Cotton is opening rapidly, but I have not seen any being hauled to the gin yet. Cotton I think will be short, at least one-third. There is some good corn and some quite sorry. Well, 1 was in Summerville Monday and was present at the dedication of the court house. But do not think 1 will be here when the last bonds are taken up, which will be thirty years from now, and I am now sixty seven years old. But I must say It is a good building and one that is a credit to old Chattooga. The talks made by Col. Wesley Shropshin ■fudge Wright and others were very appropriate. The great question of the day is good roads. The automobile is coming and I guess is coming to stay There is a good deal of opposition to auaomobiles. I guess we will have to have two tracks —one for i the automobile and one for the bug gies and wagons. I saw a good many old friends in Summerville Monday while passing i about over the town. Summerville is quite different from what it was i just a few ye<Ts ago. We had two ot three saloons, but now the town and ' county is dry. and no man is al-. lowed to sell whiskey or to still it j in any way. I well remember when people used to still their corn and J their peaches. And had them days what we called good old corn whis key and good peach and apple bran dy. But now things have changed and all these things have passed away, and we find that we can actu i ally do without it and feel better for the education of the young and without it and live longer and have ; more money to use for other purposed | rising generation. If we could have ’ looked forward 40 years ago and ■ i have seen just, what we now have in i ; Chattooga county, that we did not have then, many of us would have beet! surprised. Since then we have built railroads, cotton mills, and many new i things, and even our farming is quite 'different to what it was then. Our j people are a progressive people. We are full blooded Americans, never satisfied but are always on the go ahead line. If all of us could hav< seen before the great civil war as; 'we now see 1 believe that war and ; ' bloodshed could have been avoided and we would have never seceeded from the union, but would have sub- ' mltted to Abraham Lincoln taking bls seat quietly and peacefully.

(Copyright, 1909, by Associated Literary Press. 1 Virginia sat down before the glass and took stock of herself in minute and critical fashion. When a woman has reached her twenty-eighth year she is either at her worst or her best, and Virginia was at her best Her glass told her that and the faces of her friends of her own age who had faded about her until she was left like the one perfect flower in a cluster, con f?’—.ious by her brightness. Her little sister had just announced that Mr. Bridges had driven up in front of the house and was waiting to take her driving. But Virginia sat still. She had just beep making a resolution never to go driving with him again, and here he was. She clinched her hands tight. “Just this once!” she pleaded to her Her eyes met the longing ones in the glass. “Just this once, and I’ll tell him. I will be honest. His heart shan’t break even if mine does.” She turned to her sister. “Dorothy, dear, tell Mr. Bridges I'll be right down,” she said gently. Then she rose and put on her hat. It did seem so good to be sitting be side him again—if only it were not for that miserable thing which she had promised herself she would make known to him before the drive was ■ ended. She looked at his face. It was such a strong, good face. Oh. it would be bitterly’ hard to tell him! He seemed to have something on his mind, too, he was so grave and si lent. And whenever he looked at her ! it was with quiet penetration. Virginia leaned back against the thick i cushion, trying to steady herself. She did not notice that Plume had stopped trotting and was walking slowly. But when a hand fell over hers she started and looked into the eyes of the man whose face bad come suddenly near to hors. “Virginia! Dear little girl!” She knew what must come after those words, but she could not speak.. “Virginia”—his eyes held hers—“l love you!” Then he smiled his swift, gentle smile, as if her silence had re assured him. That smile seemed to break the spell. Virginia remembered that she drew her hand from his and began to say something wildly, what she did not know until his changed, white face stopped her. “Virginia, what are you saying? Promised —you? I will not believe it.” Ills stern voice braced her. “Oh, but you must—you must!” she said. “I will not believe it. I will not be lieve that you do not care for me— that you have led me on just for pas time. It isn’t true. Is it. dear?” His voice bad softened again. He put his arm about her and drew her against him until her cheek touched his. “Tell me all about it,” he urged. “I must know it all. There is some mis take somewhere, I am sure. Tell me. Virginia.” He released her gently and waited. Virginia gathered herself together des perately. “I’ll tell you everything, Arthur,” she said. “I promised myself that 1 would before this drive was ended. I should have told you before only I could not somehow. I shall begin at the begin ning and tell it all. and then you may think what you please of me.” “It happened ten years ago, when 1 was about eighteen and Andrew two years older. We had known each oth er always. He lived in that little gray house next to ours until his father got into some financial difficulty and lost what property he had. Mr. Hall nev er could get along somehow. I always liked Andrew better than any other boy; he was so good hearted and gen tle. One night when we were waik -1 ing home from church he asked me to marry him.” Virginia hurried a little. . “It was June, and there was beauti i ful moonlight. I had never dreamed of marrying him or anybody then, but he looked so handsome and be seemed so much in earnest that I promised 1 before I thought. Then I was fright ened. because I knew my people would never consent to it. My mother always said she was afraid Andrew would be just like his father and never amount to anything. So we decided to keep • our engagement a secret. “Just after that Mr. Hail was taken with a great desire to go west. He knew he could do something out there. 1 think he had an idea that gold nug -1 gets could be picked up like acorns. Anyway be was perfectly crazy to go, and he went and took Andrew with him. We wrote back and forth pretty steadily for awhile. Andrew didn’t like the west very well, and his father was disappointed, but they would have to stay there until they had earned money enough to get back home with. Well, I don't know—l was in school, and there were so many things to take ' my time that 1 guess 1 grew careless about writing, and Andrew seemed to grow just as careless himself. Be sides. he and his father were constant ly on the move. I think they must have traveled the west over pretty thoroughly. The last time I heard from Andrew was three years ago. He said be was still trying to get rich and talked of going to the Klondike. I answered the letter, but perhaps he never got it. “You are the first person I ever told this to.” she said, looking earnestly at Arthur. “I see,” he said quietly He thought SEARS & ROEBUCK -of Chicago- Sell Goods and Guarantee satisfaction THE EDISON LAND CO. ...0F...

Menlo, Georgia. he could understand what manner ot man it was that would keep a girl to a foolish promise in this way for eleven years. “You really think, Virginia, that An drew will come back?” be asked. “Yes; I really think so.” “And you will marry him if be does: Virginia turned very pale. “You see, Virginia.” Bridges went on gently, “I have some old fashioned no tions about these things. Unless you love him you have no business to marry him, were you twenty times promised to him. It would not be fair to him, and it would be most un just to yourself.” Virginia never had thought of that. “Now, I’ll tell you what 1 shall do, for I think I have something to say in this matter. 1 will wait just one more year for Andrew to put in his appear ance-just one year, not a day more or less —and if he doesn’t come then I shall take you for myself. Do you un derstand me. Virginia?” She looked at him with a brighten ing face. But the brightness quickly faded like the light from a sunset cloud. “And if he does come”— she gasped. “Why. then, that’s a matter for your own deciding. If you love him enough to marry him, marry him. But if you don’t,” he smiled, “you'd better marry some one you do.” During the rest of the drive Virginia sat trying to realize things. She could not be thankful enough that .she had told him and be did not despise her. It was 6 by the clock when Plume trotted down the long street and left Virginia at her own door. She ran into the house, unpinning her hat as she ran. Her mother came in from the dining room with a dish in her hand. “Virginia, gue?" who has came while you’ve been gone.” she said. “I don't know,” she faltered. “Andrew Hall! Would you believe it? I thought 1 knew him When I saw him go by in the bus. Afterward Mrs. Ward came in ami told me. Ht wasn’t dressed any better than he was when he wenF away. I guess be hasn’t brought much back with bin except his wife. He’s married.” “Married!” Virginia sank trembling into a chair "So Mrs. Ward says. She's been over to the hotel to see them.” Dorothy danced in from the kitchen. “Mamma,” she bawled, "the tea is boiling over!” Mrs. Swift hurried out. and Virginia her hands pressed to her throbbing heart, understood the situation.
