,
and he seeth two cows,one that
giveth much milk and one that
giveth not so nmcji. And he
buyetli the one that giveth not
so much milk, for he sayeth,
‘She costeth not so many shek
els, and she will do.’
When he foedeth tin- cow he
giveth her not so much feed,
for h'- sayeth, ‘Feed is not plen
ty, and she gettetli enough.’
And when he buyeth a milk
pail he buyeth a small one, for
be sayeth, ‘The cow giveth not
much milk.’
And it came to pass when ho
washeth the milk pail that the
water was not hot, and he say
•-tli ‘lt will do.’ And when he
selloth the butter he gettetli
not. so many shekels, for the
Imtter was not goyd.
About this time the wife of
this man sayeth unto her lord
‘Give unto me shekels that 1
may buy myself raiment, for
that which 1 war is like unto
miisquito netting for holes.’
And the man sayeth unto his
wife, ‘The weather is warm and
thy raiment will do, for I have
no shekels to give unto thee.’
Then the wife of that man
answered him and said: ‘O,
foolish maul Dost thou not
know that unless thou doetli
; w ith thy might what thy hands
| find' Ui to do that thy labor is
lost? For want of two'cuhits
I of stone in thy well the eighteen
were lost. When thou buyeth
a cow that giveth not much
milk thou wert building but
eighteen cubits. Aud when
thou giveth her not enough food
and when thou tukest not care
of the milk thou wert doing
I the same. O, foolish man! As
j for want of two cubits of stone
thy well was lost, so for want
of two shekels in the price of
thy cow, and for want of two
measures of meal, and for want
of two moments of work is all
thy profit in thy butter lost,
and thou hast no shekels.’—Ex
