Moreover,swhile there are few or no

OF those districts most affected by
tho progressive movement, we arc
bound to confess that we have con.

Speaking generally, we believe
tho Southern boom to be q real
and solid affair. The resources of
coal and iron arc inexhaustible.
The minerals crop out upon the
sides of tho valley and give no
trouble in working, whilst trucks
can bo loaded by gravitation from

however, is that most Of the fura

their supplies of iron ore, coal and

THE FIRST TINE SINCE TIE WAR.
1t seems hardly necessary to say
anything of the history of Gen. B.
Il. Butler, No man in the whole
nation has been more constantly in
the public eye for the last four de-
cadeS than he. AS successful
lawyer and influential politician be.
fore the war, as patriot who was
among tho first to respond to the
country's call at the firing upon
Fort Sumter, as the man who gave
New Orleans the best government
the city ever had, as Commander
of the Army Of the James, as Rep.
resentativein Congress and leading
politician since the war, he has had
public attention attention constant
ly focused upon him. No man in
the country has received more
praise and abuse than his, and no
man has more warm, personal
friends and admirers. Many of the
people of the South have been par.
ticularly bitter against him, and
have tried to make his name the
synonym for all that was detesta.
ble. He is now about to return
good for evil, and heap Goals OF fire
upon the heads OF his dctractors by
great enterprise to help restore
prosperity to the region which suf-
iered so severely from the ravages
of the war. He is at the head of
the great Georgia-Alabama Invest
ment and Development Co, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere in
this paper, which is made up of
capitalists whom he has associated
with himself in a scheme to rebuild
and develop large portions of Dixie.
Early next month he intends to
make tour of the South, visiting
that section for the first time since
the close Of the war-twenty-six
years ago. He will go to New Or
leans, and to all other prominent
points, and survey the field of op-
erations of this company carefully,
to inform himself personally as to
the possibilities OF each locality.
There is something phenomenal in
such a tour by general whose first
visit was sword in hand, but who
nov goes as restorer. Tt will be
watched with great interest by all
sections of the country.-National

The cross,walks that are being

our streets come from. We can
only say that Richlands is the cen

the proper parties will confer with
us we will aid them in starting such
list.
Why don't some one agitate the
school question: AS we have said
before no one thing will tend more
to build up our town than, good

would not only be on ornament to

bad roads seem to be characteristic
of Tazewell county, and as nothing
contributes more to the desirability
of a section than good roads, the
road law, if we have one, should be
enforced, without fear, favor or affec-

meet the public requirements, then
better one should be enacted.

I took s. S. s. after everything else

been awarded to a construction
company, of New York. who have
sub let the first division of twenty.
six miles to james p. Edwards &
Co., of New York. Work will be-
gin on Thursday at Bristol. There
were twenty-six bids on the first
division from all parts of the coun-
try, and it passes almost entirely
through Washington county.
Senators Wolcott, Stewart, Wash
burn and the other Republicans
who voted against the closure rule,
are daily receiving letters from
leading men all over the South,
thanking them for the manly stand
that they took in that matter
Those who have written these
congratulatory letters include some
of the most prominent Democratic
leaders in the South. They reflect
the sentiment of the right-think-
ing people they say, not only of
the South, but of the whole coun-
try, in thanking these independent
Republicans for opposing such an
iniquitous measure as the Force
bill.

for his especial benefit" The negro, who
was in liquor, fired off pistol into the
party, the ball striking p. Rheinhardt
on the right side OF the neck, penctrat-
ing the neck, and narrowly missing
the carotid artery. The direction of the
ball was downward, and after passing
through the neck it lodged just beneath
the skin at the base of the neck, where it
was removed by DR.. {. E. Hilliard very
soon after the occurrance.
The negro was not recognized and
after the shooting ran off.

their visitor and said: 81 just love you,

The children were bountifully remcm-
bered also in the substantials of Christ
mas day. A quantity of good things
were sent in, turkeys, cakes, candies,
nuts. etc., postman came with oranges
and another with package for each.
