Qxlt Virginia Letter. Dear Dispatch: After a protracted silence, I drop you a few lines on this cold, bieak, wintry night. Yes. it's winter, the genuine, unadulterated article, Irdly complying with the requirements c: the pure food law of June 30, 1903. Last night I was out at church until about 9 o'clock, and we ah p.-edicti ti snow. We were not surprised to lino about six inches cl .hat arixl* on ... ground this rooming, end is s-hl coming dew ... in 10 or 1- incurs deep now, and The wind whistling as fearful rate. Lot 1 am well are;-:-.rod i - i - ' ~ ' to en joy n in my s.:uiy uy & goo' lire. i ciiii appreciate it too, for* I was in only one night last v eek, and this is the only one this week, and I should have been out now had it not been roo rough. This would make fourteen sermons in two weeks, and J am to teach a Sunday school class and preach three times to-morrow. But I was talking about the snow. We had one Sept. 20 about as deep as to-dajT. Last week, on Wednesday, the thermometer registered at 17. , Our farmers have had a very good year. Cabbage, the medium of circulation in our town, truly meant greenbacks Twenty-two cars were shipped from here in one day. Think of that for a town of 1000 people! Both the yield and prices were good. It could be grown without loss for 25 cents per hundred pounds. This year it averaged about one dollar per hundred. Farmers made from ?150 to ?200 an acre. Some years though they lose, and then cabbage rots in the fields. Quantities of potatoes (Irish), rutabagas, and livestock have been shipped. The export beef cattle in size look like young elephants. It is not unusual that they weigh 1600 pounds each. Last Monday, I spent some time about the hospital for the insane ? ~ T Lnyrrv r\ ATTAH OOOn fl Of* All HXctliUii. x uavc jicrci o&vu cattle, chickens and hogs. They had #nly Holstein cows, and some of then? they told me gave four gallons at each milking, twice a day. They had only two kinds of chickens, Plymouth Rocks and Leghorns. These layed well only one egg a day; they now have abdut 3,000 of them. Besides houses fall for brooding, and many in a lot for fattening. I saw 48 in a pen that would weigh about 400 pounds each. They had only Berkshires, and their brooding houses were fixed up with steam heat. This i9 hog-killing time here and we -are enjoying it if the real hogs are sot. Mrs. Ballentine has had a busy sum_JHer. She has had 27 piano pupils, andiauguuJrpn1 6 to 10 hours six days in the week. The next letter from the shall likely ft? from Leesville, S. 0.
