ALLARDT ITEMS.

Editor Rugbeian,
As no one seems to be reporting the
new settlement of "Allardt," | have
concluded to do so myself, and will be-
gin with the beginning" vtz,, w. S.
Allen d Co.'S store, which we find a con-
venience in the new settlement, it being
supplied with a good assortment of
general merchandise, groceries, building
supplies, etc. Next we have the board
ing house of G. A. Clarke, where the
comforts of the traveller will be carefully
looked after. Next the saw and single
mill, which so far has been able to
supply settlers with lumber and shingles.
Mr.. J. N. Clarke has his cottage nearly
finished. Mr.. Weber has a dwelling,
quite nice building, SIX rooms, nearly
finished Messrs. Goss, Johnson, and
Bone are getting lumber on their re-
spective lots, and each will soon be
getting up for himself residence, as
will also Mr.. J. W. Wheaton, Mr.
Henry Wheaton and Mr. G. c. Schenck
be doing.
Me. Gernt is expected this week, and
will at once erect a reception house,
where settlers can, if they desire, have
one or two rooms in which to live until
they can provide for themselves dwell
lings. Mr. Gernt will become a perma-
nent resident of this Gland of Promise"
as his family comes with him, and we
are assured that as soon as the family
are housed" his whole attention will
be given to getting settlers here, and
we expect before next fall to see a
"boom" such as was never known in
this section.
Thus far, twenty-seven farms of one
hundred acres each have been sold to
bona tide settlers, and probably before
this reaches you the number will reach
thirty or more. All this as a COM
mencement What shall we expect
with railroad for
Across through Fentress County
BY steam we're bound to go,
The cars will surely come out here
You'll hear the Whistle 5low.
We hope soon to have a post-ofice
as postmaster for Allardt was appointed
last week. This will be quite help.
Then we have to build school and
church house, $3.50 land more votes to
hear from) This finished, will give us
place for meetings of societies, ETC., of
which we have heard quite a number
suggested, such as "Public Purpose
Association" "Total Abstinence Society
(Limited)," "Coon Hunting Club" etc.
The organization of a Sausage Factory
Company" is being discussed, and we
may before long be able to report such
company fully organized. Then get
charter" Then get mashine.
There is millions in it). Really, Mr..
Editor, think We are getting along
finely, considering every one must
work out his own salvation"

The sausage factory scheme, which
our Allardt correspondent informs us is
among the uppermost ideas of the set
tlement, is certainly good one, and we
see no reason why Che "Allardt Brand"
of polonies should not grow into bust
ness with millions in it." The true
German flavor they would necessarily
have, would be great recommends
tion.
As for the "Coon Hunting Society"
we suppose it is an institution for look
ing up stockholders in the proposed
fentress County Railroad.

FRUIT AND GRAPE CULTURE.

This region is especially adapted to fruit
and particularly to the winter apple and the
grape. The apple crop here has never been
known to fail. The trees are healthy and the
fruit smooth, plump, juicy and firm, rarely
ever speaking or rotting. The grape is also a
sure crop where proper varieties are planted.
The vines are robust, and the grapes make
excellent wines, which are in good demand.
These two fruits are destined to become the
great and staple products of the Tableland.
Strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, cur
rams, cherries, plums, and nearly all the small
fruits thrive and bear proli6calv

cover the eggs to keep them from freezing,
and then returned home to read his medical
books until nearly midnight. Soon alter one
O'Clock the girl who was working for Mrs. Ryan
gave an alarm of fire, which quickly brought
all the members of the family to view the
flames consuming the store and its valuable
contents, worth some $4,000. Among the
merchandise were three kegs of gunpowder,
which exploded with terrific noise, and
alarmed she country for long distance
round.

The Wounded Dueltst = HIS Condition
 Much More Serious Than First Re-

 RICHMOND, July 2.-Information was re- ceived here this morning from Lieutenant Governor Lewis residence in Rockingham county, where Mir. Elam was taken after be- ing wounded in his duel on Saturday with R. F. Beirne, that MT. Elam's condition is criti- cal, and that his wound is much more aggra- vated than was at first reported. The ball struck near the right hip, passed inward and downward through the body, and lodged in the left thigh, passing, in it's course. very near the bladder. The bullet was extracted last evening.
 SrAuNroN, July 2.-Mr. Elam's wound ia much more serious than was at first appre- to the residence of MT. Lewis a closer examination disclosed that the ball had entered the right thigh near the junction of the upper third and the lower two-t thirds of the femur. After gtrik- ing the bone it ranged backward and upward through the peritoneum and lodged in the left groin, whence it was extracted. It passed between the uretha and the rectum, lacerating the tissues but not seriously in- turing either organ. There has been no par alysis, and no serious injury to the large ves- sels. The patients spirits are good. He himself discovered where the ball was lodged. It will be remembered that on the field he said that the shot had penetrated both legs. It is apprehended that some foreign sub such as particles of clething and gplinters of bone. The ball, however, was but little bat tered.

 WASHINGTON, July 2.-Treasury officers are of opinion that the present agitation as to the trade dollar will force Congress to take action. No strongersEecommendati can be made by the department to Congress than has been made for number of years. The politicians have been unwilling to discuss the subject, from fear that it might reopen the silver dollar agitation, and that is an issue which some of the managing men desire to keep out of politics until after another presidential election. Tke bulk of this coin age is still thought to be in China and Japan, but it is not understood why so many are now in this country.
 MT. Carlisle allows MT. Randall only sixty votes for the Speakership, while he claims ninety for himself Carlisle's friends are ap- prehensive that Senator Beck may have join ed forces with Blackburn in the interest of the latter's candidacy.

Crooks View of the Indian Troubles,
 DENVER, July 2.-General Crook and Cap noon yesterday, on the way to Washington, by way of Omaha and Chicago. In an inter- view last evening General Crook said: ''The telegraphic report that the hostiles are again on the war-path are absolutely without foundation. In fact, they were glad of an opportunity to surrender, and fully realized that further demonstration by them would be most disastrous. With Mana, Loco and Bonito subdued, and old Juh refugee from his own tribe, further trouble Is impossible. A few aquRws and children only remain out, and they are expected in hourly. Beyond 8 doubt they will bring Charley McComas with them.''
 The General is of firm belief that the Indi- an troubles are settled.
