A true friend of his country.

--The following pleasant paragraph is from the Kanawha Valley Star:

Capt. Thomas R. Friend, of this county, has contributed 250 bushels of wheat to the fund for the support of the volunteers of this section. He has an abundance of grain, a mill to grind it and teams to haul it, hundreds of fat cattle, sheep and hogs, and authorizes us to say that all these will be freely given in defence of Virginia. The troubles bring with them this consolation, the assurance that the spirit of unselfish patriotism has not yet departed.
