After n desperate struggle the other

mounting, this time with e profound sigh

rt moots, when the hone, prompted by
tame dleboliael spirit, started from hie

Of oourse, the Judge had no recourse

lone comfortable barn-yard where he
might nfiweh himself after suoh gigantic

been bis ambitions, oonfined himself to

had the effeot of impressing the Judge
with bis very peculiar and unfortunate
situation, end imparting renewed play end
lightness to his legs.
Ho the two bowled pletsshtly along,
preserving a steady relative distance
until just tut the setting sun wee redden
ing the distant hilla sad touching the
Judge’s mnnly form with gold, the horse
whisked suddenly into s gets end bolted
with eager beats toward s stable dimly
visible in tbe diatunoe.
The farm house sat in s grove of trees
whose shadows made a great darkness
round It, and from this grove, as the
Judge was scampering furiously after bis
horse end wardrobe, there issued sundry

Whan the uproar had subsided, and tbe
Judge, realizing tha absurdity of the sit-

of mind, a female voiee was heard nailing
from tbs house :
‘•Who’e there ?”
“A fellow oreature ia distress, madam."
“Where are yoq t"

“What can I do for you ?"
It was too much. The Judge's old hu

COLUMBUS ENQUIRER-SUN
Is the only thoroughly independent paper South. It believes
we are to win; not by complaining about the past, but
working for the future. While it gives proper space and

tance, it aims .to call the attention of emigrants and capital
ists to our great resources and to build up the South on a
basis that has for its foundation industry and economy.
While disclaiming to be the organ of any creed, party or
society, all its tendencies will be in favor of TEMPER
ANCE, MORALITY and RELIGION. Being deeply
interested in the success Of the farmers, and having implicit
faith in the grand destiny of the GRANGES, the EN
QUIRER-SUN will devote a large space, under a capable
editor, to AGRICULTURE, and in chronicling the move
ments of the Patrons of Husbandry.
THE DAILY ENQUIEER-SUN
Will contain all the latest National, State, Local and For
eign news, devoting much space to Alabama interests. Its
editorial management will be fearless for right, and while
recording passing events it will not neglect the arts, sci
ences and the advancement in the world’s material progress.
THE WEEKLY ENQUIRER
Will give weekly a digest of all Foreign and Natioi •!
news. It willdevoto much space to Southern- intelligei a
and will contain original articles on Agriculture, the Grnn; s
and other matters that will be of incalculable benefit to the
planter and general reader.
