From Six Mile. For some reason unknown to me every oue of my communications shares its fate in the waste basket, * but nevertheless I will venture the attempt to write again, hoping it will make its appearauce in print. Some of tbe correspondents seem to think that B. has me in an atra* bilious and mulanoholy state of < mind, but let me assure you that ' my thought has not been nieta- ' phorioal. I have been vory prompt in replying to nil of B's. epistles, but I suppose the Editor judged , some of my communications indigestible for B. So as I now bnve tlie time and opportunity, I will explain to the readers the reason B. don't wan't to marry. Of course yon know B. is a bachelor ot unknown age, but we can recollect when we were quite small, B. was very popular with the young lading as we have Baid before, and wont to see a certain girl, who would have flirted with h .church steeple, and B., unexperienced, gavo her his whole heart, and the poor fellow was as happy as Adam and Kve in the Garden of Eden, till the wedding appeared, then she said: "I was only flirting." Then B. was in a critical condition, and of course said to himself if he, ever had the opportunity of speaking to her again, he would throaten to commit suicide or make his home in some foreign country, but she left the county, and B. was left to mourn his trouble and bereavement, and now he lives a retired life and tries to instruct others. Bless your soul, the presence of a lady makes B. blush and | turn pale behind his ears and I tremble iu his knees, aud now you { cau easily see the reason B. don't want to experiment with matrimony again. We can only extend onr heartfelt sympathy, and hope he will recover and return to himself . The weather has been considerably cool the past vreok for the time of the year, but nevertheless the crops are growing right on. Some of the farmerfl have plowed their cotton over the past wick. 'JThey report that cotton is the best and fruited better, on the ridge, than it has been for years. Thej prospect is good for n largo crop. Cora is also good in this section. T. W. Durham is spending this week in Greenville, having his son, Oscar's eyes treated. We hope his eight will bo restored. Will Atkinson, who runs a store at the old Farmer stand, says ho will sell more Bitgar for a dollar than any other country merchant. N. R. Kennemore is now pi sparing to build him a fine residence near Pleasant Hill church. Mr. ICfinnemnro hhvm Iia liaa uu i?n..li right to a fine house as anybody. Mies Lindia Morgan and mother of Nowhope, visited relatives in this community recontly. I The Sundav school is in a (lour-j ishing condition at this place. I.et everybody como to Sunday school. T. W. Satterfield is confined to his bod with fever. Dr. Justice is his attending physician. We hope j 1 for him a speedy recovory. Health i? not very good Ht present. Candidates arc now making time count, and are keeping the roads hot, and we aro expecting to bco thorn all at this place the 6th, so j everybody come and bring woll i filled baskets, The speakers will' have somothing interesting and instructive to tell you along educational lines. There is a treat awaiting all who attend. A crowd of Poa Kidgors spent i last week in the mountains. We visited the White Water Falls and Sapphire, Toxaway and Hogback mountains, and all had a good time. The roacfs are good in the mountains. We met an antomo-; bile up about Whito Water that passed through this place from Greenville, and you may judge that the roads are fairly feood. So , go to the mountains if you want to; don't stand back on account of the roads. Cony. . OJLSTOniA. Bimtk yf Ih Kind Yo? Hiw Alrjjrs BmjM j f V pa \ -v .

There are few men in congreM who are natives of southern fates, but who have moved north and represent northern constituencies, say 8 the Washington Post. There is but one man who is a native of a northern state who have been elected from the south, and in this case he comoH from a border state. Very many men born in eastern states are now representing western states. This is very natural, as the tide of immigration has been from east to west, and the west has been peopled by the east. It is a rare thing, however, to find a man in congress from the east who was born in the west. But there are some. Fowler, of New Jersey, and Greene, of Mas- . ni'hunpita nrp nntivi>H r?f IllinniR. PerkinB, of New York, was horn in Wisconsin. Hearst, of New York, is a native of California. The men who were born in the sonth and now represent northern constituents are Senator Ilawlev, of Connecticut, who was born in North Carolina; Senator Cnllom, of Illinois, a native of Kentucky, a border state, however; Senator Newlnnds, of Nevada, a native of Missinsippi; Speaker Cannon, of Illinois, and Representative Dixon, of Montrtna, and Shober, of New York, were born in North Carolina; Representative Marshall of North Dakota, is a native Of Missouri. West Virginia in not always counted a southern state, and the fnot that her two senators are Ohio horn scarcely makes the exception to the rule that few northern men are sent ito congress from the south. THE RIGHT WAY TO WALK. Preservation of a Good Figure Dtpeoda to Some Extent on This ?A Hew Theorjr. A friend who leads a very active me huh a meory mat the preservation of a good figure ikIh to some extent on the manner of walking, Hays the Philadelphia , Inquirer. Many people, she says, as they advance in years allow themse 1 ves to walk heavily and without elasticity, so that the whole weight rests on the lower part of the limbs'at every step, the only effect of exercise boinjr weariness of the Icjjb and feet. Instead of this his body should he held erect and poised so ns to have a perfect balance; in this way the muscles are braced and strengthened throughout, the Iuii^b must of necessity be well expanded, and it seems quite reasonable to supnose that the tendenrv t*? iiwromn of weight may be checked. At all events a lighter atop and a brisker and more enjoyable manner of walking can be kept up, and that in itself is a very great gain. Quit* Romantic. A romantic incident connected with the recent marriage of two |K>pnlar young (icoplc of Ilridgton, Me., hat) just come to light. It seems that in the very beginning of their courtship Home six or even yearn ago, during one of the young man's visits to the home of the young Indy who Anally became his wife, he chanced to take from his pocket a $10 gold piece which the young lady ^ot into her possession. He made a brief at tempt to regain it, but gave it up and in a joking way said: "Keep it to pay the minister with." Tiie years went by and the golden eagle was entirely forgotten by the young man. On the day when the marriage ceremony was to . take place, which was the oiH'nin^ I of the present season, the bride-tobe produced the identical gold piece and the minister received it for his fee.?Kennebec Jnnpiul j The >UU Vnlley. The secret of the inexhaustible 'ertility of the Nile valley, which has Ion# been credited tp the annual deporit of Hilt from the over- ' llowiiiK of the river, has been din- 1 covered by Mr. Fairehild, agricultural explorer of the United States government, to be the nitrifying powers of the plant berueem. Jlerseem iw a species of trifolium, which has the power not only to consume valine and alkaline properties in the land, but also to enrich it with nitrates. Something of a composite of alfalfa and clover, it in in -every way more delicate in flavor aad lyqflc succulent than either. ? \ f' .
