Another officer Of the Rerolution.- Died
at the residence of Capt. John Evans,
near this place, on Sunday evening
last, Col. JOHN EVANS, aged 81 wears.
Col. Evans was born in Berkeley, and
removed to this county, and settled
upon the farm on which he died, near
10 years ago. He was appointed Clerk
OF the Court in 179O-after having
served as a member Of the Convention
that formed the first Constitution of
the State-and held the office of Clerk
until his resignation in 1907. During
the War of the Revolution, he com.
manded regiment of militia in Min.
tosh 5 campaign-he served under Gen.
Washington previous to the Revolu.
ton, in an expedition ordered against
the Indians, by Lord Dunmore.-Col.
Evans led an active and enterprising
life, and probably did as much in fur.
thering the settlement of this part of
the country, as any man who ever
emlgrated to it. He was the steadCast
and uniform friend Of all the early
settlers; and by his example, was of
great advantage in the settlement Of n
new country. Few men have left so
large a family Of sons and their de.
scendants.--lnonongaha Farmer.

the bugle sounded to bring up the
horses; the little riders, three smart
looking boys, paraded in front OF the
starting pavilion, to hear orders and
listen to the established rules-hav-

nags were then brought forth, sleek,
smooth, and shining-Trihe, Shark,
and Alice Grey. | took a stroll a.
mong the knowing ones to hear how
bets were going on, and found in a
few moments that our southern friends
were wide awake. TrAe was the ge-
neral favorite, and bets were freely
taken as Shark maintained a high re-
putation also; but when the field was
CLEANED, bets were then offered Trife
against the field; which was an offer
too tempting not to take. So our
northern friends opened their wallets
freely, and the safety fund notes circu-
lated in abundance.
By the tap of the drum the horses
started perfectly fair; the rider of
Alice Grey in scarlet, Of Shark in
navy blue, and Of Trife finely form.
ed lad and superior rider, ir n sky
blue silk jacket. Shark took the lead,
Trihe followed close, Alice no great
distance behind-all seemed to hold in
hard. The second mile, Shark still
ahead-odds rather in favor Of Shark;
a Johnny Raw near me, "one hundred
dollars on Shark" 81 take" says a
tall quiet man, next to me, thrusting
a cut of old Virginia in his mouth.
The stakes were held by a neighbor.
On the third mile Trife shot ahead of
Shark with perfect ease, and kept
ahead, coming in the winner, and in
no way distressed. Time, I'm. SIS.
Stocks rose considerably on Trfle,
and in a half hour the nags were
ready for second heat. Alice Grey
led off and kept ahead, showing that
she was clever creature; on the third
round Trifle, with great ease, passed
them all, and won the purse, Shark
appearing distressed, and to my mind
rather i'll.
The racing was good; Shark and
Trife are both fine nags, but on the
whole, the affair was much inferior in
character and interest to the great
Eclipse race.
One word to the Club. They must
raise the wind and build splendid
Pavilion, in order that suitable accom-
modationa may be had for the ladies',
where they can dine in comfortable
manner. Very few were on the ground.
This Course is becoming popular, and
will be sustained. 1t is necessary that
it may be got up in more style. No
accident as we learn happened.

DESTRUCTIVE HAIL STORM.

On Wednesday evening last & portion
OF our county was visited by storm Of
wind and hail more extensive and de
structive in its progress than any storm Of
the like kind within the memory Of our
Oldest citizens. Between . and O'Clock
the sky in the North and East assumed a
dark and threatening aspect; distinct mas
SEES OF black and angry clouds wh'r'i and
tossed by counter currents cr N' t .vore
seen in every direction .h
where a serene llue II teyai cd H.
about 90 or so minutes hey cnngregated
near the western end Of jump Mountain,
where they commenced dischal ging their
contents Of hail. immediately a North
wester sprang up, which diffused and
drove the clouds down Carr's creek, the
southern border passing nearly over this
place, and extending in breadth TO the
neighborhood Of Timber-ridge church, a
distance of six miles. The cloud contin-
ued its progress down the North river and
across the upper part of Timber. ridge to
The South mountain, ravaging district
oil country of about Is miles in length and
6 in breadth.
We have conversed with a number of
highly respectable citizens from the re-
glon Of this storm, who give most melan
choly accounts Of the injury which has re.
suited from il. The crops ofrye are said
TO be totally destroyed-so that in place
of preserving them for the sickle. they
have been given up TO the beasts of the
field. The wheat crops are not so fatally
lnjured-but in very many places have
been abandoned, and stock turned in up
on them. The corn crops have also suf-
Tered very severely. Several farmers
have told us that they have seen large
fields OF grain with fewer stalks st anding
than is sometimes observed after reaping
IN harvest, and that the stalks are not
barely beaten down, but are scattered and
broken. Numerous other minor injuries
have been sustained in broken windows.
to the fruit trees, SC.
The general size of the hail. except
near the borders of the cloud is described
to have been as large as hens eggs<many
OF them much larger-some measuring s
and inches in circumference. We hone
to be able TO give further and more min.
ute particulars next week.
