r TO HIS XEW15ERIIY FRIENDS Dear Editor: Y'ith your permission, I want to write a letter through your paper to our many friends in South [ Carolina in geeral, and former par- ' ishioners in Newberry County in particular. After several days coniDatting show and ice and zero weather, we finally left our frie .d^ at Pomaria Thursday morning. Jan. 3. 0 " ! ? - ? A ??r?* rv-?

All day Defore we were hauling our household effects over icy hills to the depot, anc* placing them in a car. The last loacr, A made after dark was finally toomucn W for the team U> pull up the DerriCK bill, and another mule had to be added* W/k After a stenmous day and night, our ||B family was made comfortable in tie 0P homes of Mr. Jas. P. Setzler and Mrs. Alma Sebt. The ?ext morndtag we were -up at 5 o'clock, wading through the snow, gettkg ready to go Dy auioio Alston. This was done to catch an early train to Spartanburg :Tommie Setzler was at the wheel guiding his faithful Chevrolet, and William runn " ?

Wall, there was not much time to lose, so we jumped out and tried to puv-h the machine up the hill. But I slipped ar.d fell and rolled over a few \imes, and soon gave up the job. The boys finally let the car run down hill, and then came up backward. Tiie little Ford just will go, one ,way cr the other, and this 'time it was the other. We reached Alston in time for the :-rain. I carried Llewella, across the Broad river trestle, and the walk way was covered with snow. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. ^ The cars were comfortable, and the 1^ scenery was fine. At Spartanburg we tcok the C. C. and 0. R. R. to Johnson jfeiW City, Tenn. This is the most wonder6 W ful mountain scenery I have ever seen. fy I shall not attempt to describe it. lr any who may read these lines has an HF opportunity travel over the road. W by all means do so. .There are nrneteei/ tunnels in about that many miles. The road literally bores through the mountains. At one place near AlteH pass, X.

Then again, when we first struck the . Foe river, we were >oing down stream, ,n a short while we were going up J stream^ then soon we were gom^ down stream agai'. This time it was the river that made the double loop, we went straight forward. The mraiitDin scenery all along wasgranc ^ beyond description. w We stopped in Abingon. Va? for t) e ni?rht. fourteen miles from Bristo*. and sixte3n miles from c:;r u.^stma- , lie-:. The thermometer was then !_ degrees below zero, but the hotel wa^ comfortable as a May morni g, and we I got a much needed rest and bath. The next morning, we bearded the Virginia Carolina railroad for Ba T mascus. The distance was only sixteen miles, but it took fifty two minutes nisivfi the run. We twisted ottwee-. mountains and over fertile valleVs. The snow was about a foot o O deep, but on arrivrl at Damascus, kind friends ?nnn made us comfortable in ? iX the neat warm cozy parsonage. ; (Perhaps I should not make tnis f( letter logo# More at another time. We already feci very much at home p and hope to do much for the great cause of upbuilding Christ's king- n ! dom in our new fteld. of course we fee: ^ a little home sick for our friends in South Carolina. We left a mighty good people in the Pomarin pastorate, f ; and thi k of them very often. To each i of these, we send lovp and good wishes. S. C. Ballentine ' * ! A i Damascus, Va.
