t
Gone to the wedding. All
gomvbnt uie and the baby. I'm
good lor something yet. I can
taVt: ca'ri of the grandchildren
when the mother; and grand -mollier
are away. I sorter
waotcniUi i to the wedding, too,
but I inade out like I didn't, for
I knew somebody had to stay
with tho child, the sweet little
girl thru love me 1and calls we
"daiiipr." I never, saw a wom
an th5. : dila't love a wedding.
Ta-? Virii io, too, except some.
Hear ! a .sour old bachelor say,
fA maiiliie always makes me
feel ead. It is a transition from
fre:3-ra into slavery. It re
mind5; me of a religious fanatic
goirtr o China as a missionary,
or a beautiful- -girl taking the
veil .and going into; a nimnery."
Ami there are inaqy old saws
and sayings such as "Marry in
haste and repent at leisure" and
"Marriage a lottery in which
ninety-nine draw blanks aud
one gets a prize" and Matrimo
ny is a cage and those who are
out wish to get in, and ever so
many more insinuating reflec
tions. 13 it it does not matter.
The we ldings are going on and
-they win be talked abuit and
patrt.::?zd and enjoyed just as
thf lav" b-?eh for G,000 years.
It is a 1, dark nigift and the

ing to scripture for; folks who
go to weddings should have
werldiiir ga rments In fact, that
is a oud put-b the wedding
especially . with j the women
folks. Fine cloths 'are just as
natural to wpoien .as Ion? hair
or by ji'iik. It has been &o for
all tlivio, A'iut Sally Abraham
and Mrs. Uabcca Isaac and Mrs.
Rachaei .Jacob were all dressy.
Isaac du-lit Miss P Rebecca by
shining her eyes with a pair of
earring that-cost 'him 75 cents
Mrs. Jacob didn't have but one
daughter, and Josephus, -the
historian, says that the reason
Miss Dinah went over to Shec
hem was she wanted to ,see the
finery of the women of that
city. Just so. '
It's like our Cartersville folk?
running down to Atlanta to see
the l:it"-t fashions; and how the
city vcvnien dress.i ; That is all
right, If the hu3ba;nd or tie fa,

who i? any account likes good

becomo oL'.lhe .poor people who
mako - I don't knw yet
wha t k i i; u of finery the ; lad ies
had r u the this wedding but
I will kuow in due time. It is
to be a", old-fashioned wedding
a grand f-.'iTair and 'they have
been fix. rig for it a long time.
Tnkey3 and pigs and ducks
and oysters and crabs have
sacrificed in reckless abundance
and there'd & big closet right
fall of cake aud another closet
full of syllabub and floating
islands and crystal mountains
and Qneen Charlotte, and Tom
and Jeny, and Punch and Judy
and jams and jellies, world
without end enough to feed a
regiment they ay, and my
folks have hinted that they
will big me a sample if I will
take good care of the baby,
i She is wak
ing up right 'now and will he
calling her mamma in a few
minutes. So mote it be.
A mail can't do much with a
baby in the night when the
mother ;s trone. Fci nearly two
hours I nave worked with that
child aud every few minutes
she begged for her mamma. -1
got hsr picture bobkaud talked
dog end cat and monkey. I
showed her Santa1 Clans and
Bluebeard. I walked and walk
ed ar;d walked nad sang all my
little songs and patted her back
as I marched to my music. '
twirled silver dollars on the
marble top table. I got down
the fiddle and let her saw on it
with the bow. I tickled the
dogs foot aa he slept on the rug
ana so by shifting the scenes. 1
kept hee little mind employed
until the little eye began to
droop and with a sigh and a
sob i.hi st to sleep.
V It was a struggle against time
j and her mother came soon after
I had whipped the fight. They
all came and Ihey came a talk
ing and they were so sorry that
I missed it all. for it was a fine
wedding and a fine feast and a
very fine party, and everybody
was so nice and the young folks
were splendid, and the bride
was a picture and her maids
were charming and the music
exquisite and the presents were
just magnificent and ether ad
jectives and adverbs, interjec
tions and exclamations too. te
dious to mention, oh yon ought
to have been there, you don't
know what you have missed.
I know it all now, I think I
dor eveiy bon mot, fox pas and
Jew de sprit, I know which had
the " rhoet beautiful dress and
which the sweetest manners, I
know wht) was the finest look
ing gentleman and who was the
hungriest, and who the thirst
iest, and who was the most cap
tivating I know all about the
beautiful presents and who gave
them, and how lovely the btide
looked, and how long was her
train and all about her pearls
and diamonds', and what the
preacher said.
Uut it wasent an old fashion
ed wedding after all, for the
bride and the groom left all
that goodly company about 11
0 clocfc and came to town and
took the midnight tram for
Florida, slipped away like they
were ashamed of the business.
1 never did like that. They
might have stayed a few days
anyhow, and comforted the
poor muther, who has given up
bar only child to a man who is
no liiu to her and never did any
thing for her except to give her
a ring and bird and a poodle
dog, and a few other presents
that won't cure the heartache
nor stifle a pain nor asigh.
They might have stayed a day
or two and had an infare at the
groom's mothers like we used
to do in the good old times.
Bat we never hear of infares
now and our grown up children
dident know what an infare was
until their mother told them.
It is an old Scotch custom, and
I like it. When we were mar
ried we had a big time, too ac
cepting the silver presents, and
I stayed that night at her father-in-law's,
and that was the
infare, and then we never took
no train for nowhere, for 1 had
work to do and we just lived
back and forth among the old
folks until we were able to
build a two-room house and set
up for ourselves family fashion.
I was ruminating abont'three
beautiful wedding presents,
these silver forks and spoons
by the grots and silver tea ser
vice and silvery things, and
how they may possibly come
into service sure enough and
be very handy sometime if the
wolf ever comes to the door, or
if we should have another war
and the currency get worthless
like it did in the last. I remem
ber when some oi our best peo
pie had to slip round on the sly
and sell a few spoons or a few
forKs to get something to live
ob. una time l gave a broken
down man &I.OCO for half a doz
en old -time honored table
spoons that had been in his
family for four generations and
kept as a family relic. It hurt
him bad to part with them but
I thanked him for using thac
much of my worthless money
Silver things are very beautiful
to look at, but Solomon says:
"He that loveth silver shall not
be satisfied with silver." On
the whole, I don't know that
there is much difference be
tween these silver wedding
presents and the kind that we
got when we were married.
Ours were black and tan color,
and walked about, and didn't
have to be kept under lock and
k?y, but they eat up and wore
out a power of vittels and
clothes, and I never could make
the account ballance, until the
war was over, with an excep
tion they were an expense and
a care, and gave us trouble. Of
coujrse I do not count. Tin for
Tip was never our slave but
was our friend. Tip - grew.- up
with the children and waa one
of them. Tip was my trusted
confidential servant. No, I
dont think there is much dif
ference iu the r presents then
and the presents now. One
gave us the love of dominion;
and the other gives us the
love of show. Then let the
procession. proceed. Bill Akp.
P. S'.; A friend has sent me
the Chicago Herald of January,

"POOR WHITES:"
HOW THEIR ERAiyS

A FINE TRIBUTE TO THE WORKING
PEOPLE OF TjUS COUNTRY
. Apropos of the following article
from the St. Lonis Republic, the ed
itor of tbe S;atdvi!le Landmark

do it boldly, that the article, 'Poor

Advance Editor,
In a bouk recently written on
American iustimtioiis, nd iQceQX
tended as a text-bok, a New En
gland college professor Speaks
contemptuously of what he calls
tbe "poor whites" of tha South, as a
clas which cave I ttla for liberty and
does not know how to niaiutaia, it
He does not eem to be gailty of
falsehood; he n telling. the truth to
the hest of his aVuty, Vnd if his
erior leads him into slander, it is
uot bacauso of malice bnt because
of a deficieijt knowledse of Ameris
can history, influenced to some ex
tent perhaps by the contempt for
poverty wiiij'a is uafortonately too
general.
If Mr. fiosmer knew the history
of the yeomen ho . calls "poor
whites," he would kwow that the
gravest duiccts of their character
are intimately connected with a
love of liberty often unreasoning
and sometimes fierce. They belong
to a race wfech now, as when Kobin
Hood took to Sherwood Forest
with their ancestors agaiasc the
Normaa sheriffs, prefers liberty to
every thiiig ehe, aod sacrifices for
it rnouey, cuRuie, comforts, every
thing which in toe views of thoae
who despise them makes life desi
rable. They havr bc-ea the pio
neeis of America'? civilization.
Their love ot liberty - pushed' them
beyoud thi mouacaiu into the ua
knowa West, bat even before they
had" followed Dmio! Txione iato
The Bark and B'o:!, 'Gfound,"
they had stvuck !i rd ikows lor
freedom, Icis a most singular ig
norance ef history which impeaches
their nn-mal coara'ge when the
gla.ing fault toeir character is in
readiness to gtip l.heir weapons
id Ldec!de every questiuu raised
against them mnu to man and
steel to steel. Ihey are "weapon
ed men" now as they were when
they iollowed Heogist and Horsa.
They do not belong to th -class
which went oat from Boston to pe
tition Washington to alloy the be
leaguered Bri Uh to escape for
fear of (iistuibing tiade .and
damagitig the shops by -a fight.
They are ach men as snrfoanded
Bacon, Hansfoid, viuee and Drum
moud in the uprising against Berke
Iv under Chat lea II. Oar college
professor knows so little of Ameris
can history that be thinks they do
not love liberty yet :
Such love fried all the heart ot Drummond
when hi 1 rand
Of his own hom made Liberty a beacon light.
Of this class and of this blood
was Patrick Henry, foremost iu tbe
breach for freedom, and of this
blood, too, was Henry ' Clay, born
almost in sight of birth-place of
Patrick Henry. When the hopes
of liberty were at their lowest ebb,
when such a march through the
confederated colonies was being
made by tbe Eng'i3h as Sberman af
terwards made to the sea through
the Confederated States, these
!poor whites" crossed the moan
taios, and, under Shelby and Se
vier, struck, at King's Mountaiu,
the blow which turned tLe tide of
the devolution back on Yorktown.
And at about the same time, one
of these poor whites, a ragged, uns
kempt lad of seventeen, ordered by
a British officer x co the work of a
menial, refused with tbe fierceness
of his Saxon ancestry and without
wincing took the coward blow with
which tyranny bs always, and al
ways ine3'ectua!!y, answered the
'poor whites' of this blood. Later,
at New Ot leans, this same 'poor
white' witb some poor whites like
him, held the breach for liberty
and later still, as President of Uni
ted States, showed the iron deter
mination and unconquerable and
uncompromising love of liberty,
which from 1860 to 1865 set Amer
ica on fire with . "thj9 blaze that
sprang fiom the soul of Abraham
Lincoln, another of the very poor
est of the poor white traih of the
South, whom this Puritan professor
despise?.
Aud in that bloody content these
pcor whites on both sides, whether
front ILinols and India una or Ala
bama r.Gu Goorii, from east Tcno
nessee, w;ere they rebelled against
the SDnte, or we5 Tennessee,

They were the first to cross the
Alleghanies, carrying their lives ia
their hand3. The bones of their
great caravans whitened tbe great
American desert, and they were
the first to cross the Rocky Moon
tains and see the Pacific ocean
spreading before them a's the course
of empire building. They carried
American civilization from' James
town to' the Golden Gate in jast
such fashion as our Puritan friend
may see them, the can vass-topped
wagon, the wdrcen and flixen hair
ed children inside, the hounds foK
lowing under it, the weaponed
man of tbe family riding ia front
with his rifle across his pommel.

instructive and broadening study

that it was one of. these .upoer
whites' who in the. angf of the

fell a rampart lor the liberty of
Texaj made of the bodies cf Santa
Anna's peons. And it w.,s this
