acres of tiie, finest ttrhbet' land in Ten

ha the valleys and along the top of
the Smoky mountains. He saw . the
wonaerrui resources of the- land if the
timber could be. gotten out! No railroad
could: be" builit through' there - and he
conceived the idea of building a canal
from' the headt of Little river arid, the
branches of Middle and West fork to a
fpoinUknowa as Gainlble's store, and
floating the lumber, bark, etc.V thereJa
me ssoutnern will ouild an extension

build . a tannery t Gamble's store,
which will cost $lW,t)00, and in connec

move their large lumber mills, now
situated at Rockfordi, to Gambles "store,
and will place several smaller mills at
different points along the canal.
The canal will be fifty. . miles long
when completed and wilt cost $150,000
in construction alone. . Work" has al
ready been commenced.- England &
Bryan will disburse $40,000 a" year for

ing timber to transport it to. railroad
connections at rates named by the
canal company. The headquarters of
the company will be at Marysvllle, and
C. T. Boyer, will have direct charge of
affairs. . .. ' . ,
. To Col. Lincoln is due the credit for
the" organization- of the company, as he
is the original promoter. He has spent
a great deal of time and money in get
ting, things in the present shape. He
has made many trips to the north, and
Ta great many more into Tennessee in

marne now appeairs lm Ithe dictionary to
describe a boastful aini& bombastic form
of speech. Colonel Buncombe1 was a"
niative of the island of St. Kltts, in the
WesH Itnddes, and came over to Whls
country abouit 1760', tlakJing up a - large
fcraot of Hand to Tyrrell county and
buifidfimg' upon. t a historic intneion
knowmi as Buncombe Hall, which lis still
stiaridlng. Over its ttospttaible doors he
inscribed the legend:
Welcome All
To Buncombe Hall.
He brought wflith Mm tfrom St. Kitts a
chaplain), a phystelan, a shepherd for his
efflieep, a superintendent for Ms farm, a
miameiger for btits sltock, more than two
hundred slaves atoid! a rare collection of
silver plate, portraits, furniture and
othr valuables. .
Has &destt daughter was eenit to school
New York cfity, where she became ac
quainted with Peter Goelet, tbe ances
tor of the Goeleit mWlLonaftres,' and mar
ried him. The Goelets were Huegue
nots who left France sifter the reyoca,

was hung besSde' the Buncombe ' arms
on tbe walla of the Bun-combe ' maa
sion. They were paicited upco the
panels of itihe family cotacU'taicd engraved
upon, the -fom&ly silver.
The origin of he .word "buncombe" Is
fenaced to a member of Congress from
thait county wfho was notorious for "hifa
'luitinr" htarangues, and particuJarly for
bombastic eulogies of Oottcinct Buncombe
arJJ the county whidh bears his came.
One day. While ne wais making a speech, '
he was interrupted by anotiher member,
who wanted Kid secure consaderaAion or
some Important .business, amd declared
the member from North Carolina wa
