The queerest loss by high water ever
heard Of in the Pine Greek country,
where disastrous floods are common, was
that of Seley Ferenbaw, OF Kettle Flats,

was damaged 10y the recent floods in
Kettle creek 10 the extent OF seven
bears, large and small. Ferenbaw is
hunter, and he got it into
his head last spring that he could
make good thing 10y raising bears for
the market, the animals to be delivered
alive or dead according to the taste OF
the buyer. Acting on that idea he bent
all his ingenuity as trapper on cap
turing bears alive, and his first prize WAS
an old she-bear and her two Cubs. Feren-
baw had built big log enclosure on the
flats near his cabin and he turned
his bears in il. At different times
since his first capture he added
eleven other bears, young and
old, to his first capture. OF these three
cubs, whose mother he could not get,
died for want OF proper nourishment.

magical development and growth OF the
great southwest region OF Virginia.
Starting from comparative obscurlty and,
psradoxically speaking, poverty in the
midst of boundless wealth, this wonderful
section seems suddenly to have real
lied the existence of its dormant re-
sources, and to have shaken of the le-
thargy which bound its people as Sc
curely as were the rock-ribbed ores in
the bowels OF their native mountains.
But once aroused to a consciousness OF
the wealth which nature had lavished on
Their, and 10 the grand possibilities of
their section, the people OF the South
west speedily proved themselves no lag
CARDS IN the race Tor material progress
and prosperity. They proclaimed their
advantages far and near, and IN
yited immigration and capital to
explore the wealth that lay almost upon

death of cx-Secretary-of-War Belknap.
1t was not at half-msst for the death of
ex-Secretary- of-War Davis some months
AGO. But Secretary Belknap confessed
that he had prostituted his high position
and had sold the offices at his disposal
for money, was impeached, and was IN
dicted 10y a grand jury for bribery
while the personal honor OF Secretary
Davis was never impugned, and when he
was arrested for acknowledging the
sovereignty of his State OF the
war between the States he had to
be discharged, because all he had done
was warranted not only 10y the Constitu-
ton of his State, but also by that OF the
United States. Aud besides, Secretary
Davis, in fact, created the War Depart

before that bill became law Wanna

calling upon the people to buy imme-

gone up. Some grades of cheap shoes,

stages only. When the company is
formed they will acquire capital COM
puted at GA. 600, 900, with which railways,
