BRISTOL

The future looks clear. No one for
a moment regards Tyson's itinerant
Injunction. Gen. Malone already has
his money. amounting to about thir
teen millions. I'm his first petition.
Tyson asked that the negotiation fer
the loan be suSl ended. Finding he
was too late he has omitted that feature
from his second petition. 1t will be
seen that Gen. Malone can cover every
mile of the Cumberland Gap location
with hands and finish it in little over
q year. In few days we will have
the details Of the Danville meeting Of
tho n. {; G.. w. II. II. directory. In
view ,of such positive developments,
Bristol presses steadily forward. The
sale of the College lots, on Wednt lay
last was very satisfactory. All of the
seventeen were sold at prices ranging
from $3.50 TO $40; the sale aggregating
about $3,4OO. The greatest sale is yet
10 come. On the 18th of November
the Commissioners appointed will sell
at auction at least 80 lots. These lots
lie between various improved sections
of the town and are very'beautiful and
valuable. If we had money TO spend
i'm town lots we would most unquCs-
tonably spend it on that occasion.

THTE TYSON INJUNCTION.

The withdrawal, on Saturday last q,
of Tyson's application to Judge Bond
for an Injunction, has been followed
Jy n similar application in Judge Rives'
court at Lynclburg. The notice was
served upon the officers of the Va. &
. Il. X. II. Co, i'm LynChburg, on Tues
day last, and the 18th of November
has been fixed upon for its trial i'm that
city. There is something singular and
significant in the want of confidence
exhibited in the fitful and fitting char
acter of the effort to obstruct and If
possible overthrow the accomplish
mcnt Of the most important enterprise
in the State. y foreigner is sought in
order TO pass 10y the State courts TO
reach federal tribunals. Concious Of
defeat these parties abandon Bond for
a spasmOdic clutch at Judge Rives.-
And we are justified i'm the anticipa-
tion that the next and final effort vii.
be an application 10 Grant for martial

in the past and while there is virtue 1
left among the people he will not fear
this base born emanation from few /

COL, a. FULENERSON.

- WiTU singular unanimity, the peO
Of the lower end of Washington Co.
.have asserted their desire that Col
A. Fulkerson should represent them
in the next Legislature, and this de-
sire has been participated in by very
2 large number of people in the upper
end. While it was conceded that
the lower end was entitled to one OF
the-two Representatives, yet there ex-
.s,,sisted in that locality an almost unani-
..g-,, nous wish that the citizens of the
upper end should indicate the partic-
s.--nlar-citizcn in the lower end which
would be most acceptable to them.
Bya hapy coincidence they spared
sSzno pains to make known their prefer
.ence for Gel. Fulkerson, the very man
sj1Fwhom the voters of the lower end
would themselves have named for the
position. There are, however, many
persons who would like to know some
s..y thing of his antecedents calculated TO
~ shadow forth TO them the character of
the man, and indicate, in some de
gree. his position in the future.
Col. Abram Fuikerson was born at
Buffalo Pond. in Washington county,
where his father had likewise been
born and where Re had spent his pre-
vions life in comfortable and afiluent
circumstances. Pccuniary rererseS,

practice Of large portion Of citizens.
l think that | am not saying too much
that yesterday was the nOisitst day for
Christmas that have ever seen in this
city, and have been here since the fall OF
1880. Such reckless Use of firearms was
never seen before on the streets. In pass.

for the police reports 10 see II there has
been any arrests madefor the violation of
the Ordinance which forbils shooting
within the limits Of the city.
In the First Ward a boy was shot while
standing by himself, away from all other
boys, by 100 feet, in the head; and, as
usual, the question will arise: Was any

am inclined TO think that our Public ON.
