WILL WE LOSE Ir?-Information comes
TO US that causes us to fear that after July LIST
we may lose the Fast Wall. 1t is claimed
that the Atlantic SeabOard railroad line tn
the south meets the requirements of that
section very much better that does the Nor
folk & Western system and TINT the very in
fucnces that aided a, first TO secure it to the
latter road are now strongly opposing 1t.
We sincerely hope that we may continue
to enjoy the excellent service that is thus If
!ordtd us, or that in event OF failure to secure
appropriation for that train that the train
may be worth sufficient as passenger train
to warrant its continuance the latter, how.
ever, is scarcely to be hoped for
STRANGE Bur TRUE Some years ago.
Clay Grove, a son Of MIS- Margaret Grove OF
near this place, died at the home Of his par
ents in Wcycrton and was buried in the
Knoxville cemetery. Sometime afterwards
iombsoncs We're erected to mark his resting
place, In walking through the cemetery
last summer it was noticed that the stones
had disappeared and no trace of them could
be found About ten days ago the stones
were again found in position. No Que has
any idea who took them away or brought
them back and pat them in their former
position The above almost equals the
robbery ola peach orchard i'll Virginia when
the thieves ok the trees with them.
