THE LOST FOUND.
Long Search by A F%ayetviIle
Man for n sen Wine Disappeared
During the War.

In tho year, 1868, Alfred II. johnson,
Jr., n son of Mr.. Alfred Ii. johnson, of
this place, then q lad about nine years of
age left his uncle's residence real VIM
chester, aud went of with a man Of the
name Of Heidler, who was a Sergeant in
the Federal army. Mr. johnson was IN
the Confederate army at the time, and
Heidler, who appeared to entertain u fond
ness for the boy, induced the little fellow
to believe that his father had been taken
prisoner aud was thea at Chattanooga.
where he would soon have 40 opportuui-
ty Of seeing him. Mr.. johnson knew
nothing Of his sons departure until the
close Of tb. war, and. as a matter Of
course, was deeply grieved when he learn.
ed the facts. lie OF once set about as
ce~rtaining his whereabouts, but made
slow progress in obtaining information.
Finally, after writing innumerable letters
and following up slowly tho slender clue
he had obtained, he traced the boy to
Dauphin, a town in Pennsylvania, where
Heidler resided. He Immediately wrote
to that individual and obtained a reply.
stating that Alfred had remained with
him ONE time, but finally left and was
then somewhere in the State Of New
York. Ileidler volunteered to make in.
quiries. and evidently did, for he soon
gave Mr.. johnson further intelligence Of
his whereabouts. The anxious father con.
tinued the search with unrem;tting indus.
try and received alternately hopeful and
unsatisfactory intelligence, but utterly
failed to obtain the boys exact address
so as to communicate with him. A few
weeks ago the postmaster at Winchester
received a letter from a person in Biug-
hamton, New York, signing himself "a.
Johnson" making inquiries relative to
the family of MIR. Russey, the boys un'
Gle, which he Immediately turned over to
that gentleman. 1t was evident, in view
Of the writer's questions, that the letter
was from the long lost son, end certain
questions likely to establish his indemnity,
it correctly answered, were p%ropounded
to him through the postmaster, and salts
factory replies received. Mr.. johnson
then communicated with his son from
whom he had heard nothing for eleven
long and weary years. A reply wa'
promptly received, written in clear and
legible style, aud couched in Language
creditable alike 10 the heId and heart o.
the writer.
Alfred, who is ROW twcnty.one years o.
age, wrote that he had long believed hi
father dead, having heard that he Wal
killed during the war, hence his long 81
lence and failure to make inquiries con
corning him. lie inclosed bis photograph

FARM Frs!
We hive bought the right fel

In the construction Of this Fence we
use nothing but rails, save n small
amount Of wire, ut q cost of one cent per
pannel Of the fence, No nails, no planks,
no screws are used. Build u straight
fence, higher than the ordinary ten rail
fence, much stronger, and far more sub
stantial. 1t is stock proof, pigs included.
1t is wind proof, cannot be pushed over
by stock, or blown down by the wind.
Will last. without any repair, many years.
1t is built with only six rails aud . pole
rider per panel. 1t saves half the rails
used in al ordinary worm>feDce, and gives
you a higher. stronger, more durable and
every way better fence. 1t is a straight
fence. No old feuce rows on farms where
this fence is used but economy in land,
as we'll as in timber, are its benefits.
With the use Of this fence every farmer
has rails enough already split aud hauled
in their present worm-fence to %refence
the entire farm with, thus saving the labor
of cutting, splitting, and hauling any
more rails. We have, then. economy in
timber, in labor, in hauling and in land.
and in giving a straight fence, a higher
fence, = more durable fence, a stock
proof fence, and better every way, and
will last for years without the least re.
pair. This fence eau be built nearly as
rapidly as the worm.feBce, for you only
handle half the number of rails, and
when built does not need repair for years.
Farmers! this fencc is what you all
need! 1t is u sure and substantial inns
proyement in rail fences. well worthy your
consideration. You can take a ten rail
worm-fencs down and save rails enough in
fifty pannels Of the old fashioned fence
to pay for the farm right. AT the recent
Convention of the Changers patrons OF
Husbandry,) for the Cotton States, held
at the capitol in Atlanta. the attention OF
that body was respectfully called to this
fence whereGpon, a committee was APP
pointed and reported as follows:
We, the COMMITTEES appointed to ex.
anime the SMITH & OLDS IMPROY.
ED RAIL FENCE, report that we have
performed that duty, and are satisfied
that it is q valuable improvement on the
old worm-fence, in that it can be made al
much less expense snd requires not NOR,
than one half the rails Of an ordinar,
farm fence.
Rights to use this Fence nay be pur
chased at $500, thus bringing il
withinthe ability of all. For further
particulars, inquire in person, or by let

right for the counties named.

Death Of Dr.. LivingssOne,

A despatch from London, on. the 26th
instant, announces the death Of DIR. Liy-
jngstone, the African explorer, Accord
ing to the accounts received by the
English Government, he encountered an
almost impossible swamp while on his
return from the interior Of Africa, in june
last, and that he contracted disease while
crossing ii from which he died. This
celebrated traveller aud author was born
near Glasgow in 1915. A son Of poor
parents, he was placed in cotton factory
at ten years of age, and in the intervals of
his daily labor pursued an extended course
of self instruction. In his 10th year he
conceived the idea of going to China as a
medical missionary, with which object he
attended lectures ON medicine and divinity
at the University Of Glasgow, and was adj
mitted a licentiate Of the faculty Of
physicians Of that city. The breakingout
OF war between Great Britain and China
frustrated his intentions, and he turned
his attention to southern Africa, embark
ing in 1910 for Cape Town. From thence
he proceeded TO the interior, learning
languages aud customs and performing
missionary duty. He started on his first
exploring expedition in June, 1919. He
returned to England In 1856, having
Travelled over not less than ii 900 miles Of
African territory, aud by his astronomical
observations had determined the sites of
places, hills, rivers and lakes, nearly all Of
which had been till then unknown, as well
as described the physical features, china
tolOgy, and geological structure Of the
countries he had explored, aud pointed out
many new sources of commerce He also
propounded his views on the question Of
African civilization by recommending the
growth Of cotton upon an extensive scale
in the interior Of that continent, and the
opening up of commercial relations between
England and the south African tribes as
likely TO put and end to the slave trade.
In March, 1858, he returned TO Africa;
again visited England in July, 1864, and
quilted il finally in April, 1865, In
consequence Of rumors Of his being killed
expeditions have been at various times sent
from England in search of him. IL is
fresh in the public mind that Mr.. Stanley,
New York Herald correspondent, who
had Joined one Of these expeditions,
became inpatient of It's slow movements,
separated from the expedition, and in the
summer of 1872 found him at UjUi, in
the African interior When Stanley left
him he was determined to proceed with
his explorations, aud not TO return home
TIL he had completed the great work of
ascertaiDing the source Of the Nile. His
vast labOn, combining all the researches
and results of his fellow explorers into
harmonious whole, have won brilliant
and lasting reputation for his name.
