Most persons are familiar with those
troublesome bits of skin which loosen at the
root of the finger-nails; it is caused by their
adhering to the nail, which, growing out
ward, drags the skin along with it, stretch.
ing it until one end gives way. To prevent
tins, the skin should be loosened from the
nails once a week, not with a knife or scis-
sors, but with something blunt, such as the
end of an ivory paper cutter. This is best
done after soaking the fingers in warm
water, then pushing the skin back gently
and slowly.

MR.. EDITOR: Allow me space in your

In company with III. G. Scudday, ESQ.
I left Anderson on the LIST inst. with the
intention Of arriving at our. destination
early in the eve. Soon we were on the
banks of Teylor's Creek, Is miles west Of

rains the stream was very much swollen.
We were advised by boy not 10 attempt

as mover liked to make O cross mark in.
the road and spit in It, I told him IL he
would unhitch the horse from the buggy
:! would mount and try the creek. Tie
morse was soon out OF harness, and the
rider in position. The creek was not as
deep as 1t appeared, and by careful driv-
Ing We were able to cross. So much for
having an equestrian along. Ut
AS we pursued our course we were i'm!
pressed with the beautiful fields Of grain,
corn and cotton, which appear ed to us as
doing finely. But there had been too
much rain, and the grass was making
headway.
We crossed Savannah River about 6 d.
M, and an hours drive brought us to the
beautiful town of Hartwell. We were
placed into the hands Of CaptJ. F. Graft,
who was to be guardian during our stay.
The object OF our visit was to attend tie

lswended our wsy to the Court House,
where tho exercises wero to be held. The
courtroom was packed, jammed and
crannmed. My companion secured n
chair, and after somo time got reserved
scat on the mantelpiece, In the back Of the
room. The exercises consisted OF cha.
rades, extracts, songs and calisthenica.

certainly deserved the cheers she received.
The calisthenics closed the exercises for

girls appeared on the stage In uniforms

was taught BY Mrs; Crawloy, and though
they had only been instructed about three
