The nam* of Redmond, was spoken of as a hero, who ranked among the mountaineers with as much notoriety as the brave Hobson does with our American people. The n moonshiner's business is fast dis'K appearing. No longer can be seen ^ tho curling smoke ascending from o l-> 111 some mountain cave or ravine 11 * pointing out tho location of some L" blockade or moonshine distillery, u* yet it is possible that in the re>n cesses of some of these mountain . | | I - fastnesses, they do yet exist, but nothing like they were a few years t 1 ago. The backwoods men are : yielding to the enlightening influ ences of the world's march in prou gross and advancement of this , nineteenth century, and tho many . 11 , slumber ing resources of this noted region are being developed, and ; add to the prosperity and huppipcssof its citizens. A day spent in one of these western towns af- ' fords one an opportunity of learn ing much of the industries and customs of its people. The mer cantile business is large by barter. . I The people find a rea<ly mat ket for their produce in exchange for ?r goods. We were really amused it and somewhat surprised at the vale riety of the produce handled by i * . . buiuo oi me merenants. l on " I e would see them buying all kinds II of grain, fruits and vegetables in 1 u quantities from a mere handful to wagon loads. We saw baskets filled with cub bags, cucumbers, ' , beans, green corn,apples, peaches, I and almost every kind of fruit ' ^ and vegotables grown in this cli* mate, besides butter and honey in ' 0 abundance. Nearly all these I , towns are more or leas manufac ? lt turing towns and the bulk of the , vegetables and fruits are sold to the operatives. Butter, eggs and 1 chickens are among the most im- 1 it portnut things ship|>e<l away and i I- the returns from these add very 1 1 much to bunk accounts. The lutu~ ' ' ber trade is a considerable iU?m in I ,e n business here, and adds much ( , cash o circidation. The wheal * >s crop was good here- the best for 1 ,e a number of years ? and it is be* y ing marketed at 75 cents per bushel.
