QUITE an excitement was created in
town last Friday evening about
o'clock by the news that Charles Mey-
ers had been found dead in his dwell
ing at the upper end of Montgomery
street. During the afternoon session
OF Court he was to have appeared as
a witness in mining suit, but his
nonappearance caused Judge Prickett
to dispatch the Sheriff in search of
him. Mr. Stewart went to his place
Of residence, entered, and to his sur-
prise and establishment found the man
lying in bed dead, and his face very
black. He had, before retiring, re-
moved his boots, and got the blankets
over himself. He presented the ap-
pearance of having been dead twenty
or twenty-five hours, but the physi-
clans pronounce the time about ten or
twelve hours. Mr. Meyers was about
sixty-eight years of age, and we'll
known here, where he has resided
many years. He was highly esteemed
by all who knew him.

" A Thing Of Beauty +"

Is three-year old stallion belonging
to Howe & Mclaughlin called Glen
coe. lie is fifteen and one-half hands
high, weighs about 1850 pounds, and
is so symmetrical in form as to dazzle
and almost bewilder the admirer of
horse flesh. In color,he is a golden
sorrel; in carriage royal, stepping
proudly with arched,neck and looking
like young prince. He is son of
Old Planter and, if appearances are
worth anything, he will be a world
,beater some distance or other when
trained. He is only halter broke, as
yet. Mr.. Wetzell also has a fine
young'hosse of Morgan stock that he
bought from Wallace & SERVER. In
leaving this little valley | feel in
duty bound to express my thanks to
the people generally, and to Mrs. Scri-

hospitable entertainment. I believe

w. L. JOHNSON & Go have two val
liable quartz lodges about fifteen miles
west of Atlanta, near North Boise riv-
err. One is gold bearing, and varies
from twenty inches to two feet in
width; and the other silvcr-bearing,
and from eight to ten feet wide Both
are very rich, SO far as developed.
Only fifteen feet in depth has been at
tanned. The company intend to run
tunnels in on the lodges, and think
they can tap them at the enormous
depth of l,000feet. 1t is the unanimous
opinion of the road surveyors, who
gave us the information, that the sill
yer ledge is equal to the famous AT
lanta, of the same county. The COM
pany are men of limited means, and
have not been able to develop their
lodges as rapidly as they have de
sired, but have been quietly doing
what they could do with their own la
Dor for the last two or three years.

DOlS0 county has every HdIuFal dQ-
vantage that heart can desire. Soil
rich, timber and water in the greatest
abundance, and of the very best; eli
mate unsurpassed in any land under
the sun. No stagnant pools in any
part of the valley; sickness is almost
unknown here. No physicians SER
vices have ever been required in the
valley except in two or three in
stances, one being case of insanity
and the others accidental injuries.
The Population
Is about one hundred and fifty, the

school at the present time, taught by
a young lady by the name of Easley,
sister to John Easley, Esq. At pres

the South fork district, but neat
school house is nearly completed and
a teacher will shortly tbe employed
and school commenced.

fork at the farm house of n. Wetzell,

the southwest side Of the river here

that of Mr.. Wetzell, belonging to
Frank Farnham, a. Beard, Mr.. Bales
and j. V. r. Witt. The most of the
lowest land along the two rivers is
seeded in timothy, of which heavy
crops are harvested every year. The
higher lands are sewn in wheat, oats
and barley, and planted in potatoes
and other vegetables.
Stock Range
Is abundant and of the best kind
among the surrounding hills, and all
