Flannels for Winter Wear.

During the Indictment seasons of our
northern and middle ATTITUDES it becomes
the Christian duty of every woman hav-
inc the care of family to see that they
are provided with clothing suitable TO
repel the rigors of our freaky cline,
where often a series of sudden changes
are the only indications that we are hav-
ing settled weather.
To repel the disastrous effects of sud-
den climate changes, there is nothing
more reliable than good flannel UNDER
clothing, not the knit garments which
your merchant sells you for mernO, and
which generally prove to be cotton, but
good, all wool tiannels, which you may
buy by the yard and fashion to your
fancy.
Especially for the old and feeble and
for the weak and delicate of all ages is
flannel necessity.
Physicians recommend flannel for the
chilly season, and some recommend that
light article be worn even in the heat
of summer, but here | would disagree
with them.
The red "medicated" flannel is that
usually recommended by physicians,
and it certainly has rare properties of
imparting warmth and vigor to the body
and preventing against severe and sud-
den attacks of cold.
Mothers, though you may be COM
PEELED to leave the ribbon and the feath-
err in the shop, do not neglect to pro-
vide yourselves and your delicate little
ones with good flannel undercioth1ng
You may save many doctors bills, and
sometimes life itself, by so doing

Your correspondent Rambler in his letter
speaking of "Freedman's Village" perhaps
is not aware that those buildings are owned
by the U. S. government, and rented by
it 10 these colored people; if the rent is
not paid in money, they are obliged to work
il out on the roads around the cemetery and
Fort Myer. They have two churches in the
village, one brick church, built by the COL
ored people; they nave also public school
Of over 100 scholars, employing two teachers
These people are from all parts of the South,
having been brought here during the war,
and some of them, they tell me, are still
hoping they may some day get the forty
acres and a mule promised them when they
left their homes.
The statement in the National RepuJ.
iican of February 4th, is entirely in.
incorrect as to their condition and
numbers there are not half of l. 800
living there; they are not in starving con
,lition, as all who are in need, are supplied
with food by the county, and no one is al
lowed to suffer; there have only been two
deaths there this winter, two small children
who died from natural causes. deem il
but justice TO the citizens Of this county 10
contradict this statement, az the whites are
heavily taxed to educate these people, and
supply the wants oftbose in need
The government pays no taxes and has
never helped in any way to improve the
colored people, providing no means to edu-
cate their children or provide for the needy.
The people themselves take pride in sending
their children to school, keep them well
provided with books. comfortably clothed
and quite neat. There are now in the coun-
ty four colored schools, which run nine and
ten months in the year, the same as the
white, and have ever since the public school
system was adopted in Virginia. B.
