DISCOVERY OF COAL IN SHENANDOAH
COUNTY.
1T Is BITUMINoUs COAL OF FINE
QUALITY.

1T Is BITUMINoUs COAL OF FINE
QUALITY.
Last weeS we published an article In
reference to the discovery Of coal in
Fort Valley about or 10 mile,
from Woodstock.
Since that time we have examined
number Of samples. The coal is ijenti-
ca.ly the same, as the coal in the
Thomas coal mine of West Virginia and
it burns freely.
Mr.. Combs, in digging well struck
two small veins between veins o. slate at
a depth Of lG feet from the surface. Tie
coal which he took out is of excellent
quality and cannot be distinguished
from the coal sold in town ty delears'
About one-tourth of a mile from the
well, the same vein was struck near he
surface and samples Of coal Of the same
quality we're found.
The people who have found it and
have examined it, are not experienced
coal miners and do not understand the
usual lay of coal mines. One expert
enced miner, who worked in the pines
of West va, examined it and expressed
the opinion that it was the same coal In
quality and that the desired quantity
would be found, ii the mines were fully
opeued.
It is a well known fact that the noun
tains on either side OF the Valley where
he coal is found ontain large deposits
OF iron ore OF fine quality. There is also
manganese mines in the same monnt-
aims. With coal, iron, manganese and
limestone within few miles, Of each
other what is to prevent our having a
Birmingham In our own county 7
The point where the coal was discover
ed is about u miles from the Southern
Railway, at Water Lick. As the weir
extends in the direction Of Wafer Lick
il may be found much nearer.

This voiceless stone in deathless song shall
tell "The story how ye FELL"
Next is the plinth l foot 10 inches
squ&ie, and 2.6i thick, beautifully carved
upon the corners. The whole is sur
mounted by a shaft lO1 feet long.
At the base Of the monument is a
beautifully rounded and terraced
mound, nicely sodded. !
Beneath this mound, rest The bodies
Of the unknown dead.
Next to the pathway surrounding the
mound is beautifully sodded circle
beneath which are the remains of nearly
thee score Confederates whose names
arc known. The daughters of the Con-
federacy propose to erect marble mark
ers at each or ave, inscribed with the
name, company and regiment OF the
deceased.
Beyond the pathway surrounding this
circle of graves is another circle where
it is proposed to bury Confederate sol
diers, as they pass away. There is now
but one grave in this circle, that of w.
Il. Lowery, OF Co. X. 33d Va. Infantry,
who died but few weeks ago.
The monument is the work of Mr..
Jas. Snyder, of Woodstock, and is an
enduring compliment to his skill.
In every respect, it fully complied
with the contract. Mr.. Snyder did not
hesitate to put on extra labor whenever
it would add to the beauty Of the nOnu-
mcut. His services in this respect is
highly appreciated.
This work was undertaken several
years ago by the few aides comprising
the Shenandoah Chapter, Daughters of
the Confederacy. How well they have
succeeded is 3ttested by the beautiful
monument around which sleep the re-
mains Of our beloved and gallant dead.
The work 50 far as it has proceeded has
been fully paid for. Great credit is due
every member of the chapter who has
so unrcmttingly labored for the ac-
complishment Of this purpose, but
special credit is due TO the President,
Mrs. J. II. Williams. upon whom has
devolyed The management of this effort,
and how WEI she has discharged that
duty, we all know
