Dr. Fant is well known to most of our readers as a whole-souled man. He was a member of the "McKissick Rangers." Than he a better soldier never drew a sabre- IIo was partially deprived of his hearing by the concusvion of ab:iub she'd at Fort Harrison, Vn., October 31, 18G4, an account of which has already gone into history. In that battic, Gary's brigade was charge i by the federal troops, seven columns deep, nnd iitfront o f its l'mc they buried 2,200 of the:r men. We spent Monday night with Col. I. G. McKissick, who wo were sorry to find so fcctilcand indisp >sed. His excellent wife and interesting family mode us feel at home with lb cuk Mai or E.

Wc nre tot of that hide-boutid cla?s of country peop'c who think it is right to make war upon town people, simply because they nre town people- The citizens of Union? ns well as other towns,?always treat me with as much courtesy and respect ns I receive in the country.

We would be glud for some littlo boy or girl to tell us the name ofthe oldest city in the world, nnd where it is first mentioned in the Bible. Give us your name and age, ploase. Our friend "Ke'ton Wheel" put out a puzzle for the young folks last weok. Will he give a tcirntific rule by which :t is worked ? Here is our solution of it: Each of I he boys, Jim, Jack and Tom were given 10, 30 nnd 60 bushels of corn, respectively, by their father, nnd each made fliree different soles at three different times and prices as follows. lai sale was 8 bush, at 2 00. 81G 00 ? 2d " 1 ? <? 76. 16. ** 3d " "1 " ?? 25. 25 " Sold hie 10 bushels for $17 00 Jack's 1st rale was 2 bushels ftt 2 00 $4 00 .. 2d " " 12 ' ? 75 0 00 ? 3d " " 10 " " 25 4 00 " So'.d his 80 bushels for $17 00 1 Tom's 1st sale was 1 bushel at 2 00 $ 2 00 2d ' " U " ? 75 $4 12} " 3d " " 43} " " 25 $10 87} " 8o\l his 60 bushels for $17 00. Ilenco, we see that each boy sojd nt the same time and at the same price,' and each rcn'izcd the inme amount for his corn. Vox.

In this way he can meet nil of them, nnd perhops others that may arrnnge their meetings to suit.
