ED. ADVANCE:—We are having a very beautiful fall. We have had bat little rain yet, not sufficient to make the land soft enough to be easily plowed. Yet many farmers are well along with their work. This is a hard country for me to understand. Even after 5£ years of residence here 1 can not under stand it much better than when 1 arrived here and looked around. Farmers seem to get a fair price for some of their produce, and yet few of them seem to prosper. Many of them want to sell all the land they have, but they do not want to give it away. They want from 30 to 125 dollars per nere for lauds upon which they failed to make a living themselves. This city is in deed a beautiful one, nearly a true level and has many magnificent business houses, churches and dwel lings It is also full of fruit trees of wry -many kinds. Nut trees, vines and shrubery. The streets are wide Mid straight and graveled. The sidewalks are good. It is lighted with electricity. It its edge stands a butte covering,perhaps 100 acres, and is, I should guess, two or three hundred feet high upon which is our water reservoir. We have street cars. The State Udi versity and two very fine graded schools. We have about teu church baildings, and best of all mauy good devout christians and an ex cellent society. I never was in such a city before. People in from a distance leave loaded wagons on the streets over night anywhere with safety. Although we have saloons, I seldom see a persou un under the influence of drink. The M. E. Church has about 350 mem bers. The Presbyterian about 200. The Christian [called Campbell ite] body is also strong here. The Baptists, United Brethren, and Congregationalists have buildings and large memberships. The Cath olios are also strong in numbers. With all the beauties and advan tages of this fine city there are drawbacks. There is uot work suf ficient to employ the people. I do not know where a man could get one days* work, or how one could make a dollar. Many have gone back east, the worse for having come west Others wish to go back. The city contains many empty houses because there is no employ ment We have many needy peo ple and how they will get through I can not tell. We have speculators who delight in finding new comers to whom they can sell something, whether worth auythiug or not Property is lower than it was three years ago, and is high enough yet Taxes are high. Wheat is worth about Q5 cents: oats 40 hay $10 per ton potatoes 75c per bus. eggs 30c per doe butter 20 to 25c per lb. Cattle and horses worth very little. Our Democrats had a grand time on Saturday night They had torch light procession. They had 5 brass bands aad a crowd of sev eral thousands, mostly Republi cans, I think, as Oregon went Re publican easy. Some of the Dems got a little full of joy—or some thing else—but then they do not often get a chance to celebrate a victory. 1 '. -T—^ •••-'. KUaiVb THURSDAYS —AT— ,/ »jMr, 7&cts. tlx mos.

The people in the eastern portion of Claiborne County, Tenn.," are excited jver a remarkable occurrence which took place there not long ago. It is one of tho most marvelous occurreiicos Oier heard of, and it will prove to be a prob lem over which scientific minds may wrestle for somo time to como. Edgar Ramsey is a farmer n*ho lives five miles from Lick Skillet. lie ar rived in Middlcsboro recently. Tho story ho told would not find, believers at. first, but since then it has been proven that be has told nothing but the truth. His statement is thus reported ly a corre spondent of tho St. Louis Olobo-Demo* crat: "Last Sunday afternoon I noticed what appeared to be a large green-look ing cloud coming from a westerly direc tion toward tny house. It watt a long distance oil. and the rain was falling heavily. Shortly afterward it liecamo very cold, in fact so cold that I wont in loors, lit a big fire and put on a big 'loavy coat. When I came out again tbo jig green cloud was almost over thn touse, and the air was as cold as on a .viator da}*. The- wind iiov.ied a,ndHho tail fell in stones as big as eggs. All uhis lasted twenty minutes, und then tbo iky cleared up and 1 felt more liko ray jclf again,, "An hour after 1 was sitting with my wife near the flro when I hoard a liorso galloping at full speed, and v.-hen I went out to soo who it was there stood Jako Warren, a neighbor farini who lives about a mile and a quarter from me. He .vas as palo as a ghost and was trembling ill over. It took him over ten minutes commcnco to tell me what ho bad to r.y, and as he was talking I thought ho ./as crazy. '•Ho stated that a big green cloud had one over his place, and that something hich looked like balls of tiro bad fallen .11 around his house. He had 11 vo .cros of corn growing in afield next to .ho house. Aftor tbo storm had cleared 1 way bo went to soe what damage had lieon done. He saw that some corn had been blown down, and, entering the field, he found every stalk turned to stone. There were two flno hogs in tho ileld, and they, too, were petrified and standing there as if cut out of solid rock. Myself and wife thought tho man was raring mad, but induccd him to remain ver till morning, when we promised to visit his placo with him. That we did, and what we saw will bo remem bered so long as both livo. There was ^10 corn blown down, but every stalk of it «•(. petrified. It was not as hard as granite, but it appeared to be moro like oft stone. I took my knife and cutit,and it becamo powder. Tho cars were very hard, and they oould not be broken with tho hand. The leaves were brittle, and and if you struck them thoy would break iiko glass. Tho hogs were there, too, looking natural enough, but thoy were as hard a« stone." George E. Henry, of this city, John Rogers, Captain John B. Hull, ox-dep uty marshal, and soveral others rode over the mountains into Tennessco to see for themselves if tho things were really there as represented. Captain Hull, ex-United States deputy marshal, makes the following statement: "Wo went over this morning. I doubted the story on starting, but thought I'd try it, anyhow. Wo found Warren's farm about seven miles from the Gap, and there, sure enough, was vthe corn-field completely petrified. The stalks were somewhat blown down, but they seemed completely turned to stone. Tbo two hogs were there also, and they looked like they were carved out of rock. It was the strangest sight I ever saw and I can't begin to describe the thing. There were a number of men guanling the field with Winchester rifles and. they wouldn't let us go into it. They only let us go to the fence. We could touch some of tho corn stalks and could see the hogs, but the men re fused positively to let us go any further than the fence. The women wouldn't say why they wonld not let people go into the field, but I presume they were afraid people would break the oora stalks to pieces. There was quite crowd there looking at tho thing, and every one was thoroughly dumfounded with what tbey saw." This statement is vouched for by number Of others, and naturally there ll1 considerable exeitoment. AITTOIIIATIO MIWIHO KACHIHB! Prices reduced.
