CORRESPONDENCE.
From Early, Floyd Co., C,a.
Mu, Editor:— We have had a singular
visitor. Sitting at our desk last Sunday
evening about sundown we cast a look
oat to the road and saw an old man tiav
cling on a pair of crutahes and one leg.
lie approached oorgateand called for us.
We answered and ho came in. He had
no coat nor baggage. We gave him a
chair and welcome and lie at once entered
into a pleasant and intelligent conversa¬
tion, except that he would occasionally
refer to his commission to travel and
post, and said that he had been traveling
mid posting for thirty-seven years; that
he first started out with a horse and bug¬
gy, and then on horseback, and seven
years ago he was set afoot. Ho sat and
talked intelligently till perhaps eleven
o’clock, then he lay down and slept well
till four, a. in., when he got up,saying lie
had to go up towards the rivei and do
some posting. He came back to breakfast
after which ho asked information about
directions, which we gave, and he moved
on, leaving us Ids good wishes, which
were reward enough.
This poor old man has a mania that lie
must travel and post. He says that lie
has to jiost all fork roads and crossings.
He goes up to a fork or cross and makes
a cross mark with one of his crutches and
then walks off fifty yards and makes an¬
other cross mark and so on all the roads
and that is what lie calls posting. Some¬
times he will spend over halfday posting
one place. He will laugh and enjoy the
mistakes of people who think that he is
crazy. He is confident that he has a com¬
mission from on high to travel and post.
We are of the opinion that he fractured
bis mind by hard studdy of the Bible,
vying to fathom the deep prophesy of
Vvzekiel. He is as well versed in Bible
reading as any one we have ever heard
talk. His name is Hampton Young. He
is a Primitive Baptist.

A Little Girl's Experience In A Lighthouse

FOOTPRINTS OF THE WORLD’S HIS¬
TORY.
From the Christian Record, Reading, Pa,
Ben Franklin once made the statment,
‘•Schools teach us the rudiments of lan¬
guage, but books teach us Iiow to think;
therefore, no man is truly educated un
ess ho is a reader of books.” Ben was
right, but ho lived in an age when books
were so scarce, comparatively speaking,
that but little of the pernicious in litera¬
ture was tolerated. But in these days it
is different. Your hoys thirst for a
knowledge of the world, and if you don’t
give them some wholesome reading to
slake that thirst, they will get hold of
cheap, sensational stories that will poi¬
son their minds and do them terrible in¬
jury.
There is such a vast amount of this
trashy stuff being poured into the market
at tlie present time, that it is a relief to
pick up a new book that is at once thrill¬
ing, romantic, wholesome, and true.
Such a work is “Frootpvints of tlie
World’s History,” tlie latest and greatest
work of the two celebrated historians,
John Clark Rid path and Wm. S. Bryan.
These distinguished gentlemen, having
won their laurels by independent writ¬
ings, have, co-operated on this work, and
produced a gem “of the purest ray se¬
rene.” Ji is not a dry, uninteresting
statement of the plain facts, but rather
each of the most important events of his¬
tory has been taken up and described by
a master of language, who holds the read¬
er cntraced as he wends his way along
the path of history, following carefully
in the footprints of progress.
We are delighted with this superb vol¬
ume. Perfect in thought, superb in
style, and magnificent in execution. The
binding are sumptuous, as are also the
many illustrations and colored plates.
The 'publishers liavo rightly concluded
that such a gem should have a rich set¬
ting.
It is a valuable addition to literature.
It is a book for the old as well as tlie
young; the married as well as the single;
the gay as well as the grave. Everybody
will read it with equal eagerness and
profit. It is sold only through agents,
and the Publisher’s advertisement ap¬
pears in another column.
Catarrh, neuralgia, rheumatism and
most diseases originate from impure
blood. Cleanse it, improve it, purify it
with De Witt’s Sarsaparilla and health is
restored, strength regained. Sold by
Neill & Almou.
