And all of this is hy way of introduction to a "roast" vp have in store for the Southern for the way it treated a bunch of travelers last Sunday night. Ye editor had been down on a visit to Ids mother at Klkiin. and was r-tu miliar home on the night train. As many as two dozen other jmopV were comir.fr this way and of course every one was anxious to tret home. Some 1 1 :i I Kick folks here, some had little children waiting for their re turn, and some hnd important nee it to their interest to make the netted improvements. There L -evidently no relief from the Railroad Cominifion. There might be uorme chance if our solicitor would draw a bill against the Southern Itail way Company for maintaining a nuiwinee in the wiay of a road bed tliat is dangerous to life and limb a well aa to private pro perty. If we can not get the Company for niuiHance it is our last resort. That Mysterious Letter. (At the request of the editor of The News Rev. T. II.

There w being circulated throughout the country a letter, which hi alleged to have been written by Christ just after the crucifi ion, signed by the Angel (iabriel ninety-nine years after .the birth of Christ and placed by him under a rock at the foot of the cross, which rock was ac cidentally turned over finally by a little child, the letter thu.s being- brought to the notice of the public. The letter us poorly writ ten and disconnected, and is a medley of cuininaiidimenta, ex hort at ions, threats, and promises. jt even promise prosperity and loiifg Life to those who nuiy have it in their possession, and threat ens misfortune and calamity to the who refuse to publish and circulate it. This letter seems to jiave excited some little curios ity amoirg some people in Surry County, as a number of requests have come to The News to pub lish it. It seems that some peo ple really think tbiat some dread ful calamitv will reallv befall busings to look after carlv Moji- them, unless they get it pui.i:sv.- dav mornirlg. Dr. J. "W. Long.
