CJ I. L. Polk

DEAR SIR i sent YOU a card
some weeks since stating that If
I could compose my mind, after
the very cold weather, / would
endeavor to send you a commu-
niration about olden times, or
% wears ago. | will now try
and comply although | have
been quite unwell for several
davs with cold and in doing
this | shall confine myself to the
Albomarle and Roanoke region,
in which locality | was born and
lived when a boy. This section
Of country was settled by a
hardy, persevering and energetic
people, and Notwithstanding the
cultivation of the soil, was SO
very different from what it is at
the present time, yet strange to
say a great many Of the farmers
accumulated fortunes, and had
an abundance of every thing to
live on-corn, pork, beef, NUT
ton, and poultry of all kinds
together with any quantity of
milk and honey-not so at this
time. The land was free and in
good heart, and the cultivation
was done chiefly with the old
heeke and half-share hoe and
wooden shaft pillow frame-very
few trace plows, if any, used,
and then only on the river bot
toms. No fertilizers We're used,
except such as were made in the
barn yard and cow-pens. The
principal produce vas corn, pork
and naval stores. Plymouth,
near the mouth of the Roanoke,
was the grain and naval store
depot. The pork was driven to
Virginia where bacon merchants
purchased it. The corn, turpen-
tine and tar was carried down
the Roanoke in keel boats, some
Of which would carry from two
to five hundred barrels of grain
or naval stores, and stored in
the many large warehouses and
the naval store yard Of the
Nessrs. Clark, Carmel & Co..
where it was put in order for
Shipment to market. Nearly
every thing for the support Of
the family with the exception
OF sugar, coffee, salt and iron,
with a few other minor things)
was made at home. The wheel
and loom was constantly in use.
All the clothing for the slaves
Was manufactured at home, and
also the hats and shoes, and
even the shoe thread. Well do
l recollect at this day where the
lax pound of my father was.
The flax was watered or dew
fotted-then carried to the
Drake, then to the hackle and
'hen to the distaff on the flax
wheel, where the thread was
Spun-the tow was made into
negro shifting. There were a
great many hatters and shoe
makers IN the country at that
'Ilne-the negro hats were made
Oh wool and fur. There was but
little cotton grown and that
Principally for home consump-
uon, and was picked mostly by
Iand-.perhaps there might
nave been a few hand gins.

Geo. and his boys are having bad luck.
Rush and Oren Winslow have

with broken leg. "WiId Bill' is in

Billy Enz shot his thumb off a few

-Shaffer lost fine young horse

Simon is very busy, has bought
"old Jerry"
john Mahen came near losing his
life day or two ago. He was leading
wild steer when it became crazed and
ran at him. He held it by the horns
until "old Major" (the dog came to
the rescue.
w. H. Norcross found surprise
Il think they call it that sometimes)
on his return from camp meeting.
They named it Harrie, chip off of the

Passing the transept on our way we

Passing the transept on our way we
come to the horses, who does not love
horses? All could be gratified here, 1t
would take half a day to read the
pedigree, as we have desire to avoid
''genealogies" we feasted our eyes on
these splendid creatures without notic-
ing their names, etc. Turning TO the
left along the western end we find ag-
ricultural implements and "Jackson's
Best" but as we do not indulge we
pass rapidly. Nothing of much in
terest is on the west of the Elm
Avenue entrance, while in the centre
we see the "Old Windmill" which
graced Agricultural Hall; how butter
is made, cheese &c. But we have no
need of those things as yet, they come
when necessary without our giving
ourselves any thought and we risk our
ignorance until another Agricultural
Exhibition. There were many other
things good housekeepers would stop
to examine. A perfect safety valve for
coal oil lamps, if it had been some-
thing to prevent lamp chimneys from
exploding (?) we would have invested
for the benefit of some prosecuted
friends. A "self-lasting ,broiler''-I
wish our landlady had one-this one
would broil fish, meat, oysters, CLAIMS,
tomatoes, and just the thing to toast
bread.
A machine for extracting the juices
from fruits and operated like a coffee
mill, another contrivance for cutting
meat, just think, more hash, we don't
wish for any, thank you. Washing
machines, patent coffee pots, new
tangled skirt elevators, and more than
heart could desire to make the good
woman's labor light. AS we reached
the departments of public comfort,
we took seat to wait for some oysters
aud listen to the music. The oysters
were good and the music also. In a
little while the band gave us "Whoa,
Emma" followed by "Grandfather's
Clock" then it stopped short, and we
bade adieu to the State agricultural
show and now to the kind friends who
have accompanied US thus far.

Splendid weather.
Good time to dig potatoes, and
they were never better in this country.
The tannery company will have about
three thousand bushels.
-Phin. Ernhout is just as happy as
a big sunfiower. 1t a girl and Phin.
is as well as could be expected. =
Doctor Ernhout had another run
away Sunday with the Colonel's fam
lily horse. The horse took fright at
some children by the side of the road
and jumped over the bank on steep
dugway, upset the buggy, ran through
the bushes over logs and stumps and
finally brought up in an old tree fence.
The Doctor and the top buggy lay
bottom side up badly demoralized and
now all of them, horse, buggy and the
Doctor are limping about on three
legs.
MoRAL.-Never go out with a fam
lily horse unless the women go along
to drive. for this is the second time
the old reprobate has run off with the
Doctor.
Jake Locke says he will never
vote the Democratic ticket again. He
says as long as they killed. niggers and
Republicans it was all right but when
they go to killing Democrats la
Yazoo, they can count him out. And
now he is hunting for new party the
leaders of which are christian people
and kill only niggers. PETE.

Card of Thanks.

In behalf of nay Church for the
board of stewards and other officials
which I represent as secretary, ex-
tend through this medium, to the
citizens of Ridgway, for their kind
and liberal patronage of our festival,
the hearty and sincere thanks of our
people.
The kindly spirit which was shown
in every household, regardless Of de-
nominational lines, in response to the
inquiries of our soliciting committee is
worthy of highest commendation and
meets in each heart the responsive
glow of fraternal sympathy and love.
May these ties, cemented the more
closely by such festive reunion, con-
tinue to hold all in the bonds of
christian unity and fellowship is the
earnest prayer of your debtors.
