Her Strikes,

The snow having disappeared from
our mountain sides. the uneasy pros
pector, after . long tedious winter Of |
holding down chairs and rustling about |
for grub, can once more roam from rock
to rock seeking the hidden treasure con-
tanned in these hills. A great many claims |
near here were staked Off two years ego
but were never represented On these
very claims some excellsnt strikes have
been made and as matter OF course. the
ground has been relocated, Most OF the
best finds made thus far this year have
been within q few miles OF Ketohuna and
assay way up" in silver. Among the
strikes recently made by our citizens we
note the following
Mr.. W. H. Reynolds while prospect
ing last week up Trail creek, about two
miles from town, struck galena oroppings
aud inside OF half an hours work ex
posed two foot ledge of solid galena.
No assay has as yet been made but the
indications are that it Ia passahly rich
Mr.. j. W. Cheer discovered, few days
since, fine looking iron and blue quart
ito ledge about 800 feet north west OF
the Back Pay mine, two miles east of
town, and upon sinking, opened up
four foot vein of paying galena. There
is no telling the amount Of ore or the
width of the pay streak until more work
has been accomplished, but as it now
stands j. is good enough to tie to,
Late last fall Sam Houston noticed
traces OF galena along a large extent OF
surface rock, situated little over Ave
| miles from town, on the right hand fork
of Trail creek. Not knowing whether it
was locatable ornot, he carefully covered
it up and this Spring discovered that the
ground had not yet been located. Last
week ne began operation and now has

once in two weeks for a Xisit, supplies
ETC., and last Saturday LEFT his claim to
hunt his horses preparatory to returning
to Ketchum. While wandering over the
hills IN search of the missing animals.
he picked up some galena doat and short
~ afterwards found the groupings. Mr..
Hines staid with it until ledge eighteen
inches vide, Of galena and carhonates
was exposed, which he has christened
the Jeanette. An assay has been made
OF the surface ore which goes 1901 ounces

only seven miles east from Ketchum and

KrrTRELLs, n. c., Feb. Is, 1882.
Some one stated in your paper not
long since, that Col. w. j. Green had
taken tour-ffths of the premiums on
wine at the Atlanta Exposition, and as
this is clearly a mistake and does great
injustice to Messrs. S. r. Hunt 4 Co.,
wine manufacturers of this place, ] hope

of. the premiums taken by both of
she above parties. Col. Green took the
following premiums:
Nortons Virginia Wine, 5 5
Best collect'n Sparkling Wine, Is
End best Still Wine, Is
Ives Seeding Wine, 5
Making a total for Col. Green of $40.
The following premiums was taken
by Messrs. S. r. HUT s. Co.:
Scuppernong Wine, SIS
Best Collect'n Still Wine, 20
End best Sparkling Wine, 10
Best quart other variety Wine, 3
Best quart wild grape Wine, 3
Making a total of $51 for Messrs. S. r.
Hunt & Co.
Col. Green's wine has achieved an
enviable reputation in this country, and
Messrs. S. r. Hunt & Co. knowing it's
very great excellence, justly felt proud
that their wine come out SO well in the
contest at Atlanta. Very truly,

latter is preferable, both for us, and fol
the subscriber. When the Receipt is

The Virginia Re-Adjusters are
busy making arrangements to hold the
ground they have won. They have
passed the Riddle berger Bill to scale
the State Debt; and have re-districted
the State in such a manner as to elect
four Republican Congressmen; on
which account the Republican organs
are complimenting Mahons in high
terms. The Boston Traue}ter says he
cannot fail to become lone of the fore
most men in the Nation and the
Washington Republican hints the day
may come when the Republican party
will owe its supremacy in Congress to
the votes of Mr.. Mahone's Virginia del
egation. :.
Meantime the colored Contingent Is
Re-adjusting the State Legislation
which bears heavily on the chicken and
pork raising" industry. That IS to
say, they have abolished the Whipping
Post; the vote of repeal being % to 9.
The Farmer and Aechanic approves
of the repeal. The Whipping, Post
would. perhaps, be useful, if used only
on men, and for Second otfenses;-slnc>
a second offense evidences a hardening
in crime by the criminal, and robs the
case of doubt, as well as sympathy.
But all Virginians must have felt, as
did we, a blush of shame on reading lasl
year that the first person publicly whip
ped on the bareback, in the presence
of numerous spectators, was a youn;

We invite the attention of the Postpas-
ter General to the fact that almost every
newspaper, and many citizens of North
Carolina are complaining of the losses
and delays of the mails. We have
more than two dozen extracts from the
State papers, since lst of January
giving instances of loss. The Colds
boro Messenger last week sent two large
bundles of papers to Mt. Olive, a few
miles distant on the railroad. One
package reached it's destination In q
minutes. The other disappeared

and We knew nothing of it until three
weeks later, Mr.. j. wrote to inquire
about it. MI. F. B. Gibson, neal
Hamlet, wrote us, early in January,
that his paper failed to reach him. We
examined the books, and charged GU
assistants to take special care. Las,
week, Mr.. Gibson wrote with natura
annoyance at the continued failure te

He will try a new pOstothce though

Mr.. Chas. Moore, of Alamance, anc
Mr.. Hyatt, of Waynesville,, inquire fol
missing copies. 1t is too bad A pa
per should be as safe in the mails as a
letter. Every copy of a paper lost, Ii
double robbery. 1t robs the subscriber
of his rights, and his property. i
robs the Publisher Of his righls

his property. Nothing damages a pa
