district J. was suggested to him by Gen.
Longstreet, whose army was encamped
for the winter at Morristown. East Ten
nessee, that if he should move his out
posts over the Great Smoky Mountains to
the vicinity of Newport, East Tennessee.
that Longstreets left flank would be bet
ter protected and the line of outposts on
the Confederate frontier made coptinu-
GUS.
Instead of complying literally with this
suggestion Gen. Vance determined to or
ganize a small raiding column and to
operate in East Tennessee on his own
account
With one section of artillery 1.-TWO guns,
S15 cavalry and about 100 infantry. the
latter made up mostly of half-breed In
dams of the mountains. Gen Vance
moved from Asheville on January S. Pro-
ceeding by way of Waynesville and
Quallatown, n. c., he Travelled thence to
Gatlinburg. Tenn, on the west fork Of
the Little Pigeon River.
The journey from Quallatown, which is
on the Oconaluftee River south of the
Great Smokes. to Gatlinburg, was the
most trying OF the entire trip. The noun
tains were covered by a heavy sheet Of
ice and great difficulty was experienced
in getting the horses and wagons down
the steep north slope. The wagons prac-
ucally were lowered Gown the mountain
roads by means of ropes. GatlinburE was
reached before nightfall on January L.
The raiders now were within fourteen
miles of SevierviIIe. and Gen. Vance de-
tcrmined TO visit that point, which was
well within the Federal lines. On Janu-
airy Is, leaving the bulk of the command
at Gatlinburg in command of Col W.
II. Thomas, Gen. Vance proceeded with
$50 cavalry to Sevierville. At o'clock
in the afternoon he rode into the town
and captured a train of eighteen wagons
which were en- route to Knoxville loaded
with forage.

Keeping Ivy In the House.

1t is really the simplest process in the
world to keen ivy aliv in the house in
winter. and il is classed among the 4,
y. C's of plant cIlture. The secret is TO
keep the cSGts exposed. and for this rea-
son they SHOULD be kept IN clear glass
and consequently placed where the sun
light can a. upon them.
Clippings may be made ranging from
half to three-quarte-s Of a yard In
length. These should b. placed in clear.
cool waite, which should be changed
twice a week. The leaves should be
sponged. ana thus KEEP: in a beautiful,
bright. glossy condition.
One of tn rgettiest IDEAS for arranging
the ivy is in a small glass basket. They
are plentiful in the shop and are reason
ably priced. The ivy may be easily
trained to .rair ground the handle of the
basket.

LURE OF THE IMITATION GEM

In a day when even multi-mililonaires
wives and daughters wear imitation gems
nobody is ashamed to speak of theiI
cheap jewelry. Certainly. any girl pos
scss.d OF common sense would be glad
TO have one of the really beautiful and
artistic neck chains OF slenderest silver
links. supporting a lovely locket of imi-
tation inIays. No more expensive and
equally alluring are the necklaces OF
smoked amber. imitation moonstones,
sapphires or emeralds: the lorgnette
chains in silver. gold or gun. broken at
intervals with ornamental jeweled bars.
or the .'near-pearl" strings to which may
be attached lockets of the same sort OF

various clever limitations in gems are also
set In the Colonial-shaped buckles of
metal worn on afternoon house slippers,

shape ana materials used as snIrJwaIsI

NUNS and sfoles.

Mufrs and stoles take unto themselves
this year the most unexpected and
strange forms maginable-althoUgh these
fanciful shapes are, We must admit. not
without their charm. The straight scarf
is altogether old. This winter the scarf
must lie OF the ''palatine" shape which 81
pleased our grandmothers in the year
1870. This ''palatine." which follows
strictly the line of the shoulders, forms a
pointed or square hood. finished with tas-
sells and fringe. A new style Of wearing
the stole is to sew it in the middle to a
certain height. leaving an opening to pass
the left arm through.

Arriving at Shnltz Mill about i o'clock

courier from Lieut.. Col Henry, saying
that upon consultation with Col. TfDmas

Mountain. Thus the $50 men under Gen.

The appearance of the Confederate
raiders at Seviervile had set the ma

The Confederates were panic-stricken
and made no fight at all. Gen. Vance
escaped from the house where he was
taking dinner and managed to cross the
creek, but as he was endeavoring to get
to the advance guard, he was captured.
Col Palmer wrote that the raiders fed
in the utmost disorder, throwing away
their guns, belts, blankets, and saddle
bags and most of them abandoning their
horses.

wrote, including Brig. Gen. Vance and

Realizing that he could not move the

Immediately turned about and marched

The Department OF Commerce has dis.

each bale, the monetary loss reaches the
huge sum of $4,000. 900. The actual loss
