Letter from Virginia.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
This is more of q personal letter
to my friends, but as they are legion,
I take this method of writing them.
Mrs. B. and the children, with Mr..
Julian, arrived safe and sound Wed
nesday, April 5. Quite a number of
people met them-I did too--and We
were driven to parishione1's home
for entertainment. That afternoon,
We were treated to some Virginia
weather, for snow began falling
thick and fast. The next day, our
car of household effects arrived.
They had not been reloaded since
leaving White Rock, and were in
good condition. Though still snow
ins, Friday friends hauled them to
the parsonage-just about as far
from the depot as our former home
and We set up to housekeeping. We
at the same time suffered ~ a pound
ing from our members. Potatoes,
IIrishl ham, chickens and eggs,
butter, pickles, beans, canned goods,
apple butter, rice, -four, lard, etc =,
were left in the pantry. This kind
ness drove off home-sickness. The
parsonage is nice one, on an eleva-
tion overlooking the town. From
my study window up stairs, I can see
range of mountains, some of them
I suppose twenty miles away.
Grain, grass, potatoes Irish cab
bage and buckwheat grow in abund-
apce. Potatoes sell for about 80 or
IS cents a bushel. The country is
limestone, and the mud sticks closer
than money. People are just now
sowing oats. Wheat is beautiful.
People frequently make IS bushels
to the acre, I an told. These are
ore of the names of our parishioners:

Our evening contemporary across
the Congaree, the Record, is evident
ly in error. The Dispatch did not
distort it's article anent the annex.
alton of Brookland. It simply didn't
have to. The Record made a plain
statement to the effect that the Brook
land people, should they decide to
go to Columbis, need not expect to
get fire and police protection in
years and years and years to come,
and these convenieces will only come
after the Brookland people have
paid for them out of their OWE
pocket, and for this privilege they
are required to contribute their pro.
rata share toward the support OF the
municipality of which it will thsn be
an Insignificant part. This was one
OF the contentious OF the Dlspatcn,
that if Brookland should be so unfor-
funate as to be annexed to Columbia,
the town would never enjoy fire pro-
lection, as promised by the Record,
until it paid for it itself and the &C.
acknowledgement of the Record that
such was the case, WAS very crafty
ing to the Dispatch. # the article
of the Record was distorted then
the Record, not the Dispatch, is re-
sponsible.
