tomary for the wife to carry tho cards
and leavo them at the proper time
when paying visits together.

I heard recently of a very jolly

to tell her most Interesting experience*.
In travel; each ono was also aBked to
wear or bring an especially prized

Animal Blind Man's Buff.
I find many versions of old-time
games; for Instance, this way of play
ing our old favorite "Blind Man's
Buff:" Seat the children in a circle,
or they may stand. The leader is
chosen by the time-honored custom
known as "counting out," blind-folded
and placed in the middle. He is giv
en a cane; he then walks around the
:lrcle, Btops and points tho cane, tho
ono it touches or comes closest to
must repeat in a disguised tone tho
noise made by either a cat, dog, cow
or horse. He may repeat the sound
three times. If the blind man cannot
guess, he must try some one else; if
he names tho right child, that ono
takes the placo of the leader.

WILD BULL CHASE.
*
Messrs Ambrose Hudgons, Joe Smith
und Tom Henderson nre tlio Cham
pion long distance bull chasers of
this corner of the woods. The tale
(not tall) connected with their eleva
tion to this rank is a long one, but the
chase they put up last Sunday after
noon is still longer. The long nnd
short of the whole thing though, seems
to be that thc^e wily steer trailers,
after the successful escape of Wie
above mentioned bull, went in search
of him Sunday afternoon. The bull
belonged to Tom Henderson, but in
some way the two had parted company
The three bull chasers started out to
find him. Tracks lead toward Atlanta
and they followed the tracks. From
along about three o'clock in the af
ternoon until about nine o'clock at
l ight they went after him. Over
i Itches, through the swamps, across
creeks and through barb wire fences
the bull had gone and they had to
follow. Roads were not considered by
the bull In his Might nor by his fol
lowers.
Having reached McUaniel's mill, out
Reedy river, and still not coming iaW
hearing distance of the escaped bull.)'
the three turned wearily homeward,
trusting to fall hack on a laBt resort
on the want ad column of The Adver
tiser. Monday morning, soon after
the ad was given In at the office' and *N
before it had begun to surreptitiously I
dissiminntc through tho mental?dn >
fact before it had been set up In type,
tho results became evident and Mr.
Henderson was Informed that the bull
was resting quietly at Tom Miller's?
place, only a few hundred yards froajl^
where they had given up the chase t^ffiCj
night before. This story Is not in
tended as an advertisement of the_,
want ad column of this paper, but
Is a true story, which will he vouched
for by all parties concerned. All in
favor of this motion, say "aye".
