All the satisfaction tlerivt-d front one, if it lx satisfaction, is ri.licule. Iu the year Is:,) I witnestlone that was far re moved from the nature of a faree. It was a reinarkahle illustration of the way in which man v.ui face man in deadly com hat. It was also beyond doul.t the most brutal allair I haw ev er witnessed, and occurred near the town of(J litman, (ieorria- This place will lie rcuR-mU-red as the scene of the late tiloo.lv race war in that State. About sixteen milt's from the town there is a lar$rc lumlier mill called the Yankee Mill. The plant had Ikh-ii run ning down for some time, so a new itidtnagiT was brought from the north t take charge. 1 le was a iuk-t, unas puniiug fellow, but w hat he said went, or there was trouble, lie was heartily disliked from the first. Tiie f:.st of his being a "Yank'' was sumciciit to bring upon him the displeasure of the eo l!eof the vicinity. In that part of Jeorgia it was consid 'R-l a crime to crime from "north of the line' I once beard the prosecuting attorney of (Juitm.-ui, when addressing a jury, try ing one of the employes of the mill for working on Sunday, declare with great emphasis, as if it were an offense. "Why, gentlemen, this man comes from New Jersey." Hut P.ob llammel had been sent to manage the mill, and he was going to do it, no matter where he came from. In a few weeks those employed iu it found that he was going to rule as absolute and undisputed master of all he surveyed. They, therefore, submitted one and all and mkii the mill was running up to the f-J, (KM feet jn-r day mark of lumW-r cut. Kveij the naturally lay negroes found they had to hustle, I Job was here, there aud everywhere. He knew more nbfiut a mill than all the foreman com bintHl. II? made, however, one blunder that nearly ended his career at the Yankee Mill and on earth. The logs were not m"mg in fast enough to feed the mill IJob had scut word to Kb Ford, the woods lioss, that be could not get the logs. They were also coming in t-lowcr every day. l-i i-onl was not the man to travel fast unless he wanted to. He had made the other foreman wait for him, and so lie decid ed I Job should do likewise. Ford was a terror to the mill hands, and he was the only man in that section able to handle the woodsmen. They were a loajfh lot, mostly mgroes of the lowest type. And though they bail no fear of the Shr;;rthey feared lib Ford, in fact, the whole mill force stood in fear of him. IJ'ib had heard of Ford. He had Ik-cii Warned by the northern of ti.v to keep his eye on him, and if jkis mUiIc to avoid a clash of authority. JJut the clash came. A large railroad order had been sent front the home office with instructions to (ill it with all iossib!e haste. I Job sdioved the mill to her full capacity and was cutting nearly s:;,0)J feet p?r day, snd would have added 10,tJ JVet more to the output, but he could not get the log. JJ.ib sent message after message o Ford, but received no reply, nor were the iog trains any bolter. At last liis patience lieeauie exhausted, and he K-nt Ford word that he would have ni'ire logs or know the reason why. That uight the log train returned empty, aud with it a note inviting IJob to seek a warmer climate, and in plain words telling him to go to Shcol. IJob was mad and jumping u a switch en gine standing in the yard, started up the road for Ford's camp. It was thir ty miles away, but jc drove her and in Iialf all hour surprised Ford by his sud den arrival. Ford st-nul agape hs IJob jump . -d frj:i iIk' engine, but a heavy hand feli on Ui .boulder and brought lam to realize thai there was trouble I'rewing. Then he heard IJob say faintly, "Mr. Ford, I must have more Jogs at the mill. I must have them. !Iget them?'' Ford's only answer vr as a sneering suggestion that IJob 5ai a place below. IJut instead of accepting the sugges tion IJob turned quietly to the fireman of the switch engine ait J said, "Jenks can you run the engine back?'' "Yes, nah," replied the negro. IJob then wrote a note ami gave it to him, say ing, "run her carefully and give Mr. li-'wis thi note. Tell him I shall stay out here all night and to be sure to have a lo traiu here by 4 to-morrow rooming." "IJe careful of her," he called after the departing engine, and then turning and facing Ford lit; said, angrily, "Mr. Ford, at the manager of this plant I shall take charge of the woods. You may consider yourself dismissed. I have determined to sup ply the mill with logs if I have to load the cars myself. "Oh you will," said Ford, sarcastical ly. "I would like to nee you load a log n a car out here. If you try it there will only be another Yank iu the toth--r world that's all. How 'bout it boys?'' h? sai'l, addressing a motley crowd of blacks aud low whites leaning against a pile of logs. "What you says govs," answered one. "You bet it does," replied Ford, "and no Yank is going to dictate to me, not this late day of life. S., sonny, you tins U-tter start and walk to the mill. 'D.-ed you had, because it's mighty d imp hen of nights an 1 yoa tins will le a chilling afire morning. " The neu ou the log laughed. Ford laughed, but IJ b only looked at Ford iu undisguised disgust and started to enter the cabin. Ford sprang iu front tf him aud demanded, "whar ba you uus a g :u'?" IJjb pushed him aside an I started to pass him. IJut Ford was like a madman. He seized a 1 Itiuvy log p":ki and rais 'd it to strike It b, vlit, seeing his peril, jumped ' away fr:u th ; vi;i m b! w, an.l with ! i o'i'eV vviveii) Mit with h's f-Ht threw l ord to the ground. IK then fell ou the prostrate man like a tlgers,iringing on his prey. His fingers which were wrapped round Ford's throat, lighten ed like a vice. Ford tried to tight, but IJob held him as powerless as a Imby. He strangled manfully for mastery, his eyes bulged from their wickets, and his face grew black Ufore he sank to the ground conquered. The crowd of woodsmen who had gtiKHl stupified with amazement at the turn of affairs had taken, seeing their champion helpless rushed at IJob, who sprang away from the helpless Ford and drawing his revolver faced the an gry mob and yelled, "stop w here you are. I will kill the first man who touches me." They slopped as if by magic lowering his voice he ad dressed them in an appeal for fair play: "I have not conic here to hart you or vours," he said. "I wits senl here to take charge. This mill has not paid since it started. You think the o n- ers ol it are maKing a lonune. en they are not. They have invested an enormous sum of money trying to make this plant pay, and have failed. Why? IJecauseyou, whom they have leeen feeding and clothing for years, have used every underhand way j.osi ble to hurt them. They haw failed cause they have had such men t deal w ith as that coward there." As he stid this he vehemently pointed to Ford. "Still such men as he are suii- p irted by the mill, and 5'JJ ther nun are employed by it daily. What would thev and their families do were it not for the Yankee Mill? If it closes where will tiiese 5ih) be able to rind employ ment? The wages paid by the Yankees amounts to over J a year. What other enterprise brings half that amount of money into the county? When I came here the owners were about to close the mill. I agrued to make it pay or forfeit my salary. If I fail you and your families will go hun rrv. If I succeed there will be plenty of work here for all for years to come, and to succeed I ntvd your help. I need legs. Now, will you opv)se me or help me?" Bob stopped to hear their reply. Ford, who had jut recovered from the effects of his defeat, stepped up to him saying: "You can't work your high llown gab on these men. They knows I am the only man that can run these woods, and there is no siiiooih-tonin-d Yank going to dictate to me. If you uns try to loud any bigs here, I plant you, sure!'' Bob eyed Ford quietly and replied, "why wait until to-morrow? Lei's have it over with at once. I have my revol ver, draw yours and let's see who is the best man." "You have the drop on me," retorted Ford. "You are afraid to fight square." IJob lowered his revolver, saying, "I will fight you any way you may name." "You will?" yelled lord. "Then I w ill fight you with black snake whips." "Agreed," replied IJob. I had noticed IJob jump on the switch engine and drive lur tip the road, and I felt sure there would ie trouble in the wo:ds. The expression on his face told me that. I also knew he was up against a hard game, for I knew Ford to Ik- an ugly customer when aroused, and I dreaded the pos sibility of tiieir meeting. I was think ing of him anl worrying over the pos sibility of his getting hurt, when I heard the whittle of No. 4, and iu a few moments she stood puffing in the yard. I ran to her, expecting to see IJob, but Iu. was non est, only Jciik's black face was visible in the cab. Then Jeiiks called to me, and said, "Mr. Ix-wis here am a note, Masscr IJob done sent it to you. I fe am a gwing to stay dar inder wood all night, an" I 'spieion sojiiethin'll h:p;ien afo' morning cos I done heari'.i' him start after Kb Ford afore I started back." It was getting dark and the whistle had blown to quit. I told Jenks not to draw the fire from No. 4. Then I went over to the boarding house and culled Jim Stokes, the shipping clerk. He was a bright fellow, and I knew he would fight till he dropped if we bad trouble. I also called Bradley, the en gineer of No. i He was another man on whom I could depend in cast- we had to fight. We examined i.ur pistols aud started up the road on No. 4. driv ing her till she threatened to leave the rails. I noticed little Jeiil.s sharpen ing a kuife and asked him what he was going to do with it. "I's a-goiu" tcr fight for Mar Bob," he replied. When we reached the log camp it ap peared d -serted a'ld was ;n dark as pitch. We stopped and groped our way to a louely shanty from which a ray of light beamed. Inside we found an old nego welieh crruehiug clme. to the fireplace. "Where aro the men?'' I deman led of her. "Dey's all d ine gone to Dry Lake," she answered. "An' I reckon dey w ill fight for sho." "Who will fight?" I asked. "Kb Ford and the Yankee bss,' she plied. "An" dey w ill have it out an' don't yo forget it. Cos der new boss done showed Kb he kin fight, an' be aiu't af'-ared of her debble no how, he ain't." I was trembling with excitement and tsked her how long they hal liecn gone. "AUiut live minutes," she re plied. Turning to the other I said, "Boys we must make fur Day Lake. What show will one man stand am vug those savages?" We lost no time leaving the shanty and hurrie 1 thraugh the black w.i:L Jenks knew the way and we kept close t his heels. He did not need a light, for a negro can see well in the dark. We walked on rapidly, naw tripping over the underbrush, now sinking to our knees in the marsh, now stumbling against fallen trees, but we did not mind trifles for we had a mission to perform, and, perhaps a friend's life depended on our haste. Jenks did not need aiiy urging. He run through the woods like an animal. We, fol lowing close after him, lieard voices ahead. Jenks stopiied and exclaimed, J "we s dar, Ixiss." I proceeded lo the edge of the forest and jieering through the trees beheld the men all grouped together. The full moon had risen and its bright rays shone on the hard ened facets of the men, who lo;ked ls tial in the soft yellow light. I return ed to my companions, and, after relat ing my observations, we held a council of war which resulted in our deciding to await developments, but to hold ourselves ready for any emergency. Crawling close to the edge of the woods we were able to secure a full ; 'iew of the moli. Thev w-re standing i la a small clearing near the lake, which had formerly breti occupid f.-r a log camp. I noticed Bob and Kb . Ford in the centre of the camp. They j were debating some subject in not very ! choice language. Then pursuing ; through the crowd to the woods thev ; Ifi'tui todisroV. til! thev stood trii). ped to the waist. Now was my time to see Rob If I hoped to be of any assistance to him. After craw ling close to him I managed to attract his attention, ami ho walked over to me and whispered, "i,tay where you are, I have the confidence of these men. If they see you they may grow suspicious, and turn against me. My troubles here will soon lie over if I suo ceed in w hipping this brute, and I am confident of my ability to do so." Af ter again warning me to keep Sn con cealment, he returned to the crowd where Ford was impatiently awaiting him. 1 had surmised they wen: preparing to light with nature's weapons, and was greatly surprised to see each man choose a long, blacksnake whip. I st-aid lost in astonishment and wonder, and could not realize what I was to witness. Standing again? I noticel some men draw a ring around the con testants and then one of them called, "go," Ford sprang at his adversary and clashed his whip with a vicious cut, but Bob sprang out of harm's way, and the blow only cut the air. Before Ford could regain his euuilibruni Bob's whip rise in the air and fell uiin his neck leaving a long cut from which the blood spurted. Then like lightning lioth w hips again fell, leaving large bloody w heljis on the Ixidy where they struck. Bob evaded another vicious blow, and a quick snap of his w hip cut Ford's chest like a knife. With a roar of pain Ford slashed his whip around Bob's waist, leaving a red circle from which the blood flowed plentifully. But Bob did not even flinch from the blow, for he advanced ou his man, his whip steadily falling upon Ford's neck and shoulders, every blow cutting him to the quick, and the punishment le coniing terrible. Ford slowly and dog gedly hacked away from Bob as he advanced, and fought, back with the desperate courage lrn of d "pair. The Indies of lioth men were cover ed with blood, and it was evident that one if not IkuIi of them, must soon suc cumb to the terrible, castigatiou to which they were Wing Suli jectcd. Suddenly Ford stopind re treating an 1 sprang at Bob, just in time to evade a vicious blow, and in doing so, his body struck Bob heavily causing him to fall to the ground. Ford was quick to take advantage of his opjHiriunity and rained blow after blow upon his fallen enemy liefore he coiiid regain his feet. Boh sprung up like an i:ifumtd beast ulld rushed Ford back against the crowd and quickly jumping backwards he crack ed his whip and cut a large piece of tlesh from out Ford's side. Ford howl ed with pain aud started to rush Bob, but was met by such a terrible cut from the whip that it seemed to me his Uidy must surely be severed in two. Not for a second did Bob cease his terrible punishment, but slaslnd his whip un mercifully around his toe. i-onl re treated out of the ring toward the crowd, but Bob saw his game, and springing iietween the crowd aud his friends he slashed him toward the lake. Ford was lighting liack madly, and did not realize where he was going un til the cold water of the lake brought him to realization of his danger. Then he struggled like a fiend, slashing blindly in the air, cur.-ing wildly and calling his friends to help him. One of them sprang forward to do so, but I leajK-d out and covered him with my revohcr, and appealed to the crowd for fair play. A, dozen pair of hands dragged him back into their midst. Ford seeing his last hope vanish, fought with the fury of a dying tiger, but bis strength was leaving him, and little by little his more vigorous opponent forced him into the lake. Ford's ftreiigth was gone and with one la-t dc.-perate .slash of his whip, he sank from view. Bob dove after him, and with my assistance dragged him ashore more dead than alive. Tiie crowd broke into a wild cheer for the Yankee boss, and I started to embrace him but he pushsl me away saying lie was too sore to lie touched. We made a stretcher, and some of the iii'ii carried Ford, while Bob leaned on my shoulder, his b-xly sti'I bare and bleeding. We stajrgcred through the woods at last reaching the camp. Then Stokes and I helped Bob on the engine, aud started for the mill, when IJob fuiutcd from exhaustion and loss of blood. J lis p, i;ir body was a sight, ai-d the blood flowed profusely from the many cuts. I feared for his life, and told Bradky to drive her. We were soon at the mill, and I aroused the young physician who lived there. He hastened to attend Bob, w ho had regained consciousness, and insisted that the doctor should attend to Ford first. So Bradley ran up to the camp, and I wired (juituiun for another phy sician for Bob. In two weeks Boh was able to lie out, and the mill ran as it never hud been known to rua before.

Sr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy Makes Another Remarkable Cure- (From the Time 1'iiUin, Allxiny, N. V.) Four years ago, Mrs. Markham, who resides on First street, corner of North Swan, noticed a sensitive sjiot on her left limb. It was apparently nothing serious, but soon develojieil iuto a sore, and before long the limb was a mass of ulcers. Mrs. Markham employed some of our liest physicians, but ob tained no relief. In fact, was told that nothing could be done for her. so for four years she suffered with these dreadful ulcers, which had eaten their way to the ixiiie. A little less than a year ago, an a quaintance told her about Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, and that he U'licvcd she would find relief in us ing it. Mrs. Markham's four years of fullering hal made her skeptical, the more so, as she had obtained no relief from any of the physicians who had attended her. The friend olfcred to send her a lot tleof Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy if she would try it. He did so, and there was such a decided improvement that she concluded to give the remedy a fair test. Tis-day, not quite a year af ter taking the first dose, the ulcers have disappeared, all that is left to show what she has suffered, is a swell ing on the ankle of the left limb, which is fast disappearing. Mrs. Markham is naturally strong in her praises of Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, ami feels that but for it she would now be a helpless crip ple, if not a corjise. Such a straight forward endorsement needs no comment, Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy cures diseases when taken according to directions, it acts directly upon the kidneys, liver and blood. In cases of nervousness, dys-IH-psia, rheumatism, ulcers, eld sores, blood poisoning and Bright's disease, it has made pronounced cures, after all other cures have failed.

He Knew All About It Farmer Jenks is a man who is so de sirous of lving considered infallible that he will sutler great inconvenience rather than relinquish that claim. "He'd rutlier have his own way than cat when he's hungry," says his wife, who, after long years of contention and final yielding, has learned to kuow him well. Not long ago Farmer Jenks injured one of his fingers so severely that he was obliged to leave his wor'.: r.u.I go home to have it dressed. "I'll tell you what, Jane," said he to his wife, "that finger's got to come off." "No, 'twon't either, father," said he soothingly. "I've seen plenty hurts worse' n that." "Jane, I tell you 'twill ! Don't you s'jKise I. know what to expect of my own linger'.'" The dispute ran high, and as usual the husliuud had the last word. Days went on aud the linger grew worse rather than better, until at last it reached such a state that the doctor was called. He had not been in the room fifteen minutes when Farmer Jenks summoned his wife. "Jane," said he "eome; here; come right here ! What do you s'p.iso he says?" "Well, I guess by the way you're sin i li ii he says it's ail right," said she, also beginning to smile iu relief. "I must say I am glad ! Your forefinger, and ou the right hand !

"Then ycr my pri.'nt rs," said the policeman, ami he triumphantly march ed oil" with them to the village station house-, he leading the liear, Arraigned ln-fore the police justice, the Italian plead guilty, and the judge officially gave him a most severe and scorching lecture on the enormity of his offense, ending by fining him 10, the full extent of the law. The culprit had a lot of small change in his p.H-ket, but being mostly ieiniics and nickels it only counted up to $7 5:). For a few moments the judge was in a iiuandry. He didn't want to send the fellow to Jail nor yet le the? 10. Presently a bright idea struck hini a happy solution of the problem and he said : "Here, officer, take this fellow out to the market place and let him perform with his bear until he makes up the balance, aud when he gets it drive him out of town." liuffalo Xnc.

"It is curious," said a man yesterday, 'the various sensations a man experie nces when he g'H-s to see a doctor or a dentist. There is a long, preliminary siege of mental agony, alternately exap; gerting and belittling your ailment, until finally in a moment of dcsik-rsi-t ion you decide to go and se what is the matter any way. Perhaps you have a cold, which has settled on the lungs and developed a troublesome couli that kiH-jis you awake nights. The cough itself is not so bad as the teiril-lo jiossihilitics it suggests. Visions of swift demise from pneumonia or slow- wast ing away with cou.-.uinption rise up lie fore your eyes, and every wheeze and cough confirms these terrible premoni tions. If you could, you would go then iu a hurry, but in the morning you fe 1 I ct I er. The cough is still there, but the ter rors of the imagiua'ioii have fled U fore the daylight, ho you put it oil" another day. But finally you decide to go, and, with firmness bom of despair, march up to the medical man's door to learn your fate. In case of toothache every one knows how a tooth will Imp and jump and smart all day until you get to the dentist's and then calm down so piict and painless that you can't till which one was aching. It is the same way with a cough or other ailment. As you go up to the door you secretly hope that the doctor is not at home. You pull the doorlx-11 gently, and half w ish you had not come. Then the fuunie.-t part of it all is how mad you w ill get when you find thed-K-toris not at home, and feel as if you had b.-en cheated out of one of your dearest hopes." ll'oi- He Had Done Both. Iioverspike was married. His friend (biddings contemplated matrimony. "I suppose," said (iiddingx, "that it comes a triile hard to face a girl's fath er and ask hini fr the band of his daughter?" "Well, yes," repli.-l Do verspike, reil-s-tively. "It -l-s-s come rather difficult, but it i.-n't a murker to facing the mother of a girl yon have been courting for a year or so, after yoti have concluded that you like some other girl better when you nuct the eld lady accidentally some time after breaking with the daughter." XTnaecessary to Specify "Wliich Noaa. Two j-oting ladies on the street c-:ir were diseussiu an aiiraehiu' mar tiafje, apparently t!Iiviotis of :di else tli:t was juLs.-iu;'-, and this was the eou ver;itio:i as overheard ly others on the -ar : The invitations are just out, I under stand."
