FALSE PROPHETS.

About twenty years ago it was predicted
by many false prophets that there would
be no progress and development here, but
that all this section would relapse into g
wilderness ON account of the absence of
transportation facilities and the predoml-
nance of the negro race. There Is only one
small building at this place that would be
recognized as having been here twenty
years ago, and one white man now. here
who was born within the corporate limits
of the town.
PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE.
The population is about 1000, and all
new and progressive people with the
shackles of the past broken loose the pre-
iudices Of other times LAID aside. and the
old ruts heretofore travelled abandoned.
The railroad reached here about eight
years ago, and the sound of the engineers
whistle at once proclaimed advancement
and prosperity for all this section. The
people wanted "a live town for market
aud supplies and they built Chase City.
BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENTS.
The business-houses now comprise 6
general stores, 2 drugstores, l furniture,
s harness and saddlery, 2 jewelry, fancy
grocery, hquor-stores, 8 livery-stables,
3 meat markets, 2 restaurants, commo-
dious hotels, with wonderful mineral
waters; large tobacco warehouses;, eA-
tensive contemporaries. grain and
feed-store, bank, with ample capital, and
various shops of carpenters. blacksmIths,
and wheelwrights. In education, the
Southside Academy. an Incorporated .insti-
tuition, with five professors and large,
new building; l graded public school,
with two teachers, and the private school
OF the Misses Drew. There are white
and eolored churches and Young Mems
Christian Association hall and library.
NO VACANT HOUSES.
There IS not vacant house in the place.
Does not this exhibit show there is life in
the old land yet? There are no enmities
and preiudces as in olden times. and no
two men who do not speak to each other,
aud but very few of the population who
do not belong TO churches of some denomi-
nation.
Everybody was very orderly during the
Christmas holidays. and no disorder of any
kind occurred.
The ground is covered with snow about
four inches deep, and sleighing has been
greatly enjoyed.
Tho situation of the town is SIS feet
above sea-level, no streams near 1t. and
the locality is proverbial for the general
h9althfuiness of the people.

end to the variety to be had. OF course
the big game, such as elephants and lions,
is almost altogether in the north country up
about Mashonaland. The natives are
splendid workmen in some lines, especially
in the manufacture of robes from the skins
of wild animals. The game country is also
very rich in mineral deposits, particularly
gold. The ostrich business is still an i'm
