Charlestonians in our Midst.
We have several families now in our midst, from Charleston, spending the summer months, some of whom have rented furnished houses, and others finding comfortable boarding places. Our good society should cultivate the acquaintance of these visitors by calling on them, and otherwise endeavoring to render their stay pleasant and agreeable. This vigorous mountain air, country scenery, and the quiet rest they will find, we wish could induce more of our low country friends to spend July, August and September with us. We know that this is not a Long Branch or a Newport, neither do we have the ten thousand follies and extravagances they would find at those watering places; but we have a sentiment that is mutual—skies that are blue, fields that are green and hearts that are warm.
