snow. That country wouldn’t
suit us.
Mr. Joe Davis came in from

hud about dried up where .Joe was
at, and he was intended going to
the Rocky Mountains, but when
the timo arrived for him to depart

line and return to where he knew
there was plenty of water.
Having been asked who who
swore out the four warrants last,
week against Mashburn will state
that it was Mr. Jim Ferguson and
no one else had anything to do
with it. Tho report that Mash-
burn drew a pistol on Deputy
Sheriff Sargent when arrested is
incorrect, so says the officer.
Mr. Turner ({.tiillinn came over
from Hall last week. He had
yelled at the ball game at Mur-
rayvillc the previous day so that
he could scarcely talk above a
whisper, but it had no effect on
him otherwise as he was just us
clever as ever. Mr. Quillian was
accompanied here by his wife.
Last week license were issued
for the marriage of Mr. Ed Trout,
of Jackson, to Miss Lilly Strin

to have drive back out into the
country for the ceremony to be
performed.
We had the pleasure of meeting
Mr. Campbell last Friday at the
Tate House, who was on his way

days in the mowntoins the Doc
tor returned on account of it be
ing too cool for him.
Tomorrow is the day fixed for
the meeting of tho committee of
each malitia district, appointed at
the last county fair held here,

pose of showing or telling what
they have done towards the hold
ing of another one, that is if one

the committee, Jf they take no
interest in it other people cannot
be expected to
It does look like tho people of
Lumpkin county would go to
work and have a local telephone
system established. Our sister
counties have and are doing it and
here we are in old Lumpkin
sitting down with our hands cross
ed doing nothing, waiting for
prosperity to coma, and we will
never see it unless wo wake up,
get a move on us and do our part.
By having this system in case of
sickness you could step to the
phone, call up tho doctor and save
many miles travel, and maybe
save the life of your wife or child
some lime in ease of an accident,
saying nothing of (he many other
C"Uvi n,elites » telephone would
bring about.

work last Monday making blocks
for his concrete residence to be
erected on the right of the Aura-
ria road, a short distance from the \

On Sunday night, after the Pen
tecostal performance was over
some boys moved several benches
and chairs out in the streets.' A
big black empty bottle left ex
plained why they were out so late.
We don’t mean to say that these
benches were taken from the
Chapel.
An editor enu’t please every
body iu running a newspaper aud
we don’t try, which causes per
sons to turn their “feathers" up
at 11s occasionally, but we don’t
care. Really it is a good thing for
some people, because if they did
not get mad occasionally they
would not know how to appreciate
being in a good humor.
Messrs. C. R. Sovey, Joe Dan
Miller and a stranger were here
for a while last Saturday. Mr.
Sovey is back from the West look
ing after the interest of the Iowa
Gold Mining Co., which is pre
paring to operate on property re
cently purchased near Auraria, in
this county. For some time a
force of hands has been cleauing
out a canal which is to supply the
mine with water and laying pipe
lines which will aggregate about
twenty-fiye hundred feet when
completed. This work will be
done in a few more weeks. Mr.
Sovey is wide awake to the inter
est of this country and we wish
wo had many more such active
men headed this way.
We made a trip to the New
Findley Mine last Sunday in com
pany with Mr. W. C. Thomas, and
for an hour and a half were
either in a cut viewing a gold
bearing vein or climbing the
mountain, and were certainly as
tonished to see so many veins aud
such a quantity of ore already in
sight. The ten stamp mill and
pump ajre located at the foot of
the mountain and the reservoir
which catches the water is up on
top of this mountain several hun
dred feet above. The ore is dug
up and washed down and caught
111 a large bin just outside of the
mill at a very nominal cost, which
will last for years as the veins are
so high above that it will take
a long time to get them on aleval
with the mill. Mr. E. E. Crisson
is the general manager of this
mi no and even a stranger at the
first glance of the arrangement of
things about it can see that it is
iu charge of tine who understands
his business.
