of Charleston, will be found in an
other column. Mr.. Donnally the
able editor is always impartial and
fair in criticising his contempora-

cry, have by mutual consent dissolv-
ed partnership. The wood and coal
ward will hereafter receive the undi-

enterprising business men, the res

We are indebted TO Mr.. Fayette
B. Souders for a bottle of excellent
wine, called the Clinton grape,
manufactured at Charlottesville,

iron properties, which is impaired
to the grape from the soil upon
which it is grown. Mr.. $. also car

imported wines and whiskys in the
lower Shenandoah Valley, and has
long since gained the reputation as
headquarters for first-class goods
and honest, square dealing.

ground. The horse regaining his
feet started off, and Mr.. Watson, not
being able to extricate his foot from
the stirrup, was dragged nearly

caught. We are glad to announce
that Mr.. Watson only sustained a
few bruises and was able to remount
when rescued from his perilous pO-
sition.
