The Herald had visit last week from
Joseph Walker, ST., the patriarch of the
South Mountains. Uncle Joe's farm lies
on the very top of the main South Noun
tain range and his corn tassels wave in
the air more than 1900 feet above the
sea. His fields are as fertile as the best
river bottoms, and he has a field nov
producing from thirty to forty bushels
OF corn per acre that have been bearing
every year for forty years His orchard
and vineyard never fail to bear and be
sells eveey year many hundred bushels
of corn and apples, after supplying a
large family We recently visited Mr..
Walkers home. The view is magnificent
from every side, the one extending from
Tennessee and Virginia to Kings Noun
tain, South Carolina. The only draw
back is the lack of roads, the trail that
now leads from the valley being so rough
and steep and narrow that flat-woods
raccoon would want to take an accident
policy before he tried to climb it.

SILVER ISSUE DRAMATIZED.

Kissing of some OF the lines early in the
piece, presumably by anti silver sympa-
thizers, caused no little excitement, which
was increased when, after the second act,
it was evident the piece had made a hit,
the author. Fitzgerald Murphy, we'll
known Boston newspaper man, being
called before the curtain. He suddenly
turned to Harvey and asked him to say
whether the play faithfully presented the
spirit of Coin's School" The audience
was on tiptoe at the unusual incident;
and when Harvey, arising IN his place
among the spectators, said, at does,
most magnlfcently, there was great
cheering, mingled with Kisses. During
the excitement Miss Francis Drake, the
san Francisco actress, who takes the
leading feminine part, had a narrow
escape from serious injury. Her horse,
becoming FESTIVE, backed against the
scenery, portion CT which fell with a
crash Miss Drake lost her balance, and
