the South Mountains, was in town a few
days since. He is over eighty years old,
but is still stout, hale and hearty and can
kill a squiirel out of the tallest tree with a
rifle and without spectacles. He climbed
the flag-pole at the celebrated Henry Clay
massj meeting in Morganton in 2844 and
drank a health to Clay from the top of the
pole, a distance of eighty feet from the
ground, ne accomplished the same feat
at the-Seymour and Blair barbecue in Mor
ganton in 1869, and the eld man was ex

as there was none erected. Mr. Fair never
