one realizes that those arc scenes
which will never bc enacted in this

Though this sketch of the pioneer
days of Po@dcrly is very meager and
incomplete, the reader will have to
depend entirely on his Imagination
for the history. of the people, for the
fifteen years following the arrival OF
W. NJ. Eaves in 1915. That nc

a hundred years ago the village
known as Powderly was unheard of.
Trackless forests then met the eye
instead of muddy streets; the dinner
horn was heard instead Of the mine
whistle, and a "woodsy" odor filed
the air instead of the fumes Of sui
phur.
Swiftly the seasons have come and
gone since then, each bringing its
changes, still the hills which shelter
the village remain almost as they
were when the red man received in
spiration from their beauty and SUI
blimity. Time has only made more
luxuriant the wild vines which climb
there in rank profusion and more
abundant the fragrant Aowers which

MAKING BARN SANITARY.
Good light. Pure Air and General
Cleanliness Essential.

Dairy experts agree that the essen
tials of a good dairy barn arc plenty
OF light. pure air and &C little filth as
possible. There are but few barns
that cannot be transformed into rea.
sonably sanitary stables at moderate
expense.
lt is not difficult to put in extra
windows. and every stable for dairy
cows should have windows that will
admit direct sunlight on bright days
and at least one 3x3-foot window
should be put in for each two stalls.
The frame must fit tight. so as TO Sc
cure protection during cold weather.
Arrangements should be made for
opening these for ventilation. Make
walls tight by putting in an inside
wall of thin lumber, if necessary filling
the space between with cut straw OF

A few old fashioned flowers, a bit
of shrubtery, some broken brick
and two cedars, now mark the spot
where stood until recent years, the
oldest house of which anything
definite is known. The old Snod
grass brick as it was called has long
been a familiar object to the travel
er of the Greenville and Central
City road. 1t was built by one
John Reno of Virginia, who with
his wife crossed the Blue Ridge,
1907. He was school teacher,
but why he left his early home and
came to this undeveloped country is
mystery. He taught school at
Nelson Creek and at the old Belle
school house, long since fallen in
ruia. His wife died shortly after
their arrival
Lonely indeed must have been the
life of that old pioneer, of whom so
little is known, when not engaged
in training the young idea to shoot.
At that time the Indians hunting
ground was not bereft of its game
squirrels played in the trees, vthe
wild fox dug his hole unscared and
the rank thistle nodded in the wind. "

place, three miles east of Powderly,

it was not always convenient for her
TO GO TO the office and get the money

kept it himself. In all be stole about
$500. He wen. into business as a

sibly fearing detection, he sold the
store and invested the money in
four tracts of land in Kentucky, two
of which were on the Big Clifty, and
the other two in what is now Muhl-
