Wise County on "a Boom.


WISE {. H., August l2.-For the last

and the farmers have taken the advan-
tage Of it in securing their oats and
grass. Our county is fast coming to
the front. At the city Of Big Stone
Gap, this county, there are about 800
laborers at work at different occupa-
lions necessary in building up a new
city. 1t is eighteen miles southwest
from the Courthouse. 1t is shortly ex-
pected to be a railroad centre.
There is also a city being laid off in
the southeastern part Of this county.
twenty miles from the Courthouse.
called st. Paul. Lots are having a good
sale. and there is certainly good
chance for capital seeking investment.
1t has the advantage Of fine location,
and the surroundings are all that could
be wished for to make a city.
There are a great many hands now
working on tn three railroads in this
county, which makes business quite
lively.
A great deal of capital is being in
vested in timber and the different min
erals of this county, of which this
county Is very rich.

on THE sKIRMIsH LIST.

The platform is all that we need. for
it is fort made with bastion and bar
bette with moat and Ranking towers
and citidel aud magazines, but the
Virginia Democracy does not propose to
fight defensive battle.
We wish TO dare the enemy to the
open field and show them that the
American people recognize those funda-
mental principles that the true Demo-
cracy fights 10 maintain, and we
wish TO act as men knowing
that they have the right and
that it is our duty TO as
sault the false and dangerous doc
trines of the Republican party, dan
gerous to the spirit OF freedom, illog-
zeal. totally unpatriotic, tyranical and
aristocratic, and given totally to class
privilege and high taxation for the
benefit Of monopoly.
We do not wish to defend one single
point that we hold, for all these points
held by the Democracy represent the
safety and the principles Of the peoples
rights established by the charter Of the
Declaration Of independence. We
will explain to the people
the falacies and the monstrous
prevaricatiOns and colossal lies Of the
Republican party that would make
Baron Munchausen's ghost stalk abroad
to scare the superior ability of the Vir-
ginia Mahoge Radicals in that line, and
cause the bones Of Annanias to rattle
in his grave.
We call the Malone prevaricators of
high and low degree before the court
Of popular opinion, and we want to
know whether the State of Virginia.
in her hard TRIALS, past and present, can
be any better off for the sale Of the
100, 900 negroes hired out to the pro
posed Receiver General Of Spells. Gen
eral Billy Malone, Deputy Boss, Quay
and Dudley, commanding.
The platform is good as we have
said it is in fact. But we wish to see
the Democracy of Virginia charge the
centre of the enemy's line, with the
spirit and courage that signalizes a
good cause, with such an onset as shall
leave the thieves nothing but the per
quisites that they can get from the
corrupt power Of the Federal Republi-
can Administration.
This is the way to win the battle, and
every speaker and candidate and editor
in Virginia ought to know 1t.
The platform can carry 10000 ma
jority.

INDEPENDENCE, VA, August IL The
grand jury empanelIed by the County
Court last week returned eighty-two
indictments. mostly mlsdemeanors and
for carrying concealed weapons, selling
liquor without license. &c. 1t seems
that the practice Of carrying concealed
weapons is on the increase. especially
among the BOYS and lower classes gene
rally. RazOrs are frequently resorted
TO by the brother in black as a wea-
pon Of defense. Our officers cannot
guard against this constant breach
o. the law with too great care.
It not only causes scores OF muir
ders that never would be committed
we're it not for the dangerous weapons
carried by the people, but it eDgenders
a spirit of defiance Of the law very un-
wholesome to the welfare of any State
or people.
Owing TO the great misfortune Of get
ting our school building burned down
last spring we will have no graded
school here this winter. This is the
second school house burned IN indie
rendence. aud fear it will be a long

reported to be just splendid. Some
