' - Maxims for a Bride, Once there was an old minister who was noted for his kindly interest in young peo ple, and especial interests in brides and grooms. He had printed cards containing maxims for the bride and for the- groom, and if they had been lived up toralways, doubtless some rough places ' would have been smoothed over. ' The following max ims intended for the brides of long ag& may be applicable to a woman of today, for hu man nature is always very human, especi ally" the mole portion of it.

Alfalfa in Tennessee. - A Tennessee correspondent tells of a neighbor who has some of the poorest run down land in the neighborhood, who sow ed a. piece of land in alfalfa.

The next season he sowed the land in alfal fa and new has a stand four years old. The probability seems to be thit the patches left in the first sowing did get the land Infected with. tb$ -microbes that live on the alfalfa roots, and hence the success of the second sowing.

A well known Ashe ville lawyer is authority for the state ment that a summons is even now on the way to the hands of one, A. W. Sitton, on whose Jand the "petrified one" is said to havbeen found. And now the question arises, "Is he a fraud and not afreak, "and is his finder a fakir?" , j . These are questions which a law suit m v bfi invoked to settle. The present owners of the ''mai,'! it is said, are considering suing.tiie roan who sold it to them'to recover t-be purchase money paid $3,00because they have been told that they were buncoed into buy ing, not a man petrified by nature, but a moulded barrel ofjeement. " ; Those of. th'e stockholders seen yes-J terday, refused to discuss the matter but it is a fact that an , 'attorney bas been investigating tho alithenticity of the man with a view to Suing the original vendor. It is overwhelming to contemplate the derision which will be: heaped on Asheville if such a suit is orougnt. Other cities jealous of the petrified man, have all along insisted that the man was a fake, but Asheville stood by him and said his deputation was un- 4 sullied. . And now to admit but noth ing will be admitted until something is proven. i! : The history of thei petrified man is brief that is since he was known. : He may be Adam .as far as the public Knows, it. was last March that he was dug up on Ir. A. Wi Sitton's land near Mills River. He wore no clothes but lay in the mud. Great inttrest was excited and he ; was ville by Mr. Sitton.; brought to Ashe- Asheville; people became i n te rested among them Messrs. Noland. Reisecker. Mackev and others. They sought to buy him but there was competition and Mri Sitton finally got about $3,500 from the Asheville men. They formed a company and offered a prize ior a suitaoie name, i ne name chosen was the Pristine Petrified Phe- nomenon company. The stock boomed away above par. The pristine went on the road with great! success. Sundry persons, jealous persons of course, de dared the man was a jfake and that he was-the same old bundle of mortar that had been "found" is other places be forel -Nobody, that i nobody that was anybody, paid any attention to these reports and the petrified man took in sheckels (or quarters in Enirlishl readily. Rut every man, including petrified, has his day. The Pristine was taken to the great" New Orlean$ Confederate re union. The stockholders' hopes "were high of much money and the petrified journeyed in state to New Orleans. But, alas, when the manager went forth in the morning to choose a sight for tho-phenomenon he jwas shocked be oh"d expression, petrified men were a tion.. It looked like Thirteen - other ready on exhlbi all the petrified men were having a reunion also. Of course they were fakes but then people did not; know the difference between the genuine and the imitation. The netrified never recovered from this shock. He did npt say anything, but his reputation was hurt. He did not ao mucn gooa atterwards. it is true he exhibited with some succession the Afurphy branch where, it might te saia, ne was Known nis native state as it were. j And now pis -owners! go back on mm what will the result be?
