CORRESPONDENCE.
HAY FORK, Oct. 9TH, 1876.


EDITOR JOURNAL = Since our last
communication, Hay Fork has been quite
lively. Picnic excursions. social gath
orings and dancing parties have " follow
ed fast and followed faster" and
" In many mansion the tarers glowcd,
The dancers reeled, and the red wine flowed {;
And manly tongues into BEAUTIES ears,
Tol the same old story that knows no years"
A few weeks ago our school spent day
very pleasantly at the Natural Bridge,
wandering through the subterranean cav
erns viewing natures handiwork. A visit
to this place is we'll worth ones while
TO one fond Of studying into nature the
Bridge and Cave offer many attractions,
and present a vast theme for conempla-
tion. As one follows the various wind
ings of the cave, torch in hand, sees the
s'alactites that gl>ten before his light
like so many diamonds as he stands under
the long arch, through which the dashing
fonming waters pass, or climbs to the top
and gazes upon the massive bridge, not
made by human hand, he is lost in won
derment asks himself how they came
there why they were placed there alone ?
and wonders how many years they have
stood the storms.
Oar harvest is over and threshing done.
The grain crop was onya shadow OF
former years, there being but 5000 bush
els this year against 14,000 bushels last
season.
This valley was visited Friday and Sat
urdsy Of last week with two of the hard
est hail and rain storms ever known in
this section of the county. 1t hailed
quite hard for fifteen minutes and the rain
fell in torrents for more than two hours,
reminding one very much Of those old
fas honcd thunder-storms so oft occurring
in the Eastern States.
The miners are now busy getting their
picks sharpened and everything in readi-
ness to go to work at the first approach OF
the mining season. From present pros
poets there will be more mining done here
this Winter than was done last season.
During the July vacation the Trustees
of this District fitted our school-ro with
twenty " Gem Desks" purchased from
A. Roman q Co. These are a great i'm
provement OH the old board desks which
are fast going out of use, and the new
ones add much to the looks Of the school
room as we'll as to the comfort Of teacher
and scholars. Although Hay Fork is
considered tout Of the world" we can
boast the best school furniture in Trinity
County, and as good as any in the State.
Politics are du here. We are waiting
for " Boss to come home.

THE DIGGERoPERAICs.- Weaverville
and other places have been entC rtained
du ing the past week by a series Of In
dim dances. The principal performers
were from the Yuka tribe, who live be
yonl Kettenchow, and the style OF dane
ing very unlike that Of the Trinity Win
toons. The troupe commenced dancing
a: Hay Fork, then came over to June
tion, where it remained four nights, then
up the river to Douglas City and from
there to this place. All the "Iapi,oo"
were required to pay an admission fee of
half dollar, proof that Mr. Indian i
becoming civilized, in one respect ut
least. Quite number of the pale faces
paid their fee nad went in, and we guess
we're as well satisfied as with the gener-
H. t. of travelling "shows."

TOWN AND COUNTY.

COMMITTED SUICIDE.-Rudolph Boch,
an old time resident of this county, and
one wel-remembered by many of our
present citizens, committed suicide IN
San Francisco on Friday of last week, by
shooting himself with large Colts re-
yolver. Sickness and extreme poverty
arc the reasons assigned for the act. The
deceased left wife and three childfcn.-
The following note was found in the
pocket OF his coat 4:
OCTOBER G, 1876.
I cannot suffer in this dreadful man
ner. My strength is completely gone.
l have endured it patiently for twelve
long months, without any signs Of i'm
provement. Another cline would prob
ably have been better for me, but | was
unable to change my habitation. Those
who could help me, would not ; while
tho 0 who would, could not. Many havo
said to me !: "Oh, do not fret we will
do something for you only wait" SO
from week to week, and from month to
month, have l fingered, suffering untold
and irrepresslble pain. | must now go.
God protect my poor wife and children.
l cannot assist and will not be burden
to them. Begging the Pioneer Society
to bury my remains from their hall, and
forgive the trouble | cause, / bid my
dear wife and babes, and friends, last
and fond good by.

To Shake, or not TO Shake.

Aye, that is the question. Is it better
to quivcr from head to foot in the parox
ysms Of fever and ague, or to Danish the
atroeious disease by course of that
standard antiiebrile remedy, Hostetter's
Bltters. There caunot be much doubt
as to the response OF the malaria stricken
to this inquiry. From every locality on
this continent whose inhabitants are tor
mented with the shivering plague comes
an increasing demand for the only genu-
inc preventive and eradicart of malaria
provided by science. The denizens of
fever and ague districts well know how
utterly inadequate to do more than give
a brief respite are the so-caled remedies
of the faculty. Quinine, arsenic, bismuth
what are these but poisonous palllatives
which cease after time to produce any
beneficial effect whatever, and if persist
ed in wreak irreparable mischief up in
the system Everywhere they are be-
ing abandoned by intelligent persons,
and that genuine vegetable specific for
intermittent and remttent disease, Hos
letters Bitters, substituted in their
place.

Editor Hawkins County Department
ROtherwOOd, in Hawkins county, To-
Gated on the North-fork and near its
confluence with the South-fork of Hol
ston river, was in former and better days
noted for its fine water-pOwer and extern
sive cotton mandatory. Whether or
not it was profitable to manufacture
spun cotton where the raw material had
to be transported so far by wagons is
matter of conjecture, but it was carried
on for many years by the proprietor who
was n generous and good man, and gave
employment to many poor girls who
could not otherwise have made a COM
Portable subsistence. Now, instead of
the spinnel only, looms, carding ma
chimes, Touring and saw mills are at
tached and in the hands of Mr.. n F.
Jordan genteel man, of practical bust
ness qualifications who has built up a
trade i'll a few years, second to no other
mandatory of it's kind in East Tcnnes-
see. The proprietor has recently made
quite an addition to the water-pOwer
in the purchase of two Turbine Water
Wheels, manufactured in Ohio at a cost
to him of sixteen hundred dollars each.
Each wheel runs with force equal to
eighteen horsepower, and is sufficient
to run successfully the machinery of the
whole establishment. Mr.. Jordan has
met with merited success in this enter
prise; his goods wherever introduced
and their superiority tested by wearing,
secures to him customers who patroniZe
and appreciate man who understands
his business. His wooden goods con-
sfsts of cassimeres, casinets and flannels,
any shade or color, plain checked and
plaid linsys, jeans, bed blankets, etc.
These goods are all manufactured of
good material and after going through
the fulIing process under his own eve,
will not shrink, and certainly arc the
most economical fabric that Gun be pro-
cured for men, women or childrens
clothing. He also cards and spins wool
for his customers lat u stated price or on
the Sbares) on an extensive scale. In
evidence of the fact a visit to the fac
tory almost any day, you will see, wag-
ons, hOrsemen, and foOtmen from Haw
kins, Sullivan, Greene, Washington and
other counties in East Tennessee, as
well as from Washington, Scott and
Lee, Virginia, laden with packs of wool
to sell, exchange for goods, or cardcd
and spun. At first his trade was con-
fined to his own Immediate vicinity, but
now orders for his goods are received
from cambridge, Knoxville, Athens,
and various other distan; points. In the
milling department, he makes the best
brands of flour. There is nothing like
growing into thing" from ''small
beginning" So
