MED Mr.. A. o. Surber on visit to his
home in this fertile and picturesque
Valley At this period of the year the
country is especially attractive The
mountains are rich in their winter robes,
and the fields have yielded their in
crease, and the thrifty husbandman has
his garners filled with the fruits of his
summers toll
From the appearance OF his land, Mr..
NJ H Surber is a model farmer. Every
thing about his extensive farm is in
good order, and as he pays special atten-
ton to raising and fattening stock, he
has erected spacious barns and has them
arranged especially for feeding large
numbers of cattle. We noticed large
herd of fine steers grazing in good pas
ture, that he had recently purchased in
West Virginia, which were to be served
as needed to the people of Clifton Forge.
In his home Mr.. Surber is hospitable
and entertaining, and it was a pleasure
for the writer to mingle with family
known far and wide for kindness and
generosity.
Mr.. Surber takes great interest in
public affairs and it was largely through
his efforts that the new church in the
Valley was erected.
We also made the acquaintance of Mr..
and Mrs. NJ. W. King, relatives of Mr.
Surber, who reside near Longdale Fur
mace, and found them very agreeable

A Clever Rascal.

Last Saturday night a week, negro

Surber and purchased meat to the
amount of $1.40, and offered in payment
note which resembled a $40 bill. Mr.
Brown Surber received the money and
gave him $500 change. After the Gus

was made that it was 81 note that had
been raised to $40. While the fraud
could be readily detected on close in

on Saturday nights, it would pass un-

The Rich Patch

We clip the following from an able ar
ticle from the pen of s. NJ Yost, which
recently appeared in his Weekly:
1.-THE Rich Patch Iron Company are
enlarging their facilities for mining ore,
and consequently have been exploring
their property more carefully than has
been the case heretofore. The favora-
bic results of the laboratory and furnace
tests of this ore have caused an active
demand for the company's output, and
to meet this demand they have had to
provide means to husband the water re-
sources during the dry months, in order
to run their washer on full time. To
this end two large dams are being cons
structed to catch and hold all the issues
from the various mountain streams, and
when completed will furnish ample
water supply to operate the washer to
its full capacity during the dry fall
months when heretofore there has been
insufficient water force for the purposes
of the company. Ordinarily there is an
abundance of water force. 1t is only
during several fall months that any in
convenience has been experienced, and
that will now be remedied
"a number of explorations have re-
Gently been made and the revelations
have been marvellous. On the divide,
between Laurel branch and Clear creek,
about three miles from the field of press
ent practical operations, vast bodies of
ore are found, that reach 1 800 feet across
the mountain spur with the ore exposed
on the surface in succession of i'm
mense boulders and continuous float as
though the whole mountain were one
vast mass of high grade ore, measuring
millions of TONS. A thorough test of
this discovery is now being made, a force
of hands having been placed on it within
the past few days to ascertain the ma
ture and the extent of the deposit
Judging from similar indications, on
other parts of the property, the ore will
be found to be of great depth, and to
cover the same interior space that the
surface evidences do.
The value of this find is enhanced by
the fact that it could be easily approach
ed by continuance OF the Rich Patch
railroad, about two and one-half miles
southeast of the present terminous
whence the ore could be reached by
trans at comparatively little cost for
their construction, and the ore mined at
minimum expense

Geo. K. Anderson, Esq Elected
Cashier.

At called meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Allegheny Bank of Cliff
ton Forge, Va, held in their banking
room on Friday last, Mr.. George X.
Anderson, senior partner of the law firm
of Anderson & Moore, we'll known at
torneys of this city, was unanimously
elected Cashier of the Allegheny Bank,
which position was made vacant by the
death of the former Cashier, Mr. J. L.
Page. In the election of Mr. Anderson
to the responsible position of Cashier,
the Board of Directors have shown true
wis lem. And if it were possible, we
believe that Mr.. Page would give his
approval from the depths of the tomb.
Few men in Clifton Forge enjoy the re-
spect and confidence of the citizens to a
greater degree than Mr.. Anderson, and
his general fitness for the position is
conceded. His urbane and polished
manner, so essential in business trans
actions with the public, will go far to-
wards making the Bank popular in
stitution. We heartily congratulate the
Board of Directors and their estimable
Cashier.

They Offer a Wonderful Variety, If Not
Much Beauty.
One of the many curious things which
strike an observer of the throngs that
daily land at the barge office is the
riot-provoking headgear worn by the
newcomers. Any style of hat that one
wants to see, or does not want to see,
according to his sensibilities, can be
seen whenever a ship from foreign
shores lands its passengers at that in
stitution.
If person attempted to draw con-
illusions about the nationality of the
headgear, he would soon find himself
hopelessly mixed up. just why ma
tive of sunny Italy should decorate his
intellectual end with bearskin cap,
and an immigrant from the Scandina-
Wan peninsula should come sporting a
battered straw hat, has yet To be salts

one of the newcomers appeared with
three straw hats telescoped one upon
the other and worn in such matter-of-
fact way as to disarm any suspicion of
doing willful violence to other peoples
ideas Of the eternal fitness of things.
But it was the female part Of the in
coming procession whose headgear at
tracted the most attention. A trio who
landed few days ago had their heads
adorned with some gaudy material

ebon locks Each headdress was picto-
raj as well as picturesque, and when
seen from distance had the appear

/ KNOW A MAIDEN.

] know q maiden-purer she
Than vesper hymns or breath Of roses;
Sweeter than bells and blossoms be
Whose azure cups the evening closest

Recluse and wary as pheasant
Her smile IS like a glimpse Of May
That on the verge Of winter fingers;
Her strains, the weird eolien sway
OF wind-harps swept with viswless hngeF5i

OF sweet resound, a fountains murmuT
Or dryad's song in forest dell
Under the leafy domes Of summer
Or liker the melodious wimple
OF silver beoks that break and dimple.

Where Attic swarms find sweetest plumber
Have blushing favors in reserve,
With glimpse OF Whitest pebbles under;
Her sleight Of tongue and charm OF grammar
Love letters with pretty stammer.
Her foot is small as small may be
In measure Of proportioned limit;
Her step elastic, arm and free,
Light as the wing'd unchambered emmett;
Her thoughts, that take no earthly leaven,
Soar upward to the clesrest heaven
Her locks are brown, and fall IN curls
About her lovely shoulders parting;
Like miLnows deep in forest pools,
In her clear eyes quick thoughts are darting
Through light and shade, or gathered under
Her long dark lsshes, dream and ponder.
Her brows are black like swallows wings,
Her temples white like downs in winter
And when she lifts her eyes and filings
glance at me, It's like a splinter

And sweetly in my bosom oenters
