"Wnte to Grit Publish ing Co,, Williamsport Pa., and mention the Banner, A Tennessee editor indig¬ nantly says : *‘The report started by an enemy of ours that we were absent from ohurch service playing eards is malicious and false, and we’ve got the string of fish to prove it.” A man who is too poor to marry when young is always too selfish and stingy after lie grows old and wealthy, consequently he is a failure in life and oftimes leaves no t>ne to mourn his death. From indications, the earth and fence corners, gar den spots aud potato patches are going to be put in cotton this 3 ’ear. And if it is done , woe be unto the farmer next fall, when cotton sells for 5 cents a pound. McKinley prosperity won’t bo here then butthe land will ho filled with sighs, groans and iamen tations, and the blistering mortgage will again be spread on the farms and crops. But then such is the waywardness of this wicked and perverse generation.

The tall, thin woinau banded out 8 cents for herself and-two youngsters. “Three cents more, please,” reminded the conductor. “They are twins,” she “and only equal to one child." The conductor scratched his -head and tried to remember bis instructions. Evidently he recollected nothing gov¬ erning twins; but, being something of a philosopher, ho pondered and said: “Twins are out. of the ordinary, there¬ fore singular. Perhaps you’re right, and yet you spoke of the twins as ‘they.’ That’s plural,” and ho gazed ar> end triumphantly. The fat man nodded. He was .a bach¬ elor and detested children. “No,” spoke up the comical man; “she Is right. They have only one birthday between them. If they equaled two Children, they would bave two birth¬ t days.” “I guess that’s so,” acquiesced the conductor. “Anyway I’ll look It up.” “They take up two seats,” the fat man. The conductor paused and forgot to hand back 5 cents change. “Say,” at last he broke or.t, “what’s their names?” “Wilbur and Marie,” replied the mother pertly, failing to see the Delvet t; > she wes walking Into. "Huh! Hoy and girl, eh? Well, I’ll have to have another fare.
