| BLUE RIDGE |
PEAKING of New YearV
said the Nevadlan, 1 always
call to znlod this time of year
A. 1 the blowoff we boys give a
i young doctor chap who came
i op to Bhie Ridge just at the time that
. camp was the liveliest to which I might
1 add that though the days of the Ridge
' waa few in the land, as the book ssys,
' while It did last there was no camp oo
| the Pacific slope from .^uget sound to
t the Rio Grande that cftnld furnish as
much fen In a week as transpired In
Blue Ridge every twenty-four hours. |
"But the sport didnt need no modi- ,
cine. It waa not aa you might say. a
sickly neighborhood, which It seems
SSL I
nutnxo uxnuss fob m dootob.
' peculiar to remark, seeing aa how we <
> bad tbe most likely looking graveyard.
' considering tbe population, as yon
> weald find in all tbe Sierras. But tbe '
| cents as populated tbe graveyard waa
1 mostly a lively and bealtby lot up to 1
1 and inclusive oC tbe moment of tbeir
> demise. i
"That's what tbe boys was speaking
of when tbe doctor came into camp.
| "Long BUI remarked to me that tbe
boys wbo waa hurt ought to make an
' effort to but until the doctor could ar> >
! rive, which would give him a legal
1 claim on any dust they might leave. <
! He was just tbe kind of a chap for tbe
camp if so tt bad been that there waa
, any trade for him, for be waa quiet,
' nervy, bad more book learning than
, the editor and waa cheerful and obUg|
ing, especially obliging, for be preached
1 a beautiful sermon over tbe late dealer
; at tbe faro bank, though tbe said dealer
i had died of hie wounda before Doc ar>
i rived.
I "BWW hub u nun we uugut iu kin
down In the valley where they were all
! shaking eternally with malaria and lmI
port a bunch of the shaken for Doc to
| practice on and pay him so much for
the cleanup. Ho laughed when we
; proposed this and said It would be un,
professional, because he knew the party
1 as had the practice In the valley.
"Then we proposed that thereafter,
1 any party dying of his wounds before
the Doc could arrive, the said party's
1 effects should be levied upon for a fee
. to be paid to Doc.
"All the boys agreed to that, and we
i got so worked up over the prospect that
| a disagreement resulted that very
night. In which a Wells-Fargo shotgun
messenger blew all the Latin parts out
! of a friend with a ten gimge dock gun, 1
' which the eame, for purposes of stage ]
robbers, was of a sawed off character. <
The party as was shot wss mostly '
I missing between his hips and Ite cheat; '
> the remains being only two-thirds, but
ws joyfully sent for Doc Just the seme.
"Well, he came, and when be saw the
state of the case he said as he wssnt
an undertaker be couldnt be of any
service.
"Then we told him of the new rule ,
and offered him the pile of the de1
ceased, which was In a canvas nek
behind the bar. He wooldat take it,
; not even a sample for assay, and the
disappointment of the boys was sad to
see, especially the shotgun messenger,
. whose intentions had done honor to his
bsart and aim.
"It was a few days before New
Tear's that the editor showed as a
piece In a San Francisco paper, which
was a kind of local notice, stating that
oar Doc was going to be married to a
lady in that city. That sets as think- 1
| lng. and we thought hard** than ever
when the Doc tells us tbtt be waa go*
1 lng to leave us on New Year's day to
take op bis practice in 8an Francisco.
' We held a meeting and discussed the
state of affairs, having a pretty good
, idea of bow the land lay fliisnrislly
with Doc, because his money was on ,
1 deposit with the express agent and he
waa chairman of oar meeting. i
"Will a* mAPtlnir va bid ant a.
'plan that worked aa slick as a dla- 1
mood drill. On the day before New 1
' Sear's Doe was sent for by Long BUI, ,
who told bin bis old rbemnatls was i
working again like a forty stamp I
quarts mill. Doc prescribed, and |!
when Bill asked what was the ante I'
Doc said It weald be $5. BUI said he'd <
-' A ,i-aJ _
hand It to blm when he bid him good*
by at th?? stage office next day. Then
I sent for IHk- and said that old bullet
wound in my leg was on strike again,
took ray prescription and promised to
pay next day.
"I don't suppose any doctor in the
world ever bad as busy a day aa oars
did that day. It seemed like every
man in camp was sick. There was
trouble about noon because the boys
ran out of names of dlsgpscs, but I
went up to Doc's office and copied out
a lot of names from one of bis books,
and then we kept things booming.
Some of the younger boys got stuck
on the names of sicknesses I dealt out
to them to make a choice from and
played the whole deck, which seemed
to puxxle Doc somewhat
"Well, the next day we met and
marched around to the stage about
starting time, and there was Doc,
looking a little worried, but he looked
a lot more surprised when be saw all
11IB yutnui Pi uiuisii.
"We gave him a scndoff and an en elope.
"Did yon ask \ ras In the envelope?
I dlsremember the odd dollars,
bat It was enough over $5,000 to leave
him that clear after be had paid his
expenses down to the bay."?New

HOLIDAY PECORATION8.
OM FmUoiH Omu Wm R?i?
marj, Ivy mat Bay.
The old fashioned holiday greens
were rosemary, ivy and bay, but In
the 2,000 tons of wreathing and decorating
material which it is estimated
that we now use every year there is
a much greater variety. Best loved of
all is the glossy red berried holly.
"Holm" was the old English name for
It and It la thought to be Identical
with the "greenwood tree" of Britlah
DaKIh U/uul fanu On
our side of the Atlantic the American
bolly, Ilex opaca, is found from Maine;
where it grows as a shrub, to North
ind 8outb Carolina, where it lifts a
symmetrical cone of dark, shining
leaves set with scarlet berry clusters
ilong a beautiful trunk of gray and
iilver to the height of seventy or eighty
feet
Delaware and Maryland are usually
credited with furnishing the best
grades of bolly to the holiday market,
but their "Three X" brand, as seen
Ifter shipment to northern cities, Is not
o finely berried aa the Carolina bolly,
plentiful in the regions around AshevUku?Country
Life In America.
Hew Year's Calls.
New Year's calling in New York was
purely the outgrowth of an early
Dutch custom, yet strangely enough
many of the descendants of the early
Dutch settlers fought against the continuance
of a practice which they declared
had long since passed beyond
the bounds to which the fathers limited
it and had been made the excuse
for great excesses on a day which
ought to be given over to the farming
of good resolutions.
In the early dsys of Manhattan Island
the male Dutch settlers every
New Tear's day started out aa a matter
of duty to visit the bouses of all
their friends. The good wives who received
them were arrayed in their Sunday
finest and bad bowls of steaming
hot punch upon the "best room" table.
The latter day Dutch descendants denied
the punch and said it was coffee.
The irreverent latter day champions at
New Tear's calling denied the punch
also and told their opponents that their
forefathers woald not know a punch
If they saw It and that tbej dradk
nothing bat 111 smeillng hot gin.
Whatever it waa that the good burghen
drank, they succeeded in calling
within the compass of the day upon
very family of any note on Manhattan
Island.

alitor Ptcm and Banner:
A few nigbls ago 1 heard a conversion
relative to tbe growth of tobacco
] Ibis State, suggesting thoughts
'hlcb I think worth making public.
The conversation waa between two
raveling men,suggested by oneaakiug
tie other boar was bia trade. The rely
was that bis trade waa line In (he
lantern part of the State?In the toacco
section. He said that where toacco
was grown successfully in the
tale there waa no such thing as strinency
in the money market." He also
lated, and I have beard experts fay,
hat tobacco could be ?uccee?fuliy
rown in this section. That climatic
auditions are favorable, and io many
laces ibe ?*oil well adapted to the
rowtb of tobacco. If this is true why
n we not undertake the culture of
>bacco on a limited scale? It is not
n uncommon thing in Florence, Dsrngton
and tiumter for a man to clear
lousands of dollar* on lees land than
man can work in cotton with one
orse. Fresh sandy lauds are best
Japted to the growth of tobacco, but
ny sandy land with clay subsoil, well
irtilized, will produce good tobacoo.
I would advise experimenting on a \
mited scale at first, but I think that \
ie experiment should be made by our |
eopie where they have land adapted 1
> tobacoo culture. 1
I am informed that an acre of land I
xwkIiioh l ikio nouuds of tobacoo, ?
ud that at 10c. which in a low price, I
i worth $100, or more than the value ?
f three bales of cotton. If this la true I
ie only point for us to determine is:
our laud adapted to it* culture.
One other difficulty, however, la that
>e culture will have to be general be- i
?re we cau eetabliah a local market for
. If our people will experiment geu?
ally we could secure au expert to
isit the county next fall aod pass .
idicmeut on the grade ot our tobacco.
I hope tbe?e ttujrgestious will tind
dguient with some of our good farmx
aud that they will secure seed from
arllngton or some other tobacoo
>uuty and have tobacco for the mar t
next fall.
