Mrs Jennie Hiner and daughter,
Miss Mamie have moved to Marlin
ton, where Mrs. Hiners two sons
are in business.
Mrs James Judy of Staunton is
visiting at her old home in Crab
bottom.
We are glad to see that Messers.
John Mackey and Robt. Woods are
able to be about again after their
spells Of fever.
Mrs. Trimble has just opened
another lot Of new hats in navy
blue, grey and red with all of the
fancy trimming silks.
Mr.. Luther Beverage has built q
stable on his town lot. He sunk a
we'll too and has fine water. This
should encourage others i'll that
part of the town.
Col. D. V. Ruckman says he will
bet his old hat that there is a lake
of oil in the bottom of Highland
county. Who will 60 down or
around and see about it?
We hear that some of the leading
town people have been indulging
in some very encouraging water
works talk. Whether it will result
in water works or remain Wild
works we are not able to say at
this writing.
Our candidate for the house.
Judge G. F. Moore, was with us
last week and grasped the hand of
many Highlanders who will give
him a lift toward Richmond OIL the
9Th.
Last week L. II. Stephenson,
Esq weighed 20 two year old cattle,
white faces, of his own raising, and
they averaged 1000 pounds. One
| in the lot weighed 1863.
A ten dollar lap robe at Trimble
and Lunsford's, it is a beauty, but
they have stacks Of cheaper ones,
pretty too, that will give good ser
vice. The biggest line in town in
lap robes and horse blankets.
The residence of Mr. W. T.
Alexander, near Mcdowell, which
was destroyed by fire last week, we
learn was not insured. A greater
part of the furnishings were con-
sumed. 1t all came from a bad
fue. The property was a neat
frame dwelling, and all such could
be insured for four or FIVE dollars a
year.
Mr. Will Jones of Wier went to
Baltimore this week to have his
eye perated on. When quite small
he hart his eve with knife, but
not until lately has it been giving
him trouble. We hope an opera
ton may prove successful. Mr..
Jones sister Miss Mamie accom-
panied him to Baltimore, also Miss
Josephine Stephenson.
In the years that are gone when
our sporty fellows would 60 to the
mountain and kill a deer they
would almost ''bust" before they
could get home to tell it; now they
can get rid of that high pressure
bv 'phoning.
The local and the through liues
of the Monterey and Warm Springs
telephone company are ready for
the "helo." This is by far the best
built line in the county. The poles
carry four wires. one being the
through line to the Springs, one
the local line, one to Bolar and
one TO Back Creek. Mr.. Harper,
manager of the company was here
Saturday.
Call on C. S, Waybright for a
first class power wood-saw for saw

second hand is practically as good
as new will be sold for one-half

one of the greatest labor saying
devices made. Yours,
G. S. Waybright.
