In the middle Of The night we were
aroused at Salisbury and found our
selves Oh the sandy elluviul plain with
mercury at 9S9.
The eastern part Of North Carolina
is level and sandy from here TO the
Great Dismal Swamp and the Atlantic.
This place derives its name from the
city of Salisbury, England. 1t is of
Saxon origin meaning drytown. The
population is 1900. | found little of
interest here, excepting visit to the
old Confederate prison pen which at
one time held over 90, 900 Federal pris-
oners. This of course aroused my 10y
atty to a degree akin to old Fahren-
heit's at that time. Little of the prison
now remains, but the cemetery with
its 1900 nameless graves still tells its
fearful story and makes a dreary scene

GRANNY.

Jnly pa camping out party from
Lunenburgh spent several fine days at
Cow Mountain Pond recently.
Miss Luvia a. Ford closed her school
in District No. : last Thursday. In
proof that the district appreciate her
labors they will, we understand, pay
her the higher wages asked in order to
retain her services. Miss Eta Shores
was not absent from school u single
day, and several others did nearly as
we'll. Twenty'one scholars have at
tended school from the district, and
the daily average was upwards of IS.
Miss Ford has the rare ability to gain
and keep the respect of admiration of
her pupils.
The sky was cloudless on the night
of the eclipse and the moon shone
brightly until about II o'clock, when
dark, coppery clouds began to steal
over her fair face, and in an hour
she seemed changed into dull,
dark body which gave no light. For
time it remained like this; mean
while clouds gathered and we looked
in vain for the returning light, but we
knew it would come for not like the
ancients did we think she was de-
stroyed.
| Miss Elsie Reuter- died at the home
of her father July IS. For months she
had been great sufferer and some.
times wished for death. The funeral
took place next day when she was laid
by the side of two of her fatherss fam
lily. Rev. j. G. Wright conducted the
funeral exercise. 1t was peculiarly
pleasant to hear of the love of Jesus
and the hope of resurrection on thi,
occasion.
The friends of Mrs. Charles A. Wells
received kilograms that she had be

any of them reached her before she
died, but we hope her husband did
Her body was brought to East st
Johnsbury on Saturday last and she
was buried there on Sunday. She haG

Haying is progressing finely
To the Editor of the HERALD.

10 the Editor or the HERALD.
As one rides through the Potomac
Valley and out among the Virginian
hills, tits no imagination that touches
all the scene with Shade so deep that
even these superlatiye summer days
cannot relieve it. The Federals Sleep
ing at Arlington and the Confederates
at Manassas, and both in the long, long
trenches through these fields seem to
say so ye living do you realize the
cost of every prize which freedom holds
precious"
At what a price do we now enjoy the
peace Of God resting on these gree
hiilsides so lately crimsoned by human
blood These shattered pines and
deep burrows and even the very silence
which reigns above them are eloquent
tributes to our lands beloved, and
make us ask how can we too thorough
ly prove that they died not in vain.
While talking with an old Confederate

"My friend, this green slope never can
be pleasant picture to me though /
have lived beside it nearly q score of
years. 1t was something like such a
June day as this when the battle be
gan out there which in my mind dis
played such a combination of valor on
the part Of the soldiers and such blum
ders and misconceptions on the part
of the officers as was not known again
during the war.
"When we had gained a victory
which | knew would send o. thrill of
grief through the North and would set
the bells ringing at home where my
companion, left on the field during
that fight, had played with Inc in
childhood, my heart sank even in the
moment of triumph and first realized
what misery this civil war would
create. And for all it cost there seem
ed but little practical value in this
battle of Manassas to either side"
The veteran was one of the workmen
building wall of red sand stone
around the burial ground of the Con
federate dead, and as | walked along

and wondered if he like myself was

that this ground should burn under

pavements are of stone, flattened and

street crossings of same material set up
edgewise to keep one out of the mud
and dust, for one is about as deep and
disagreeable as the other, and they
say one is very prompt in coming on
duty Immediately the other is off.
The stores are of brick, low and uni
formly dirty. There are but few
nice residences, and hardly lawn in
the city, but it looks as if there might
