Picnic at Walnut Spring.
YEAR WALNUT SPRINGS, VA.
October 10th. 1879.

NEAR w ALNIT SPRINGS, VA. }
October 10th. 1870.
Mr.. EDITOR:
1t was my good fortune to he pres
ent to-day at Sunday School Pic Mic,
given 10y the friends of the Walnut
Spring School, and as Bristol was not
represented there l will attempt a de-
Scription of the same. Owing TO the
Inclemency of the weather the attend
ance was not large. For awhile it was
thought that no one would he present
To address the school aud friends as
semhled, and many were the anxious
faces turned toward Bristol, hoping to
disrry in the distance the gallant and
courteous Fowler, the warm hearted
friend and genial companion, aud the
ever welcome and ubiquitous J. +. i.
The former always going about doing
good UOr hImself), the latter, long the
tried friend of Sabbath Schools, and
the almost indispensable on all such
occasions. Yes, Mr. Fowler. we
thought of you often, and will not
cease to think of you till after the 2nd
prOXimo, when we trust the goal of
your am bition will have been reached,
when in turn you will remember us.

Dinner being over we repaired To
the church house, where, for the space
Of half all hour, we were most delight
fully entertained by an impromptu
address by the Rev. Mr.. Curtis. He
eXpatiated most beautifully upon the
Importance of Sabbath Schools, and
earnestly impressed upon parents and
teachers the necessity Of Installing III
to the tender minds of their children
correct principles, assuring them that
there was implanted those sentiments
which would regulate their course in
after life.

ABOUT TOBACCO.

! The former Junior Editor OF
this paper, living in mountain
tobacco region and engaged him-
self in its culture, writes ms as fol-
lows:
"You have ne idea Of the value OF
the tobacco crop in this region. Lands
that few years since sold for two dol
lars and fifty cents per acre now COM
mand ten doll. rs or more. We have
All instance of one party paying one
hundred dollars per acre for a steep
southern slope, fit only for tobacco
culture. They are scaIping slopes
that are as steep as Alpine peaks, and
making therefrom $50 to 500 per acre.
No fertilizer is required. though a few
used it last year to advantage"
Our lands here are even better
adapted to the culture of this won
derful staple than those alluded to
above.
We urge on our readers the
great importance CT changing their
policy by adopting the culture of
tobacco. 1t will make this a cash
community ard great tobacco
mart. 1t requires mainly second
and third rate laborcrs, only a
small amount OF land, and even
horse is not necessary III the work.
1t always brings cash, and is easily
hauled to market.

Earthquake.

Our vicinity was visited by ar earth
quake on yesterday morning at about
10 O'Clock. The noise was distinct in
our village, and sounded very much
like distant thunder, but as no Shak-
ing of the earth WAS felt here, no one
became alarmed.
Persons who crossed Wuliin's Ridge
early yesterday, state that a low. rumb~
Eng sound could be heard rs soon a.
they began to descend, upon this side,
and that occasionally the sUuld be-
came SO loud, and the earth trembied
as though heavy timberS were failing
near by. One gent.cm: informs US
that at first he thought some one was
rolling logs down the mountain side,
against Il cliff of rocks, and becoming
approximations Of one CON NC down
upon him, he lost nn time in leaving
the mountain side
Other reports are, that so violent
was the shock .hat the people North
east Of town were very much alarmed,
aud that many fell up0n their marrow
bones, and Justify cried for mercy.
There Is considerable talk in the
neiehborhOod, as 20 the probable
cause Of the unnatural visit ton, and
some arc Of the opinion that some OF
the adjacent peaks old Cumb,r-
land will prove To bc an L IA or

short duration, and We believe all
have again gained their equir .ibiium.
