"A Lest Railroad.
We have frequently been asked
what had become of Potts and that
portion of the Cumberland GAP
Railroad above Edgefeid. To get
the truth about the matter we have
interviewed. DR.. Bob Mayson, who
livessnear the line, of the projected
route. Dr.. Bob says that the last
time he saw the railroad DR.. Josh
: Bell had It on. his back and was
trying to cross Mountain Creek,
but that right at the ford he
stunped his toe and fell down and
lost it.
A SmaSh-Up.
It. is generally known that up to
this time there has been 8 strong
combination as to the price of all
first-class cooking stoves, that this
combination has certain agents in
every State and section, that these
agents are protected by iron-clad
agreements from the factories, and
mo sone has been allowed to en-
croach on their territory. But,
happily for the people, with the
election of Cleveland to the Presi-
dental chair comes also a amash-
up; of this great stove combine.
We have just been informed by
Mi. t.. Padgett, 805 Broad ST.,
Augusta, Ca, that he will sell a
No. 1905 e Charter Oak" stove yith
90 pieces Of ware for SIG, a No.
2oW, with same quantity of ware
for $3.50. This stove has been
retailed for $25, and we have no
doubt that the dealers. who have
not been posted on this are yet
asking $25 for it. We only men
ton these two sizes because the
people are acquainted with them
and will see at a glance how great
q reduction has taken place in
stoves. If any of our readers are
in need of a cooking-stove, it will
be well for them to write this iirm
---for a catalogue, who also deal
largely in all kinds of house-fur-
nishing goods, including furniture,
carpets, oil-cloths, rugs, shades,
baby carriages, in fact everything
with which to furnish a house.
Mrs. Lucy j. Bates.
Mrs. Lucy J. Bates, relict of the
late Gen. John Bates, died quite
suddenly at her residence in oul

N. Booth of the Baptist church

For several years past her health
