Down In a Coal Mine.

While in Rush Hill lsst week we
had the pleasure Of going down in
the coal mine at that place. The
mine is not done as yet but they have
quite a hole in the, ground. 1t will
be sunk at least 300 feet unless coal
is found sooner. The prospect is
good for coal much short of that.
There is no doubt but what there is
coal underlying the entire county.
We found our friend W. T. Lott al
the bottom of tie shaft, as he IS at
the bottom of all enterprises in Rush
Hill. He was working away with
pick, shovel, powder, fuse and some
thing that tasted like sheep dip. 1t
was dark down there and we could not
see the color but are certain it was
red. At that time the prospects were
good for coal and Rush Hill will take
on a lively boom whenever it gets n
good supply of the black diamonds.

doubtful whether they have a heart

THEY BOTH ~STAMMERED,
And One Thought the Other Was
Making Sport, Which Came Near
Causing a "Scrap."

The other day our friend, Charley
Wilson, of the vicinity of Thompson
Station, ran a book agent-a minister
at that-off his premises, all on &C
count of a little misunderstanding
that the minister-agent refused to
see into. The agent stammered and
so did Charley, but neither knew of
the others misfortune in speech.
Rapping upon Wilson's front door,
the parsoa said:
"Go-go-go-ood m-m-orn-ing, Nm
Mr.. Wi-Wi-Wilson. Minimize DID,

"Go-go-go-ood m-m-orn-ing, sir.
Yves, a i-f-ne d-d-day!"

era m-m-most ex~c-c-cellent wo-
work"
ssTh-th-thank you; b-b-but I do.
do-don't ca-ca-care to b-b-buy to-day.
The agent all at one fired up, and
rearing back upon his dignity inquir'
ed, in an angry tone, if he was being
made fun of-mocked; that if he
was he didn't propose to stand it.
Mr.. Wilson, still stammering worse
than ever, tried to explain matters
and pacify his visitor, but the agent
wouldn't have it that way; he wa.
being ''guyed," to use a world,
term.
Our friend couldn't stand it an,
longer, so off went his coat, and il
worse mixed-up language than ever
angrily exclaimed:
"B-b-by g-g gum. then, you-you
you gi-gi-git off of m-m-my p-p-plac
or I'll pu-pu-put you-you-you of
b-b-by g-g-gum!"
Thus relieving himself, Wilso
reached for a rail. Whereupon til
agent hastily took to his heels throug
an old corn-field, his coat-tails gent
floating in the breeze. W. presum
the agent thinks still that Charlie
was mocking him.

Col. Gates.

The appointment of ex-Treasurer Gates
was one that should not have been made,
but it can at least be said Of Col. Gates
that he is an honest man, whose mis-
fortunes were the result of incapacity.-
Mexico I~ntelligencer.
We think it is about time Demo-
cratic papers should quit talking
about Col. Gates until they know
what they are talking about. OF
course he is honest, and if you knew
him you would know he was also
competent to fill any position he
would ask for. The charge of in
competency against Col. Gates grows
out of the failure of the Mastin bank
with S1S5,000 of the states money
in it's vaults while he was state tressur-
er. AS to that matter, Col. Gates
was not the dupe and tool that he is
charged to be. He knew just what
he was doing from the time he made
the first deposit in that bank until
the day the money vas placed back
in the treasury. The failure of the
bank was something he could not see
or prevent. But he recovered the
money, which but few other men
could have done. He knew just what
he was doing when he deposited the
money in the bank, for before. doing
so he had the best legal advice in the
state as to his duties and his rights
Don't talk any o about Col
Gates incompetency. He will TAKE
care of himself and perform his du
ties faithfully and i~ntelligently ant
account for all moneys that come tt
his hands.-Jefferson City Journal
