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.

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 ?” (uticura REMEDIES “because you Wr When d Mr. U Mann slid out of the shirt barely time to pack my own.” She was passing out of the gate, when the door opened and he shouted out: "Where in the name of goodness did you put my vest ? It had all my mon ey in it.” “You threw it on the hat-rack,” she recalled. “Good-bye, dear.” Before she reached the corner of the street she was hailed again: “Eleanor! Eleanor I Eleanor Mann I Did you wear off my coat?” She paused and turned, after signal- ing the street car to stop, and cried: “You threw it on the silver closet.” And the street .car engulfed her grace ful form, and she was Been no more. 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 across the platform and halt in the middle of the track, glaring in dejected, impotent, wrathful mortification at the departing train, and shaking his fist at a pretty woman who was throwing kiss es at him lrom the rear platform of the last oar, The Way Vanderbilt Succeeded When Commodore Vanderbilt was running steamboats he beat all rivalry by crowding on steam to the utmost and even running down his enemy ii necessary to accomplish a triumph, When he went to railroading lie adopt ed a much uhrewder and more success ful way, by uniting vast lines and their tributaries under his own management, thus capturing all rivals by sharing with them the immense pool of profits that were made by his skillful manipu lation.

SALT RHEUbTfOR 30 YEARS On the Head, Face and Greater Part of the Body, Cured. 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.
