Dear Aunt Judy: Most ol the cousins begin their first letter with, “I five so-and-so.” Well, I don’t do anything of the kind. I don’t live anywhere. After drinking Birmingham water three days I am so near dead that should death’s dark angel come up and say, “Come on,” 1 don’t believe I would be surprised, but simply assentby saying, “Just as I expected." I am decidedly a Georgia boy. Bom and raised in Georgia, schooled in South Carolina —not educated—reduced in flesh and badly- disappointed with Florida. 1 find myself—or rather I am lost—in Birmingham; and I am so utterly too disgusted with it that I write to warn all Georgia boys of it. If you have tome of the water shipped to you, so that you can get accustomed to it before you come here, probably it won’t go so hard with you. I could write more on this subject, but 1 am so home sick, heart sick, and so very sick not a 1,000 miles below the heart, that I will let up. When we left Jacksonville, Fla., eight days ago, and Atlanta four days ago, the cry was, “Ho! for Birmingham! ’ Three days later, it is not ho for Birmingham, but h-o-m-el And what are the people doing here? Coming and going. They are not trading in the stores, for the clerks are helping to block the side walks. The people are going to get “there” (the ‘ intelligent compositor” can put ‘there’ in italics or quote it, whichever is the most convenient), aid when they get “there” the idea is to turn round and go “there”—some where else. Why, they ought to have elevated sidewalks to allow the people to get along bet ter. In Georgia and even in our South Caro lina and Florida villages, we consider it coun try-like to cross the street at angles or any where except at comers, hut here everybody is in such a hurry that they cut across from one corner to the opposite corner a block be low, forming sheep paths in the shape of an X. 1 would give a description of the city, but I am afraid you are already tired out. I am not afraid of the Birmingham people lymhing me —they haven’t got time—and besides, ere this reaches yon I will shake Birmingham dust— or raiher I w 11 scrape the mud—off my feet. If you are an old maid you won’t publish this letter, but I don’t believe you are, so I write, hoping to save some Georgia hoy from my experi -nee in Birmingham. You now have a chance at my expense, to prove yourself. If this letter is published I will write to the cous in i next time. If it is not, tra la-la. A. Que. Dear Cousins: 1 know, “that silence is gol den,” but I canDOt refrain from talking any linger. I have come for a moments stay only, but hope in that short time to help you construe the meaning of cur Dearie’s words: “Monk is as false as he is fair.” I never claimed to be handsome, in fact 1 am characterized for my ugliness of personage and Dearie knows it. She also knows, that a truer or more loyal heart never beat than mine. Don't you Sweet heart? Red Head, I was wofully disappointed, when I dijj not mtet you at the Spring Bank picnic. I started to send you a message by Patsy Lee, but it was too sweet, and melted in my mouth. Ruby Lynn you are so irresistible, winning until I fear I shall not be able to limit my love strictly to a cousinly affection. I have a darling secret of “B, L. B’s;’’ I am tryiDg to help her keep it, from spoiling. 1 spent last Sunday in LaGrange. While there with Priscilla at my side, I took in the delicious sweetness of “Ferrels Garden.” It is a veritable Fairy Land, with sure enough fairies in it, (duriug our stay there.) The gar den is approached by a beautiful shaded lawn, which almost entirely surrounds it. The grounds are slightly elevated, and slope back to either sidd. It is terraced, and laid off into lovely walks. Here in rich profusion each va riety of fliwer, of eveiy tint and hue, fling their lragrance to the balmy breezes—for no expense, labor or care, have been denied that would contribute to its beauty. 1 thought, as my eyes feasted upon this gorgeous scene, that I felt a touch of Heaven’s sweetness, and especially so when I gazed into the si nlful dep.hs of the soft blue eyes of the companion at my side, and I realized tbat I was in the presence of a character as pure as the crystal water that flowed in peaceful silence ’neath our feet. But I am occupying too much of Aunt Judy’s valuable space, so will withdraw. With affec tionate regards to each contributor, I am, lovingly, Move. Will you make room for me once again? Several months have flown swiftly by since I was last with you, yet I hope I am not quite forgotten, and that some of you will extend a hand to me in welcome. Good morning, Un fie Punch! How are you these days? Where is Bridget? She was al ways a pet of yours. Find her and bring her back Here’s a kiss for you, Vixen. I love you more than ever, dear. Lice you, I love all dis ciples. It was not my pu-ry, however. Here’s a welcome to our Mountaineer, Hya- cinib, and Dark Eyes. D. £., a sweet little blue-eyed girl, my only first cousin, fives in your State. Love to Musa Dunn, Rosa Alba, Veritas, N. L. II and Pandora, my favorite Householders. Left, somebody says Pm Left. What do you think of that? No. I’m not Left. I’m not a boy, I am a girl; not a very good one, 1 know, but a girl, at d I am glad of it Moiky Free, Mazie, West End, where are you all hiding? Howdy-do, Fom Canty! Forgotten? Oh, no! We are glad to have you with us again. To Chok Gazelle and Hard Times, as to all our newly married members, I extend congrat ulations. May they five long, happy and use ful lives. Come to us often, Cousin Annie. Yourever come without teaching us something How well if we ail did the same! Aunt July is frowning and I guess I’m stay ing too long. Au recoir. Cecil.

SOUTH CAROLINA There is talk of a stock company erec r ing a commodious ho’el at Walhafia. A large number of sum mer visitors are al ready there. Greene county shows up with a min eral deposit. The E uta w Mirror repori s the finding of iron ore there. The regu’ar com mencement exercises of Sumter Institute were held on the evening of rhursoay, the 9th inst., and were very inter esting and well attended. The prospect for the giape crop around Wal- halia is very promising The representative of a company working a corundum mine in North Carolina, after pros pecting awhile near Laurens, offered three hundred dollars an acre for Jands on Little river, which was refused. He afterwards bought thirty acres from anotbtr party. The deposit of corundum in that locality is said to be inexhaustible. SOUTH CAROLINA. “Geo. P. Rowell rt Co., 10 Spruce s'reet, New York, have long stood in advance in the fine of general advertising agencies. They have been invariatly correct in their dealings, both with public at large, and the many news papers with whom they have had business transactions. Their acknowledged facilities enable them to perform all they contract for.” —Republican, Chester, Pa. LOUISIANA.

Acting on the sucgesti-in of Carolene, I do away with a formal introduction. I have very lately subscribed for tbe Sunny South, and this column caught my eye iutme diately after I begun to read it (tbg paper). I was struck with something else, loo; can you guess what? Simply this, the eternal gib gab of some flippant “Miss,” who boasts of her exceedingly large number of “beaux”—and, by the way, she counts the white spots on her finger nai s to ascertain the number of the former. Now, I’m in for a reform. Let us think a little seriously. Let me start you off right by imr- ducing a scientific question. This is one which we did not s-ttle at school. Let us try to settle it: Which wou d go the farther, a cannon ball weighing eight pounds or one three pounds, if the same velocity be applied to both. I expe ;t to give my opinion next time; for if I Rhould do so this time, this might never reach the monstrous iron jaws of the press. Common Sense. Atlanta, Ga. Dear Aunt Judy: I have been thinking for a long time of writing to you. but n y courage always failed me in the attempt to inter your glorious little circle, where there are so many beautiful and intelligent members. As the girls here say that I am very bashful. I think it best to strike while the iron is hjt. Now I find myself as in a dream in some beautiful fairyland. With angels as guards bovored around me while I p«n you these few lines. I hope that they wifi not reach tbe waste-basket —which is the destiny of so many. Hope that it will be welcomed by you and the cousins into your graDd little band which shines throughout our noble land as a glittering star, suspended by golden cords in the beautiful heavens above us and which brings joy and gladness to so many youthful hearts. I must eloie for this time, as I know I have taxed your patience. Wito much love to you and the c ">usins I am Your Nephew, Hermit. Dear Aunt Judy: Will you be so kind as to admit one more to join your happy little circle? Since I have become a subscriber of your inte resting paper, and see how much the cousins enjoy themselves, I feel entirely lost not being a member of your pleasant circle. I have just read a letter from Bonnie Sweet Bessie. 1 must say I am highly pleased with the way she addretses the loved cousins. I would like so much to see her! I think she would just suit me. I would ask her age, hut will wait a little .onger before I undertake to ask so much. This is my second letter to you, so I hope you will please me with a copy soon, as you failed to publish the other. Hoping to become a member of your loving little band and to hear from some of the cou sins at an early date. I am yours truly, Minden, La , box 9.

If you have all, or any considerable number of these symptoms, you are suffering from that most common of American maladies— Bilious Dyspepsia, or Torpid Liver, associated with Dvspepsia, or Indigestion. The more complicated your disease has become, the greater the number and diversity of symp toms. No matter what stage it has reached. Dr. Pierce’s Golden medical Discovery will subdue it, if taken according to direc tions for a reasonable length of time. If not cured, complications multiply and Consump tion of the Lungs, Skin Diseases, Heart Disease, Rheumatism, Kidney Disease, or other grave maladies are quite liable to sot in and, sooner or later, induce a fatal termination. Dr. Pierce’s Golden medical Dis covery acts powerfully upon the Liver, and through that great blood - purifying organ, cleanses the system of ail blood-taints and im purities, from whatever cause arising. It is equally efficacious in acting upon the Kid neys, and other excretory organs, cleansing, strengthening, and healing their diseases. As an appetizing, restorative tonic, it promotes digestion and nutrition, thereby building op both flesh and strength. In malarial districts, this wonderful medicine has gained great celebrity in curing Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever, Dumb Ague, and kindred diseases. Dr. Pierce’s Golden medical Dis covery CURES ALL HUMORS, from a common Blotch, or Eruption, to the worst Scrofula. Salt-rheum, “ Fever-sores,” Scaly or Rough Skin, in short, all diseases caused by bad blood are conquered by this powerful, purifying, and invigorating medi cine.

From its mar velous power over this terribly fatal disease, when first offering this now world-famed rem edy to the public. Dr. Pierce thought seriously of calling it his “Consumption Cure,” but abandoned that name as too restrictive for a medicine which, from its wonderful com bination of tonic, or strengthening, alterative, or blood-cleansing, anti-biiious, pectoral, and nutritive properties, is unequaled, not onlv as a remedy for Consumption, but for all Chrouic Diseases of the Liver, Blood, and Lungs. For Weak Lungs, Spitting of Blood, Short ness of Breath, Chronic Nasal Catarrh, Bron chitis, Asthma, Severe Coughs, and -kindred affections, it is an efficient remedy.
