A little more than three miles out from
Mount Jackson, fronting on the line Of the
Southern Railway, in the most beautiful
sectie1 of Shenandoah county, is Bel
Sravaa, the home of Mr.. James Cox and
one of the incest farms in the far-fameu
Valley OF Virginia There are close
2G0 acres in the pace, only about one-half
OF which is cleared, While the remainder
is set in forest trees. The farm mansion,
built during recent years, is one Of beauty
and elegance and taste. It is here that
Mr. Cox has bacnelor quarters, and enter

four wears old, is the stud companion of
Kelly, and there are few handsomer horses
to be seen than this rangy, bay son OF
Belmont and Lady Simmons, by Volunteer.
