A Letter from Murray.
Sumach, Ga., Sept. 12,1879.
Editor Courier—Thinking that a
few dots from old Sumach would be of
interest to your readers, it is with pleas
ure that we attempt to write you.
The weather has been exceedingly
pleasant for the past ten days, Big
meetings, pic-nios, etc., are all about
over, and the fine linen vest and stand-
up collar are again searching the bot
tom of the trunk. The peaceful sleeper
uo longer has the midnight mosquito
and bed chintz to contend with, and the
voice of the fodder-puller and cotton-
picker iB heard at early dawn. Farmers
ate busy at the above occupation. Grass
and clover being very short in this
county every blade of fodder will find
a happy home in the barn.
The Sunday-school celebration comes
off at this place (Mt. Cumberland) Sep
tember 19th. A grand time is antici
pated, The young men of this institu
tion who intend to escort the young la
dies on that day hope so.
Thinking right here that a descrip
tion of Sumach Seminary would not be
out of place, we beg leave to give your
readers a short description of this place.
It is situated in Murray county, on a
high hill fifteen miles east of Dalton,
twelve miles from Red Clay, and-four
miles west of Cohuttah Springs. It
commands a magnificent view of Co-
huttah Mountain on the east, and on
the north and west a view of Sumach Val
ley, extending to a distance of about
ten miles. This institution is accessa-
hle to good roads and water. The in
stitution ia under the supervision of
Profs. E. J. Choyno and S. E. Berry,
who have given entire satisfaction to all
who have patronized it. The school is
cow in a prosperous condition; num
bering about 175 students. They have
two Societies, Eurodelphiau, under Prof,
t-heyno, and Alpbabetea, under Prof,
erry. Nearly every student takeB an
active part in one or the other of these
Societies. We invite all young men
* 0 ate Peking for an education to at-
l Sumach Seminary. The tuition,
a 'd, etc., is so very low that it
*‘thm the reach of all.

When they reached the depot, Mr.
Mann and his wife gazed in unspeaka
ble disappointment at the receding
train which was just pulling away from
the bridge switch at the rate of a thou
sand miles a minute. The first impulse
was to run after it, but as the train was
out of sight and whistling for Sagetown
before they could act upon the impulse,
they remained in the oarriage and dis
consolately turned their horses’ head
homeward.
“It all comes from having to wait for
a woman to get ready,” Mr. Mann
broke the silence very grimly.
“I was ready before you,” replied his
wife.
“Great heavens 1” cried Mr. Mann,
with keen impatience, jerking the
horses’ jaws out of place; “just listen to
that. I sat in the buggy ten minutes
yelling at you to come along, until the
whole neighborhood heard me.’’
“Yes,” acquiesced Mrs, Mann, with
the provoking placidity which none
can assume but a woman, “and every
time I started down stars, you sent me
back for something you had forgotten.”
Mr. Mann groaned. “This is too
much to bear,” he said, “when every
body knows that if I was going to Eu
rope I would rush into the house, put
on a clean shirt, grab up my gripsack
and fly, while you would want at least
six months for preliminary preparation,
and them dwadle around the whole
day of starting until every train had left
town.’’
Well, the upshot of the matter was
that the Manns put off their visit to
Aurora until the next week, aud it was
agreed that each one should get himself
or herself ready and go down to the
train and go; and the one who failed
should bo left. The day of the match
came around in due time, the train was
going at 10:30, and Mann after attend
ing to his business went home at nine
forty-five.
“Now, then,” he shouted, “only three
quarter of an hour’s time. Fly around;
a fair field and no favors you know.”
And away they flew. Mr. Mann
bulged into this room and flew through
that one, and dived into one closet after
another with inconceivable rapidity,
ohuckling under his breath all the time
to think how cheap Mrs. Mann would
feel when he started off alone. He
stopped on his way up stairs to pull off
his heavy boots to save time. For the
same reason ho pulled off his coat, and
ran through the dining-room and hung
it on a corner of the silver-closet. Then
he jerked oflf his vest as he rushed
through the hall, and tossed it on a hook
in the hat-rack, and by the time he had
reaohed his own room he was ready to
plunge into his clean clothes. He pull
ed out the bureau drawer and began to
paw at the things like a Scotch terrier
after a rat.
“Eleanor,” he shrieked, “where are my
shirts ?”
“In your bureau-drawer," calmly re
plied Mrs. Mann, who was standing be
fore a glass quietly and deliberately
coaxing a refractory crimp into place
“Well, by thunder, they ain’t,” shout-
ed Mr.’ Mann, a little annoyed. “I.ve
emptied everything out of the drawer,
and there isn’t a thing in it I ever saw
before.”
Mrs. Mann stepped back a few paces,
hold her head on one side, and after
satisfying herself that the crimp would
do, and would stay where she bad put
it, replied:
“These things scattered around on
the floor are all mine. Probably you
haven’t been looking in your own
d Tdon’t see,” testily replied Mr.
Mann, “why you didn’t put my things
out for me, when you had nothing else
to do all the morning.”
“Because,” said Mrs. Mann, settling
herself into an additional article of rai
ment with awful deliberation, nobody
put mine out for me. A fair field ana
no favors, my dear.” ......
Mr. Mann plunged into his shirt like
a bull at a red flag. . ■
“Foul!” he shouted, “no buttons on
the neck I” , „ ..
“Because," said Mrs. Mann, sweetly,
after a deliberate stare at the fidgeting,
impatient man, during which she but
toned her dress and put eleven pins
where they would do the most good,
have got the shirt on
he began to sweat. He dropped the
shirt three' times before he got it on,
and while it was over bis head he heard
the clock strike ton. When his head
came through he saw Mrs. Mann coax
ing the ends and bows of her silk neck
tie.
“Where are my shirt studs?” he
cried.
Mrs. Maan went out into another
room, and presently came back with
hergloveB and her hat, and saw Mr.
Mann emptying all the boxes he could
find in and about the bureau. Then
she said:
“In the shirt you just pulled oflf.”
Mrs. Mann put on her gloves while
he hunted up and down the room for
his ouflf buttons.
“Eleanor,” he snarled at last, “I be
lieve you know where those cuflf-but-
tons are.”
“I haven’t seen them.” said the lady,
setting her hat. “Didn’t you lay them
down on the window-sill in the sitting-
room last night T”
Mr. Mann remembered and went
down stairs on the run. He stepped on
one of his boots, and Was immediately
landed in the hall at the foot of the
stairs with neatness and dispatch, at
tended in the transmission with more
bumps than he Could count with Webb’s
adder, and landing with a hang like
the Hell Gate explosion.
“Are you nearly ready, Algernon ?’’
asked the wife of his family, sweetly,
leaning over the banisters.
The unhappy man groaned. “Can’t
ou throw me down the other boot?”
o asked.
Mrs. Mann, pityingly, kicked it down
to him.
“My valise?” he inquired, as he
tugged at the boot.
“Up in your dressing-room,” she an
swered.
“Packed ?”

when the door opened and he shouted

But the neighbors say that they heard
Mr. Mann charging up and down the
house, rushing out of the front door
every now and then, shrieking up the
deserted street after the unconscious
Mrs. Mann, to know where his hat was,
and where she put the valise key, and
if he had any clean socks and under
shirts, and that there wasn’t a ilnen
collar in the house. And when he went
away at last, ho left the kitohen door,
the side door, and the front door, all the
downstairs windows and the front gate
wide open; and the loungers around the
depot were somewhat amused, just as
the train was pulling out of sight down
in the yards to see a flushed, perspiring
map with his hat on sideways, his vest
buttoned two buttons too high, his cuffs
unbuttoned and necktie flying, and his
gripsack flapping open and shut like a
demonted shutter on a March night { and
a door-key in his hand, dash wildly

Hatsrs. Weeks A Potter: Gentlemen—I have
been a great sufferer with Salt Rheum for SO
years, commencing in my head and face and
extending over the greater part of my body. I
have taken gallone of modicineo for the blood of
different kinds and tried good physiaians, all of
whioh did mo no good, ana I aamo to the eonoiu.
•ion that I could not be oured. But a friend
called my attention to an artiole in tho Union
on skin dlsoases, and I got a box of Cutioura.
The first application was a great relief, and tha
third took the scales all off, and I nit like a
new man. I have used three 60-cent boxes and
my akin is smooth, and I oonsider myself en
tirely oured. Hoping that this may be seen by
some one afflicted as I have been (if there Is
any) is my earnest wish. And I ohcerfuily rec
ommend it to all persons afflioted with like dis
eases. Yours truly,
