Col. Mike. Gray received a letter from his son, John, today date1 Ruak = CT the Z4th inst. in which he gives the particulars of a visit paid to one of their camps last Sunday morning by Kid the Apache and four compan- ions.
 The raid occurred before daylight at Mulberry. The dogs parked and made a great noise but it was cloudy and so dark that nothing could be seen of the marand.rs. They succeed ed in getting two horses from the band and made an unsuccessful attempt to get the saddle horse which MT. Gray had picketed. The animal broke the picket rope and gave them the slip. As soon as daylight came a hurried mount was made and the trail follow ed until it was lost in the rocks. The Indians went through Prices canyon. They left one horse behind them be- long 10 Fred Ruch's brand whose range is in the San Simon valley near Bowie. The horse wore rawhide shoes and had been ridden nearly to death. The Indians wore moccasins and there was no doubt of there having been ] of them. It is altogether likely that they are bound for the Sierra Madra mountains in Sonora. There is nothing to hinder their progress as Lie1t Wallace and command are at Bowie getting paid off for last months work in Uncle Sam's vineyard.

Father and Son Skip Out With Mother
and Her Daughter.

"Doc" Clendencn moved to Big
Stone Gap some time ago and has
been making a steady employee at
the Appalachian furnace With him
he brought woman who was sup
posed to be his wife She had one
daughter, perhaps eighteen years old,
and little girl, about three YEARS
old. The family circle seemed as
happy as covcy of larks on a bright
Nav morning till "thc handsome fea-
lures and graceful forms " (?) of
Newt Bentley and his son appeared
on the scene. Then the trouble COM
menced. The father and son at once
made huge mash on the mother and
daughter, while the two females
proved to be pretty well up in the
mashin' business In fact, there APP
pearcd TO be general four handed,
all-'round mash. Josh Bullitt, after
being corrected in regard to his idea
of the meaning Of the word emotion,
BY Capt. w. +. Gordon in his article
on Prose and Poetry, would possibly
say there was a general all-'round
"kindcr working of the feelings of
the tender sort" These feelings of
the tender sort" kept ga working'
till the wholesale infatuation became
so strong that prudence nor resistance
were 40 longer matters to be conSld-
cred, so last Wednesday the four,
after the order of the wandering Arab,
silently folded their tents and skip
nod out, taking with them the little
girl, Clendcncn is after them for the
purpose Of recovering the little girl,
but will make no effort to induce the
hayward women to return.

Southern Progress.

The manufactures Record Of Bal
timore. in the issue of January 9th,
1898, after an exhaustive review and
careful investigation of Southern
financial affairs for 1892, says:
"rherc is usual activity in every
line of industrial enterprise in the
South, at the present time, and every
indication points to degree of &C
tivitv during the coming year greater
than has ever been known before.
"rhc past year has been a period of
rigid economy in every line of bust
ness in the South, and more attcn-
ton has been placed to the placing
of existing industries upon firm
foundation than the projection OF new
industries. The settlement Of vexa
tious political issues, the greater
amount of cash which the present
cotton crop is yielding to the pro-
ducers, and the greater abundance OF
money and more extended credit IN the
South, and the activity and prosperi--
ty which mark every branch of indus
try in that section are the conditions
upon which the course of affairs IN
the South during the year 1893 will
depend. With conditions as favor
able as these are generally recognized
to be. there can be no doubt of the
very promising prospects which he
before the South at this time. Every
condition necdful for successful bust
ness in the South exist at present,
and the year 1892 closes with a very
satisfactory record of progress that
has been made under trying clrcum-
stances and with brilliant prospects
for the coming year.
".The recent advance Of two and
one half cents per pound on this sin
gle product of the South (cotton)
adds $4,000, 900 to it's cash receipts
for this season, bringing the total OF
the cotton crop for 1892 to between
5000, 600, 900 and 500, 600, O0o.'
There can be no surer sign OF
growth and prosperity OF the South
than in the development Of the man
ufacturing interests, Concerning

good profits as rule. In fact the

Representative Newlands III dis
,cussing the financial question in
New York is reported by the Press
as saying:
"Silver mining forms the basis
of all industries in Nevada, Colora-
do, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho,
North Dakota, Eastern Washington
Eastern Oregon, Utah, Arizona,
and New Mexico. This is one third
of the territory Of the country.
There are 10000 miles Of railroad
in this territory which are bonded
for $600,000,000 in eastern cities
and in Europe where the stock is
owned. If the Sherman bill should
be repealed, one-half of these roads
would 60 into the hands of the re-
ceivers within sixty days, as they
depend largely upon silver mining
for support"

MORE AMERICAN TIN PLATE
WORKS.

In addition to the many tin-plate
works now in operations five large
factories are being erected at the
following named places: Elizabeth
port, n j., Philadelphia and New
Castle, Pa, Niles, Ohio, and Gas
City, Ind. The product Of these
mills will be about two-thirds
bright tin. plate and one-third terne,
and the output exceeding twenty
thousand boxes a week, or an aver
age of more than four thousand
boxes per week each. Estimating
the output for a year on the basis
Of so working weeks, the product of
these mills will be one million boxes,
having value of more than five
million dollars. This is another
practical illustration of the benefits
OF the Mckinley Tariff.

Narcissus

A student in the public school
here, desires to write an essay on
the life of Narcissus and asks for
information. We cheerfally re-
spond to all such easy questions as
this, and will, therefore, say from
the story our grandfather told us
Narcissus was the only Greek at
the battle of Bunker Hill, and
fought like the hero he was. After
the British forces had been twice
repulsed, the gun which he had
been using, got so dirty that a bull
let was "choked" in the barrel, and
there being no further opposition to
the advance of the enemy, poor
Narcissus, pierced by hundred
bullets, fell, exclaiming "tis hard
to die when you don't want to-"
So he died, and wild flower, bloom
ing upon his grave, was found in
after years, and given the poor old
hero's name.
