1t seems hard to realize the pos

|Rho come to Washington say the
btate may be lost next year, il
great care is not exercised by the
democratic. managers in dealing
with the silver question. Judge
Potter, of Gainesville, now in
Washington, says on the subject:
Eve have made the finest crop on
record, and are on the eve Of great
prosperity, if we do not, by purSu-
Ing a radical and foolish course
burn the State over to the popu-
| lists. What vicious results would

Colonel Morton Mayre, Auditor
of Public Accounts, says that the
frequent changes in the county
boards of supervisors tends to delay
county affairs materially. Nc
sooner does one board learn it's du-
ties than it is succeeded by anoth-
err. Nowhere is the effect Of these
changes felt more than in the State
Auditors office.

Real Estate Assessments:

Auditor Marye has reports from
ninety counties in Virginia and
these show 3 decrease Of only seven
million dollars as compared with
the assessment books of 1894. II
seems that this falling off in Land
values is considerably less than
was anticipated before. the assess
ments were completed. and the re-
suit is highly gratifying. The
other counties, it is thought, will
cut theses figures down some, at
least.

= Old Documents.

Mr.. H.sH. Seybert, OF Straight
Creek, has in his possession a num-
Der of old papers belonging to
Nicholas Seybert, who was q son
Of Can't. Henry Sey bert, one Of the
first settlers Of this country, hay
inc resided at Fort Seybert, nine
miles north Of Franklin, Pendleton
county. W. Va. Nicholas was a
youth Of seventeen when the fort
was captured by the Indians, and 1t
is said that if his father had taken
his ADVICE and made an effort to
hold The fort. they would have been
saved: but they surrendered aud
most of them were killed, Nicholas
being held prisoner on account or
his bravery shown in the killing or
two of the Indians. He was with
them several years, then sold to
the French and by them taken TO
Canada; but he finally made his es-
cape and worked his way back to
this country, where, it appears, he
carried on a considerable business
AS a merchant, and was one OF the
leading men Of that day.
The papers this man accumulat-
ed over one hundred years ago have
been handed down from one gem
Grafton to another. and as time goes
on thew become more interesting;

who would spend hours in their
perusal.
