1t Once Stood ON yienna,s Site.

English visitors TO Vienna will perhaps
remember curiosity shown them on the
Graben. near st. Stephens, the Stock i'm
Eisen. 1t is n knotted tree, said to be the
last ash cut down in the Vienna forest
w1en 1t covered the ground on which the
Oldest part of the city now stands. 1t was
once the custom of every smith and lock-
smith OF the city at the end Of his appren-
tlceshlp to drive one nail into the trunk,
and. in case of the locksmiths, tic try to open
the paddock which hung from the iron band
round the middle of the trunk. In the
course OF centuries the tree was studded
with nails from top to bottom so thickly
that at last it was declared Impossible to
insert another nail. This covering of Iron
gave the trunk great durability. The old
houses which stood on this spot have been
purchased by an insurance company. and
an enormous building of five stories, sur
mounted by cupola. darkens the Graben.
The other day the old Stock i'm Eisen was
taken away aud deposited in safety in cor
ner OF the new building. where niche has
been reserved for it. A handsome iron gate
will be erected in front of it.-Galignan.

Advances In the race OF progress.
Called the Saratoga of tho South. In
dustries nearing completion and con-
templated. Its churches and schools.
Tho scenery surrounding magnificent.
Wytheville's boom is attracting the
attention of the country.
Wythe county is noted Tor it's blue
grass and fine herds and rich agricult-
ural area. 1t embodies the mountain
scenery and climate and fine mineral
waters of Asheville, n. c., with iron
and coal vastly superior to Birmingham,
in the midst of an agricultural soil uni
versally superior to either. Located
upon the Norfolk and Western railroad,
half way between Roanoke and Bristol,
the former OF which is situated upon
the eastern border and the latter the
western border of the great upland
mineral basin known as Southwest Vir-
GINA. The proposed Virginia and Ken
lucky railroad, on which work will be-
gin soon, crosses the Norfolk and West
ern at this point. The Parkersburg,
Little Kanawha and Virginia railway
has also decided to build the proposed
connecting link between the Black Dia-
mond system and the Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley via Wytheville, making
Wytheville competing railway centre.
These lines will bring the Gossan ores
OF Carroll, the mountain ores of Bland
and the limonite ores of Cripple Creek
and New River and the coal fields of
Wythe, Bland and the Flat Top to-
gether at Wytheville, making it the
great iron and trade centre of Southwest
Virginia.
New factories and industries arc be-
ing located every week, among which
are two hotels costing 100000 each
Steel Range and Stove Factory Sl25, 900,

stantly coming in. The Wytheville
