There has been great deal of ekckness ir
our village and vicinity but genera not OF
\ serious character. Scarle rlet-feser, Whschs
prevailed here two years ago, has made it,
appearance again. 1t Il, so far, t0f mild
type, and has not yet assumed the character
OF an epidemic. ss:..st -
Two venerable. ladies, anaone tl,o oldae
and most his hly esteemed citizens of ous III
lage, have been removed by death during tbs
winter-Mrs. Mary Taylor, mother ofs Af-
torney.G General Taylor, Of your city, and Mfs.

Among the new enterprises talked Of
among as is a tobacco factory, which, It isre-
ported on good authority, WiilIbeestablbhed
very soon by two Of our ehtefprising edtt-
zens. This is an admirable locality for the
business, aud there can hardly be doubt
.bout its success. The tobacco raised in shis
aud adjoining counties IL, in quantity and
quality, such as to encourage the establish
nent Of q irst-class. mandatory at this
point. rts..
A new first.class hotel is still talked Of, but
that is all; though nothing is more needed,
and nothing would pay better. s.
The Rev. Thomas Brown, OF Abingdon,
,2ent for Southwest Virginia OF the Virginia
Bible Society, addressed the MONTGOMERY
Bible Society In this place on last Sunday
night, and raised handsome sum to 60 aa
! donation to the State Society. II may be
sdded, as matter of general interest, thftt
there is central society with several
branches in this county, for the distribution
Of Bibles. The Central or County Society
has its location here. Its officers for the cur
rent year are the Rev. Daniel Balm, presi-y
dent; Rev. S. &. Cox, d. D., vice-presidenf;;
hr. John Gardner, secretary; and Captain
| Robert Douthat, treasurer. The main de-
| oository of Bibles is in this place. s 80
/ Just here the remark will not be ont Of
| place that some people think that ii the au-
| Shorities of our railroad-the Atlantic, Mis-.
| 'issippi and Ohio-would make their
| schedule or timetable correspond to Exc

rionably it is q burning shame and disgrace
that passenger aud freight trains should be
run on our railways as regularly on Sunday
Is on other days of the week.
Our County Court, which has been In ses-
sion nearly week, has nothing before it Of
special interest. Yesterday negro boy
{Henry Williams) was sentenced to the peni-
Eentiary for one year for an attempt to rob q
store at Christiansburg depot. The boy Is
from Franklin county, and was the tool Of
lccomplices older than himself. .,8.s.s
How do you spell the name of that tribe OF
Indians which whipped Uncle Sans troops
20 badly in California the other day? Is it
Madoc, Medoc, or Modoc2 Is Captain Jack
IN Indian? MONTGOMERY IS
| [Answer: Modoc Is the most approved
style. Captain Jack is an INDIAN EDS.
