the talent Of her father, Robert Dale Owen,

lief in Christ as the central figure Of their
faith. The writer then proceeds to give IAN

A Rig Rowan Walnut Tree.
[ From the Salisbury Herald. !

Mr. w. r. Krider called in at the
Herald office Monday, and while here
told us of a very large tree that he had
purchased: and which is the largest
we have heard of. The tree was black
walnut. purchased by Mr.. Krider
from Mr.. Willie Barber, near Cleve-
land, this county. 1t was cut down
last week and the diameter at the
stump, six inches above the ground.
was precisely seven feet. Six hands
were employed in saving down the
tree, and it took them day to finish
the work. After getting his tree down
Mr.. Krider could find no mill in the
country that could saw the huge logs,
nor any log carriage strong enough to
carry them, SO he had to have them
split open before they could be hauled
to mill and sawed. The lumber was
in Salisbury Monday, ready for ship
ment to the North, and had not a bad
spot in it. Mr.. Krider could not tell
us how much lumber his big tree
made, as it was placed with another
lot that WAS being sawed.

ANOTHER VANCE JOKE.
An Anecdote From the Senator's
Sick-Bed.
From the Washington Post.l

From the Washington Post.]
Senator Vance bears his sad affiic.
ton not only calmly, but in absolute
good nature. He says there is no use
in making fuss about such little
thing as having ones eye knocked
out. Taking out one eye is not such
very serious trouble; but the Sena-
ter confesses that the taking out OF
two eyes would have tendency to
discourage fellow. The fact is, the
removal of the Senator's eye has been
under the circumstances, a very hap
py thing for him. The eye has long
been sightless, gave him constant pain
and was standing threat of infam-
nation of the other eye. A week or
two down in the all-healing atmos-
phere of Western North Carolina, in
the Land of the Sky" will set the
Senator all right again to the great
pleasure of his friends; aud that word
includes all wLo ever knew him.
Concerning the health giving prop
critics of this section of the "Old North
State just mentioned, Senator Vance
gave an Illustration the other day
from an incident that occurred before
the war
When he was candidate for elec-
tion to the Seth Congress, and was
making his mountain canvass on horse
back, he was passing along a dug out
road one day upon the side of Black
Mountain. He stopped to rest and
refresh himself at spring by the
roadside. The spring was more a
matter of conventionality than of use,
for the refreshments were generally
carried along in pocket or were con-
veyed in stone jug with corn cob
stopper, hung on the saddle pommel.
An old mountaineer approached him,
carrying a rifle of the revolutionary
pattern on his shoulder.
"Hello!" said the Congressional as
pirant to the old man, show long
have you been living in these parts p
"Well, stranger, said he, Il came
here upwards of sixty years ago from
Skowhegan, in the State of Maine, to
die Of consumption, and here am to-
day as hearty as l was in Maine TWEEN.
ty years of age"
"How old are you now?" asked
Mr.. Vance.
81 will be 81 years old next No
vember. | have raised ten boys all
of them grown up and all of them
married and got children, and some
of 'em grand children. l have raised
five as strong and hearty girls as there
is in North Carolina or was ever rails
ed in these mountains. There hasn'l
been a doctor i'll the family for forty
years, | came here alone, but now
including the old woman, who is alive
and hearty, there are 81 of us in the
family, and we have never had death
or case of unnatural sickness. II
the last forty years there hasn't beer
but six deaths in the county. One OF
them was bitten by rattle snake, a
bee tree fell ON one, another got upse
in a mountain stream and was drown
ed and the other three natch'ly dice
of old age"
1t is such a country as this and OF
Black Mountain that Senntor Vanc,
has his country home. 1t is to b.
hoped that there he will take new
lease of life, although be can only g
one eye on it now, and live as long a
