Gen. Jas. A. Walker, who is contest

began taking depositions yesterday in
the Fowler building on Cumberland
street. Seventeen witnesses were ex-
amined, the substance Of their testimo-
ny being affirmative answers to the
question as to whether they voted for
Mr.. Walker.
The washington correspondent Of the
Richmond Times, writing under date of
Thursday, says:
The taking of testimony in tue

He made dismal failure, however, and

a Very Old Town.

Freestone, Va, Jan. 21.-Your Free
Stone correspondent, in company with
Mr.. VIM. Necessary, John Turley, and
few others, spent a day in Bear Town
short time ago. Thinking some of your
readers would like description of this
old town I will give you 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 tcwnsin 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. It trav-
erses Brushy mountain in north east
direction within few hundred yards
of the top.
This town is from 100 to 800 yards in
width with q 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 OF
Africa, but all ofthese are nothing to be
compared with the laurel and ivy of
Bear Town. Lanrel grows from is to
20 feet in height and 30 thick it is i'm
possible to see man over five steps,
with gigantic spruce pines towering 20
and 80 feet over the laurel. Some of
these pines are feet in diameter. The
writer had the pleasure of crossing the
town twice. Atone crossing I believe
we went through the Capitol Square.
IL any one becomes interested and wants
to know any more, just spend one day
in the town.

LETTER FROM aRrENcAsrlE,
A Citizen OF Taxewell County
SojourninG in an Indiana
Town---Some Interesting
Details. :

i 0s1aAas
Ma. EDtToR:
In compliance with your wishes,
l send you few line in reference to
the characteristics OF this particula,
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 q spirit of conservatism stamped
on the manners and doings OF a
great many of its Inhabitants, and
feven the atmosphere seems to be i'm
pregnated with conservative spirit.
The fathers, as we'll as the children,
appear too conservative, and, shall
l says 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 a name. AS q rule, all con
seryative men, and communities, as
we'll, for that matter, exhibit rest.
fulness of dispo sitlon, "a contented-
ness with surrounding environments,
as we'll 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
tho homes, gardens and lawns are
fenced from the public thoroughfare
or road, and whore there are fences
at 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
aey 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 q fence to him
der or exclude them from the sun,
or protect them from ruthless cattle.
1t looks as though the quadrupeds
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
ural 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 ono distinguish.
ing characteristic of these honest
people too prollx OF tame, l will end.
for the present.

Dr. Estill was not church member.
He had profound respect for religion

During the latter years OF his life, par

most intimately acquainted with him.
