Wishes to Bettor Acquaint "Cousin legislature" with Oconoo's Men. Westminster, April 9.-My Dear Cousin Legislature: It is a pleasure to me to re?oive the good letters you write me, and the advice you give me is so good, and it is so thought ful of you. and I know by the way you write mo that you must like me moro and more. How I do appreci ate your love for me, and you may rest assured that your affection for mo will ever be remembered by me. Tho reason I have not answered your letter before this ls because I knew that you must be worried and work ed almost to death cleaning up your house and arranging your furniture after entertaining so many guests that attended your house party this past winter. Why don't yon stop giv ing these annual house parties? You must certainly begin to realize that there is no good ever comes from the practice. Besides, even if I had no other reason for wanting you to stop the practice, you know as well ns 1 that you tire not tis young as you used to bo. as well as myself, lt is hard on you and how very, very expensive it is! So won't you prom ise mc that you will stop it? ; love you too much to see you gi\" your Hmo and strength for so unprofita ble a froiic as it always turns ,;'.?t to be; ami besides ali tho other 'lings I and expenses, your health mt be considered. You know 1 was .Ik ing just the other day with our doc tor, and he lolls mo thal your houri is in a dangerous condition, ami hat any very sudden excitement might cause you to have heart failure. I'm liol lolling you this to scare you into stopping these frolics, bul 1 am '. li ing you for your good, as you know wc always tell each other whatever we think might help tte along in any way. You asked me in your last letter about the three guests that attended your party from this county ( Oco nee t. They are till right men in their way. but Oh. yon said. I remember, that you didn't meet or see much of them. One of them was named W. Preston Mason, one was named E. Preston I Bruce, and the other was named W. Longfellow Dalton. (1 think Long fellow is what the "L" stands for in Mr. Dalton's name, but don't know for certain. Mr Mason watt called, white down there, The Senator from Om nee," 'and Messrs, Dalton und Bruce wer? j culled "llepresentatlvea from Ucu j nee. The above nantes, or rank, as I you may choose to call it. is what i society in Oconee would have us call them, and it is all right, as it en ? ables one lo distinguish one from i the other. Sorry you didn't gel to . ?neel and talk with them. Mr. Dal ton lives at Seneca, and ho got lip and .-poke out in the meeting and asked all the other guests at your j party to help him make the Southern Railway Company build an under? pass under the railro.nl in the town of Seneca, and to my personal knowl edge the railroad has been built and trains ita ve been passing through the town of Seneca for a period of at least two years. I know whereof 1 speak, for 1 have ridden through Seneca Oll thc trains, and to taste a pudding is the proof of it. Mr. Dal ton stood up for his town. Hurrah for Dalton! His address will be Hon. W. L. Dalton. Seneca, S. C.. City Delivery. F.. Preston Bruce was also chosen i to be one of your guests from this i county, but if he ever got there I ^ have never seen any account of it . His address is (I think) Hon. IO. P j Bruce. Westminster. S. C.. H. I\ I) } If Mr. Bruce got there he evidently - did not think that his town needed anything, so he just remained silent And so no harm did he do. Httrrali for Mr. Bruce!

The record shows, my cousin, that % Mr. Mason was doing no serious harm either, moro than keeping tho t people back home posted as to thc good health of the trio. The time for your party to adjourn was drawing too near for the gen , eral comfort of the ring, so those composing the ring began to sniff thc . wind and consulted Hie sympa th iz 3 ers of tho ring, and all decided to - hold a stockholders' and director5.-' r meeting of tho ring and try to fall - upon some plan to get Mr. Mason to r take nott? as to bow short a time lie ; had left to do anything for tho ling j stors.
