Mr. James Bearden tells us that he had live steel traps set the other night and the next morning caught four musk rats, thus sav ing much corn,21 Tho superior court held until after night Saturday and a good deal of piatler had lo go over till tiie next term. The grand jury wound up its business in four days, but so many non resident witnesses in various eases and special jurors made it gn unusully expensive court. We bad the pleasure last week of meeting for the first time Mr. J. Roy Boone, secretory of 1 ho Landis Banking Co., Nashville, Tenn., who was down looking at the Jumbo property and seemed delighted with what be saw up there. It is certainly a won derful gold mine. Mr. IT. L. SiTTith accompanied by Prof. Hodge, gave a very in teresting show at the court house last Thursday night. Mr.- Smith use to reside in White county, but is now located in Alabama and hasn’t been in Dahloncga before in 29 years. Most all of his old ac quaintances are dead. His show was well patronized and appre ciated. Mr. N. C. Tankersley a man who every body in this whole country knows and likes, spent the (last week in Dahloncga from Aus rnria. He got acquainted with many of the school boys while here. They all call him “Uncle Bony” and what he had to say about his first visit to Atlanta many years ago, wearing a long jeans square tail , coat, was right interesting to them. Mr. W. A. ..Carroll, who left White county thirty years ago, is here on a visit to his relatives. His father hadn’t heard from I11111 in four years, mid believed bis son dead and when lie came in the other night it was certainly a happy meeting. Mr. Carroll cobles from the cold region of Alaska where every thing is now frozen up and no chance to reach that country any more before June. He came out on the last vessel leaving that country in September. What ho Imstosav about that section is vely'interesting. Wages out there run as high as $15 per day. He lias gone now to Colorado.

Fodder still ranges from $1.25 to $1 .GO per hundred. Mr*. E. W. Strickland will leav L this week for Bessemer, Ala., where '1; expects to follow the carpenters’s busiu ■ a awhile. After some three or four months absence from Anniston, Ala., Air. John Whelchel returned home yes terday to resume his work in the post office again, provided that he The term of stenographer R. J. Swain expired with the closing term of Lumpkin Superior court and lie left for home this week to tin* regret of his many friends t hroiighout 1 his sect ion. A couple of telephone poles on Clarkcsville street belonging to the Consolidated Co,, fell last Monday night, breaking and tangs . 1 ling up the wires considerably all j along that part of the street. There arc other decayed poles at I various places in Dahloncga which | should receive prompt attention I before some one is either seriously 1 injured or killed. This is wl.at the Tahlahnekan, the college paper, run by the stu dents, says about Dr. Avis, the president of the college: “Our new president, Dr. E. S.

He puts lire and energy in every has recovered sufficiently from his thing he undertakes. Before live recent spell of sickness to stand it. Air. Joe Rider has moved back from Hull county to his old home in Lumpkin. Mr. Rider says that his cotton crop was a failure on account of its destruction by a hail storm and he is now going back to corn raising again’. Last Tuesday Mr. Gordon Rice, while out hunting near Judge Brittain’s farm, discovered a black snake wrapped around a large owl, trying to squeeze it to death. The owl was relieved by its enemy and brought home alive. We noticed our old friend and schoolmate, Air. Daniel Grice of Forsyth county, in Dahloncga last week. Schoolmates are like old soldiers, they love to meet each other, on account of strong ties that will bind them until the jour ney of life is ended. We understand that the biggest mine at Ducktown lias been en joined and expects to close down soon. A number of Lumpkin county hands are over there who will be thrown out of work. It will be a great drawback to the hundreds of other miners engaged there. Mr. Ens Anderson, residing in Porter Springs district, has been trim bled a good deal with sickness in his family. Two of his daugh ters have bad typhoid feyef and as soon as they recovered from the fever, lost their minds. The lirsl | one is getting all right now and we I trust that the other will.

We can’t remember of ever see ing two dry years in succession here before like this and last. It is a great draw back to the mining industry. Work had to suspend down at the Singleton last week on this account. It was paying well and we are sorry that such is the case. Jumbo Gold Alining Company is backedeby substantial values. Every stockholder is part owner of this great mine. There is no prefered stock. The pay ore is in abundance. No expensive tun nels necessary to reach it. The underground development now being done daily, is opening up new bodies of rich ore, both free milling and concentrating ore. We know of no mine in Georgia where so much pay ore is in sight, nor where future development promises so much to the stock holders. In shaft No. 1, at a depth of 40 feet, five veins of high grade are opened, constituting a body of quartz of about five feet in thickness. The ore now being taken from this shaft would bo classed as high grade in auy min ing camp. Parties desiring large returns from a small amount in vested, should visit this mine and examine it for themselves while tho stock is offered at 15cts per share of one dollar. There is no doubt but what the price of stock will be advanced to 20 or 25 cents 1 n 1 lie near future. A rich anil.hotter vein has been struck in No. 2 shaft since pen ning the above. A number of persons went up to see it yesterday all of whom were well pleased. Johnson and others contempla ting making big money with a lift down below the Singleton, bad to abandon it. They got the line down but found that they didn’t have sufficient pressure. They.are satisfied the mine is all right and would pay well but are unable to work it for the reasons given above. The Pyrites Company still has a good force of hands moving the work along with a vim. Mr. McAfee tolls tis that the McAfee-Lind Gold mine is prov ing itself to bo one of the richest in the iu this whole country, * Remainder of Court Proceed ings. 1 State vs. Lewis Prewit—misde meanor—verdict guilty, $25 and cost or twelve months in the chain gang.

Mention was made in these coL umns last week in reference to The Sellers Tent Awning Co., Colum bus, ()., receiving money from Hon. G. D. Bruce of Duhlonega, for a- tent and not sending it, after about four weeks, and who had made several enquiries about the matter without any attention be ing paid to them. A few days ago the tent was received by Mr. Bruce and tho company hus proven to be perfectly responsible. Tho delay was caused by tho railroad, not the Tent (jnmpapy.
