WHY JONES Is FOOLISH.

"ouEENs OF GHOST LAND"
There Arc no Witches In Botetourt
County.


EDITOR OF THE TINES: Some time ago
The TINES published lengthy article
on this subject. 1t was illustrated by
portraits (?) of Sallie Fridley, Sallio
Simpson, Ann Hotel and Mrs. Rowland,
the latter of Fincastle. Botetourt county
What induced the writer to mako Mrs
Rowland target for her literary shafts
know not, but the conclusions reached
| and assertions launched are most unjust
to that unfortunate old lady and her
numerous emlnently respectable kins-
people In this section of Virginia.
To tell the truth, not one of tho per-
sons described as witch ever merited
that title. Each one may have been &C.
centric, butshc was in no sense q witch or
bag. Ann Hotel lives near Fincastle
with young husband over whom She
| exercises full control, and ekes out
living by telling fortunes for people
A few may believe she has power to see
into the future, but n great majority
merely permit her to shuttle the cards,
run them over and talk to afford them
an excuse to bestow charity upon her.
She is illiterate and poor, but possesses
tho merit of knowing how to earn liv-
ing without continuous hard work
Mrs. Rowland is the victim Of finan-
cial revcrses and twenty years ago her
mind gave way. She lived alone in q
| big house in Fincastle and the average
small boy and supcrstitious darkey
credited her with holding communica.
ton with ''spools," but sensible people
made charitable allowance for her &c.
centricities and occasional exhibitions
of temper consequent upon worry by
| boys and thoughts OF the luxury Of
past days and the scarcity of the pres
cnt. Her relatives were hurt by the
unwarranted attack upon her in the
public prints, but holds THE TINES
| guiltless.
The author has talent, and there are
hundred subjects she could have
written about without invading the
cherries domicile and life of this old
lady, now verging on four-scorc years,
and irresponsible in the sight OF God or
man for acts and words twisted and
tortured into semblancc OF proof of
witchcraft.
| IL the author of this most remarkable
| production desires prolific themes tho
| old records in the county clerks office
will keep her pen busy many months.
They will bring as much money as
| Queens of Ghost Land, and the satisfac
ton of having entertained without
wounding the living.
