A few days ago there arrived in this
city gentleman familiarly known
among his old friends as "Uncle Bill, +"
or "Klondike Bill, as it was in Alaska
where he had just recently accumulated
q fortune in the gold fields. He had
with him his newly married neice,
Fannie, and her husband John.
They put up at the Hotel Belding
and were treated royalty by mine host
w. p. Hetherington, the landlord, and
after breakfast they drove out to the
farm and finding the buildings sadly in
need OF repair they concluded to buy a
house and lot in .Belding and live there
until they could erect house, new
barn and out buildings on the farm.
Their first call was then made on our
hustling lumber dealer, Mr.. +. l.. Ken
dali.
"By the way" exclaimed Uncle Bill
with paternal air, "the next thing 10
look after is the lumber for those other
Improvements which are so absolutely
necessary. Come with me and III in
troduce you To my old friend, f. l..
Kendall, as am told that the tariff
is off his lumber so we will buy our
building material from him. His office
is ut his residence and his lumber yard
is at the east end of Ellis Ave, at the
old Spencer u rIIII siurue. rxei-
dali carries the most complete line Of
building material in this section OF the
county, everything from the sills for
the foundation 10 the shingles for the
roof, including doors, windows, newell
posts, mouldings and lath, fine interior
finish, etc. 1t is pleasant TO deal with
l.. l.. Kendall for his greatest aim is To
give satisfaction TO every customer, and
nearly everybody for miles around
Belding buy their lumber and building
material from him. Special attention
is given TO carload lots. Hecan supply
everything for the completion OF a
modern home.
"Now children, since we have bought
the lumber and shingles for our new
house and barn, where can we find a
carpenter 10 do the work." That's

STEAM IANNERY

T. A. Pownall, of Cumberland,
Md, and Eugene Horton, of New
York City, came here last Thurs
day night and the next day,
through A. H. Jones, purchased
the % acre lot of land belonging to
Mrs. S. A. Hansel, and lying one
half mile south of Mcdowell, be-
tween the public road and the river;
on which the United States Leath-
err Co. will erect buildings and bark
sheds for a steam tannery--work
to begin in early spring.
These same gentlemen went from
here to Franklin, w. Va, on Satur-
day, where they also bought Q lot
for a like purpose.
They returned here yesterday,
and made arrangements with some
parties to procure water rights
from Crab Run or Duff's Run.
This enterprise means much, not
only to Mcdowell, but to the whole
county, as it will give employment
to, from so to rs hands-which
means a pay roll Of 81 10000 to
50, 100000 per month.
This will furnish a market fol
some of the surplus products Of
farmers hereabput, for most OF the
tanbark in the county and Will IKE.

The first thing to be done vii
be the erection Of the bark sheds
and putting in scales. This will 81
done during the winter, SO the wori
can be pushed rapidly in the Spring

have been many options in this sec
ton, but this is a straight purchase
by men experienced in the tann'nI
business, and is the first live enter
prise for Mcdowell. X

NEW INDUSTRY,

The United States Leather Com.
pany, whose representatives have
had their eye on the batk territory
of Highland and Bath, and have
been more or less active since the
granting of our railroad charter,
has purchased a site for steam
tannery near Mcdowell, in the
Bullpasture valley.
The location is just below the
village, part of the Robert Sit
lington land, and was purchased
from Mrs B H Hansel. We are in
formed that the price paid was 81 +,
800, one hundred as a bonus, the
remainder forthcoming when con-
veyance is made.
The location is an ideal one, the
tract of % acres being mostly, or
all, level meadow land and sur
rounded by immense bark terri
tory. d
While not on the line of the pro-
posed Virginia Western, the COM
pany may have in mind other out
lets, but in the absence of some
thing more convenient, the '. W.
could be easily reached by tram
road to huntsville.
We congratulate our sister viii
lage, not only because she has the
promise of this important industry,
but that it is to be located con-
venient and desirable distance from
her. Foreign capital is going to
hunt us up, and, while looking at
ter our own interests and protec-
ton, let us extend every encour-
agement and courtesy.

The Recorder, like other hs*s'
papers along the route, Is met Oh
most daily by the question, What
ia the latest railroad news" and it
is safe to say that, if the rallroad
company was in as big hurry as
most of us, we'd hear the whistle
before Christmas. Such Impotence
and anxiety, is both natural and
pardonable, and our readers may
depend upon the Recorder to give,
as promptly as possible, any and
all authentic news.
The corps of engineers, after To-
eating the Wilson-Mountaln tunnel
as stated last week, ran the line
from the west side to a connection
with the one left off at Corbett's,
finishing their work on Friday
evening, and coming home to spend
Sunday. On Monday morning they
started via. Mcdowell, for the east
ern approach to the tunnel, and
will work toward Burnsville, Bath
Alum and Clifton Forge. Most OF
the work in that section is through
timber, the route more or less
rough. and the men will be do
ing good work to make Clifton
Forge by Christmas.
While we hope to see operations
steadily progress, partial or en-
tire cessation of active work ought
neither to occasion surprise nor
encouragement, for the rigors of our
Appalachian winters are known for
and near, and, while these delight
full days may continue, the reverse
is at any time probable, and pretty
generally looked for. To under
take extensive and elaborate field
work at this season is therefore
hardly to be expected.
Meantime, the company may be
dealing with and maturing plans
and preliminaries far more impor-
tant. With the dawn of early spring
we confidently hope for active opcr-
atoms all along the line.
Mr.. Stoutenburgh, whose invalid
wife expected to spent the winter
at Hot Springs, found it necessary
to return to the North with her,
and he is now in New York.

Tbs iafss number si rssss ro'
botted nj receiving treatment at
the various city hospitals Is at
once suggestive as to the great
need Of a local institution of that
sort. A small, well equipped hos
pital in the county would soon be-
come self-sustaining, be a boon to
our people in the saving of life, the
alienation of suffering and the min
inning of expenses incident to sur
gerry and expert treatment OF dis
ease. This is leaving out OF con-
sideration the mutual satisfaction
afforded loved ones during the crit
ical period when distance and lone
illness are among the greatest trials
of the trying hours. Like many
untried ventures, adverse conclu-
tons are reached because the
undertaking is not presented or
viewed in all it's aspects, bearings
and possibilities. 1t is safe to say
that, with hospital at Monterey
O nOiot az central and sanitary as
any in the county nine-tenths OF
all cases of sickness would be
brought here for treatment and the
increse in the percentage of cures
under modern and up-to-date treat
ment, such as hospitals afford, can
only be estimated, but would as.
suredly be considerable.
The subject is one that has often
been discussed in a formal way,
but it is live, important question,
if not present day necessity.
1t appeals to our home-loving,
humane citazens, and whether
brought about by stock company
or philanthropy, tits a consumma-
ton devoutly to be longed for,
and. if we could succeed in arousing
some interest along this line, we
would feel that we had accomplish
ed a great work for the people OF
the county.

JAMES W. LIGGETf.

James W. Liggett, who died sud-
denly on last Wednesday evening in
his room at Brown Bros, near
Durbip, W, Va, where he had for
nearly year been in charge of the
eompany's store, was buried beside
his wife at Staunton, Va, the home
of his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Lig-
gett. The services took place at
the home of his sister, Mrs. Jaseph
Barkman, conducted by Rev. D. H.
Kern, pastor Of the Southern Meth
odist church, and was attended by
all the near relatives of the deceas-
led.
The unexpected and seemingly
untimely death of this young man
has cast a gloom over Monterey, as
he was we'll known here, having
spent number of the latter years
| Of his life in our midst. He was
one who appreciated and thorough
| ly enjoyed the beauties and attrac-
tons of our little mountain town,
and the writer has heard him say
that the year or more spent in bus
mess here, as we'll as the frequent
vacations and visits, were the hap
piest of his life.
Mr.. Liggett was man of pleas
ing address, gentlemanly and re-
fined, and consequently made
friends quickly, all of whom have
been saddened since they can think
of him no more as living.
He has demonstrated his bust
ness ability by leaving the affairs
of which he had charge for Brown
Bros, in perfect shape
For many years he was a valued
employee Of Shreckhise & Bear, O
Stanton, at which time he wa
looked upon as one of the leading
dry goods men of that city, be
cause of his excellent taste, which
asemed TO be his second nature,
The trade which he drew from
Highland while with this latte
firm, spoke well for his popularlt.
