Especial Dispatch to The Times)
MONTEREY, VA, July 19.-The close
Of this years wool season finds great
shrinkage in wool for Highlanders This
is evidently due to the big loss OF sheep
caused by the cold rain OF last winter
during lambng time and the diseases
that visited SO many focks late last fall,
cutting down nearly a third Of the sheep
of Highland. notwithstanding this great
adversely, the wool growers OF this
county have shipped to the local mar
kets about one hundred thousand
pounds, though much less than previous
years.
Great activity is noticeable at the
southwest of town. On Tuesday MT 8.

off for eighteen lots. These lots lay
high and are beautifully situated. are
lust back of the fourteen lots he sold
some time ago. the latter which have all
heen enclosed by fence Adjoining IS the
school lot and first of the week ground
was broken for the erection or tbs
Monterey public school building. Con-
tractors now have under contract sew
eral large dwelling houses to be put up
by the coming fall.

HOUSE, SAID TO BE BADLY IN NEED o REPAIRS

Charles Birnn. the father Of Freda.

Newark, n j.. until three years ago,
when he failed. year later he moved
with his family to The Bronx. F'reda

children. The girl was to have started
in six weeks for her graudfather's in
Germany for two years to complete her
musical education.
The Fosburg girl was her chief COM
panion. A month ago Freda invited her
to come and live at her hoUse for q
few weeks. Last Tuesday about 4 o'clock
the two girls left the Birnn home, say
ing they were going for a bicycle ride
and would return in time for supper.
That evening two boys brought tho bi-
cycles home with brief note from
Freda stating that she and Ruth would
never return and they need not worry
about them, for they would come out all
right.
The police were notified, and detectives
were put on the case. An alarm was
sent to all the stations throughout the
city, and outside cities were notified 10

Gerrit Smith, and Brown, believing ne
could help them, also accepted the gift
of a tract from Mr.. Smith and moved to
North Elba in 1S49. But his scheme was
a failure The region proved too cold for
the colored settlers, and many OF them
moved away.
But 1t is certain that Brown at no time In
his career led a happier. more contented
in the Adirondacks. That he was a man
of much resource and executive ability is
though a t the time they were bnilI there
were few of the aids to building that ex7
list to-day, the buildings were planned d
large for those days. And that they were
built on honor is demonstrated by the
fact that up to the present time few re-
pairs have been necessary upon them
Now. however, the time appears to have
come when. as MIR. Lawrence says II the
historic old buildings are to be preserved
in their entirety for years to come,

NEWPORT, July 19.-society has de-
cided that a marriage between Mrs. Geo.

the near future.
The mystery relative to the date and
place of the divorce that separated Mr..
and Mrs. Eustis has never been fully
cleared up.

New York or Newport. The de-
cree, it is understood was granted on

And another reason for knowing that
there was q decree is because recently

Eustis refers to Mrs. Eustis as form

Mrs. Eustis Is a niece OF the late
United States Senator Eustis, of Louisi-
ana, who was Ambassador to France dur
ing Cleveiands second term
Mr.. Eustis, her former husband. is a
nephew Of the Senator.
The ground upon which society bases
it's belief in an impending marriage is
that Mr.. Norman is said to be in al
most constant attendance upon Mrs

Almost Certain That Continental VIII
Not Build on Clay Street.
While there appears to be no doubt that
the Continental Tobacco Company will
build factory here. it is extremely prob
able that II will not be erected on the
site at the head of Clay Street. This loca-
ton appears to be not altogether satisfac-
tory to all parties.
Nothing more definite than the above
could be gathered yesterday as to the
purposes of the company. Several gen
tIemen from the North have been here
recently in connection with the matter
and the result Is that the question OF
the location Of the factory is still an
open one So far as could be learned.
there is no intention on the part OF the
Continental to take the plant entirely
from Richmond, only to build it on a
different site. The Bowe- Street land
may be sold.
The matter is being decided at New
York and some statement will probably
be given out. Mr.. e. G. Mayo. resident

Mr.. Gannaway the small sum OF $50. It
was then discovered that more warrants

moro witnesses and July the 1st the case
was tried again, this by P. B. Young
attorney at law OF Oak Ridge. this coun-

OF friends during his shortstay in Rock

Quite a number Of ladies witnessed the
trial. and were highly compln1ented by
the Squire for taking such an active part
in putting down this great evil. which
was much appreciated by them as they
were being severely criticised by the
whiskey party.
This time the Gannaways were found
guilty in several cases and fined S5u and
