Er>rrons: I seldom wrlite, and, therefore, do not know that I will say anythiing that will be of inlterest to the readers of your well edited and higlhy esteemed paplei', still I think it, nothing but right for' you to heair fi-om King's Creek as well as from other parts of the County. We have had rain in abundance, so muchi that we c:mn scarcelhy get to plo)w and p)lant our1 cr'ops. Sometimes we are almost ready to des pair', as~ the saying is, we get "down ini the moi(uth," but when it fairs off' anid the sun comes out, the gloom paisses oft' and we are up and1( doing. Both the white and colored people of this ineigh borhoodare a~' ll busy, trying to study oiut ho(w to get along tile fatstest. The( colored peop)le have studied out a plan3 to saVe( timle inl plhanting as well as the white peole. I saw Woddy Maybin, a colored mani that hits a1 'ontracit on Mr. W. H. Knight's planltation, pulling a plow with a board on it anld sowing the9 seed at the same time. He had a chaLin through the beam and a strap at tached to thle end of the chain and14 buckled ar1ounld him and one of his children was hioldinig upi thel plow. 1 unidertstanuid tha:t aniothier colore'd manl,, Noaih Wilson, who has a contract on Mr. Danuiei B.'s plantation, is sowing anid coverlig in the wame manner. I think this is a day of enterprise. Pull ing time plow., sowing the seed anid coy ering,o all at the saIme tlime, is equal to Mr. H. 11. F.'s laying off two rows with 031e horse. We cani boast of' having two stores in this section of thle country, oneC near King's Creek, kept 1y Mr'. Newton Rtead, the othmer over on the Cadwell road in the Chinquepins, kept by Mr. Butler Cameron. We have no school. Wheat anid oats are looking ine for the time. Mr. 11. C. W., and Mr. W. H. K. have as good whea~t as need b)e for this time~ of the year. Corn is doing as well as could be expected having so much rain. I hoaird that Mr. H1. C. W. said, that if it did not soon quit raining he was afraid tile frogs would eat up his corn. Irish potatoes are doing well. We have them as large as a partridge egg. Sweet potato slips are earlier than I ever saw them. Some are large enough to transplant. If you, Mr. Senior, are not beneited by the Chalybeate water, recommended by C. P.

It is also ve-ry cool, which. adds to the d.isagreeaiblenes.s of t.he weather. The streams are all very much swollen. Th'le lit tle birds have all ensed to sing and not a chirp do we hear firom them. All is dark and gloomy without. Thme rain is patter ig upon the roof, thick anid fist, an~d making miiusie. but not music to the ears. "The song of the waters" at times becomes tuoutonous. We huave purpoed for soimetimue giving you a short descriptioni of Sa. hem, the little "City of Peace." It is a eat and enterprising little village of some 2,000 or 2,500 inhabitants, is pleasantly situated between the Blue Ridge and Allegha :ny mouutai i , whichl conie very near together at this poiit. ad is surrounded by the most beauti ful and inagnificent scenery. The spirit of iimprovemiett seems to be the order of the (lay, and on all sides fine houses are goitig up and uep iirs are being mi:de. Quite recently there hams beei one of the largest, finest and umost imposing hotels in all South western Virginia erected anid splendid. ly furmished. Last seasou it was crowded to overliowing- with South. eruers who came here and found a pleasant home to spend their Summiet mutmhs.
