excitement holds the twoconfeds
spell-bound for a few hours. On
this particular occasion, they
were in just the right mood to
make a play on their vivid imagi
nation or unrole past experiences
of actual occurance, The Major
became so earnest and excited in
his discourse of certain battles
that the Col. could not hold in
and both were making such elo
quent appeals and such harmoni
ous utterances that a crowd soon
! gathered all unconscious to the
two devotees. The Col. had jusl
reached the highest and grandesl
flight of his oration when with a
most forceful gesture, he knock
ed an earthan-jar off the countei
and great was the fall thereof.
Low and behold the floor was be
; decked with the fragments of the
wreck. This brought him bad
from the realms of the past anc
he immediatly took in the situa
tion. The Major was still sawing
wood, but this the Col. soon stopp
ed. We are indeed sorry thi;
grand review of the past came t<
so sudden a stand still and woulc
have been glad to have heard th<
finale of the whole theme.
We venture the assertion tha
the entire multitude assembled
will treasure up these treatieses
as bright gems of the past.

CAUGHT UP WITH.
A most peculiar incident hap
pened to our friend A. J. Marsh
on his return from Augusta last
Saturday. There were only two
iu the wagon Mr. Marsh and an
other young man. They hadn’t
proceeded far on their home
ward journey until they decided
to go by Fakes instead of River
side thus shortening the route
two or three miles.
As they arrived in the neigh
borhood of Fakes, they were ar
guing which way would be most
advisable to cross Cache river
bottom. One knew more about
it than the other and both knew
precious little about the myste
rious road as their adventure
will unfold.
Everyone knows the lake be
tween Cache river and Fakes.
Well, through this watery sink
hole our two young friends at
tempted to drive. Mr. Marsh
had no doubt been reading some
detective story judging from the
amount of bravery and daring he
manifested on this occasion.
The fact is, as we found out
later, that he had in his posses
sion a ten-cent book of fish sto

ries and this somewhat accounts
for his venturing into the secret
recesses of their watery home.
They drove into the lake which
was swimming deep to the hors
es from the word go, but Mr.
Marsh was so loaded down with
fish stories that the wagon would
not fioat at all. By some mishap
or other, the horses became un
hitched and as Mr. Marsh had
become so enchanted with his
ferry-boat drawn by two horses,
he was oblivious of all that hap
pened, but held right on to the
lines with the horses going right
on. This naturally pulled him
over the front-gate of the wagon
bed into the lake. Oh! my! Such
a splash.
Mr. Marsh always was a great
swimmer and this litle lake did
not daunt him at this time, had
it not been for fear of loosing his

ten-cent-fish-story-book. This
occupied his mind so completely
that he swam against logs and
snags several times before he
landed. As he came out of the
water he proudly raised his book
and said “Thank God I saved
that. ”
The companion of Mr. Marsh’s
troubles was still in the wagon
bed, which had floated away as
soon as it had been relieved of
Mr. Marsh and his story-book.
This was a spectacle never to be
forgotten. To sep the wagon
bed with this young man floating
with the breeze and every now
and then striking against a snag
projecting from the water.
The section boss says this
whole occuranee was one of the
most laughable experiences of
his life and as everyone knows
that is saying a great deal. The
horses were soon found standing
on the bank, seemingly enjoying
the whole affair also. With the
aid of the section crew, the wag
on was soon gotten out of the
lake. Next, was to rescue the
young man. I see the section
boss now, standing on the
bridge shouting with laughter.
They finally decided to draw
straws as to who should go to
the rescue of the floater. The
lot fell to Mr. Marsh, so he
quickly hid his little book for
fear some one might deprive him
of its ownership and future use
and went to work. This time
with easy mind, not burdened
| with the welfare of the book, he
! soon towed the bed to shore thus
| saving his friend from a water j
j grave as he could not have with
j stood the billows of the lake
J much longer. The wagon was
gotten ready for a homeward
journey which our young friends
I soon made.
The section crew will never
forget this incident and had it
not been for them the readers of
the News would not have had
I the chance of hearing of this ad
venture as Mr. Marsh and his
friend had decided to keep it
still.
