Mr. Editor:

You will please insert the enclosed advertisement in the next number of your paper, and thus oblige one who is anxious to enter the matrimonial state of perfect unalloyed happiness. The pay for the advertisement you will please collect of of those who will be benefitted by such a glorious opportunity of winning God's last, best gift to man — a good woman.

Respectfully, &c., Mary Faithful

Snowville, Va., May 1876.

__________

Leap Year.

Hurrah ! Hurrah ! our chance has come.
Who has a heart that's to be won?
I want a man who's not a fool,
So send my "Ad." to Blacksburg school.

I'm smart, and young, and rather pretty,
Gay and lively, bright and witty;
Of single life I'm getting weary,
So who will come and be my dearie

Leap year's here as you must know,
And I'm resolved to have a beau.
Before the grand Centennial's o'er,
This I want and nothing more.

He must be loving, true and kind,
Possess a noble, generous mind,
A soul that's free from every stain,
And then he need not woo in vain.

Proposals sealed; please send them down,
To Pulaski county, Snowville town.
Address them to C. S. Bill's care,
And I will get them straight from there.
