In one section of the county there is a real estate agent who should be having pangs of conscience. He got two city-sick females down into Rappahannock during the season when the foliage is so beautiful that it’s unbelievable and during a most unseasonably hot spell for the last of October. That real estate agent (he oughta’ foe ashamed!) showed the two unsuspecting ladies one of the . loveliest hunks of mountainside in the county, and sent them back to the unglamorous city with their dreams in the clouds of Rappahannoelj. Did he betha* to tell» those two ladies that the weather is not like this warm spell on every last week in October? Did he make aspecial effort to impress upon the poor city-gals that the winds may whistle raw around those presently gorgeous hills? Did that real estate broker go out of his way to let the little ladies know that all the world and days could not compare with the particular day they signed the purchase agreement? Those are the $64 questions. You answer ’em!
P.S.—We shall soon have two new lady citizens in Rappahannock.
P.P.S.—They used to live in the city.
