Our Virginia Letter I One week ago today, winter in dead earnest set in, proving to me just as lam about to set out for Old Georgia, and I hope a summer clime, that it has not forgotton the old ways when I was young. The jingle of the sleigh bells aud the merry laughter of the young occu I pants can be beard. As I looked upon the happy faces memory carried me back, when I too, was among the merry ones. I lived over many pleasant scenes, sur rouuded by friends of my boyhood days, but as I call the roll most of them fail to respond aud I am remiuded that it is another genera tion on the scene. Saturday night, 10th, was the coldest of the season; mercury fell to 6 below zero. The north prong of the Shenandoah river which is about tbe size of the Etowah, troze over, but it has snowed since, stop ping skating and ice getting. Monday morning I left the beau- j tiful town of Bridgewater, went to Harrisburg where I spent tbe day and evening, calling upon and bid ding friends gondby. Next morning went to Elkton, where I took a Norfolk Western train for Natural Bridge, in Rockbridge county. This is a hilly country, land is not as good as farther down the val ley, was settled by Scotch, Irish Presbyterians, most of the houses are of brick, well built, tbe out buildings and number of large to bacco barns, showing that there was wealth once among them. The snow kept me from seeing | tbe countryas I had hoped I drove : to the natural Bridge,and saw oue of the grandest, most picturesque and sublime sights I ever beheld, arfd far beyond what I bad imag ined All natjire was covered with snow and ice. It will have to be seen to be appreciated. The only disap pointment was, not finding the name of Washington carved as high up as I had expected to find it. There are several hotels, which are generally crowded with sum mer visitors. I hope to speud 1 Christmas with my Georgia friends. - J. C. H. i New Natural Bridge, Va.. Dec. 17, 1904.

Taylorsville was visited Tuesday night, December 27, by profes sional safe blowers. The creaks succeeded in making a good haul, as they carried away nearly six hundred dollars, The safe at Davis, Shaw Co.’s store was blown open aud utterly demolished. The burglars took over five hundred dollars from this safe belonging to Davis, Shaw Cos., the post office aud tue Tay lorsville lodge of Odd Fellows. The door of the safe was blown from its hinges, torn open and the cement with which it was filled scattered over tbe office. The force or the explosion was so ter rific as to hurl pieces of the safe against the paneling of the office and shiver tbe plank. No impor tant papers were taken. These were put into a basket aud set on a counter in tbe store. A fifty cent piece was found among them. It is thought that the burglars had a key to the front door of the store, as it was found open next morning, with no marks of vio lence upon it. Stamps, registered letters, etc-, were not touched. Tbe clock in the office of Da.’is, Shaw Cos. stopp and in the night at 3:ls,and it is thought that the robbery took | place at that lime, as the clock was probably stopped by the ex plosion. The safe belonging to the Tay lorsville Trading Company was also blown open atid forty or fifty dollars taken from it. The burglars prized open tbe front door of the store and went out the rear way. This safe was blown open once before, about two years ago. Here, as at Davis, Shaw & Co.’s, no im portant papers were taken and no goods were missed from the store. Tbe burglars obtained their tools from a blacksmith shop and a tool chest belonging to tbe rail/oad, both of which were broken open. Shortly after daylight the tracks of two men were discovered lead ing along the railroad iu the di rection of Cedar own. It was noticed that they avoided places likely to leave plain tracks. They are thought to have been the ones who robbed the stores. Efforts are being made to capture the burglars. Telegrams were sent to Washington, Chattanooga and At lanta for help. Several people heard the explosion but thought the noise was caused by cannon crackers. Old Series—2oTH Year THOMAS JEFFERSON. He Still Lives in the Hearts of AH Loyal Americans. Patriotism is not dead, nor is it permitted to sleep. This is best shown in the organization at Washington, D- C.. of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Association for the purpose of erecting a suitable memorial to the author of the Declaration oi Independence. The incorporators are among the most eminent men iu our country, aud the work is being carried forward on strictly non-partisan lines. Sectional aud party lines are dis regarded, and an appeal for co operation in this patriotic work is made from the standpoint of Jef ferson, one of the grandest of Americans. Subscriptions are pouring in from all parts of the United States to the board of governors at Washington, showing conclusively that the memory of Jefferson and his noble deeds in the formative period of our couu try are still remembered with ven eration and gratitude. The wont is in the hands of a board of gov ernors, one from each of tbe thir teen original states. Georgia being represented by Ex-Governor Candler; and a vice president from each state in the union, i Clark Howell betrg the represent -1 ative of this state. Congress has consented to the reproduction of the letters and papers in the custody of the state ! department, and the historical so cieties of the world have yielded up their treasures. These have been carefully edited aud pub lished, and from their sale it is intended to secure the fund with which to erect the memorial. Mr. A. A. Allen, assistant sec retary for the association, is spend ing a short time in the •;ity, inter esting our representative citizens in this national and patriotic cause Sample pages of the books indi cate careful editing, and these vol umes will no doubt find a place on the shelves of a great many libra ries in this section of those who appreciate whst Jefferson did for the United States.
