Mr. L. G. Stowers, of Dawson
county, was in Duhlonega last
Saturday with a load of corn on a
wagon made before the civil war.
It was manufactured at Leathers’
Cord, in Lumpkin county, by Mr.

We stated last week that the
Iosco of the Barlow mine had serv

through his attorney, Mr. W. S.

as gathered from the attorney.
Now we give the other, as told by
the manager. Hie Barlow mine
was leased to Mr. Trcgont some
time ago, with the understanding
that he would keep the mill and
mine in good shape and re
quired to pay the 8th of the gold
made. This, the manager asserts
was not fully carried out, The
mill got out of repair and besides,
requiring too much time in crush
ing the sub-lessees ore who were
charged the 4th, it gave much diss
satisfaction, as well as inpeding
the progress of their work. Mr.
Tregcnt was notified by Mr. Bain-
bridge that the company would
take charge of the mine and just
as soon as the mill was repaired
and put in good shape Mr. Tregcnt
commenced the suit againt the
company.
