JOHN,S LETTER.

The great event of the week In this
staid old town was the coming OF the
ex-rebel spy, Belle Boyd. We well re-
member the name and somewhat OF her
smartness during the dark days OF the
republic, and we had desire to look the
ex-lade over, listen to tho sound OF her
voice and hear her experience, feeling
that Il must be Interesting In the ex-
treme, but sickness In the family and
high wind kept me where ought to be.
Those who heard her claim that she Is
an unusually entertaining speaker and
dellneator. Cy says that he was well
acquainted with Belle, rs he was with
her all through the war. We shall be
Obliged to put that down rs one OF the
pleasant "reminiscences that sometimes
visit those who possess a vivid imagina-
ton. History IL silent on that point
and doesn't mention Cy's name once.
We understand that Belle didn't send for
CIV. Her husband being along she
simply sighed for Cy aud let him pass,
while Cy sighed for the good old times
and let 'er rip.
| have been thinking that, II sufficient
encouragement were given, and u the
local musical talent would assist, !
would FURNISH up a bit, and give two
entertainments for the benefit OF our
two ministers. They are pretty good
"fellers," and their aim Is to benefit this
community. Turn about IL fair play.
Although they are at the head OF sepa-
rate church organizations their object i
the same. We know but little OF church
polity and care less, but have always
supposed that the principal differences
IA that one eats with knife and the
other with fork, 50 to speak. IL God
Almighty doesn't draw the line Just
there we haven't divine call to do 80.
But then, the most OF US do draw IL and
snap It about there. We draw II ridic-
ulously fine and close. Eating the bread
Of life Is fully as important as the hoe'
to say the least.
It adds largely to the value OF our
county papers to move the county
buildings, to tear down and build up,
and to locate here and there with Ink
and intellect. The discussion serves one
good purpose at least, II only II doesn't
Stir up sectionalism and bad blood.
