C., Sept. 4.—The rela tives of Jonathan Newman, late of Henderson county, are still digging for the bucket of gold, which the oid man, just before his death Friday, declared was buried in his garden. If it is un earthed, it wi,l mean between $7,000 anu $10,000 for the heirs. - Gold figured in ail the late transac tions of Mr. Newman, as he would pay a premium for the yellow metal when necessary. Some are inclined io tUe opinion that the bucket was buried un der seme log or brushheap. Mr. Newman had a way of going to the outskirts of his large tract of laud and building brnshheaps, whether hmshheaps were needed or not. Won dering neighbors used to watch the old man pile up heaps of brush and logs, ana then a day or so after their wonder would take on fresh impetus to find the brush aud legs in another place, there being no apparent purpose in the vast display of industry. There are a half dozen sons, to say nothing of a small army of other rela tives, and it is said that the gold will be found if it is necessary to dig up th'e entire f irm. And in the meantime a close watch is being kept to see that no one outside of the family does any dig ging. _ We Waut To See You. We can tell what make your eyes blur anti your head swim.
