Baseless RumOr,

A sensational rumor was started here
that Is convicts had escaped from Gooch &
Co. works on Friday and the woods were
full of Them" None had escaped, but the
county people were made very anxious
by the report. 1t may be proper to say that
if any such escape were to occur, Augusta
county would be the last place in the world
the convicts would remain in. All expert
ence with them is to the effect that they
are thirty miles from camp before they
stop to look around.

be's mill is the highway to the whortle-
berry fields, and as many as 100 people
have been counted passing that one point
in one day with wagons, baskets and boxes,
going to gather those sweet berries which
are to be canned for that inevitable pie
always found on the farmers table in the
Valley.
