V PAGE EIGHT THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN THURSDAY. JANUARY 15. 113) r' INTERESTING OLDLETTER (Continued from Page One) there in a few days if it has not already commenced. It will be a hard fought battle, because that is the point at which the Lincoln forces aim to make their rush up on Virginia. The opinion here is that if we can beat them at this point Washington City is ours. If they beat .us -badly nq one, can tell the consequences. I hope that the God of battles may save Virginia and then North Carolina from the Vandal horde. The Federal troops are laying waste all the country .around Alexandria, and violating women at the point of the bayonet. It makes my blood chill to think of it. Will riot God avenge the purity and chastity of christian women? But I must cease to pursue this topic further for I cannot bear it. Our Macon Company is here, and will tomorrow go into camp in a grove on the suburbs of the city. As yet they are in an old church. I saw Calvin McCloud and George Angel since sundown. They say Pat Roane is quite sick with Diarrhoea, the boys though are generally well. Troops are coming in here rapidly. I must close. Pres ent my kind regards to all, who may ask kindly after me.

If ""iOME on in, the water's fine." yj Bathing in Japan is on a different plane from ours as these two Ameri can gentlemen can tell you. Tubs are perpendicular there, instead of hori zontal, and you stand in the water up to your neck. But we shouldn't laugh at this somewhat primitive scene, ac cording to Consumers Information, which points out that only a hundred years ago, there were only 1,500 bath tubs in the United States, all of them in Philadelphia, where they had a city water system and taxed each tub $3.00. President Fillmore installed the first tub in the White House t 1850. Advertising of the advantage 1 of convenient and sanitary bathinj started 31 years later, has continue increasingly ever since, and ha: made the United States the cleanesi nation on earth. Even the most ad i vanced European nations are far be hind us in this respect, and the pos session of a bathtub in most countries is a sign not only of opulence but os tentation. The United States is among the few countries generally educated to the knowledge that health and cleanliness go together. ADDITIONAL FRANKLIN SOCIAL ITEMS BALL ON JANUARY 14 WAS GREATLY ENJOYED .
