A Stove with a History.

The Richmond Dispatch of Tuesday
contains the following interesting account
of an old stove in shop at Monterey
Highland county:
A discovery has lately been made which
if it s'panS out" as the facts now indicate
will be feather in the cap of an humble
but withal worthy and Industrious citi
zen of Monterey.
Joseph Jones, who is wagon-maker
miller, and proprietor of planning mill,
has in his shop an old-fashioned stove, GOV.
cred with the rust of ages, and, while many
an honest customer and host of friend Oily
loafers have enjoyed the comfort which its
warmth afforded, not a man of them had
an idea until recently that it had history
that will in all probability make it more
valuable than the most modern heaters OF
the day, and an ownership, which, it es-
tablished, will make the relic-lOving public
green with envy, for the facts strongly in
dictate that around this hOmely old stove
the Sage of Monticello toasted his patrf-
archal ''shins,'' while with Washington
Adams, Calhoun, and other cotemporane-
GUS dignitaries of that eventful day his
master mind grappled with the Magma
Charta of nations future, and conceived
and formulated those principles designed
to secure to all posterity ia just govern.
ment and an equal Jurisprudence. e."
But, remembering that nearly every
cyI. T,,;o ho, f,,ry bo1 for Wa Ch,
ington and Jefferson servant, coachman
body guard, wet nurse, OIL patron saint IN
some guise, I mention this claim with
great modesty, not asserting it as fact
but as strong belief, hoping that some
one through whose hands the old relic has
passed down the ages may be able to con.
firm the statement.
A gentleman of Eastern Highland visit
ed Mr.. Jones shop not long ago, and, not
ing the ancient appearance OF the stove
asked Mr. Jones where he had gotten it

YOU trace it no further ?" SHE got il
from Simeon Smith, The gentleman herr
gave his knee slap of satisfaction, say
ing: II have been trying to locate thai
stove, Smith got it from DR.. Robert
Stuart, and he told me that it was pres
ent to him from no less parsonage thai
Thomas Jefferson. he (Dr. Stuart) claim
ing that be was personal friend Of JET
ferson.
DR.. Stuart died about twenty years ago
aged, perhaps, 20 years. Simeon Smitl
was shot and killed by one John Campbell
at the Warm Springs several years ago
DR.. Patterson is now located at Staunton
Va.
The stove is supposed to have been mad
at an old foundry somewhere in the Vale,
of Virginia, and has moulded on each sid
plate, samuel Miller, 1859, the letter.
being almost hidden by rust.
If it is true, as some believe. that Dr
Stuart was student at the University Of
Virginia between 1900 and 1926, where th'
friendship of Mr.. Jefferson could have beer
formed, then MI. Jones can very reasona
bly, claim that his stove was once owned
by the father of Democracy.

ed at the meeting, and it will be remember
ed that by the will Of the late John Geary
of Augusta, this church will receive from
sc, 900 to $4,000. The work on the church
will commence in the early spring. 1t is

What He Thinks of American and

British Alliance.
The following was cut out Of
our report of DR.. Cooper's lecture
in Fridays paper for want of
space:
Reference was made to the de-
cline of servility in England,
where it was now said the sover-
eign relgned but did not rule.
The monarchy was called limited,
and it had been very limited since
1858. The speaker told the news.
paper story of Mr.. Gladstone
having brought the Queen to
terms one day by saying he was
"the people of England"
He would rather be an Amer
Jean than a subject of Victoria,
but he wanted to see the hands
Of America and Britain clasped in.
stead of growing together. Britain
bad stolen more patents from them
than they from her, but the
United States had stolen more
copyrights from Britain than she
had from them. Let the thieves
join hands. Their ships had
joined to suppress piracy and he
would have them unite in con-
trolling all international matters.
Since the time of John Bright
there had not been a war that
might not have been settled by
arbitration.
If the navy of great Britain
joined with the navy the United
States expected to have by the
time the Nicaragua canal was
built and the Hawaiian Islands
were annexed, they would en-
force peace throughout the world.
The workingmen were getting the
ballot and they were the people
who made up armies, and now
that they could vote as we'll as
die the time might soon come
when swords would be beaten
into plowshares.
