chantable mica used in this country
was imported but for the past few years,
since 1867, or supply of the mineral

located in Mitchell, Haywood, Yancey.

is at present hardly equal to the de
mand, which is increasing very rapid

Mica is used by electricians for insu-
lating purposes, and also some extent
by makers of philosophical and optical
instruments. Good mica, because of
its lightness, is often employed as a
substitute for glass IN spcctacles desi

TELEPHONE TALK.

A Geneseo exchange has the following:
Dir. Clarence Thayer, local superintend-
ent of the Geneseo telephone exchange,
has been authorized to lay before the peo-
BILE proposition for connecting this place
with Davenport, Rock Island and Moline
by telephone. The company want to raise
enough by subscription for tickets, enti
Ting the holder to use of the telephone, to
build one half of the line. The amount
wanted in Gencsee will be between 500
and $500. This will be returned to the
subscribers in tickets so that really the tel
ephone will not cost the people here any
thing in the long run. As we understand
it the tickets will be transferable, SO par
ties subscribing for them and having no
immediate use for the telephone can dis
pose of them and thus get back their mon
ey. The proposed line will prove great
convenience to many of the business men
of Geneseo and we will not be surprised to
see the required amount of money raised.
Mr.. Thayer will go around with subscrtp-
ton papers, and he will be prepared to
fully explain the whole matter to all who
think of taking stock in the enterprise.

THE SEVENTH WARD.

The Union claims that there was dem
ocratic meeting in the Seventh ward that
Endorsed Mr.. Hull and in proof cites re-
port of the meeting that it received, signed
by the secretary. The Union is doubtless
honest in this claim but has been imposed
upon. A report of a meeting was made
out and sent to the Union but it was a false
report. The name of Mr.. Barber was sign
ed to it as chairman of the meeting and
that of MT. t. j. Mccall as secretary. Both
gentlemen state positively that no such
meeting was held and that they signed no
such report. Furthermore Mr.. Barber is
national Some one has imposed upon the
Union with counterfeit report.

A JOKE.

A real good joke is told on a physician
of this city which is in the nature of a
political adventure The aforesaid follow

afternoon while driving along one of the
streets in the lower end of the city. There
CHANGED to be candidate for one of the
many offices in the gift of the people who
sought an Introduction to the doctor The
introduction occurred, and then the physi-
clan was made acquainted with several of
the voters of that locality who stood on the
sidewalk. The latter naturally thought
that the physician was a candidate for
some office as they could see no other
reason for the Introduction. Each one of
them grasped the hand of doctor, and said
"All right Doctor, I will vote for you for
Coroner"
The physician made no explanation but
made hasty retreat.

FUNNY.

The Rock Island Union contains the fol
lowing facetious paragraph:
Mr. Joseph Gaskell, Treasurer of the
Rock Island Il Peoria Railway company
left for Chicago last night. He will return
in time TO slip republican ticket into each
of the ballot-boxes in his ward on Tuesday
Mr.. Gaskell is still loyal subject of the
Queen of England, and as he has failed tc
naturalize himself, he cannot enjoy the
rights and prerogatiyes of free American
citizen, by casting his ballot for any eandi
date.
Perhaps the umbrella editor of the
Union and his associate editor of seven
years experience, who uses LEARN" .foI
teach, are not aware that in the United
States naturalization is necessary before
voting is allowed. Such is the fact, and
If the Union editors win steal more from
American and less from English exchanges
they will become better posted on the laws
and customs of their adopted country.

While we shall continue as heretofore to

APRIL FOOL.

To-day is the LIST of April, and as such
has been observed by the usual number of
tricks and pranks, by which person has
been induced TO pick up a bundle filed
with sand. or has been stopped and inform
ed that his clothes don't fit him, or some
equally foolish information.
The custom of sending person upon a
fruitless errand is of very ancient date, and
its exact origin is sbrouded in mystery.
By some II is regarded as a travesty of
the sending hither and thither of the Savior
from Annas to Caiaphas and from Plate
to Herod. During the middle ages this
scene in the life of Christ was made the
subject of a miracle play. Others claim
that it is relic of some old heather fes-
tival. The custom, whatever its origin.
appears to be very general in Europe. 1t
is also worthy of note that the Hindoos
practice similar tricks on the 31st of March,
when they hold the Hull festival.

killer to start around and Stay all those
who for the past year have immortalized

mination process until next Fools day,
