FLOOD GETTING RESULTS.
Secures Much Money for Buildings in
Tenth District.

Clifton Forge, Va, Feb. 21.-For
the completion of the postoffice build-
ing in Covington, Congress has just
appropriated $4,000. Some years ago
Congress appropriated a large sum of
money for a public building in Cow
ington and a part OF it was used for
the purchase of a lot though no ac-
tual building was begun. This extra
money is an indication that work
will commence at an early date. Con-
gressman Flood has secured an ap-
preparation for public building
in every town and city in the Tenth
District large enough to justify the
expenditure. When Mr.. Flood became
member of Congress, Staunton was
the only point in the Tenth District
possessing a government building.
Now there is one in Clifton Forge
and Lexington, and bright prospects
for one each in Covington and Way
nesboro.

CHANGE is WANTED.
Many Bristol Citizens Work for Com
mission Form Of Government.

Bristol, Va, Feb. 21.-Just now the
question of commission form OF mu-
nicipal government for Bristol, Tenn,
is live issue. With the proposition
to amend the city charter so as to
provide for such a form of govern
ment now pending before the Legisla-
ture, and with the last Saturday in
March set as the day upon which the
citizens are to vote upon the issue,
there is ample opportunity for discus
sion, and already there is much in
quiry and much speculation. 1t is
not certain that majority will read
lily jump for a chance to Try the new
form of government However, there
is a healthy sentiment in favor of the
proposed change.

PRESENTED WITH PISTOLS.

Jas. r. Harman, resident of Alex
andria. Va, while on visit to rela-
tives in Martinsburg, W. Va, few
davs ago was presented with two re-
volvers. one a beautiful carved colts
that shoots ball exploded by cap
the other was the type of gun used
bv men in the John Brown lnsurrec-
ton at Harpers Ferry, ". Va, in 1858.
The latter gun was captured by Mr..
VIM. Ettinger native Of Martins
burp. W. Va, in a hand to hand con-
flict with one of John Brawn's men
on Boliver Heights, w. Va, just above
the Forts. Mr.. Ettinger's life was
saved in this conflict only by his
fighting ability as when the gun was
thrust in his face the hammer was
knocked from the gun by a sabor in
the hands of Mr.. Ettlnger which al
lowed him to capture both the man
and gun. Mr.. Ettinger priced these
guns very highly but finding a friend
in Mr.. Harman made him a present
of them.

INTERESTING FIND.
Curious Mound Discovered Near
Electric Dam on Brubaker's
Farm.

Luray, Va, Feb. 21.-Near the
electric dam on S. P. A. Brubaker's
farm, is to be seen what is perhaps
the grave of red man. when that
tribe held sway in this valley before
the paleface drove these war-like
ones from their happy hunting
grounds. The mound is on one of the
high hills about two hundred yards
north of the Electric Dam, and is On
land that has never been cultivated
within the memory of the oldest In
habitants. Inspection forces the
conclusion that the place IS either an
upheaval of nature or the nandl-
work of a man at a time which no
recor dean be obtained. On the grave
large number of rocks are set up,
showing that it is the resting place OF
a red man, it was thus marked by his
survivors of the bow and arrow and
tomahawk tribe. Who can tell! Like
the one of Nebo, mountain breeze
and rivers murmur has pierced the
silence for perhaps centuries! Who
can tell the story the mound holds
or peep into it's depths might un-
fold?
Additional color is given the idea
that this is the resting place OF some
red man when it is known that 1t IS
within sight of the terrible tragedy
that was enacted by the red man on
George r. Bauserman's farm, Where
the Roads family was slaughtered
by the Indians.
