trying Hood’s Sarsaparilla and I finally
consented, and began taking it the first of
June, 1896. The Hirst bottle did me so
much good that 1 continued with it, and

Fine Hunting,
It is rare sport the hunters are
enjoying these fine December days.
Some of the best shots in the city have
been out recently and as a result,
“quail on toast” has been very popular
for some days. Birds are rathe* plen
tiful this season, and the sport is ex
ceedingly great.
Mr. J. F. Bigbee was in the city a
day or two this week from Auraria and
had on exibition a nugget of gold
weighing seventeen pennyweights t^pt
was taken from half a bushel of ore
from the famous Josephine mine, which
caused so much trouble and which was
so extensively written up in the news
papers all over the country about one
year ago.
It will be remembered that Mr. Big
bee guarded his property with a shot
gun for some time, and afterwards had
a long law suit, which has just ended
and which resulted in his getting
complete control of his property again.
His fnends are gratified at the result
and expect him to get a nice thing out
of his property. The specimens exhib
ited show that there is quite a great
deal in the Josephine mine.

Many hogs have been slaughtered
the past week. The cold weather came
in good time, as the farmers were tired
of feeding tneir hogs so long as the
majority of them were very fat. Some
very large hogs were killed in and
around Gainesville, and backbone and
spare ribs have been plentiful the past
few days.
