GOLDEN TRUTHS FROM THE WHITE House,

GOLDEN TRUTHS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE
Serene as a Summers day are those we'll
known and popular clothing men, Messrs
Cohn 4 Isaacs. No. Ii south c street, Virginia
The world wags well with them. People appre
ciate their goods, approve of their prices; and
admire their style OF doing business. AT the
WHITE House CLOTHING STORE are s"Cn NC
broils nor contentious with swindled custb
mers returning moth-eaten and inferior goods
No evasive protestations, that 81 didn't sell it
to you" and "I didntrecOmmendi it," winding
up with "yOur eyes were your market sir. -
At the WHITE House old customers daily re-
turn, bringing their friends with them, who
also become good customers. OF course, to
some natures. ii is very CALLING to see a new
establishment like the WHITE HOUSE open
right under their noses, as it were, and achieve
a marked and brilliant success; taking in the
very start a high position in public esteem.
and gaining a greater share of popular favor
and patronage than many houses that have
beed hammering away for years. However,
these old houses should learn to grin and
bear it, Messrs. Cohn Il lsaacs do not allude
to these things in any spirit of pride or tri-
umph: they simply state facts for the public
good. They do not doubt that it is gall and
wormwood to their neighbors to have custo-
mers of many years standing leave them and
give their patronage to the WHITE HOUSE
CLOTHING STORE. but manifestation of temper
is in very bad taste. and really has bad effect.
Being mAnifestly untrue it disgusts all hear
ers, and sends customers by scores to the
WHITE HOUSE. Such is life SO mote it be.

ANNOUNCEMENTS is with plea
sure we refer to the fact that Prof.
J. G. Cromwell is candidate for
superintendent of Public Instruc,
ton for Lyon County. The impor-
tance of this Office is conceded by
all, hence q qualified man should be
chosen. If Prof. Cromwell receives
the nomination of the Republican
Convention, he will be elected unan-
imously, as it is very doubtful whe-
ther the opposition will make a
nomination for the Office in oppo-
sition to him.

years ago it is not necessary to do so
now. In order to vote at the next

at once. All should bear this in
mind, and inform their neighbors,
that they may not be disfranchised.

THAT NUISANCE at the junction OF
Fifth with Main street, is getting
beyond endurance. The sewer
should be placed in repair before the
whole neighborhood is rendered fit
subjects for a hospital. Already
there are a number of cases of sick
ness in the neighborhood, caused,
without doubt, and traceable to the
foul air arising from this cesspool.
1t would require only small ex-
penditure to place it in good repair,
and 1t should be done without fur
ther delay.

THE DAYToN.-We met the Sup
erintendeut and Secretary of this
mine last evening, and We're given a
few points for publication. They
are now working in all the levels
the same as before the water came
in upon them some three months
since. The pumping facilities are
more than adequate for the demands,
and the mine is kept as dry as could
be desired. In an emergency the
pump could raise 10000 gallons an
hour. 1t is expected the directors
will put in two more 54-inch boilers,
as the superintendent so recon-
mends, to make greater steam facil
tiles. They have commenced the
erection of the building to cover the
engine-room, which will be COM
pleted shortly. They are now work
ing IS men underground at a shift,
and hoisting something over 80 tons
OF ore per day. 1t is expected the
mill will commence crushing on the
18th or 9TH, and be kept steadily at
work. A number of hands will be
added from day to day until the full
compliment is had. A singular
feature of the flood" was the fact
that the water did no damage to
the timbering of tbs mine, not
single cave occurring; or single
timber being misplaced; the track
in one or two places was floated, but
only required few hours work to
place it in equally as good condition
as when the men were driven out
by the water. Our readers may eX-
pect good news from the Dayton, as
they have good mine, and it is
manned by experienced and upright
miners.
NEARLY AN ACCIDENT While
some Cinnamon were repairing the
wood chute leading down to the
Bacon and Trench mills, two China
men started down with 3-inch
plank. twelve inches wide, and
twenty feet long. By some means it
got away from them. and went down
the chute at tremendous rate of
speed. Near the lower end were two
men at work, one deaf and dumb.
Instinct seemed to have told "dum-
N.Y." as he is called, that he was in
danger; for, just at that moment, he
looked up and saw bis predicament,
and succeeded in letting the board go
between his legs, and thereby es-
capped. 1t was close call for him.
When the plank struck the ground
it was broken in forty or more
pieces.

Last evening when saw this crew, they took
their first pull on the river since their return from
Enfield Lake. whittier the rush of logs on the Con-
necticut had driven them to practice for two weeks
past and 200 students collected both Sides at the
old covered bridge, by the boat-house, to see them
off. One crowd swarmed on big'pile OF lumber on
the opposite side from the boat-house. whence a
view of mile up to the bend could be had unob-
structed by the thick groves above or the tall hills
on the other side From here the start was viewed,
sight of which one never tires The six fine young
men, stripped down, brought out the gilstening

water, took their places and fixed the oars. Slowly
pushed off by friendly hand the captain, as the
oars clear the float, shouts "Readvw the strong

students around the boat-house begin to sing:
"And il it be a boy will put him in the crew,
And s he ,, shall a beat the B0wdoinS' as his daddy
Then the foOling begins Over on our side there
lies one huge log, whose end hangs over the water.
A party are lounging on the landward end and

The crew returning, go about mile below the
bridge, and with Mr.. Aiken, who was Dartmouths
delegate at Hartford, picked my way down about
half mile on a miserable ow-path which mean
dered along the side of the bank and we ran up at
full speed alongside of the boat, occasionally stop

This afforded an excellent view. The men sit as fol-
