To the Editor of the Herald and Mail:
In our last communication we ask ed
you to come down, Mr.. Editor, hoping
you would come; now we k1lOaO you will
come when we tell you that Mr.. Frank
Moore caught four pound trout only
four miles from here. Messrs. Moore and
Hickman caught together fourteen, and
were gone few hours. We have lots
of fun, though there is gloom cast
over it by the sickness of two of our
incest young ladies, Misses Mollie and
Lille Prewitt. 1t is thought to be ty>
phOid fever. We had a little dance last
night, anda regular break down to- night.
The music last night was an accordion
played by a Columbian, and tonight
we had banjo solo, played by blind
man who is making his living in that
way. Tomorrow night we are to haye
| d grand sleight of hand "hOctS pOcuS,"
| by Protessor-never heard what-for
the benefit OF said blind man. Our
hearts were made glad few days ago
|
| family. A day or two afterwards Mr..
| John EdmOndsOn arrived, in company
| with our Ed Wilson from some where
| near there.
| Wewere very sorry to see Messrs. Abe
| LoOney, Hammond Webster and G.
Wash Gordon leave, and hope to see
| them return soon. We are also very
sorry to see Mr. Alternately and family,
| and Mr.. Stephens, of Culleoka leaving.
| Old Hickman has extended the hand OF
| friendship to the mighty Maury, and
| she has grasped it with sisterly affection.
| MauIy should send few more beadx
down to enliven the hours of the beau
| tilul ladies of Hick man, and to streDg>
| then this band of friendship. No new
| arrivals at the Maxwell, though the hos
pitality OF Mrs. Marsh johnson is I'M
surpassed, not TO speak OF the attraction
there is here in the persons of two pref
| ty young ladies, one of whom captiva-
ted Il certain Alex from your city. In
speaking of hospitality, we would say
that two of Maury's representatives, Mr.
Dale and Mr.. HeDdley, come i'll for q
large port II Q hospitality is only
surpassed by their kin lness. Miss E.
c, from Columbia, is quite unwell,
though hope she will recoverin few
eys. The fascinating Miss G. j., from
near CIlleOka, is visiting here. Her
presence makes sunshine, though the
sky be overcast by clouds. Don't |
NC have jolly time! Well yes, many.
CrOquet il recovering. We play every
q ~ and Ctc CictiS, for the laugh goes
round at their expense. Jim Dale IS in
daily dread of seeing a snake. We kill |
ed a rattleSnAke the other day aged five |
years and q hutton. We are writing to-
night under peculiar circumstances.
The rain pOurs, the wind blows, got
cOrns on our toes, our partner" makes
our nose run, large boy has struck up
an acquaintance with US, some musqui~
toes seem TO know US, our cabin leaks, |
we're hungry, and sleepy-so We'll quit.
DAM BEAVERITE.

We arrived safely after many humps
and thumpS over one OF the worst roads
ever travelled. We arrived in time for
the Ball OF the season; beauty, ugliDess
and wit graCed the occasion. Young
and old members of the church, chill
dren all were there. Bob Chaffin had
his fiddle tuned SO high and the floor
secured so clean that cloth CATERS and |
white slippers tripped the light tantas~ |
tic toe until the pleasant, affable Billie |
billiard announced that>a dark cloud |
was hanging just over the ball room, |
vet still the dance went on until the |
heavy thunder and vivid lightning |
caused them TO hasten to the cabins, |
and some remained on account of white |
=
ed thrOdgh the rain and i'll their lang~ |
uage brought the thick shoes. The gem |
tlemen all considered themselves safe |
with one exception, Mr.. Ewing Irvine, |
who ungallanly refused beautiful |
Columbia blonde his boots, saying, 81 |
tell you I am not going out OF here with |
my Thin boots on" when truly he sent |
Off or his thick boots; very ungallant for |
him. Mr.. Tin Chappell, Sims Latta and |
Miss Susie c., arrived in time to join in |
the dance, and add greatly to the en- |
iOyment OF the evening. Among the |
ladies the prettieSJ and most fascinating |
hail from Mt. Pleasant; three beWitCh> |
ing black eyed cousins that can enter |
tain, interest and charm all who come |
near them. After the rain the sun |
this morning is shining in all its glory, |
and smile lights the face of each and |
every one. Mr.. The. Lipscomb came to |
the Erwin camp with poles, and very |
early, seeking Mr.. Holman to so fish |
ing. Mr.. Joe Irvine is ahead of all the |
young men-he has that audacity that |
the young men lack. | would write |
more, but haven't time. RESPECT.

that any one can have touched the mag |
ie spring that disclOses a plain and ca
sy path out of the labyrInt hine ditfia |

sely practical age it is agreed |
that we may do without music and do |
without books. But civilized mon car
not do without cooks. Whoever should |
offer a solution of the difficulties OF

diate distinction and be considered u
benefactOr of the human race. We do
not pretend that there is any royal road
to it, but that there is one less circus
