single thought, two coons whose
hearts beat as one ; two field hands
who right now ought to be hoeing in

The tall mulatto handed the Judge
a paper which proved to be a license
authorizing the matrimonial license of
George.. Washington Doolittle and
Sophronia Elizabeth Jones. The
Judge scanned the paper, looked
quizzically at the girl and carefully
viewed the man. Then he said :
"George, - what means have you to
to carry out the covenant oi the mar
riage yows to protect, care lor and
support this dusky maiden ?" .
G. W. D. smiled and made answer
to this effect : "Of life to live, there
is none so desolate- as to live' alone.
All that we here in life possess, we
must enjoy, and nothing else. My
hands alone my work can do, why,
Judge, not do the same for two ?"
iow, opnronia, are you satisnea
to tread life's rugged pathway with
G. Wash., bare-footed as you both
are ? .. This is a lifelong contract and
many obstacles will have to be met
and overcome '
Sophtonia grinned and laughed
out right. Then looking at G. Wash
she turned to the Judge and said :
two coons, each with ja willing,
loving heart, to be compelled to live
apart ? And while I'm standing at
his side, you: judge, shall be the first
to kiss the bride."
"Good," said Judge Roberts, "the
court is satisfied beyond a reasonable
doubt that you two should marry.
Stand up and listen to your doom :
'G. Wash will you Sophronia take,
Forever your lawful wife to make ;
that a person should take time to do
well, and to use his best judgement in
d Ding, it is making his will A clear
brain and unprejudiced frame of
mind are necessary for so important
a work. These conditions can only
be found when the body is in the
best of health. The importance of
not postponing -this matter until the
last moment is very apparent.
Many put this matter off on ac
count of the expense attached to it in
lawyer's lees, etc. Anyone who can
write a legible hand and express his
ideas so that thiy can be understood
can write his own will. The simpler
the form the better, so it is clear.
The following lorm will make as
strong a testament as can be framed
by any attorney : ,

Then came the time to elect the

and the two commissioners appointed
by Judge Graham met and elected a
non-partisan board of education.
But the three Populists on the board
refused to "recognize" the meeting
and they proceeded ' to elect a solid'
Populist board. This gave the coun

blocked the wheels of education in
