;+BAT CAVE RUMBL1NGsA

Since wrote last there's been quite
a lot of buying and trading done. For
instance, T. w. Freeman let w. s.
Freeman have mountain tract of
land, consisting of about ten acres.
The land lies well, and on a fairly good
mountain road, is set in well selected
apple and peach trees, and just begin
ming to produce fruit. This land was
given for three medium sized lots, but
in a very prominent location, on the
Charlotte and Asheville highway. So
that accounts for the difference in size,
as land along the highway, is land sure
enough now.
We are so glad to say that out OF
the four escaped convicts, three have
been captured, and are in service for
the State again, one being captured in
the eastern part of State, and two in
West Virginia. As hard as it is to go
through the roads, cliffs, etc., in our
mountains, they seemed to have made
coed headway in escaping. The camp
here is managed so systematically,
with good guards, and Capt. J. E. Hos
kins being wide awake fellow, rem
ders it very difficult for them to ever
try to plan an escape We think thai
viii be the last attempt.
Mr.. Dobson Freeman is visiting rel
atives here, after three years service
