A Helpful Virginia Girl.

In the family of George Munday, living between Waterford and Wheatland, the father, mother, a son and daughter were all down with the grip, leaving only the youngest daughter, Florence, about 18 years of age, to aid the rest. She attended to the household duties and the sick, and for two or three days fed and curried six horses, fed and milked six cows, and also walked through the snow about a quarter of a mile carrying corn, and when she reached them, feeding it, with straw and fodder, to thirty head of cattle. Having to go to a neighbor to send for a doctor for one of her sick, their condition was discovered, and of course, there was plenty of help afterward. —Richmond Dispatch.
