genial society very much during the long,
QUIET summer days, but will live in the
hopes that they will safely return in the

far from their friends aud far from their
home. During their absence Mr.. Jack
Rodgers will act as Postras and a
more genial, generous and kind-hearted
gentleman can nowhere be found, look
where you may. Mr.. Rodgers is genu-
inc Southern gentleman - G,",'eness.

qualities appear to emanate from his re-
NAL nature. as spontaneously as water
-ushes forth from fountain. Mr.. Rodg>

."odr business; he has cio,ed out his
stock. and will hereafter undoubtedly
adopt come profession - probably the
medical or theological, as by nature he

men would undoubtedly be duly appre-
ciaied.
