To the Editor—Dear Sir: For
some time I have been intending to
write a few lines for the benefit of
your host of readers, but being con
stantly on the wing, I have had little
time at my disposal since I last called
at your office. I have been in Min
nesota, Northern portion of Wiscon
sin and back to Louisville, Knox-
ille, Chattanooga, Atlanta and again
back into Wisconsin, where the cold
wave struck me and- almost laid me
on the shelf.
I spent three days at Louisville
during the G. A. R. encampment and
my old comrades were well pleased
with their reception. They all agreed
it exceeded any reception they ever
had. Since I have traveled so much
in the South the past year I am fre
quently asked by Northern people
this question : “ Can Northern peo
ple live in the South and bo received
on an equal footing in social and bus
iness circles? ” In reply, I can un
hesitatingly say, Yes! I have for
one year traveled quite extensively
in the states of Virginia, North and
South Carolina, Alabama and Geor
gia, along the line of the Southern
railway, and have been in the interior
of those slates anxious to get, law-
abiding people from the North or
from anywhere, to come and make
their homes with. them. They are
solicitous to extend to newcomers
assistance and a courtesy beyond the
expectations of Northern people,who,
as a rule, are not so demonstrative as
the Southerner. In my travels I have
met many Northern men who have
lived South ever since the close of
the war, and the majority ot them
have been ex-Union soldiers who
fought them during the war, and I
have always made it my business to
inquire how they liked the people
and the country, and the manner of
their treatment by the Southerners.
I have yet to find the first man who
had a complaint to make, or a word
of condemnation either for the South
ern people or the climate. Ab far as
I can learn, they are all enjoying life
and doing well.
I will mention the names of some
of the people I have met and can re
call their statements to establish this
fact: that's Northern man dan live
at peace with the Southern people,
and vote as lie pleases and belong to
any church or religious society lie
may select:
William Kies, of Jennings Ordo-
nary, Va., moved from Harrisburg,
Pa., in 1866. He served in the
Pennsylvania cavalry which burned
the depot at Burcbsville station, Va.,
and he made no bones of telling tbe
neighbors that be was one of the
Yanks that burned, the depot. He
was the first ex-Uaton soldier to get
tie in Nottoway county: He has
been elected to several of the county
offices. J. J. Williams was the next
ex-Union soldier to settle In ^ that
coqnty, and is, a hear neighbor to
Kies. Mr. Williams was elected to
the state senate on the Republican
ticket ,
S. M. Eby of Crew, Va., moved
there from Pennsylvania about eight
years ago. - lid came there shattered
in health. He has fully recovered,
and is satisfied with the people and
country.
I. F. Hayes, of Shiloh, Va., is also
a Pennsylvanian, has lived there
since 1869, took part in the wftf as
a Union soldier.

mander of O. M. Mitchell Post No.
1, of Atlanta, Ga. lie said lie had
always been a Republican and ex
pected to remain one as long as he
lived. I told him I wanted an hon
est statement from him with regard
to the treatment ‘ ho had received
from the Southern people. Ho said
that he could uot ask nor expect
kinder or more hospitable treatment
than he had received. He then gave
me the names of the following per
sons, members of the O. M. Mitchell
Post, No. 1, to corroborate his state
ment.
