An Iron Spring.

From the AtAeas Gn.) Banner Wdtcbmdn.
On Mr. b. f. O'Kelly's place, Just out
side of the corporate limits, is a spring
which is more strongly impregnated with
iron than any in many miles around
One gentleman who has Travelled over the
United States says that during all his
tours he has never seen one to equal it.
As the expression is among miners. "Iron
is the mother of gold" we would not be
surprised to hear of Mr.. England pros
pecting and finding an immense gold mine
there. The gold fever is catching, and
almost on every branch around Athens
you can see parties with pans trying TO
get a hold on the veins that produce the
precious metal.

There was great excitement at Browns

A stranger whose actions were still

Selling a pen, wrote his name. Frank
Mitchell gazed at it in perpleXed I'M
certainty. Unable to read it he beckoned
to Mr. George c. Brown, the proprietor,
who left Cincinnati drummer in the
midst of champion lie, and went to see
what was the trouble. Mitchell pointed
to the name. MIR. Brown examined it,,
bul could not read it. He took u side view
of it, but still could not read 1t. He
went around to the front of
the register, turned his back to 1t and
glanced at the name over his left shoulder,
but still could not read it. He was in the
act of standing on his head to get a view
OF the mysterious name, when Mitchell
seized him and whispered:
Don't do it, know the gentlemanV
''W no isit?" Mr.. Brown inquired, sink
ing his voice ten degrees below zero.
Its the MikadO!" Mitchell replied,
still whispering.
''The flowers that bloom in the spring,

black HAIR? Didn't you observe the let

do not spell jap what do they spell ?
Besides, don't you see that he wrote his
name in JapaneseY
Mr.. Brown looked at the name again.
Sure enough, the writing did resemble
Japanese characters.
In the meantime, NEthe Mikado" was at
the cooler trying to drink it dry. When
he wobbled back to the register, both Mr..
Brown and Mitchell overwhelmed him
with politeness. They sent him up to a
delightfully."- situated room, accompanied
by two porters. When the porters re-
turned, they united in saying that the
'EMikado" was mighty scurious man,

''Why, that fellow there" replied the
drummer, pointing to ''the Mikado's"

name can tell all about him, even to the
color of his eyes. Now, that fellows

He Was a Dude.

At Rome Wednesday a gaunt and hun
CRY looking son of Ham, a boy about y
years of age, was seen leaning up against
a lamp post. The clothes of the boy were
ragged and the look on his face seemed TO
say he would do anything for a nickel.
A young gentleman stepped out OF one
of the stores, and, catching sight of the
boy, called him to black his shoes. The
boy, in an injured tone, replied: "Huh,
Pm no boOtblack; Pm dude" and stick
ing his arms deem into his pockets went
off whistling ''Little Picaninay' for dear
!
