yored locality in point OF natural advan-
tages Besides being situated in q rich and
fertile region, abounding in gold mines

crossing OF two great railroads. But in
addition to all this, we hear noy, that near
TINS city there has recently been discovered
by an Englishman o mine abounding In
diamonds ,nall of the finest quality; a gentle
day last. week had Tho pleasure of seeing
and handling few of the precious stones
In the rough state. A correspondent of tho
charleston Ne,rs and Courier, writing from
Seneca under date of May 2s, says OF this
discovery: "There has been much excite

days caused by the discovery of diamonds
in an oldgold mine. For ryears gold mining
has been carried on to greater or less ex.

gold. He went to panning on farm ad.

Of.course, when they all get bnshel or two
apiece, they will be generous enough to
scatter them around among their neighbors
and friends, of whom we are so fortunate
as to be one. We always have said that
the future had grand destiny in store for

that nearly all those who have made great
fortunes. however, in mining operations
have done it by selling ont"
