Arthur came home to aee his brother William, who has been sick for some time. Col. Hiop has been a great walker in bts day. sad baa spent the bigger part of his life at the business, but one day he took a ride with Col. Abernethy behind one of his blooded horses, and from that trip Col. Hipp con cluded that it was nselcss to walk longer, and got him a good horse, boggy and harness. Now yon can see him driving up and down the road in style, and looks as well as if be bad been riding all hia life.
