A young man giving his name as G.
W. Inscor from Marion, X.C., enlivened
the air on the oth with a romance
which was interesting as well as im
probable, lie says that his brother John
a miner, was authorized not long ago
by one Charles Austin.of Asheville,N C.
to proceed down the Tennessee until he
came to a blulF answering the descrip
tion written on a 4 way bill' left to Mrs.
Austin by her father, Mr. Uoon?, on
his death bed. The narrative claimed
that in time far past Borne had hidden
six thousand in gold coin and one
thegand dollars north of gold dust. The
hiding place described corresponded
with the ledge in the face of Paint
Jtock bluff, sixteen miles below Gun
tersville. So the story goes that this
Johu Inscor stopped and tapped face of
the bluff two hundred feet above the
water until on July 4th he struck a
cemented recess, which soon yielded to
the blows of his hammer and revealed
a small sheet iron box containing the
treasure as al'eged.The narrator claims
that John Inscor left on the 6th for
Asheville with the treasure. Gunters

IV o Such Trouble In Marion.
Wo clip the following from the
Bryson City Times, and commend
it to the careful consideration of
our citizens:
"Next Monday the officers of the
Western Carolina Lumber compa
ny leave on a prospecting tour for
Marion, and intermediate points.
"The object of the trip is the de
termination of the location of the
big wood-working plant 6on to be
erected and operated by this enter
prising company.
"Vice-President Morrow is au
thority for the statement that the
first and most substantial wishes
of tho company were to establish
the industry in Hrvson City, but
repeated efforts in that direction
have proven so futile that the idea
ot locating hero is almost aban
doned.
"Said Mr. Morrow yesterday,
"all the owners of available pro
perty have been asked and begged
to sell us sufficient ground upon
which to erect our plant, and to
sell it upon terms Ilia t at least
bear some Indications of reasona
bleness, but the prices charged
have been so very exorbitant that
locating' where we have hoped to
establish ourselves is now beyond
reason "
If a representative of this com
pany comes to Marion he should
offered such inducements that
they cannot afford to go elsewhere.
v'e have every advantage for such
a plant, and if this company wants
to locate at this point the land will
be given them and other induce
ments: offered.
