the different schools in the district,
each school being represented by a
banner which bore the name of the
school, formed in line and marched
around and into the church, where
several songs were given with the
spirit and understanding due the
occasion.
Then the remainder Of the after

ing to the betterment of the public
schools.
A most enjoyable day was spent,
and the 'heart-to-heart" talks, it is
hoped, will be productive of much
future good.

Penitentiary Dynamited.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, August A.
Armed with dynamite to blow his
way out of prison, Gus Hyatt, the
train robber and desperate, tonight
led a desperate band of l6 convicts
to liberty from the Tennessee peni-
Tertiary. Fifteen of the escaping
party got entirely clear of the prem
ises, and only one, Ed Carney, a
safe-blower sent up from Nashville,
paid the penalty of death in the
bold undertaking.
Joe Loss and James Work were
traced down by bloodhounds and
captured, but the rest of the pris-
oners had wandered so far out of
the bounds that by midnight not a
trace of them could be had.
The prisoners were furnished dy
Mantle from the outside, which they
used in blowing out an opening in
the main wing of the prison.
Hyatt stood off the inside guard
with a brace of revolvers, which
had also been furnished him from
the outside, while the men preceded
him, and Carney, the prisoner who
was killed, Immediately preceded
the train robber.
The dynamite was laid by Doe,
the Manchester train robber, and he
made good his escape with the train
of prisoners that left by the opening
made by the explosive material.
Six of the prisoners that got away
were government men, and the 9th
ers were state convicts. Posses with
bloodhounds are in pursuit.

A YOUNG LADY'S LIFE SAVED
At Panama, Columbia, by Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera. and Diar-
rhoea Remedy.

DR.. Chas. III. Utter, prominent
physician of Panama, Columbia, in
recent letter states: "Last March
l had as a patient a young lany l6
years of age, who had a very bad
attack of dysentery. Everything L
prescribed for her proved ineffect-
ual and she was growing worse ev-
cry hour. Her parents were sure
she would die. She had become so
weak she couldn't turn over in bed.
What to do at this critical moment
was a study for me, but thought
of Chamberlain Collie, Cholera q
Diarrhoea Remedy and as last re-
sort prescribed it. The most won
derful result was effected. Within
eight hours she was feeling better,
inside of three days she was upon
her feet, and at the end of one week

A VISIT TO NORTH CAROLINA.

The editor of the BULLETIN re-
turned Sunday from a visit of two
weeks to relatives in Henderson
vile and Raleigh, n. G.
Hendersonville, the county site
of Henderson County, is a town of
1000 inhabitants, situated 81 miles
south of Asheville. On account of
its healthful climate, the place is
rapidly becoming one of the most
popular resorts in the South, and in
summer It's population more than
doubles. During the heated term
the mornings and ev .nihgs especial
ly are delightful, the average tenn
perature being about 65 degrees.
Hendersonville is situated upon a
hilly table land, 22OO feet above
the sea level, has perfect natural
drainage and is completely surround
ed by the Blue Ridge mountains.
The scenery is grand and pictures
que. The mountain tops, assembled
by narrow, winding drive-ways,
afford magnificent views. From
their SUBMITS the eye can reach for
miles, and the panorama that meets
the gaze is feast for the resident
of the low lands-tier after tier Of
beautiful blue mountains rise higher
and higher, until finally lost in the
distance, where their tops seem to
fairly kiss the skies. The famed
French Broad and Swannanoa riv-
ers, swift and clear, dash over
rocky precipices through these
mountains and wind their way to
the sea. Along the banks Of the
rivers and at the base of the noun
tains are many fertile valleys, dot
ted with the cabins of mountaineers,
an unique people, with customs,
habits and vernacular peculiarly
their own. Their wants are few
and they seem to be prosperous and
happy. The chief products of this
section are vegetables principally
cabbage) fruits, tobacco and corn,
some of which is made into "moun-
tain dew"
At Hendersonville we had the
pleasure of calling on Rev. d. M
McIver and family. He was for
merly pastor of the Bolivar Presby-
terian church, but has been station
cd at Hendersonville for the past
two years. His church has a large
membership and he informs us that
they expect soon to erect a hand
some house Of worship more COM
modious than the present building.
An afternoon was very pleasantly
spent at ''Biltmore," the Wander
bilt property, two miles from Ashe-
Vile. The estate contains thous-
ands of acres, some of which is in
high state of cultivation. Four
teen miles of macadamized road
gracefully curves through the prem
Uses. The mansion, located upon
an eminence, commands splendid
view. From an architectural stand
point it reminds one of the picture
of an English castle. Only a few
are admitted into the mansion, IN
fact it is necessary to secure a pass
before entrance can be gained even
to the grounds. At first the place
was thrown open to the public, but
on account Of vandalism it was
found necessary to limit the num-
Der of visitors. Mr.. Vanderbilt
