THE PO SIBIL [TIBS OF STOKE-? |
■COUNTY, IIKR MINERALS, TIM-j
HER, ETC.
There is h«rdly a section tn the south
•combining so many natural advantages j
if»r manufacturing, especially for m.lll
- iron of a high grade as the |
scope of country just around Danb-iry [
"with more than fifty miucs of magnetic 1
iron ere in an area of less than live!
miles square, eoal bnt ten uiilos awuy,
lime on every side, manganese one and
5 miles from the iron, fire clsy one to j
two milet, good stone for furnace hearth*
near by while the hills and valleys arc '
covered with the finest oak, hickory, j
beeeb, and other timbers for charcoal!
and mechanical purposes and asbestos, j
.graphite, flexible sandstone and many i
other minerals posossing more or less j
commercial value are found at uiauy !
,places in the county ail convenient to'
streams whioh furnish magnificent water
,powcr- Then considering the mild i
beslthlulaess of the climate the grcund |
ijf rarely covered with snow three days j
logatber, and but few days in Summer i
-does the uiercnry reach the nineties.
Danbury is in the very midst of a score i
or more mineral springs surrounded by
grand stenery and tanned by puro
mountain breei-s all combining to make
ithia one of the healthiest sections in the
lUnited Sutes Considering these and
otheradvuntagei win will say that the
possibilities of Stokes are not very
great. For the farmer tho soil is pro
ductive, there is hut comparatively little
labd if properly cul'ivated before it is
morn out but will produce good heavy
-tobacco; the grapes aud marly all the
grains do well here when properly cul
tivated.
DON'T 1)0 IT.
Nearly cvciy larmer you talk with
lliese days says he is going to spread
bims«lf on a tobacco crop next yenr.
For your good and llic good of the conn"
try, we say don't do it. Remember
that big crop of tobacco and having ev
erything else to buy brought starva
tion almost to the very doors f many of
our people during the last three or four
years,almost bankrupting the country.
Don't forget a big crop ot tobacco meat's
low prioes for the tobacco and higli prices
/or bread, do not plant just what com
you think will Jo you if the season is
good, it may be dry or wot, and you will
oot make half enough; plant plxnty of.
«ern and other things (o do your family |
and then make all the tobacco you can J
work aud handle nicely; it will bring
mere money than a large crop badly (
managed, and if you make all you need j
at home when you sell your tobacco the ,
money will be your?. It is much better
to get $;>00 for 1000 pounds of tobacco
than SIOO foi 5000 pounds.
Some "would be somebody" has
baa wade the assertion that iron oro
doea not exist iu quantities cast of the
Blue Ridge Mountains. Such talk is au
absurd thcorv, nonsense. Iron has
been mined in the section just North
of Danbury for a number of b/onmcries
and two furnaces for near ono hun f'.jd
years and now a number of regular
fiaaure veins, real solid ludgus or walls
of good magnetic ore five to eight feet
thick can be shown it a number of
plaee* and old minors say that in the old
works veins at more than one place fif
teen feet thick only forty or lixty feet
from tie aurfacc have been abandoned*
eitaply because they eould get the ore
required easier at some oilier place near;
by.

Old Virginia is having an abundance
of good luok in 18S7. First, Mahone
was sat .lown upon in the leccnt State
election, thus wresting the State from
the grasp of perhaps tho in"st vindic
tiTe, selfish and detestable political
trickster thut ever disgraced tho com
monwealth, and now the Supreme Court
of.the Uoiltid States ban made Judge
lioud too flat aud thin for any use, as
will be seen in the news fiom Washing
ton winch wo print elsewhere. It is
perhaps needless to say that if Mahone
was dead as the result uf the lat« elec
tion, ho is now decently buried ill the re
versal of Judge Bond's decision. Wo
congratulate the good old commonwealth
ou this very important legal decision.
Let them light their Bond-fires and re
joico and thank God for their deliver
ance.— Workman.
FKIENDS IN NEED
Although boys lire often rxther turd
iu their trextiuent af each other, they
certainly slick together when one of their
party is m trouble. There are hun
dreds of instances of this, but a uiost a
musing one occurred while I>r. Vaughn
was head luas'or of Harrow School in
Knglaud. He was returning late one
evening from a dinnei party, when he
caught sight of one o( bis pupils who
was taking a walk when he ovght to
have boon in bed. The moment the boy
saw Dr. Vaughn he ran for his life. Off
started the mastor in hot pursuit, and he
just succeeded in seiting his pupil by the
coat-tail. After a good many struggles
the boy neaped, but he left part of his
' coat-tail in ihe doctor's hands. The
; master made sure he would fiud ths cul
' prit the next morning by his. coat, but
when he entered school every boy in the
[sixth ferm had ooly one tail to his coat:
[so tlio offeuder escaped punishment.—

I live in the midst of the milari.il dis
tricts of Maryland, near the city of
Washington, and am exposed to all the
dangerous mlUtences of the impure ait
and water of that region.
Being naturally of a strong consti
tution, I hail frequently boasted that
no chills and fever or other malarious
complaint would ever trouble me.
This was my experience ami the con
dition in which 1 found myself six
months ago. 1 first noticed that I did
«ot feel so sprightly and vigorous as
was my wont to do. I felt tired and
enervated.. Soon I noticed a distinct
and distressing back ache would make
its appearance in the afternoon, in
creasing in severity if the exercise was
more than usually violent. Then a
stretchy feeling with profuse gaping
made its appearance. Then my head,
always clear as a bell, would feci heavy
and I began to have headaches.
The cokl stage was marked with chat
tering of the teeth, severe rigors passed
over tnc,%nd no amount of clothing
could keep me warm. The chill was
succeeded in turn by the fever, in which
I seemed to be burning tip, the con
gestion in my head produced a violent
pain in the frontal portion and a heat
ed sensation of the eyelids, with an in
describable aching of the lower limbs.
Nausea and vomiting occurred with
severe retchings, and when the parox
ysms passed oft" 1 was thoroughly pros
trated by a weakness that was felt in
every part of me.
I drugged myself with quinine, and
obtained some relief. But my respite
was of brief duration. 1 was now so
much reduced that I could hardly walk
or stand upright. My disease soou
culminated in a continued malarial fe
ver which kept me closely confined for
ibout a week. I became exceedingly
impressed and melancholy, no much so
hat I lojt interest in my work, and,
ndood, scarcely caitxl what luppc«ed
to n>e.
l>uriii|[ all this time, it must 1* u»
lerstood that I did not neglect medical
treatment. AH the most powerful
remedies were tried, such a* liquid ar
senal* of )>otash, valerianic of iron,
mercury, bromide of po'dsii'im, chlo
ride of bismuth, chinoidiiM.*, -l.incbooi
dia,.qmume and soverij other*. All
this ! did under ilu ux of eiuioont
physicians.
It was while I wfca in this
condition that I lit cUims tivult fot
Kaskine, the new quinine, a* a specif*
for malaria, were first brought to mv
attention. 1 knewnothins-of its value
to justif) my hafing any confidence in
it, but as everything else had failed I
deemed it my duty to try it, so I liegnn
its use, and its prompt and radical ef
fects were of civ nature of a revelation
to me. Many people may think the
statement scarcely credible, but it is a
fact that after only a few H.jys' use of
Kaskine all the leading symptoms in
my case were decidedly abated or
ceased altogether; and in a few weeks
from the time I took the first do&e I
was ctircd.
This was about the first of January,
and since then I have experienced no
i recurrence of the malarial symptoms
lin any form. A remedy of such ex
; | ceptional virtue for the cure of malaria
ought to be commended and univer
i sally made known. I have therefore
urged it upon tie attention of my
friends, several of whom have used it
with like pood results in every case,
and it is with Ihi greatest pleasure
and sincerity that I commend Kaskine
to sufferers from malaria everywhere.
