OUR VIRGINIA LETTER
A Picture ol Winter Drawn
from Real Scene.
SNOW COVERED HILLS j
A Town So Full of Churches
That it Takes its Name
IFrom Them-
The glorious Indian summer
with its many fascinations,
been here with all its grandness.
There are few things more beauti
ful to look upon than the succes
sion of ridges and hills and mount
ains, all robed in their autumn
garb, the varying contrast of the
leaves, the rich fertile farm lands
and the place which surrounds it
all. This is the panorama which
has been presented for nearly two
weeks. The smoke from the
burning mountains has been so
dense at times as to obscure the
sun. Saturday night the scene
began to change. About mid
night the welcome sound of patter
ing rain was heard, falling gently
and steadily, just such aa to glad
den the heart of the farmers, who
were becoming discouraged at the
poor stand and sickly condition
of the wheat crop. By ten o’clock
Sunday morning a snow flake now
and then could be seen mingling
with the rain. In a short time
Mother Nature had all hands
picking geese, soon covering some
of the high points. I must confess
there has not been the same fascina
tion as when a boy I used to watch
it and join in snow balling
the many sports of a deep snow,
and "Carry me back,” not to "old
Virginia,” but to “old Georgia’’
would echo through my mind.
The mountains are now covered
with snow. Passing an old mill
with an overshot wheel the sight
of hanging iciles made me shiver
and go deeper into my overcoat.
I am at Churchville, a small
village, eight miles west of Staun
ton, nestled in a beautiful narrow
valley, surrounded by very high
hills, taking its name from having
so many churches, There are five
churches, representing that many
denominations.
The past political campaign was
very quiet here, almost no speak
ing. There are a great many re
publicans in this and Rockingham
county, most of them having been
drawn off by the “readjuster”
movement, having no idea at first
of becoming republicans, but after
getting into the party are ashamed
to go back. I suppose the world
will still wag, even after such a re
publican landslide. Hope it will
not cover the new railroad and the
growth of Cartersville.

A paymaster for aa eastern

News, recently lost a satchel con

a poor boy, fond the satchel in

its contests, he took it home to his
parents. The paymaster did not

Trifling: People Beat Time.
Soma of the papers ara saying
hard things about the negro who
“beats time.” as they call it, that
is, to want and exact the highest
prices for their labor, and then do
as little work as possible therefor.
The negro is good at that, but the
negro is not the only one. we
have known white people that
would hire themselves to a man
and then would kill all the time
possible. It is plain, simple steal
ing, A negro or man who will
hire to a man and then stop work
ing every time his back is turned,
is not honest, and will steal if he
had a chance. It is this class of
people that is out of employment
most, and are in trouble the often
est. In plain words, if a man hires
another to work for him a day and
he gets in only nina hours he has
swindled his employer out of one
tenth of a day’s work. But Set
this man who has swindled his
employer out of an hour each day,
one whole day in ten days, hap
pen to hfre a man to work for him
and see how hard he is on his la
borer. He will hardly give him
time to take a drink of water, when
the week before he had beaten
some previous employer out of
more than half a day’s wages in a
week.
Well, the solid truth is, that a
man who will not give honest work
for honest pay is a thief and will,
show it when he has a chance.

A POLICEMAN’S TESTIMONY.
J.M.Paterson night policeman of
Nashua, 1 a.,writes, "Last winterlhad
a bad cold on ray lungs and tried at
least a half dor.en advertised congh
medicine* and had treatment from two
physicians without getting any bene
fit. A friend recommended Foley’s
Honey and Tar and two thirds of a
bottle cured me. I consider it the
greatest cough and lung medicine in
the world.”
Healthy Mothers.
Mothers should always keep In
good bodily health. They owe it to
their children, Yet it is no unusual
sight to see a mother, with babe in
arins t coughing violently and ex
hibiting all the symptoms of a con
sumptive tendency. And why should
this dangerous condition exist, dan
gerous alike to mother aud ohild,
when Dr. Bosehee’s German Syrup
would pnt a stop to it at once? No
mother should be without this old
and tried remedy in the houst—for
its timely use will promptly cure any
lung, throat or bronchial trouble in
hersfelf or her children. The worst
cough or cold ean be speedily cored
by German Byrup; so can hoarseness
and congestion of the bronchial tubes.
It makes expectoration easy, and
gives instant relief aud refreshing
rest to the cough-racked consumptive.

Form for a Love Letter.
To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.
In answer to the appeal of’’Mary
White” for some reader to help
her out in the matter of writing a
love letter, I wish to state to Mary
that she has my sympathy, as I
have been in love myself and can
therefore imagine her perplexity.
I desire to submit the following
for her assistance:
“My Darling; I love you. Every
minute that I am from your side
seems like 60 seconds. If you only
knew how my heart throbs with
love when I think of you! No one
in the wide world can soothe my
aching, heart and oh, how I wish I
were clasped in your loving em
brace with those dear arms about
me. But dearest, do not think
that the dumb waiter of indif
ference has carried the cold ashes
of affection from the hot-blast base
burner in the guest chamber of
my heart to the sub-cellar of
oblivion, for such is not the case.
This heart of mine is flaming with
an incandescent flame of love that
has grown so hot that I have to
drink liquid asbestos to keep it
from frying my lungs. Until we
are one my happiness will not be
complete. Your ever affectionate.
Mary White.”

THE METHODISTS.
North Georgia Conference Meets at Marietta
this Week.
The Methodist ministers of Brr
tow county any many lay members
of the church are attending the
meeting of north Georgia confer
ence at Marietta this week.
There are ten changes which
are rendered necessary, because
that number of ministers have
served four years in the churches
which they are now attending, and
will be moved. These are Rev. C.
W. Byrd, of the First Methodist
church; Dr. Luke G. Johnson, of
the Park street; Dr. H. M. Quillian,
of the Payne Memorial, and Dr,
S. R. England, at St. John's
There are 38 preachers who have
served their churches for three
vears, and they are liable to change.
There are 73 pastors who have
served two years, and they, too,
are subjected to change at this
conference. Many of the one-year
ministers will be returned to their
places for another year.
The conference has lost several
ministers by death, aud their places
will have to be re-filled. These
are Rev. W. A. Dodge, Rev. E.
W. Ballinger, Rev. J. IfT Myers,
Rev. T. F. Pierce, J. L PerrytnanP
W. P. Rivers; one transferred to
Idaho, Rev. T. P, Graham; one
who leaves to reside in the city of
Jerusalem, Rev. P. L. Stanton.
There will be several transfers
from other fields to upper Georgia,
among them Dr. W. W. Wadsworth
The Toilers in Oar

N<* workmen in the world can do sn much
or use the satttfe intelligcuce that our own

Unfortunately where 1
there is smoke, dirt and
dust and little sunlight
there also can be found
the germs of disease.
Nature’s great disinfec
tant is sunlight. It is
in th ffietory, the work
shop, the office, that
men and wmeu suffer
from diseases which are
in the dust and the had
air. Snch disease
striu enter into the
blood in two ways,
either threoffh the
lungs or stomach.
After years of experi
ence in an active prac
tice, Dr. R. V. Fierce,
of Buffalo, N. Y., discovered a remedy
that is a blood-maker and tissue builder,
at the same time alleviates a cough. He
called it Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery —an alterative extract that assists
in the digestion and assimilation of the
food —so that the blood gets its elements
from the products of digestion, the liver at
the same time is started into activity and
there is perfect elimination of waste mat
ter. The germs of grip, malaria, catarrh
or consumption find a fertile field if the
body is not kept in perfect order and
the blood pure.
Because the stomach is diseased there
is a diminution of the red corpuscles of
the Uiood. This is why one is sleepless,
languid, nervous and irritable. Sensitive
stomachs groan aloud at the irritating cod
liver oils, but they will get all the food
elements the tissues require by using the
"Golden Medical Discovery.”
The " Discovery ” is absolutely a non
alcohplic and non - narcotic medicine.
There is nothing else "just as good.”
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets, the best
laxative for old and young people. They
cure constipation and biliousness.
and it is said that Rev. Nath
Thompson may come from Texas.
On tlie'Sunday during the con
ference in Marietta, Methodist
preachers will occupy nearly all
of the pulpits in that city. Bishop
Duncan will preach at the Meth
odist church.
The sessions of the conference
will be held in the Cobb county
court house.
The itinerant and other clergy
of this church will aggregate over
600, and the laUv members over
100,000
Dr. William Wallace Duncan,
one of the bishops of the church
south, will preside over the delib
erations of the body. The con
ference will be in session for six
days, and will deal with spiritual,
educational and financial matters.
The meeting will adjourn after
the assignment of the various
Methodist preachers in this district
to their fields of labor for the year
1903, There are some 250 pastors
to be assigned appointments, and
the occasion is one of great inter
est to the ministers as well as to
the thousands of church-going peo
ple whom they are appointed to
serve.
The hospitable citizens of Mari
etta will extend an elegant and am
ple reception to the visitors to the
conference. Bishop Duncan will
be the guest of SenaUft and Mrs.
A. S. Clay, at whose elegant home
the presiding elders and bishop
wifi meet in d<aily executive session,
as secret sessions of any legisla
ture.
