Anottrcr iDteresting Letter From Rev.
E. t Erfio.
Montkeat, N C, August 14:^Mon
treat, hs a town, is sui generic:
There is not another like it, a town
of far distances, and for the most
part in the woods. As yon pass
along toe road?or roads, not streets,
which generally run parallel with
the valley?yon now and then catch
a glimpse of a cottage, or the white
canvas of a tent through the dense
foliage above or below you. Looking
up to these cottages, w hen more
fully in sight of the road, they present
an unnatural appearance. One
of tbe younger set asked me "why
they build the houses here with the
floors standing up toward the front,
instead of on the level?" Tdfj^alk
down the front steps of these cottages
is not much fun. Half way
down, the steps to my cottage gtt
tired and take a turn to the side.
The almost ? virgin forest is luxuriantly
green and dense?no open
woods?made up of various species
of oak, with chestnnt,poplar, maple,
black locust, eonr wood, white pine,
rhododendron, chinquepin , and
smaller sbrnbbery. Tbe sun hardly
aee? the earth anywhere. There is
almost perpetnal silence in these ,
woods save for the locusts bv Uav
and the katydid by night, and tbe
soughing of tbe wind laden with tbe
babblings of Flat Creek and its
numerous crooning tributaries.
Springs abound, and all the water
is pare and cold. We see no wild 1
animals except the little brown
ground-squirrel and only an occasional
little bird. It is too cold here
for the mocking bird The rattlesnake
ii more in evidence. On a monn- <
t^ifi top I came upon a typical '
mountaineer with his Winchester 1
fife, gazing out over the lowlands,
and probably listening for the sound
of his cattle-bells. To a question <
about rattle-snakes, be said "you can 1
find them must anywhere, especially
in the roughs,'? 4nd by the
jYqrjghg" be explained that be meant
ybOgu places, ''like that youder"?
pointing to a place where great rocks 1
were strewn in profusion, inter- 1
Bpersed with tangled underbrush ;
through wbich you could not seethe 1
ground. And he added, "they are :
1. . xL i. 1
/tfie most peaceaoie snase mat mere
is; for they ain't.going to hurt you
without giving yon fair notice. 1
But if one gets into his coil, and be- 1
gins to sing, you better move." 1
The other day I saw the skin of one i
just killed near the hotel, which a i
servant was Hashing, having sold it !
^ to a lady ''to make a belt." It i
struck me that it would be, in a J
sense, a beautiful ornament; but to <
wear it, an unnatural fancy. With- i
in thirty steps of the cottage where
I spent my first week here, and during
that time a rattle-snake was i
killed. The family of Mr McGill,
(treasurer of the Presbyteiian Publication
Committee at Richmond, Va,)
are tenting there. The body of a
falleu tree lies within a few feet of
the tent. Under the shadow of this
log the rattler was in coil. Mr McGill's
little girl standing near, heard
the ominous sound of the rattle, but
paid no heed, the woods are always
resonaDt of & similar sound, the
rasping orchestra of the locusts.
But she happened to notice the activity
of her pet dog nosing the rattler
and saw the meaning of it all.
With a scream, and a leap, she took
her pet into her arms and away;and
the men hurried there and killed the
monster.
On last Monday night we had an
enjoyable social at the hotel, a feainr#>
of it bfine' a musical nro^ramme
w ~ O f "O
with readings or impersonations by
experts in those lines. The social
atmosphere of the place is all that
could be desired.
The conferences at the Tabernacle
continue forenoons and evenings;
with lectures on religious topics by
emminentmen. There are quite a
number of missionaries here from
China, Japan, Corea, Cuba, etc , and
their consecrated zeal puts them
_ much to the front. Naturally there
" are people here much drawn to the
mountain peaks, the bowling alley,
quoit pitching, etc., aud I think
from signs I 6ee that the missionaries
are thinking thoughts and plan

it; and, comiug back to the

Please Take Notice.
We are sending out a number of
statements to onr subscribers wbc
m K f
are in arrears. We don't want to
offend anyone, and we hope that nobody
will be foolish enough to take
umbrage at our asking for what is
due us. At the same time we would
ra'her a man would get mad and pay
up tban to stay pleased and pay
nothing. '
In the near future we have several
notes to ineet on paper and material
and it is urgently necessary to
collect what our subscribers owe us
Our actual running expenses are'$50
a week and it is a plain proposition
that we cannot continue to issue the
paper unless this money is forth
coming. Printers have to be paid
Saturday Dight, and paper men
won't wait till fall for tbeir money.
Now, we have a number of tbe6e
little accounts scattered among
hundreds of people, but it means a
substantial sum to us.
With the price of paper advancing
every week we simply can't afford to
send the paper any longer to those
who won't pay; so if you are really
unable to pay and owe us for over a
year, kindly notify oe, so that we
can strike your name off onr list, as
we don't care to seod good money
after bad.
A great many have already settled
tbeir accounts and paid a year ahead.
To them this notice has no reference
Come, friends, don't delay
longer; but bring or 6eud us the

we have honestly earned.
