Lucille Barstow stopped speaking, and,
dropping her head in her hands, burst
into tears. She did not heed the length

which enveloped her like a veil. In her

the symmetry of her small hands and
feet To their beauty she attached no

plain face on which so many of her ac-

Several days went quickly by, Lucille

amusement in teaching them. had
now regular duties which she was obliged
to fulfill, and found life much more
bearable than at
One morning when she entered the
breakfast room she started back as if she
had seen on apparition, for there in an
easy chair, his handsome head on his
hand, his blue eyes bent on the carpet as
if in melancholy dreaming, sat Geoffrey

home, for, hearing a footstep, he looked

grave almost to melancholy, and when
letters came from Emily would go off to

and sit for hours smoking gloomily.

as thought that Mrs. could
indeed trust her to pay to Emily's
any little attention ho needed.
But Mrs. was wrong in think-
it not a dangerous thing to throw
these two young people so much together.
As Geoffrey felt tho touch of the cool,
soft hands on his head he learned to ad-
mire them. As ho listened to the low,
sweet voice, which appeared never to
weary when reading aloud to him, he
learned to love it. As he saw the
different efforts Lucille made each
day to interest him and render his con-
to one room less dull and irk-
some, he learned to worship her. He
forgot her plain face, and contrasted hex
character only with that of Emily.
For ho no longer loved the girl to
whom he had bound himself. He had
infatuated with her
beauty, caught in the coils of her shim-
mering golden hair and musical laugh,

room like a frightened deer.

day, then both were calm, and
avoided being left alone together.

J. J. opposed
making any increase in the levy. He
commended the Board of Count v
Commissioners under whose excel-
lent administration had been
added to the treasury under the low
tax of last year. He had confidence
in the Board and believed if they
thought the County Home ought to
be removed they would remove it.
W. II. Moore said he had to pass

Board had changed the management

crops are little better but nothing to

Mr. Fernando Ward said that with

crops wort very poor. They have
had too much rain and there was
heavy fall Sunday afternoon
which washed the crops badly.
Mr. S. I. Fleming gave about tho
same report for section.
Crops small with too much rain and
too much grass.
Mr. J. J. of
the prospects, if anything, were
even poorer than in 1889.
W. S. Wooten, Swift Creek,
said that while the crops were small
down there they had not suffered
very much. There was plenty of
grass to kill.
Mr. J. T. Worthington, near
ton, also said the crops had not
a great deal from rain, but the
weather for some days had been
rather cool for them. He thought
that with weather there
would be remarkable improvements.
Mr. It. L. Joyner, of Farmville,
said up that way tobacco was about
all that could be bragged on. That
crop is fine but cotton is mighty
small.
Mr. R. R. Cotton, of

the largest farmers in the county and
makes tho weather a close study, said
there had been by far much rain,

In March the rain fall was

interesting points in future. He
said that while tobacco was the best
crop now, that also would be late be-
cause of so much bad weather.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Whole Thrown Into

On Monday night of last week
about o'clock the village of Grimes
land was thrown the greatest
excitement it ever experienced. Mr.
W. G. Stokes, of this
place, while from his sup-
per, was shot by some one who was
concealed the near where
he come into the road. He was
by one glancing shot which
did not cause any serious wound.
Three shot passed through his shirt
and five through his vest. There
were traces of four shot on a small
oak on the opposite, side of the road.
After the gun fired be asked who
it was that had him and
villain ran off. Mr. Stokes had n
gun in his hand which be was carry-
to the store and tried to re-
turn the shot but was prevented by
the bushes. Thursday morning
there were slops taken to find out
who it was. The place was examined
and a track was found which was
made by a run-down shoe. Ed.
Teller, a colored boy, was suspicion-

Neatness is a good thing for a girl,
and it she docs not learn it when she

good deal more neatness to make a
girl look well than it does to make a
hoy look passable. Not because a
boy, to start with, is better looking
than a hut bis clothes arc of a
different sort, not so many colors in
them; and people don't expect a boy
to look as pretty a girl. A girl
that not neatly dressed is called a
sloven, and no one likes to look at
