A Remarkable Be ar Story.

Triggs Tabor, who was in Tasewell
this week relates remarkable bear
story whinh he heard while there ~
occurring in sparsely settled portion
of Russell county. 1t is to the effect
that q moantaiEeer living in that Sec
tion Of Russell, named Jenkins, while
returning home one day early in Feb
ruary from hunt, met large black
bear, walking erect with child under
its left arm which he recognized - his
little five-y -year-old son, while Bruin
carried large club in the other paw.
He quickly killed the bear with b"
rife. and recovering the child near dead
than alive, started home with him
En- route he came across his wife lying
unconscious on the groune with an
ugly wound on the right temple. A.
ter resuscitating her she said that the
bear had come into the house, taken
the child and departed. She followed
him, and in endeavorins to rescue the
child the bear dealt her severe blow
with the club, which rendered her in.
sensible. Trigg says this was related
| to him in sober earnest, and y his in
formant was man of llnquestionable
veracity, it must be tue and quite con-
trary to mythical centenarians and hor-
net eating snakes Of the Roanoke Re
cord and Fredericksburg Free Lance.

From the beginning of winter to tie
end of spring-that is. while the Nile

to drive sailing boats against the cnr-

hand, the current is strong enough TO
carry boat withou: sails down against
the wind, except when it blows gale.
That is why ancient Egypt did not
