Protest From a Lady.
Editor Sylvan Valley News:
I wish to call your attention to
the unspeakable, impassible con
dition of North Caldwell street as
far as Whitmire street and from
thence to the Brevard Industrial
School. The planks are placed
at intervals, and one alternates
from springing planks, the ends
of which throw up slush and mud,
into the mud itself. Probably
more persons travel those streets
•than any other in town and their
condition is a standing reflection
on the town management and
particularly those who represent
us in that vicinity.
I am not a resident of that sec
tion but a frequent visitor and
speak feelingly. If you, Mr. Ed
itor had undertaken the journey
there last Sunday and could have
seen' the forty or tifty school girls
joggling along on the planks and
picking out the least muddy spots
m "the intervals, you w’ould be
Aspired to use all your influence
I to repair the evil and confer one
more benefit on suffering women
of whom I am unfortunately one.
Prospective Wedding.
Engagement Announced of Miss Mary Morel
to Mr. Geaard Van Schaick of Chicago.
Tlio following olii)piiig from tlio
Savannah, Ga., Xows, of recent
date will bo of interest to many of
onr readers, to whom both ]>arties
are well known. Miss Morol has
been a frequent visitor in Brevard
for several years, and has spent
the greater portion of tlie last two
winters here with lier mother.
Mr. Van Sc'haick lias many
friends in this section, having at
first been a forestry stnd('nt in
Pisgali For(‘St, and nntil recently a
resident of Brevard, lie having
bnilt and oecnpied “Squirrel Inn.”
This is one instance where we
can congra til late both parties and
they have the best wishes of the
News and their many friends :
“Annonnc(nnent has been made
by Mrs. Calhoiin T. Morel of tlie
engagement of her daughter, Mary
Pendleton, to Mr. (,4('rard Van
Sehaiek of Chicago. No date has
yet been se-t for the wedding.
“The announcement lias been
tlie source of niuc-h pleasant inter
est, especially among the young
circle of [Miss Morel's intimate
friends. Although slit* was (‘x-
pected to be one of the debutantes
of last season or the jiresent one,
she has sj:)ent much of her time
away from Savannah recently, and
has never inadt' her formal appear
ance in society. She is, however,
identifuMl witli the buds of this s('a-
son as on(" of an attractive little
circle of friends that have grown
up together, and while interest in
her engagement is keen, it will be
much regrett(Hl that she will not
make her home in Savannah after
her niarriagt>.”
Derivation of Fad.
The clorivatioii of the word “fad” i3
possibly traceable in the Welsh lan
guage. By the law of mutation of ini
tial consonants peculiar to that tongue
the root Avords ffedd and inedd are
convertible terms. Their essential
meaning Is possession; transitive or in-
' transitive, possession of sonisi*
i the act of being nos::
by sonij
While it is absurd for mem
bers of the House of Representa
tives to introduce 12,000 bills in
a single session, it is only fair to
remember that under existing
rules, “introducing bills” is about
the only privilege left to the av
erage representative.
May I.<ive 100 Years.
The chances for living a full cen
tury are excellent in the case of Mrs.
Jennie Duncan, of Haynesville, 3Ie.,

dyspepsia of 20 years standing and
made me feel as well and strong as
a young girl,” Electric Bitters ci^e

they are nr)t in a ])osition to do
