Shortly, after tho appearance of Ibis notico
Miss Itedmond received a letter postmarked
at Ilawkinsville, Ga. Tho writer said he
hud road Iho notico and desired to open up
a correspondence with thd author of tho ad
vertisement. The lady answered tho letter
Immediately, tuition anhrialcii correspon
dence begun.
Sho vf rote numerous letters. She said sho
was a brunette, that sho was alt accom
plished pianist and voalUt; in short, she
thought she could beagood wifc,aud Would
try to mako hercorrespondent happy if they
should becomo tinllid In marriage. The
Southern man answered oil tlie-lctters, nnd
wroto that ho was a farmer, of middle age,
nnd in coiiiTdnablofrcumstan&i Ho said
that ho had n,tito n, largo farm near Haw
kinsvillc, and thaf ho had a plenty of every
thing to support a family., Some, of the 1 t
tcrs wero vory-toiider.
A few weeks ago Miss Itedmond wroto to
her corresjiondent that sho thought tho time
had come for action, nnd that if ho would
marry her sho would go to him ut onco mid
have tho ceremony performed. To this hint
sho received an answer, telling her to come
at once; and that he would bo reedy to re
ceive her with open arms and mako her his
wife.
Miss Hcdjnond at pneo read to her mother
and brother tlio letter that bad made her
feel so. happy. A trip South was hastily
planned.- Tho other two members of the
lamily said llicy would go with her, nnd seo
the aifair douo up in the best of style. No
new clothes were needed. All that had to
bo dono was to bundle up such clothes as
wero nt hand. Soon tho trio were on their
way to Georgia. On arriving nt Atlanta
they boarded the train for Ilawkinsville.
It was reached in safety, and it was ascer
tained that tho farmer for whom they were
searching lived about fourteen miles from
that place, and that tho slago would not
come until the following day. The services
of a stago wero procured at an advanced
prico and tho journey was continued. Af
ter a drive of hours over a rough road and
through a barren wasto of country, tho stago
was pulled up in front of a log cabin. It
was midnight. Tlio travelers knocked on
tho door, and an old, gray-haired man
looked out and usked, who is there. On
being answered friends, tho situatiod was
fully explained.
Tlio old man dressed himself nnd asked
tho visitors to step in. Tlio surpriso or tlio
young lady when sho saw that her lover
was mi ancient wreck of humanity can be
imagined. She turned away from him
with a shudder and with a feeling of great
diiappointmeiit. Tho mother bceamo wrathy
and tlio brother uttered a few not very
complimentary remarks witli referenco to
tlio " old cuss," as ho termed tlio former.
An invitation to party to remain until mom
mg waslimiennutly spurnetl, and the young
lady, much depressed in spirits, accompani
ed by her indignant mother and brother,
entered tlio stago and wero soon on their
way-to Ilawkinsville.
They met a negro and asked him how
tho old man stood from it financial stiiuil
polul. Tho old negro looked up and re
marked :" Whv, missus, dat man hain't
got a cent, ami his farm is so po dat n
ground mole would starvo to todef on it."
Tlio visitors are on their return to New
York city. Atlanta Constitution,
MOW AN ELECTION WAS WON.
Somo years ago, Ituss, our own G. W.,
lived in our adjoining county of Itiplcy. Ho
was then a Republican in a democratic
county. What his politics ara now wo don't
know and don't care cither. We only know
he is a manly, big hearted gentleman that's
all wo care about these times. But the sto
ry. Tin sa was a republican candidato for
Sheriff in tlio Democratic county of Ripley
and as a mater of course wanted all tho
votes he could get. Then as now ho was
passionately fond of gunning and always
owned a fine gun and "dogs. In this coun
ty was nn old Gcrnian,'wc; will "calMiim
Juke. He also was a .hunter and a power
among tho boys. Ho kept a little country
doggery and his iiillucnco was worth about
30 votes. In duo time Russ met Jako and
a talk about hunting, guns and dogs rather
warmed the dutchman towards Russ, al
though Jako was a Democrat. Aftera while
Russ saw ono of Jakes lank, potbellied poin
ters and commenced to givo uway tally.
" Jake," said Russ, " that's a mighty fine
dog. ll'hcro did you get him!"
Jake replied to the effect that ho raised
that kind of dogs.
"Well, I tell you,1' said Russ, "I am very
fond of hunting, and if lam elected Sheriff
this Fall, shall indulgo myself in shooting
to my heart's content. If not elected I will
not be able to shoot much. I will give you
$50 for that dog, Jake, if I want him after
the election, and hero is a $5 note to bind
tho bargain." Jake tickled to death at the
fine and quick sale of tho dug, which
was worUi about 50 cent, took the bill aud
as a consequence his end of the county gave
Russ a handsome majority, and Russ was
elected, barely pulling through. Soon after
his installation, Jake put in appearance,
dragging the unwilling cur at his heels.
" Mister Russ," said Jake, "you yos now
elected Sheriff von dls gounty uud here Is
dose dog. Gif mo my vurty-vivo dollars."
"Jake," said Russ," I find my time will
not allow me lo hunt as much as I thought
it would t you mar keen the dog and tho

Juke studied a long time, tbeu took a
long breath and said:

KISSING THE SEMNT-GIRL.
MRS. T.OM WJXKINS' STORY.
I confess' I was very angry; Well, I may
as well begin at the beginning and tclf you
the whole story. When I married Tpm
Wilkins, nil my friends said 1 had made a
fool of myself really' thrown myself away,
with my advantages to. I should have
done so much bctlcr, and much more to the
same purpose. Well, to bo sure, Tom Is a
big, stupid fellow, neither rich nor hand
some, but I loved htm, and what other ex
cuso docs a woman need for an oct of folly ?
But Tom had ono fault that troubled mo
greatly he was a most inveterate kisser,
Before we were married ho used to kiss ni.
tho girls who "visited his sisters, and after.
wards ho kissed all my old school friends
who camo to tho, bouse, nnd oven kissed
mother, and you must conccdo that a man
Is a great kisser who would kiss his mother-
in-law. Well, all this I lore in silence, if
not with patience, "till ono morning, com
ing out of my room, what should I seo but
Tom nt tho head of tho stairs actually kiss
ing Sara Ann, the hired girl. Tiiat was a
little more than human nature, or at least'
woman nature, could bear. 1 sat down till I
hud recovered myself a little, and allowed
Tom time to reach tho dining room. When
at last I went down, ho advanced with his
usual smilo to kiss me, but I drew back an
grily.
" Why, Jessie, what's tho matter?" ho
said, looking surprised, "am I not to havo a
kisa this morning?"
"As you havo already had tho pleasure of
kissing Sara Ann, I think that will do lor
ono morning. I should not fancy tlio flavor
of your kiss after that."
Tom actually blushed. "Oh, you saw
that did you, Jessie?" Well, Where's tho
great harm in that? It's my motto to imbibe
sweetness wherever I find it."
"Well, I fancy you did not imbibe a great
deal from that source, and the harm Is that
it lowers your dignity as head of tho family,
besides giving the servants exaggerated op
inions of their own importance."
"What nonsense. I don't suppose Sara
Ann will ever think of it again, any more
than I should if you had not taken mo to
task about it."
"You seem to forget, Tom, that persons in
her position arc not so intelligent ns those in
ours. They judge almost wholly by actions,
aud I am quite sure Sara Ann thinks you
aro in lovo V'ith.hcr."
"Don't mako a mountain out of a mole
hill, my dear."
"Well, Tom, how would you liko tosco
me kissing old Eben?"
" Well really, If you should over havo tho
least desire to kiss old Eben, I don't think I
could find it in my heart to object," laugh
ed Tom, as ho closed tho door and went
away.
Old Ebcn had come from my own neigh
borhood, nnd wo. our, man of all work, and
tho ugliest mortal that I ever set eyes on.
So I could not but acknowledge there might
bo a Uillercnco between kissing him and
Sara Ann, who was really good looking.
Well, I felt so bad that I could not help
sitting down aud having a good cry. In
tho midst ofitlsaw somo ono coming up
tho walk, who wassmlllngnnd beckoning to
me, as though well assured of a welcome. It
proved to bo my brother John, who had
been from homo for years. Wo wero ex
pecting him, but not so soon. After tho
grectiugs were over, and wo wero a little
quieted, lie questioned me about my tears
and nt length drew from me tho whole
story.
"So they wero not so far wrong in saying
you made a fool of yourself by marrying
him, eh, Jcssiol Well, why don't you mako
him put himself in your place?"
" Oh, John, you don't mean for mo to"
"Kiss old Eben? hardly," said John, dri
iy, "but you can put me iu Ebcu's placo for
a low nays."
"Oh, John, that Is just tho thing. Ho
was to havo gono home last week for a few
days, but his nephew, who was coming lo
t.ko his placo was taken ill, and ho was
obliged to givo up going.
"Well, tell him you havo got somo ono to
take liispacc,andget him oll'thisaftcrnoon,
and now, before any ono sees me, I'll go back
tc tho hotel whero I left my baggago, and
dlsguiso myself a little."
Well, I sent Ebcn off and soon John camo
back changed beyond recognition, with a
bluo shirt and overalls and hi hair combed
back behind bis ears and plastered smooth
ly down to his head. Ho looked very fun
ny, but ho went about his work in such a
stoical, indifferent way that ono would havo
thought it tlio life he had always led.
When Tom came home I casually remark-'
ed that Ebon's nephew, Teddy O'Drien, hod
come to take his place, and he had at last
gono home to pay a visit and I was so pleas
ant nnd chatty that Tom thought I had quite
forgotten tho occurrence, of the inorniug.und
ho was very amiable and sweet iu conse
quence. In the morning I was up betimes. Tom
likes his morning nap, and while apparent
ly solicitous that Lo should not bo disturbed,
I at the samo time took care to make noise
cnougli to keep him wide awake though he
lay with his eyes closed, pretending to
sleep.
At last I heard a step, in the hall, and
opening tho door; cautiously, called Sara
Ann, but.lt was Teddy who answered.- i
"Tho lop of tho mornln' to you, Missus;
its as fresh and swato as a roso you're look
in an' what can I do for you, Mum?"
"Ah, Teddy, Is it you? I'd liko some hot
water, if you'll tell Sara Ann to bring It.
" I'll bring it myself in a jiffy," 6aid Ted
dy, disappearing down the stairway. In nn
incredibly short time he reappeared with it.
" Why, Teddy, bow quick you aro 1"
"Shure, Mum, and who wouldn't bestir
himself for so swate a loddy as you ?"
"Ah, Teddy, like all your conntrymon
you have kissed the blarney stone."
" Niver a stone, Mum, but I mind well
when wo wero children together. Many's
the time I've kissed your swate lips; ah,
and I would I were a boy again.
"What for, Teddy?"
"Shure, a ad wouldn't I bo doing that
same again. Ah, Mtjm, this is for the sake
of old tirues'ana thereupon lie kiased mo
with a noise a (ittlo leu than a clap of Ihun-,
der.
" Why Teddy, have you taken leave of
your senses? Do yon forget I'm a married
woman ?"

stole." " "
"Bupposo my husband had heard you?"'
Ho never fear, he's sleeping Jilt an
elephant."
" Oh, you naughty Teddy, begone."
" Going, Mum ;" and repeating the smack
ho disappeared down the stairway, just as
Toni called to know who was there.
" It is I, Tom dear," I answered sweetly.
"And who else?"
" Oh, only Teddy brought up the hot wa
ter. Will yougct tip now before It gets
cold?"
Tom said no more, but I saw he was fur
tlvely watching me all tho time I was dress.
Ing. At length ho saidt
" What sort of a fellow is thlsTeddy ?"
"Oh, Torn," I exclaimed ; 'the nicest fel
low. I'm sure when you seo him you'll
agrco with me that it will be better to dis
miss Ebcn ond keep Film instead ; you know
wo were children together."
"My dear Jessie, nint you a little I I
thought I fiSfd "
"All, yes," I interrupted; 'that door
does squeak dreadfully. I'm sorry it woke
you; but it won't inako much difference, for
it's time to get up anyway. There, I'm all
dressed before you havo begun, so I'll go
down and getsoino llowors."
When Tom camo down I was In the dining-room
arranging my flowers. Teddy
standing bV me, and as Tom camo in he,
pretending not to see him, remarked I
" Well, to my thinking, there's not a flow
er among tncrnlialf so'swoTeasyou" then,
perceiving Tom, he pulled his forelock nnd
scraped his foot in regular servant style.
" Mornin' sir ; it's tho master I s'iioso you
aro; fuino weather, sir, for tho time of the
year."
Tom lookedjust Turious.
" It seems to me, young man, you don't
know your place very well; In future, con
fine yourselfto yourownqtiartcrs and sieak
when you'ro spoken to."
"Shure, I mean no offense, sir."
"Will you go, and without replying?"
Tom stormed.
"Why, my dear Tom," I remarked, smil
ing sweetly, " what a strange dislike you
seem lo hnvo laken to poor Teddy. I was so
iu hopes you would liko him as I do, and
take him In Ebon's placo."
" If he don't mind what he's about, I'll
kick him out of doors."
Tho breakfast passed in absolute silence.
As wo wero passing tho pantry on our way
to tho parlor, wo heard Teddy's voice, aud I
inado Tom stop to listen.
" It's a foinc lookin" gal you are,Sura Ann
nnd I'd give you n k is-", I would, iudade, if
your britli didn't smell so of tngious."
" Ingions, indado ; and who axed you for
a kiss? Do you 'sposo I'd bo wanlin' one
from tho likes of you when 1 pan get them
from my betters ?"
" My butters ! and who do you call' my
betters?"
" Shuro and isn't the master himself that
kisses mo every blessld mornin of his life;
aud does ho spako of ingions? not mulch."
"Tho master 1 Nuw it's Jnkin' you are,
Sara Ann; do you 'sposo I'm fool cnougli to
belavo that "
" Belavo it or not, it's tlio blessed truth
I'm tclliu' you. Shure, if anything should
happen to tho missus; it's not long I'd b
servant hero."
" And it's kisses you you say hedoes; well
It's quaro creatures you wimmen are, any
way. Now men think it disgraceful to kiss
aud tell, and hero you boast of it.
Wo waited to hear more, but Tom's face
was in a blaze, and ho took his bat and left
without a word or look.
Tho next morning Teddy nnd I managed
to be in tho same place, on the stairs whero
I had seen Tom kiss Sara Ann, aud as ho
opened tho door, Teddy kissed mo loud
enough lo bo beard all over the house, and
then hurried nway while I went on to tho
dining-room. Tom camo in presently with
an awful frown, which I pretended not to
sc?, and held up my faco lobe kissed, bnt he
pushed mo rudely away.
Why Tom I uln't you going to kiss mo J"
" Do you think I am blind, Mrs. Wilkins?
I saw that Teddy kiss you just now, and It's
not the first time cither. Do you think I'll
stand such dulngaZ Nol I'll break every
bono in tho rascals body, if I hang for it,
and you shall go homo to your mother till
you learn to behuve yourself."
"Now, my dear Tom, where is the harm
In that? I belicvo in Imbibing sweetness
wherever I find it; so don't make a moun
tain out ol a molehill."
