while you can; fall in love just as
often as possible; after while when
you get older you can take a turn
at falling out.

places was recently assessed by a ju
ry from whose return those who have
guaranteed the right of way ap
pealed. The work can proceed if
the damages assessed by that jury
are paid, and if the court holds that
they are excessive the sum in ax
cess of what is finally fixed upon
can be recovered from the land
owners.

successful remedy for this disease,
which it cures by purifying
the blood. If you suffer from ca

There wore two children of Israel
in town Tuesday. They were drum
mers, and had come in a buggy
leaving the coon with the team and
their samples behind. The driver
was due in town at 12 m., but did
not put in an appearance until 5 p.
m. The delay was grievous to the
spirits of the Hebrew children who
gave vent to their sorrows by curs
ing the driver. When the latter
did arrive the cause of delay was
found to be a broken hack. When
the Israelites saw this and as the
bill for repairs rose before their
vision coupled with the extra ex-i
penses caused by the delay, their
lamentations in broken English
were truly heart rending. We do
not know whether they sold any
goods or not; if they did, we ven
ture to say they thought of the ex
tra expenses and made it back.
Trion News Items.
Work on the railroad is progres
sing rather slowly on account of
the rainy weather, but they have
made a right smart show in the
field north of the church, and in
the woodland still farther north.
They are making a considerable
fill near the church. The two ten
ant houses on the banic of the
branch, and the two on the bank of
the river Just below the mouth of
the branch will be moved down in
the level place back of the houses
in the eastern quarter of town. Mr.
Allgood is preparing to move the
houses this week. They will be
moved without being torn down.
Mr. John Bradley and Mis Geor
gia Hill were married January sth
at the Trion boarding house, at 11
o’clock p.. in. N. H. Coker, J. P. offi
ciating. J. T. Hollis and J. L.
Morton have each paid for one
year’s subscription to the News.
I was in Summerville last Satur
day, .and took dinner with that clev
erest of gentlemen Bass Knox at
the hotel, and I want to say just
here that Mr. Knox will make his

to satisfy the cravings of the inner
man. Let all who may have busi
ness in town which requires them to
remain until dinner time just step
in and they ivi'iiii.d a plenty to

I want to say to the town author
ities that it would add to the attrac
tions of the village if gravel or even
eartjs was thrown in the mud holes
around the hitching racks so as to
hot allow water to stand where hor
ses are hitched. R. F. Smith who
has had charge of the carding de
partment of Trion Factory for many
years, has given up his posision,
and will move to his farm near Dr.
Rudicil’s. Mr. Smith has lived at
Trion nearly all his life, and work
ed himself up to the position of
overseer of the carding room by in
dustry' and strict attention to busi
ness. The operatives who were un
der his supervision were well pleas
ed with him. I learn that John
Steele, son of A. R. Steele will suc
ceed Mr. Smith.
A few days ago Mr. Allgood kil
led “the fattest cow that ever was
fed on hay.” I bought one hind
quarter that weighed 119 pounds,
and was it “sweet juicy and well tas
ted.” W. T. Lowry is going to move
back to Trion in a short time.

FROM BRONCO.
Christmas bells have ceased chi
ming their wild, sweet carols of
peace on earth, good will to men,
that echoes over the broad sea of
human action. And we come now
greeting the new with a happy new
year just as it comes from others
to millions of earth’s children to
cheer, encourage and strengthen
the spirit of the pilgrim on the
journey of life.
The past has been a year that
will prove to be an epoch in the
history of our country made so by
the coming of Cleveland to the
South and his glorious welcome.
Xmas has been very jolly; our
friends have enjoyed diversified
amusements. Among Bronco’s
visitors were Miss Eula Boss, Mis
ses Underwood’s, Miss Lelia Green
wood, Dr. Will McWilliams and
others. Noticeable among delight
ful sociables was the one given by
Mr. James Shaw, near Estelle.
One of the happiest marriages of
our acquaintance was that of Mr.
LaFayette McWhorter to Miss Ada
Alexander. After them we throw
the old slipper, knowing that for
tune will surely smile on youth and
.love, manhood and worth. I’ve
been told that a certain Valley
Store belle, whose brown eyes fas
ten Cupid’s arrows in all we fellow's
hearts, took Christmas dinner with
a friend in Bronco, but could not
be induced to spend the night; but i
most of us know that -there’s a
“Ransom for the righteous.” The
marriage of Mr. Mayhan to Miss
Ada Day was celebrated at the
beautiful home of the bride's fath
er during the holidays. Attend
ant, Miss Lula Espy and Mr. Camp.
We wish our Cove brethren would
just remain in their own domain, as
this is our sphere by right of pos
session. A leap year party given by
Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Cameron, Mon
day night, was one of the most
pleasant little entertainments of
the season. Delightful music,
splendid refreshments, andoh! such
happy ladies. Several Bronco peo
ple were invited.
Several are anxious to find out
who I am, and for the benefit of the
curious I’ll give my real name in
enigma below:
My Ist is a clergyman’s perform
ance.
My 2nd and sth a gramatical
answer to Who comes there?
My 3rd and 4th is part of a
dwelling.
My 6th the letter most often used
in the English language.
Willie.
LAFAYETTE LETTER.
Christmas is over and knitting
resumed.
It is said that the line of the
railroad through the corporate
limits of LaFayette will be deter
mined this week, for some reason
unknown to us, the line through
town, if located, has been kept a
secret from most of our people. It
may be that the lion wants more
blood. We will be satisfied with it
on the east, or on the west, just
since it “neither goes over nor un
der” our town.
Lee Napier got his face badly
burned by the flash of a pound of
powder that exploded in his hand;
he is doing well.
Our efficient Tax Collector, J. C.
Hall, reports a muchs mailer list of
defaulters than usual.
The bell ringing at all the differ
ent churches in town at 12 o’clock
Monday night Dec. the 26 was not,
as many thought an alarm of fire,
but an indication that all the mis
chievous boys were not in bed.
Mr. Betts one of the best engin
eers that has been on the railroad
survey, and who had charge of a
residency of fourteen miles here,
left Friday for Cincinnati, Ohio.
Mr._D. J. McDonold who has
charge of the grade here, recruited
his force Monday.
New ordinances will be enforced
in LaFayette after Jan. 16th. It is
to be hope I that we may have in
some respects an unproved state
of affairs. Rex.
The Fiddler’s Fate.
[A Love Story translated from
the original French of Lamartine
specially for The Chattooga News.
All rights, if there are any, are
strictly reseved.]
CHAPTER I.
[introductory.]
“Music hath charms to soothe the sav
age brest.”
And chewing gum, after that, will do
the rest.
He was young and he was fair
and he parted his hair, like the
average beau, in the middle; he
was brave and he was bold, yet the
truth it must be told, he played
like a fiend on the fiddle.
She was sweet, she was a beauty,
and to do a bounden duty we must
state that she had traveled some;
and during her perambulations
through the foreign nations she
had learned how to chew chewing
gum.
CHAPTER 11.
love’s young dream.
Had wo never mot so kindly.
We had never loved so blin'.lly.
—Burns.
Now this beau of the bow and this
chewing girl, you know, kindly
met upon a day, when straightway
they fell(oh,how sad tohava to tell)
why, they just fell in love right
away.
CHAPTER 111.
THE PLOT THICKENS.
“He eithor fears his fate too much,
Or else his deserts are small,
Who fears to put it to the touch
To win or loose it all.
—Axon.
So oucc upon a night when the
moon was shining bright, and the
stars were twinkling in the sky,
this drawer of the bow with his
fiddle did go to serenade his sweet
heart, which was right. Under her
window he sat down and he cast a
look around and took in the beau
ties of the scene; now at his feet
the streamlet flowing, on the vines
the flowers blowing, while the mea
dows all around were dressed in
green. The leaflets on the trees;
gently stirred by the breeze, made
sweetest music to his ear; and the
thought came to his mind that nev
er could he find a better time than
this to see his dear.
CHAPTER IV.
LOVE’S WINDING WAT.
Now he di<l all that man could do,
Hut then it was in vain;
So ho bid his own true lob e adieu,
And never went back again.
So he got his fiddle ready and he
drew the bow quite steady across
the fine imported fiddle strings;
then he played a pretty tune about
the flowers that bloom in June—
then another about some other
things.
N-w there is a saw, and they
say it’s true as law, that the course
of true love is always vain, and this
musical man and his charming
Mary Ann found it to be that way
once again. As ho played faithful
ly, hoping soon to see his own
precious one over head, the old man
came out while the young man was
in doubt—this is what the old man
said: “Git! Go hence ! 1 De
part!!!”
CHAPTER V.
HARD LINES.
So fare thee well, my own dear love,
This world as now for us,
No greater grief, no pain above,
Tno pain of parting thus.
—Moore.
And the yOUng man did depart,
and it nearly broke his heart, and
now he plays the fiddle night and
day; and while he’s -not afraid, yet
the truth it must be said, he avoids
the place his love stays o’er the
way.
And the girl she stays at home,
and chews her chewing gum, and
reflects on the cruel, cruel fate that
separateth her from the one she
holds most dear, and she chews at
a most terrific rate.
CHAPTER VI.
MORAL.
Now if the tale ends bad and
makes the reader feci sad, it can
not be helped, for ’Lis true; take
comfort in the thought that it’s not
over wrought, and that such a sad
fate never overtook me and you.
FROM VALLEY STORE.
Xmas is over and I think all
have had a merry time. We have
had parties, sociables and wedings
very frequently which is indeed
quite interesting.
We learn that Mr. Lewis Parker,
formerly of Chattooga, who moved
to Texas last winter, is dead. He
lived only two days after he was ta
ken. We greatly sympathize with
the bereaved family. Mr. and Mrs.
W. C. Knox were in the village Sat
urday and Sunday. We are hav
ing some rainy, muddy weather
now. The roads are in a bad fix.
Mr. Leath preached at New Hope
Sunday; not much turn out on ac
