remains pleasant for the season of the year,
little too pleasant for butchering, but none
too pleasant for house building. j. N. Gal

Thanksgiving Day passed off quietly, the
schools and machine shops were closed, be.

On the same evening literary and musical
entertainment was given in the Eolian Hall,
which was listened to by large and appre-
ciative audience. The selections were good

to be taken on her way up the turnpike, a
short distance from this city; that the request
was complied with, and after being in the
carriage a short time it was discovered that
the tramp was man; that Mr.. Shriver be-
came alarmed, dropped his whip, and asked
the tramp to get it, and while doing so Mr..
S. drove off; that the tramp left satchel,
and on reaching home Mr.. S. opened it and
found two revolvers, billy and some bur-
glar tools. We are requested to deny the
story, as no such event occurred and the
Messrs. Shriver cannot account for its origin.

here, where for every place vacant there
are hundred young men and women. In
such circumstances it is manifestation of
folly for people to crowd into the city, there
to scramble for the little employment that
is going. Every charity has more recipients
than it can provide for, and more suffering
than its funds can alleviate. You can't
live by picking pockets, for there is nothing
in them, and burglary is dull If you are a
young man, stay where you are. II wo-
man, one peep into the many employment
offices in this city, where day after day
young girls sit almost vainly waiting for a
chance for honest labor that will save them
and their honor, will cure you ofany de-
sire to come to the city.

DREAMED THAT HER BABE WAS DEAD.-ln
the neighborhood of Cataula Depot, in Har-
ris County, Georgia, negro woman
dreamed that her child, little six months
infant, was dead So strongly was she i'm
pressed with the idea that she awakened
her husband and told him about the dream.
They examined the child and found it in a
sweet slumber, and again went to sleep.
She had the dream second time, and SO
plain was the dream that she made her hus-
band get up and make light to see if it
was really dead A second time it proved
to be an illusion, and very much troubled,
she went to sleep again. Just after day
light she awoke, with the little child in her
arms, and it was dead. The facts in the
above case are vouched for by those of as
much veracity as any one in the country
and the woman was former servant of the
writer of this article.

and it is estimated that six thousand per-
sons get their mail there now. Building is
going on as lively as ever. The production
of ore has been doubled during the last two
months and new discoveries being made
show the carbonate territory to be larger
than has been supposed About seventy
five tons per day is the yield of the district,
but this can be more than doubled any day.
as none of the mines have worked their
slopes, the yield being entirely the result
of development. Two additional smelling
works are in process of erection.
