MIGHTY fine LETTER
From Away Down In Old
Virginny."
Christie Williams Tells a
Whole Lot. and Tells
ltWell.
In a Letter dS Long aS His
Legs.

IMr. Williams letter Is so sweet
that we want to give it to our readers
''long, drawn OUT" so it will taste the
better. and leave a lingering memory,
SD we have chopped it up into Sec
tions.
GLENDALE, VIRGINIA,
August Z. 1905.
Bro CAsPBELL:-When 1 left
Bellefontaine, you asked me to write
you something for publication in your
paper and promised to do so.
1 expected then that 1 should have
written long ere this, but many things
have conspired to prevent me-chief-
ly my long and severe sickness. Many
days Fm so nervous as to make writ
ing an impossibility: at other times
my hand cramps till can't hold a
pen. Well, when you see the length
of manuscript probably you'll wonder
what l would have done had beer
rightly at myself. Perhaps I'm like
the lazy preacher who on one occa-
sion got of a very long sermon. Ev'
lerybody wondered, till his wife ex
planned that he got to writing and
was too lazy to stop. l am afraid
overdid the matter alittle. Perhaps
undertook to explain too many
things. Possibly, if it's too long fol
one issue you might divide it and Civ.
it to your readers in broken doses
However, if from its length or an,
other cause it is not what you want
you have 1 presume a capaciou'
waste-basket to dump it in. My health
is very poor-no real improvement
can't expect any. A little easie
some days than others, 1 realize tina
my earth work is about done ant
am beginning to long for the peac
and rest of the Heavenly Home.
Remember me to all inquirini
friends, especially the "boys."
Yours in F. G. and L.,

Mr.. EDITOR.

Thinking that description of this
part of the "Old Dominion, given
from the standpoint of one born and
raised in Logan county. Ohio, might
be interesting to some of your read
ers, 1 will endeavor to lay before
them some facts. as they appear to
me after seventeen months residence.
We arrived here March Is, 1902.
We are located fourteen miles
southeast of Richmond, in the same
county, Henrico, which lies along the
left or northeast side of the James
River for more than thirty miles.
We are in the extreme eastern part
of the county. Richmond being near
the center. We are about equally
|distant-four miles-from the James
River on the south, and the Chick
ahominy on the north, and about
|seventy-fve miles from the sea coast
at Fortress Monroe. We are nearly
down to Ocean level, as high tides
show in the James River opposite us.
However, we are considerably above
the water in the river. The James is
navigable for the largest steamboats,
from Richmond down. During Nc
Clellan's 1882 campaign, there was
much hard lighting in this vicinity: a
battle was fought on the farm / now
own-known as the battle of Willis
Church or Nelson's Farm. The next
day, the last battle of that campaign,
was fought at Malvern Hill, four
miles away on the James River. In
plowing this spring, we unearthed a
bayonet and a ramrod, and we find
many bullets.
have never seen the upper part of
this county, but the lower half, ex-
cept along the James River, where
there are some bluffs and some very
ri ch bottom lands, is level or gent
ly undulating plain sloping gradually
toward the Ocean. Along the Chick
ahominy, I am told there are numer-
Gus swamps, some along the James,
and occasionally some small ones, in
the intermediate country. The soil
is grayish, sandy loam-as rule
not very deep, underlaid by a reddish
clay very compact and impervious to
water. In places, generally through
some neglect, or injudicious cultiva-
tion, the soil has been washed away
leaving the red clay exposed. With
the exec ption of these bald spots,
the rich bottom lands, and some
drained swamps, there is great uni
formity or sameness in the soil OF
this part of the country, as to fertili-
ty. 1 do not think these lands were
ever quite equal in fertility, to the
average lands of Logan county, Ohio,
land the same statement may be
truthfully made concerning the lands
in many other parts of our country
and then they have been so misused,
so badly titled, and injudiciously
handled. that it is no wonder that
under the methods of cultivation,
that are still as a rule in vogue,
only moderate crops are produced
think that fully half the land is in
tint ber, consisting of pine-two var
ieties, oak-several varieties, gum
two varieties, white elm, hickory
sycamore, red-cedar, dogwood, sassa.
fras, holly, and some tulip, walnut
beech and soft maple, and in the
swamps, cypress. The pine greatly
predominates- places is almost the
only the kind found. The most abun.
dant variety has a leaf about 81,
