Trade.-The time honored adage that "com-
petition is the life of trade" will soon be tested
in our progressive little town. One of the most
prominent improvements now in course of
erection is store house and dwelling by Mr..
David II. Driver for the occupancy of Mr..
William 5. Hanger, young and energetic
merchant who is at present engaged in general
merchandising near Stribling Springs. With
the advantage of two full stocked houses of
mixed merchandise and each striving to induce
trade, we may reasonably expect to make our
purchases at bottom rates. Such result will
be OF great advantage to our community In
the very near future this will be one of the
most important stations on the line of the
Staunton and West Augusta railroad, as the
route indicated from North River gap is along
the base of the mountain to Stribing Springs
via Parnassus to the river. The proposed
route will be natural roadway of moderate
grades to Staunton, and traverse region
rich in TIMBER mineral, cattle and other wealth.
Parnassus then has all the advantages that
will result from being the depot of
large area of country Astounding in resources
as yet undeveloped
Bear Huht-Our townsman. Mr.. Georoe G.
Shuey, has recently received letter from his
relatives, William and son Caleb c. Sbuev in
which they tell of bear hunt they were en-
gagged in that for daring and GOODNESS would
make Davy Crockett jealous. A week ago
they struck bear trail in our back mountains.
and following it up they came to a cave
which bruin had resorted for a rest. After
considerable parleying the father and son
lighted torches and entered the cave. They
had not gone far before they discovered a very
large bear crouched in corner. The only
weapons they were provided with were re-
volver and Ratchet. The son took deliberate
aim and nred, the shot only slightly wound
ing the bear, and just sufficient to put him in
good fighting trim. He made dash at his
assailants who fled for the mouth of the cave
which they reached. The father being the
last to get out, was sliced by the bear, but es-
capped with the loss of his pantaoons. which
weretorn off and few slight abrasions of the
skin. The son handed his revolver to his
fat.er, who turned instantly and by well d-
rected shot, sent ball through the heart of
bruin, killing him instantly. His weight was
four hundred pounds gross.
