DIR. I. p. Ramsey.

Dr. Ramsay, beginning with last
morning, delivered six SER
mons or addresses in town, which
were greatly enjoyed and highly
praised by those who heard them. The
sermon on Sunday morning in the
Methodist church has already been
mentioned. The fine addresses in the
Presbyterian church, beginning on
sunday night, were all dorctinal.
The first was on the Scriptures; sec
ond, the Miracles; third, The True
Gospel fourth, The objectionable
Sin. aad last night on Perfectionism
No one who heard these discourses
can be ignorant benceforth of the
faith of the Presbyterian churdh. The
grea: doctrines of the Bible were pre-
sented forcefully and eloquently and
clearly frC the speakers point oil
view. DR.. Ramsay is logical. clear
thinker. His manner is pleasing anC
his delivery splendid. Some of his
hearers, even among his own people
may not have endorsed all he said
but all were impressed deeply will
statements of the truths of the Bible
He left Friday morning for his hom

ing several books for publication.

The Devil in BOtetourt.

The Roanok, Buchanan and Cliff
ton Forge papers report that the devil
has made his appearance in Botetourt
county, stampeding innocent fisher
men and interfering with spring
plowing and other agricultural pur-
suits. There, must be some mistake.
What can the devil find congenial in
Botetourt? Morever, he has not been
missed from this neighborhood. The
account states that when last seen he
was high -balling after a fisherman.
this fisherman had evidently
been lying about his catch, and TN,
devil evidently thought him rpie TO
the kingdom. 1t is surprise and re-
grettable that even Botetourt fisher
man would so state the facts as T.
attract such company This should b
o warning to fishermen.

Norton, va, Aprll -.
While these beautiful spring days
are passing don't let them get away
without taking an evening stroll into
the woodland. The thought will no
doubt come TO you. How sad it
will be when our forests are gone.
If you were TO come across grand
old black walnut tree SIXTY feet 10

an hour admsring it; but you will
not find one now. They are gone.
Even the great big old yellow poplar
is getting TO be an object that rarests
our attention and admiration. These,
magnificent black walnut. BY and by
the hickory and the beech and all,
too, will go.
Yes, we would talk to the old oak
or maple could we call them back,
as John Fox makes the montain girl
talk to the Lonesome Pine, " in his
latest book. Yes, dear old oak dear
old pine! How many a tale could
thy branches tell OF youth and hope
and "Iove's brighter times"
These thoughts bring to memory,
too, the old sugar camp and the sugar
trees of Tazewell's hills, so numerous
just after the war. They were needed
along about that time while sugar.
was skace, but they.are gone! fallen
into decay, or victims OF the white

Scythe Still Lost

In answer To numerous inquiries
the editor will state that his scythc
has not been returned. lie Is on the
track of IL, however, although the
trails are IA little cold. One rumor,
that the scythe went to the Concord
neigh borhood Is not credited for the
reason that there is nothing To cut In
that section but bushes, and n scythe
don't make good grubbing hoe.
Some one states that the scythe
might be found In the Wittcns Mill
neighborhhod. We are investigating
this last rumor, and will send IA Bald
win detective to that community To
ascertain whether Henry Bowen, who
raises alfalfa, uses mower or n
scythe, how many scythes he has, If
any, their general appearance, etc. We
might state here that this last scythc
has our own private mark--a slit In
the right ear and IA cIop of the left

legged and has short tail, with one
