young colt just tufnsd into a clover held;
we don't expect to ihduige in taneie-foot

the antieipation of good tssiftlaso puts 3
silver lining to the clouds that lower
o'er the obscured beauties and granduer
of che present panorama 81 SKY Land. "
If you viii favor as with your genial

an old fashioned Virginia welcome and
choice bill Of fare. We now have our
HEADQUARTERS at the Yirg.nla House and
could say good deal in its favor. but we
Tx some one else to blow our horn.
We viii say this, however, that the

how ne "fsed" and xesIiaRe net forgot

Our mail is nuw brought from the
depot ton Sleigh and as u dAshes up
our beautiful street to the post Office ey-
cry other vehicle agives it the right Of
way. Itell you, there is nothing slow
about US and we intend to get in the
lead In regard to go-ahead tive-ness
and hold the position in spite of all OBJ
staclee. Roller skating has been inau-
gurated here and we now have more sale
for AEnica, couFt-plaster, mustang fni-
ment, &c. than formerly. Hsou1e of the
skaters would have few tucks taken in
their altitude they would not have SO
far to fall and would save considerably
In wear and tear of anatomy as we'll as
cusszwortl6.
Jim Hickman seemed to be heart brok-
en- because we did not know what his
telegraph Office was for. as We were un-
able to inform you of its object in our
last letter. He tells. US that it is to let
the people know that he has the largest
stock and the cheapest goods in thecoun-
try As he told US we h'smole smile"
and informed James" that he could
reach more people by advertising in
the CITIZEN, aud he seemed to think he
could.
We are glad TO know that your paper
is increasing in popularity here. and
hope your LIST win be doubled ere long.
Yours truly, JOE RoBY.
