ATHENS BANNER SATURDAY MORNING MAY » 1891
BRAVE LOVE.
“Good Lord de’iver me,” is a sen-
$en«v from the Litany that unconscious
ly rises to my mint I every time I meet»
((••inline, ell round bore, end f era sure
the' every one willeeho my sentiment*.
A txne. heaven*. e rascal or e fool is
preferable ss e nsme, end is preferable
ex a foinpanion as well, for you can be
mi the wsfch for them end know bow
t“ tr. at them, but a bore ? There is no
iL*e to try and evade him, it he ever
even upon yon you are lost and
uiitcht as well surrender with a (rood
grace.
, • •
What is a bore? I give it up, al
though I have my ideas on the subject.
1 have heard it said that a bore was one
who told you about himself what you
would like to tell him about yourself. A
good di-flnition, to be sure, but one
which does not always lit the case. If
y«u are a rival in inytliing what a man
le'N you ab ut himself is interesting,
that is if you ore in earnest, or, if you
hate him, ih -ugh you tak hi u by t
h a I, it is geuvrally good material to
use against him on some future occa
sion.
My definition, and I think it a good
• one, of a bore, is one who is absolutely
i uninteresting. Let him lie the most
i brilliant talker in the world or the most
.gifted mini of the age; if he is uninter-
testing he is a bore, and no matter how
nmie.H /jther people think of him, he will
a Id ‘taysi^c such to you. Some ptople
vwbo were.J)#^* to me have liven tile
tirousQ intwef of people to others null
wipe verms. You cannot tell a bo e
tinniil y.gvo.meet him; then you will
1-know him, oh so well.

This little disquisjtipn on ;bores has
hbeen brought about by a remark made
by a young lady yesterday. “People
: are bores,’’ she said as she gazed on the
i setting sun in a supercilious way. That
was a very broad and sweeping state-
• meat and one that she could not sub-
• st nutate. I begged for an explanation
and she quietly settled me. 1 left final
ly, and wav down in the bottom of my
l heart I agreed witli her.
1 I>bJ von ever say goodbye ? It is an
« expression that means a great, deal and
a very little,according to circumstances.
Sometime* it is all that can be said, a
full heart will not permit more, and
agair. it is but. the prelude to a long
talk.
How differently people say goodbye,
some sadly some flippantly, but how
few really mean what they say or know
w Imt the word signifies.
"**
How many life histories have been
• ended op with good-bye, how many
tear dintned eyes have been all the
dimmer as the tongue uttered the word
good-bye; it is the saddest word hi'4
• the sweetest in the Kngti->h language,
• good-bye, good speed, farewell; all the
. same, are iuexprissively sad.
All that brings to ray mind another
• word which should b; aboli-hed.
absolutely and eutirely, that word
■ is “donate.” It has been
: so long’since I have beard the word
giv • th it|I have almost (orgotton the
. sound of it. Nowadays people cannot
: give a cracker to a beggar, no, that
cracker is donated. I reatl the other day
that a Mr. Blank had donated
: a bushel of potatoes aud that, an-
> other unfortunate individual had dona-
v ted a peck of apples to a charity organ-
:iz ition. I suppose in the course of time
I people will learn how to give,
•until that time the word
tt’iat is so abominable will have
ito stay In the dictionaries, where it has
Ibeen donated and the donors will not,
a hope, donate such a thing again to
a long suffering public.

THE OLD MILL

“Do I know anything about the mins
of this old mill? Well, ye*, stranger, 1
should say I did, if any one does. It be
longs to me, or rather to my wife, what
there is of it. I tell yon I owe much to
this old mill."
The speaker urns dressed in homespun,
and appealed to be a thrifty farmer of
forty-live. I hud tulcen a walk before
breakfast one morning as an appetizer
out from Jonesboro, where I was attend
ing court, and was standing by the ruins
of the old mill when he came np. The
roof had fallen in, windows and doors
disappeared. The old water wboel had
crumbled to decay and green ivy covered
the ruins. The dam was now leveled to
a road, and a cabbage jKitch had taken
the place cf the mill pond.
We took a seat on a moss grown log
by the sido of the ruin, uud he contin
ued:
“I was with Stonewall during the
war, and had soino pretty tough times,
some narrow escapes and. somo hard
tramps, bnt the close call and hard
tramp that this old mill once caused me
made all of my war experience seem, at
least for a time, like a pleasure trip.
This was tho first mill built on Cedar
creek, and was built mauy years ago by
old man Ben White, who lies up yonder
on the hill.
“After the surrender onr army was
disbanded, and the most on us was pret
ty close run. We had nothing, and no
way to'get anything. 1 was only about
twenty-one then. I was strolling round
looking for something to do, uud I hap
pened along this road one morning.
Well, that morning the wheel was in
action. The gate was hinted and the
water was skurrving through. Old Ben
White wue standing in the door. I says:
“ ‘Morning, sir. Can 1 get a job here? -
lie took off his spectacles, wiped ’em.
put ’em back on and looked at ma
“ ‘Soldier?’ says he.
“ ‘I was,’ says 1, ‘till tho surrender.’
“ ‘Luckier tliau my boys.’ says he.
‘One of them staid behind down at Stone
river. The other's lyiug up there on the
hill—shot in front of Richmond and
come home to die,’and t lie old nmu took
out his handkerchief and wiped his eyes.
•Did yon ever work in a mill'/'
“ ‘No.’
“ ‘Well, that don’t make ranch differ
ence,’ said he; ‘business is jacking up
and you can stay. I'm getting old. I'll
pay yoq what I can afford to. We can
tell better in a week or two. Have you
been b > breakfast?
“ ‘I ltave not,’ I stud.
‘“Well, go to the house,’ said he.
Tell Kitty (that’s sny daughter, the only
one the Yanks didn't kill) to give you
breakfast, and come back; yon can work
on the dara to-day. There’s some leaks
that need stopping.’
So I went over the hill to the house.
1 still had my Confederate uniform on.
and Mrs. White met me on the piazza
I saw tears on Iter cheoks, and I suppose
the uniform reminded her of her owu
boys. I told her 1 was going to worlcfor
Mr. White, and that lie sent tne over for
breakfast. So we went in. and she called
Kitty, who poon had my breakfast on
the table. Kitty was about four years
younger than I, the picture of health,
cheeks as red as roses. Her sparkling
eyes kindled a spark in iny heart that
has never gone out. After breakfast 1
went lwick, and Kitty went with me to
tend the mill while her father went to
breakfast. He showed me the leaks in
the dam-before hwWHt.
“In fact, 1 Whrked a week patching np
the old dam, arid after that I worked in
the mill and oh the farm and in the gar
den; drove tlie produce to town, and
became more and more attatclied to La
place and to Bfcn and Martha White and
to Kitty. Ho# I did love that girl! 1
was never so happy as when listening to
the mnsic of ^ her voice. I shall never
forget the e vettings spent in the big front
roonj before thtf’open fireplace wlteu 1
was Ben Whites' hired man—Ben and
Martha, apiTTCitty and L I used to
crack hickory nut* and butternuts on an
old fiat iron, and Kitty popped corn,
while the winter wind was whistling
outside.
“In summer Kitty and I used to go
fishing. Sometimes we would go np the
pond in the boat, and sometimes when
the mill was not running we’d go down
there Mid get inside the big wheel and
fish in the deep hole. There’s where we
generally got the finest fish. One day
we bad just got onr fishing tackle oat of
the mill, and was hesitating whither to
go up the pond or down in the wheel,
when a neighbor came over and asked ns
to lend him the boat. He took it, and
we went down in the wheel. We’d been
fishing probably an hour, and caught
thought that if that was the extent of
the grist we might stand it. We kept np
onr tnr.rch till Kitty gave out. The
wiu-r aud the trump, tramp had
numbed her liir.ba. Her lips moved, but
1 could bear nothing she said. I only
knew that she was i miring down in the
water. I picked her np in tny arms,
with one hand pot her arms around my
neck and resumed my tramp in the mid
dle of the wheel.
“I b -i«ve I felt happier than 1 had
ever felt in tny life. 1 held Kirty iu my
arms. Her anus were around my n.-cfc,
though 1 did put them them. I could
fed her breath on my check. 1 could
walk now easier thou before, bat even
with Kitty in tuy arms 1 begin to tire.
My footsteps were more uncertain. My
limits lx.*gan to fee! numb. At least 1
could di<* with Kitty. I looked at her
face. Her eves were closed Had she
fainted? 1 put uty lips close to her ear.
They touched her face. ‘Kitty! Kitty!'
Her ey<-.> opened. Onr li[« met. Her
arms drew tighter around tuy neck. My
bntin whirled. Was 1 becoming uncon
scious? 1 could feel that i was reeling
ns 1 walked. The water from alxive
ceased to fall. The wheel stopped.
Some one leajied in. I knew no more.
“When 1 came to I was lying iu lied.
Kitty waa sitting by my side, my hand
in hers. 1 had been delirious for a week.
As tny eyes met hers she said. ‘Alex,
dear Alex,'and she stooped and kissed
me. That kiss brought back to my be
wildered brain the events that led to it.
1 did not regret them.
“Uncle Ben had come down to the
mill, and not seeing the boat thought, of
course, we hud gone up the pond He
lifted the floodgate and staru-d the mill
to grind a small grist. Finally bechanced
to see the boat with the ueigubor iu It
out in the pond. He knew that we some
times fished from the wheel, and with

trembling hands closed the gate, rushed I Palmfif & TCjmiPlV)Pftw’SL
down and into the wheel, to find me ret !- I
ing and staggering like a drunken man I
in the water with Kitty iu tny arms.
He got us out, but 1 fell unconscious.
“Ti:e next spring a freshet carried the
old dam away, ami new mil's having
been built iu Jonesboro we reclaimed
the land where the pond leal been, and
the old mill had gone to decay. Rutl
and I were married that fall. Father
and mother lived to see our children
playing round the ruins of the old mill,
and died within a month of each other.
“Now. I've told yon thou story of the
old mill, and if you'll come np to the
house and have a cup of coffee before
you go back to town I’ll show you the
wife I won in the old mill wheel; and
when you take a look at my daughter
Kitty you’ll see my wife as she was when
we entered it that day. Two years after
we were married an ancle of mine died
aud left me a farm np in Knox county,
where we sjiend part of our time: bnt
there’s no place so dear to Kitty and me
as the farm on Cedar creek, for its soil
covers the remains of dear old Ben anil
Martha, and here, besides, are the ruins
of the old mill.”—H. E. Scott in Chicago

This great compendium of history, biography, geography, science, *rt and
literature is especially designed to bring before American readers, in accessible
shape, all the valuable information contained in the great publication upon
which it is based—the Ninth Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
IT TREATS EVERY SUBJECT,
Large or sm 11, mentioned in the original, and ot several thousand topics not to
be found in that work. It tells, at length commensurate with the importance
oi each, of everything which the scholar, the student, the professional and busi
ness man can wish to know about. With infinite labor the rich store-house of
the original has been overhauled, its treasures of fact conserved, its wealth of
material utilized.
Tbe Americanized Encyclopedia Britannica
Is valuable because it is accurate, because it is modern, because it has rejected
the worthless and preserved the necessary, because it brings the history of
science, literature, commerce, geography and discovery, and the mental and
moral development of the race down to the year 1890.
