MT. SoLoN, VA.

Mt. SoLoN, VA.
AS some of the fair sex seem slow to
improve the opportunity allowed them
this year, and the year will soon close,
and then four years before the same
privilege will be accorded them, and by
that time, some may not be considered
so young as aaoao, feel it my duty, as
well as pleasure, to recommend some of
the male sex-those whom | am sure
would make good husbands-and adj
wise the ladies to look to their interest,
and not neglect their chances of escap-
ing the loneliness of old maidenhood.
For the benefit of the ladies, they will
find prepared for them list of the
young gentlemen in Mount Scion and
vicinity, who are in the matrimonial
market, watching and waiting. Pres
ton Buck is healthy well-to-do farm
er. The lassie who will look after his
wardrobe knows which side of her
bread is buttered.
John w. Bolen is rather small, but
precious PAL cels are always put up in
small packages" He is a very hand
some and lively young man, keeps a
dry goods store. Now, girls, don't too
many propose, or he might be tempted
to fiirt little.
IL. .
Young bachelor, who can charm away
all your cares with his ''sweet strains
of music" would make a model hus-
band-has the cage already prepared
for the bird. Will not some sweet
nightingale plume her wings and fly in
that direction? All he requires is, that
she sings sweetly and can cook.
Ben. Carricoffe is on the sunny side
of twenty-five--h a sunny disposition,
fine tenor voice, performs on the VIC
lin, is capable of loving like a Romeo.
Some sweet juliet should secure such a
prize at once.
John Mohler is a nice young man.
He has cattle and land, and plenty of
hard cash. The young lady who makes
his heart and fortune her aim, will be
amply paid for her trouble.
DR.. Keezel is practical young man,
with many attractions You may have
to capture him on the wing, but he is
we'll worth pursuit.
Charles KeeZel is a brother of the
DR.. and an eligible young man, whom
we know to be capable of pleading his
own cause" but too gallant to deny
the fair sex their privilege of this year.
Will Swink is a dashing young man,
drives handsome horses when at hOme)
but, we doubt not, would be willing to
be led by some fair maiden. Girls, he
is worth the trouble-propose.
Young ladies, don't forget Will Nc
Quain. He is at home again and must
be included in this list. You can very
easily find out if he wishes to marry.
Charlie Perry is engaged in the mer-
chantile business, and with his ribbons
and laces, and personal graces, he is
quite catch.
Will Hanna is SO very modest, and
retiring that only those who know him
best, are aware of his good qualities;
therefore we insist that some sunny
tempered damsel propose to Will.
Charlie Anderson is a fine-look1ng
young man, and would make model
husband. We are not sure that he
has not already lost his heart; but,
young ladies, be sure that he is not left
to waste his sweetness ON the desert
air."
Ernest Hopewel is a darkeyed, hand
some gentleman with love of a
mustache.n He is always in the best
of spirits, devoted to music, performs

Young ladies, call on Hopewell and
ascertain the condition of his heart.

man, just home from Rollers high
school; wears brass buttons and gilt
braid, which is very becoming. Girls,
don't fail to pay special attention to
the young man.

monially inclined. Girls, you would
not have much trouble in persuading
him that to court and never to wed,'
is not the ''happiest life that ever was
led"
John Bever is a bachelor who has
been in existence for some time, and
has been casting admiring glances at
the fair sex for, 10! these many years.
Why he has never married is not
known; but better late than never.
Don't forget Johnnie.
John Arehart is a jolly fellow and
should not be forgotten. He has a cool
head and a warm heart and would
make devoted lover.
Harry Hopewell is ''heart whole and
fancy free" He is too young to have
often been wounded by "Cupid's"
darts, but would feel very much flat
tered if pretty girl should show him
some particular attention.
Walton McFall is young, but not too
young to cast shy glances at the pretty
girls. He is good and true.
James Reeves is gallant and gay, and
cIIOuld hOU NC dlIOWou W ~ On forever

Charles Rivercomb is young, but

would propose to him. So far Charles
