r. j. Anderson, who came near
losing his eye by an accident not
long since, is improving. Capt. E.
G. B. Lee contemplates renting out
his farm and removing to Alabama
to live. We cannot well afford to
lose such men as Capt. Lee. Our
neighborhood is represented at Mar
tin College this session by Misses
Grace and Blanche Gordon, Mamie
Blackburn and Mamie Samuel, and
in consequence there are many sad
faces among our boys.
-Messrs. F. NJ. Chapman, R. A.
f. jackson and r. j. Anderson, jr.,
our efficient road overseers, have
worked their respective roads, and
we must say that they deserve great
credit for the manner in which they
have worked them. With such
overseers and such work we will
ere many years have passed have
good roads to travel. Right here
we would like to make a suggestion
about road working, and that is to
put more rock and less dirt on the
road. If we have a good rock foun-
dation with just enough dirt to hold
the rocks firmly together, the road
will last much longer; but il the dirt
is heaped up three or four feet in
the middle of the road without any
rock, the road becomes almost i'm
passable during the winter.

A lot of students attempted to
clean out negro camp-meeting at
Ada, Ohio, last week, and had a
considerable row, injuring the leader
of the camp-meeting badly. If this

shirts and howled about it, but it
didn't and they will simply treat it
as news.

An Omnibus Calf.

Mrs. Jennie Of the p G. & W.
Mills, who by the way is one of the
most reliable, industrious and ami
able of women, is authority for the
following remarkable calf story. 1t
is only or 5 months old, but its
digestive capacity is equal to any
emergency. The other day it eat
bed quilt, box of thread, bunch
of shoe strings, a china doll, an
apron, a window curtain, and prob
ably would have cleaned up the
cooking utensils and garden imple-
ments if they had been left in reach,
as two gray kittens were left exposed
to it's ravages and disappeared mis-
teriously. 1t is not positively GER
tain that the calf eat the cats, but
it is a natural supposition, as it was
seen licking the kittens.

SMILING TEST.

Mr.. Sam Caldwell hands US the fol.

News, which he thinks will be an i'm
portaat discovery for the mining in.

The Lone Elan Smelling company
has thus lar received returns from four
assays made BY different assayers Of
the bullion, fumes and Stag from the
two carloads OF silver ore which was
run through the Stag eyes Of the COM
pany week before last. The four as
says agree very closely in general re.
suits, and show that about two.thirds
Of the metal in the ore passed of IN
the fume, and was caught in the bags.
while one.thi.d found its way into
bullion, there being very listle il any
remaining in the Stag. The per cent.
Of silver contained in the ore has net
vet been ascertained, but it has been
fully demonstrated that the Lone Elm
company's process Of ,melting ore is
perfect success, and destined to com.
pletely revolutioaize the system OF re-
duc,ng silver ores in the west. We
are informed that Mr.. Drennon. presl.
dent Of the Wabash company, was so
we'll satisfied O: thi. fact when he saw
the results Of the ss,sys that he 1t once
gathered 4 force of H.en and started
for the mining district in which his
mines are located for the purpose Of
erecting similar smelling works, and
will have furnaces running on the
Lone Elm conpsny's plan just as soon
as men and money will accomplish
thit end. Whether Mr.. MoHett will
have an interest in them, or whether
he will receive royalty, or sell the
right to the Wabash company We havs
not yet learned. --=-

is called a vacuun dredging boat has
lecn successfully tried on the Chesta-
zee river. 1t is designed to raise the
gravel from the beds Of rivers aud for
washing the sand and separating the
gold from it. At 4 recent trial the
boat raised the sand by the Vacuum
system at the rate Of two to four tons
every five minutes. Tins sand was
rapidly washed, automatically, in
sluIce-boxes. and the geld collected
in quicksilver. As the result of three
hours work $500 worth of gold was

History or TWENTY RuMsELLERs.--Du
ing period of twenty. FIVE years, from the
year 1880 to 1856, the writer remembers twenty
individuals who were, at one time or another,
engaged in the business of selling liquor, at
or near little village in South Carolina. OF
that number, fifteen failed in business, either
while selling or afterward. Five have died
from the excessive use of ardent spirits, and
six others were addicted to occasional ex-
cesses, and have also passed away. Ten of
their sons fell early victims to the appetite
and fill drunkards' graves, while nine others
have been at different times addicted to
drunken sprees, and are in the utmost danger
of falling before the same dreadful habit.
Ten Of their daughters are or have been mar
ried to drunkards. Three of their sons are
idiots or imbecilcs, and there are other indi-
cations which, to n close observer, call to
mind the denunciation of Holy Writ, " Noe
to him that giyeth his neighbor drink, and
maketh him drunken also. "-American Mes
