Home Again.

About two weeks ago John
Hansel, accompanied by his little
granddaughter, a daughter of
Charles Brandt, and Frank Nc
Clintock, started for Tennesses.
On Saturday evening last he re-
turned home. and on Monday,
being in this place, was cornered
by Sentinel reporter and made
to divulge.
''You see," he said, "we got
down safe and sound and found
the members of The Ohio Camp
well and prospering. There is
now at Newcomb or in that im-
mediate vicinity the following
Hooking county people: T. ii.
Rhodehaver, John Rhodehaver,
Eph Haasel. VIM. Hansel, Isaac
Trowbrldge, VIM. Pullen, Frank
McClintock, aud Will Ferguson.
VIM. Conners and family reside
at Jellico, four miles north of
Newcomb. All well, excepting
Mr. Corners, who is afflicted with
rheumatism. The other persons,
as many Of yonr readers know,
are identified with the lumber
interests of that region.

Elk River Valley and less than |
a hundred miles north of Knox

coal territory and for that reason
is fast becoming a place of i'm

factory, much the same as the
Logan Manufacturing Co.'S place.
though not so large, is located at
this place and crowded to its ut
most capacity. Mr.. Rhodehaver
also runs q corn cracker burr I'm
the factory, and is visited by
mountaineers from eight to ten
miles around. 1t frequently oc-
ours that the demands on the
burr are SO pressing that 1t is run
night and day.

region are we'll located and are
bound TO be successful.
The timber supply is unlimited.
The country is of course. rough,
but the land that is tillable is
irst class. The climate is de-
ightful and the water unsur-
,assed.
During my stay at Newcomb
