were not seriously jeopardized by the
absence of Senator Wilson, the Pr. to
the contrary Notwithstanding. The

A BILL has been introduced in the
legislature to dispense with the indie
pendent office of assessor in counties
of this class and requires the sheriff to
perform the assessors duties. 1t GER
tainly appers at first glance that the
idea is both practical and sensible. 1t
is not likely that there would be any
dearth of candidates for the dual office,
especially if the salary were increased
a little above the amount now paid to
the sheriff.

WHAT does the Pr. offer to the
people of Washington in exchange for
what it is pleased to call the "domina-
ton" of Senator Wilson /? Is it the
abomination and ruination of another
Seattle ring, organized and conducted
on the same principle, or lack of prin-
ciple, that characterized the old ring
against whose dictatorship the people
of the state revolted two years ago?

1T could badly be expected that the
Seattle Times would join the Pr. Is
mutual admiration society and whoop
it up for Mayor Humes for senator,
but in view of the much Wanted
"Seattle spirit" its virulent opposition
is we'll calculated to give rise to sus-
picion in the minds of its readers that
there must be some good reason for it.
Here are a few choice excerpts from
the Times editorial columns:
"Talk about candidates for the United States
Senate! Wilson has some show because of his
ten years experience, and his devotion to his
friends-but what of Humes who never had a
thought that did not favor "Tom" and which
never favored anybody else"
''The Times will not suffer even in comparison
with the "P.-I." gang who are paid by the LIE
Roi mine to make fight in behalf of the most
corrupt candidate who ever stopped for Office in
the State of Washington"
CHOW the best possible thing the Spokane
representatives of the Seattle morning organ
can do-is to pull out and send Humes home to
attend to his alleged duties as Mayor Of Seattle.
elected to the United States Senate than he does
of being made Archbishop of Canterbury"
And The Times doesn't appear to be
much more favorably impressed with
the Tacoma candidate, for it says:
eff any man who has been elected member
of the Sixth Legislature of Washington believes
that it be his bounden duty to vote for Foster
let him remember the rest of the State and
where he would be at and what the people of
Washington would think of him, for his vote !"

mittee on resolution. After an absence
of few minutes the committee made
and offered the following resolution:
Whereas it seems bad policy and fool
ishness to improve our roads any more,
we recommend that the Supervisors ap-
propriate S400,0 90 more in improv
ing the Court House, and should this
amount be more than can possibly be
used for that purpose, that they be di-
rected to throw the balance in the town

The resolution was unanimously
adopted by the citizens, after which
they adjourned Sine Die.

Last Wednesday evening Mr.. w.

quietly hied away to Graham, and
there were married. The groom
has been prominently engaged in
business here for several years. The
bride is sister of William Mullins.
May the future life of this couple

not false, after all. Again we ask
she question, whose wedding shall

Mr.. Samuel Walton expects to

A Very Old Town.

Freestone, Va, Jan. 21.-Your Free
Stone correspondent, in company with
Mr.. VIM. Necessary, John Turley, and
a few others, spent a day in Bear Town
short time ago. Thinking some of your
readers would like description of this
old town will give you a short sketch.
But few persons have had the pleasure,
il pleasure it may be called, of walking
the streets of this picturesque old town.
1t Is one Of the oldest towns in the Unit
ed States, older even than st. Augustine
1t was conquered and colonized by the
Black Bear. of Virginia long before the
face Of the white man was known upon
its soil.
The starting point of this town is
about one and a half miles north of
Chatham Hill, Smythe county. 1t trav-
erses Brushy mountain In a northeast
direction within few hundred yards
of the top.
This town is from 100 to 800 yards in
width with a small stream of water
flowing through the middle of the town.
This town has been one Of the homes Of
the bear of Virginia for years.
Ihave often read of the cane breaks
Of the wild west. and the jungles ol
Africa, but all Of these are nothing to be
compared with the laurel and ivy of
Bear Town. Lanrel grows from Is to
20 feet in height and 80 thick it is i'm
possible to see a man over five steps,
with gigantic spruce pines towering &c
and so feet over the laurel. Some OF
these pines are feet in diameter. The
writer had the pleasure of crossing the
town twice. Atone crossing believe
we went through the Capitol Square
If any one becomes interested and wantt
to know any more, just spend one day
in the town.

Mr.. STONE SUSTAINED
Mr.. Walker Cannot Copy Regis
tration Books.

1t will be remembered that during the
late Congressional campaign the Repub-
iicans applied to j. A. Stone, registrar
oi the city of Bristol. for copy OF the
registration books. Mr.. Stone refused
and the grounds for his action were pub
lished in the Tribune at the time.
Mr.. Walker felt himself aggrieved at
this action and applied to the supreme
court for writ os mandamus to COM
pell Stone to allow him Co copy the
books. The court has flpally passed on
the matter aud decided that Mr.. Stone
was riffht. Stone received a telegram
notifying him OF the dicision oI the court
The cases We're styled -. B. Keller and
A. X. Hickman va. James A. Stone, "and
Jas. A. Walker W. James A. Stone"
They were practically similar, charg-
ing that Stone refused to permit copies
OF the registration and poll books to be
made; that he permitted Walker TO in-
spect the registration books. but refused
to allow any inspection Of the poll books.
The court decided that under the pro-
vision ot the statute the clerk aud regis.
trar could not be required to make cop
ies oil these records, nor could he be ro.
quired by mandamus topermit such cop
les to be made under his supervision, but
that the petitioners had right Co in-
spect the books. aud TO take notes there
from at reasonable times aud to q rea-
sonable extent. As this right was never
denied as to the registration books, the
petition IA To these WAS dismissed, but
the mandamus was awarded directing
the clerk to permit an inspection OF the
poll books. The right was conceded by
counse! for the clerk in their briei .-Trib
une.

LETTER FROM eREENcAsTlE.
A Citizen or Taxewell County
Sojourning In an Indiana
Town---Some Interesting
Details.

Mr.. EDITOR:
In compliance with your wishes,
l send you few line in reference to
the characteristics ofthis particular
section of country:
Greencastles Ind, is a somewhat
quaint town, of about S5 years of
age. 1t is not so typical of "mod-
ern" town as most towns of the great
northwest, for this reason: There
Is spirit of conservatism stamped
on the manners aud doings of a
great many of its Inhabitants, and
even the atmosphere seems TO be i'm
pregnated with a conservative spirit.
The fathers, as well as the children,
appear too conservative, and, shall
l say fearful of launching out into
the deep and untried ocean OF spec.
ulation, in order to bring to land
their millions Of dollars. and thus
create name. AS d a rule, all con
Iservative men, and communities, as
we'll, for that matter, exhibit a rest
fulness eff dispo osition, a contented-
ness with Surrounding environments,
as well as an easiness Of manner,
which may be always appreciated
and envied by the speculative class.
The conservative spirit of this COM
munity is also manifest as conspicu-
Gus in the primitiveness of the sub
urbs OF this apparently well-to-do
town, whore only about one-third of
the homes, gardens and lawns are
fenced from the public thoroughfare
or road, and where there are fences
ct all around the residences, they
are SO dilapidated as to render them
useless.
There are no hungry and. maraud-
ing cattle, horses or hogs allowed TO
come within the corporate limits of
this small, conservative city, unless
sbey are led or driven.
Apples, peaches, plums, pears,
grapes, as we'll as vegetables, are
grown close the highways, with not
even the shadow of 9 fence TO him
der or exclude them from the sun,
or protect them from ruthless cattle.
II looks as though the quadru peds,
themselves, excepting dogs and
cats) had caught enough of the spirit
of conservatism, not to plant their
hoofs on, or enter the domains of
these conservative people, who live
on this conservative and beautiful
spot Of Gods own creation, and for
aught / know, tho boys, whose nat
urnl proclivities are to take what
can be easily taken, and sometimes
devour with avidity and relish, the
fruits of others-even they may be
conservative enough not to deprive
the owner Of his rights, although the
temptation must occasionally come
with force. But lest, Mr.. Editor.
you should think this one distinguish
ing characteristic of these honest
people too prolix OF tame, / will end
for the present.
