A Sky Land Farm in Burke.

The Herald had q visit last
week from Joseph Walker, ST..
the patriarch of the South Noun
tains. Uncle .Joe's farm lies on
the very top of the main South
Mountain range and his corn tas
sells wave in the air more than 3.
900 feet above the sea. His fields
are as fertile as the best river bot
toms, and he has field aow pro-
ducing from thirty toforty bush
els Ofcorn Der acre that have been
hearing every year for thirty
years. His orchard and vineyard
never tail t3 bear and he sells
every year many hundred bush
els of corn und apples, after sup.
plying a large family. We recent
~ visited Mr.. Walkers home.
The view is magnificent from eve
ry side. the one extending from
Tena. and Va. to Kings Noun
tain, South Carolina. The only
drawback is the lack of roads,
the trail that now leads from the
valley being SO rough and steep
and narrow that a fiat-woods
raccoOn would wunt to take an
accident policy before he tried to
climb it.-Morganton Herald.

invaded bis family and took
from him the one who h a d
been his bosom companion
for more than half a century,
and his life was thus made
lonely for more than twelve
years prior to his death.
At last,'on July 8, 1895,
his own well-rounded life ter
minated at the advanced age
of sc years. Z months and 9
days. Though dead, our brt-
theirs influence is still living.
His life in many respects is
well worthy of imitation and
it is our privilege to study
the same and emulate his vir
tuous actions. Though it ia
sad to have our friends sever
ed from us by death, yet we
take consolation from t h e
poet:
"Thcre is a world above, .
Where parting is unknown;
A long eternity of love,
Formed for the good alone.
And faith behoids the lying here

Representative.
Represen

Colon, Columbia, Jan. 1s.-Col. X. C.
Wintersmith, United States treasury in
spector mere, also vice consul, vigorously
pulled the beard of Tracey Robinson,
formerly vice consul, when the two men
met short time ago in the Washington
hotel. The railroad company Immediate
ly directed that the affair be kept a secret
and so no account of ii appeared In the
local newspapers. A letter from Colon,
printed in New York newspaper some
time ago, suggested that the Two special
inS pecLOrShipS Of the ISthmuS ought to be
abolished as they are useless for any pur-
pose except to provide S5,CCJ to be divided
in salaries for hangerS-on of the admin
iStratiOn in office. Indeed IL is said the
reason why Col, WinterSmith is acting as
vice consul is because he has nothing TO
do as inspector. AS it would be unlawful
for him to hold two government offices
for pay, he does the work of vice consul
for nothing, according TO reports, and
draws salary as customs inspector.
The Colonel returned TO Colon lately
from tour of the West Indies and
learned Of the letter published In New
York. He SurmiSed that the author OF
the letter was Mr.. Robinson, who had
some reputation as writer and who eX-
pected to be retained as vice consul. so
the first time he met Mr.. Robinson, who
Is elderly aud not strong physically, the
Colonel pulled his beard and bumped him
against a wall until he was pulled off.
According to one report the Colonel also
slashed Robinson several times with a
small pocket knife.
Col. Wintersmith was arrested, des-
pite his defiance Of officials as an Ameri-
can officer and in the Alcalde court he
was sentenced to five days Imprisonment
though he was permitted to pay $40 in
lieu Of going to prison. After sentence
was pronounced the Colonel told Mr..
Robinson he was not done with him yet,
whereupon the court put him under 5000
bond to keep the peace for six months.

OTTAWA, Jan. lS.-It Is rumored
that when the Canadian Parlia-
ment meets in February the speech
from the throne will contain a pro-
position for the construction of the
Huron and Ottawa Canal by the
government of Canada, or by a
private corporation with liberal
government subsidy. This means
the construction Of a deep water
canal from Perry Bay to Ottawa
river, a distance of about l20 miles.
A vessel then can pass from Sault
Ste. Marie or the straits of Macin-
&C to Montreal in less time than
it now requires to reach Buffalo
or the entrance to the Welland
Canal on Lake Erie. From Sault
Ste. Marie to Montreal via Perry
Sound is 800 miles while from
Sault Ste. Marie is $50 miles. From
Sault Ste. Marie to Montreal via
Detroit and Welland Canal and
the st. Lawrence river is 1000
miles, so that the saving Of the
distance by the construction OF
this canal is 500 miles. The st.
Lawrence route is now a formid-
able competitor for the traffic from
the Great Lakes to the Atlantic,
but the Huron and Ottawa canal
would be infinitely superior to the
present route by the st. Lawrence.
