The Valley of Virginia.

IL appears to be almost the universal
opinion of tourists and other strangers
passing through this valley that for beau
Nv of scenery, fertility of soil. and for al
ysntages of climate our region IS unsur-
passed any where In the world. It's agri-
cultural resources are unriyalled. We be-
lieye. for instance, that the farmers OF this
county, in point OF solyency aud general
pecuniary condition, would compare
fayorably with any in our country. They
have the great aud enduring virtues OF ell
desirable agricultural communities-pa-
triotism, integrity. humane social feeling.
self-denial, economy and industry, and
Winchester is worthy to DO the county
city of such county.
IL cannot be denied that agricultural
interests are everywhere depressed. ana
that our region, TO some extent, has shared
in the losses resulting from low prices OF
grain which must ultimately affect every
other interest in the country. But no agri-
cultural region is holding its own better
than ours-not even the great and boosted
West which is now suffering so greatly
from crushing mortgages. whilst our farm
ers are generally out of debt. In the present
status of affairs that is the best that could
be hoped for The world is liable to
periods of profound pscuniary depression
as well as periods of great prosperity. III
is most creditable 20 our people OF city
and county at this time that they are so
generally free from debt. Ii is not strange,
therefore, that we should SEQ farmers from
tue West and Northwest seeking farms IN
our State and section. We feel that we
have great reason to be proud OF Winches-
ter and old Frederick county.

A SOUTHERN HISTORY.

Confederate Veterans.

June 30. 1893
To n, Editor OF he Dispdtch


To ne Editor Of ne Dispatch :
Since the adjournment Of the Grand
Camp OF Confederate Veterans in Ports
month on the 18th instant have been
asked land also received seyera! letters.
"What was done about southern histo-
ryin The great interest manifested
throughout our State on the history
question is my apology for this article.
The History Committee made report to
the Grand Camp and after giving IN full
the work done by the committee 1t made
the following recommendations, which
we're unanimously adopted-viz.
1. Resolred By TIE Grand Camp. Of Con-
Iederdfe Veterans Of Virginia. That the
question of southern history (after
caring for our needy and wounded COM
rades) is the sll-absorbing one for the Con-
fsderate Veterans to consider. and every
effort should be used for the accomplish
ment of the work until we are successful:
2. That we cannot hope to be successful
in working only in Virginia, but We are
satisfied the Virginia Confederate Vete-
rams must unite, WORK, and cooperate
with the United Confederate. Veterans
aud keen in touch with the whole South;
therefore, we cordially and heartily endorse
the move made by the United Confede-
rate Veterans in appointing q -" history
committee" and hope the Virginia CON-
mittee and the United Confederate Vete-
rams committee will confer and CO.
operate and bring TO the South the long
felt want-"A true history from start to
finish"
3. That the Superintendent Of Public In
struction of Virginia be requested to use
bis influence to exclude from our public
schools the most Objectionable histories
now used until the southern history can
be written. =,
4. We hope the manuscripts Of r; IL.
Howison. ESQ.,. and Mrs. Susan p. Lee,
both of Virginia, and Hon. j. II. Shinp, of
Arkansas, will be ready for the considera..
ton by the history committees OF United
Confederate Veterans and Grand Camp OF
Virginia at their conference. which, we
hope. will take place in Birmingham. Ala
on July IL, 1893.
The Virginia committee hopsto be In
birmingham on the 18th of July snd meet
with the committee of United Confederate
Veterans. hope to be in Birmingham O:
a member also of the committee OF United
Confederate Veterans. After our meeting
on July 18th in Birmingham will give &c
the pubhc the results of our deliberations
The Confederate Veterans, backed by
united South. will succeed.

Please give in your Sundays paper the
rule for gauging barrels aud state what
protection the retail merchant has il the
gauge OF barrels of oil and molssses.
INQUIRER.
The rule for eaugine under the city or
dinauce is 20 find ont by measurement of
the inside of the package It's capacity and
subtract the outs. For instance. if the
City Gauger finds the capacity of barrel
Is 6fty-slx gallons and it Is short in con-
tents two gallons he will mark 1t 5G-2=54.
in the oil packages the gsuger applies the
IRE test. and If the goods do not come up
20 tho standard, marks the package con-
denned. IL q dealer thinks ne has
been charged for more oil. vinegar, whis-
tcy, molassss, or what not, than he has
received he can send for the gauger and
have the package measured.

OAK TREE, VA, June oU' 1850.
To the Editor Of he Dispatch
noticed in the DISPATCH a report OF the
appointment of teachers IN the city
schools.
Those teachers can now enjoy their holi-
day, knowing that their situations TOR the
coming year are secured.
Not so the teachers of the country pub
lie schools. They have the fact staring
them in the face all summer that they
must wait until the last moment before
the opening of school for examination,
and then perhaps they fail from some
cause to obtain the coveted school.
II at the expiration of one term they
could be examined and appointed for the
next term they could then, in case OF fail
ure to obtain q school, arrange for other
employment without loss of time.

Hedges for shady Places.
fHxh.,ya rfD.fhfw

II is often desirable to have hedges
along lines where large trees are already
growing, Evergreens are wholly an-
fitted Tor these situations; only de-
ciduous shrubs can be employed. Among
the best of these are the various yari-
cites of privet. They stand dry ground
better than almost anything else. Ii IS
not so much the shade which Injuries the
hedges IN these situations as it is the dry
ing Of tae ground by the roots OF the
amount of moisture TRANSPORTING from
thousands Of leaves of trees. We can
readily see how dry the ground must be
which has to supply this moisture. But
those who have practical experiences un.
derstand this without even thought OF
the philosophy involved.
