A. r. Jones. ST. Just, Va, noticed In a
recent issue a letter from some one in Virginia
which, in order 10 do justice to the exrebes Of
his section, needs little supplement. Comrade
Jones says: :" came here from New Jersey
five years ago. and have found the N!rginians |
kind courteous and hOspitable. j have found |
the Johnnies TO be especially nice. Within |
sight ofmy house are eight houses, seven Of
them owned by exConfederate soldiers. Three |
Of them own farms that join mine aud better |
neighbors / have never found. Not one word |
Of bitterness have / heard in the five years, /
unless we except tho bitterness and contempt |
which they frequently express towards JEFF |
Davis. We have good SOIL cheap land, short |
Winters no mosquitoes, no malaria, and the !
best Of neighbors who do all they can % make /
it pleasant for Northern people. The soil Of
this Piedmont section is especially adapted TO
grass aud grain. Improved farms may be
bought for from so to $40 por acre; unim-
proved from So to - per acre"
