Editors Vindicator:
l intended writing piece for your pa
per last week, but was SO pressed with
business that l could not find time, so I
will take time now-it is never too late to
speak of the ladies. 1t surprises me when
l think l have let even important bust
ness keep me from writing to you before
this, as it is something about ladies.
am always on hand when they are about.
I want to let you know what the ladies in
our county (Nelson) did a short time
since. l said our county-not quite al
were from Nelson. We invited few
pretty girls and one witty fellow from your
county. but they are half Tuckahoes and
we claim all that belongs to US. Now,
do not understand me to say just because
they are half Tuckahoes they are pretty
and witty. / don't mean anything of the
kind, for you have as pretty girls and
handsome boys in your county as we have,
although some of your Augusta boys find
themselves without heart when they
meet with the chatty Tuckahoe girls, and
we'll they may. Yet you will see l am a
true friend to old Augusta, I am not 60
ing to compliment our girls over yours at
all, for l have been as highly en-
tertained in your county by the ladies
as l ever was in my life. Youg
girls have sound sense Gents and dollars)
and are well informed young ladies, yet
our Tuckahoe girls have just brass enough
and when you rGS brass it is bound to
shine. So l will tell you of a shiny trick
they did short while since. We have a
church over here in Nelson called Hebron
Baptist 1t is choice place on the foot
stool eff heaven, at least her members think
So This church has large membership
land large number of pretty girls help to
make up that membership too, the gentle
men did not feel able to help the ladies buy
new things for the church, so the ladies
helped themselves (they can do that) and a
help it was too, for grander tableaux and

it reflects great honor on the energetic and
and well informed committee, whose names
Twill give in full if they will pardon me
for so doing, Mrs. S. H Williams, Miss
Josie M. Smith, Miss Jennie r. Bush,
Miss Ida M. Smith, Miss Mary L. Good

tableaux and charades the five ladies got
up; they are worth reading about,

liams and quite a number of charades &C.,
which the want Of time and space will not
allow me to give in full. Now, this half
Tuckahoe family I speak of deserves much
credit for their kind assistance lent to US
and we shall ever be under lasting obliga-
tons to them. Their superior voices. wit
and talent are not to be surpassed. Your
side of the ridge can claim their talent
if you wish, but, if decided by law. Tucka-
hoe would get it sure. For fear of taxing
up too great a space in your paper [ will
bring this to close by simply saying to
the ladies they can work, and they ought
to work for their churches.
