Pine Grove News.

Poker games are running high in the
Grove at the present lime, and money is
thrown away without thought OF the labor
it takes TO get it.
At last the Wilson mine has closed down,
we might say on account Of gold rock being
so scarce, but it is really because there is no
more in sight.
The proprietors Of the Wilson mill have
returned from San Francisco, bringing with
them about $47,o 900 in gold, the result Of
the last cleanup, and the boys are greatly
pleased with such results.
Mr.. John Meanse and family left the
Grove last Monday to locate in Oregon.
They have many friends here who wish
them pleasant journey and good luck after
they reach the webfoot country.
Ohio Moser arrived from San Francisco
few days ago to take charge OF the Wheel
er mine.
Gov. Basdell has three men working on
his mine at Rockland, four miles from the
Grove.
Some OF the boys are training their horses
for the races at the Wabuska Fair, but the
impre sson is that they will get left.
Houses are badly needed in town, two or
three new ones are being built and lumber
is on the road to build more.
Mark Erway brings in passenger occa'
sionally.
1t is rumored that there is soon TO be q
marriage in town, but the boys hope not, Al
1t would hurt their feelings to see the only
girl in town commit matrimony, especially
would it hurt the feelings Of the
ARKANSAw TRAVELLER.

asked wherever one goes. No matter If IN

will hold of as long as possible and rush to
the front al the last minute, and there are
others who pretend to b; in his conid .nce
that aver it as his intention to retire from
the political field altogether; that he con.
siders it honor enough TO have once been
elected to the U. S. Senate, and having ex.

to corrupt honest voters again. Should Mr..

Charley Buckland has been out
threshing for a couple of weeks, and
Wednesday night he very confidentially
informed us that his days of threshing
were rapidly drawing to a close. He
likes the country and people down
around Roudell well enough, and is
just stuck ION Wheeler & Raymond's
threshing crew. The water, he says,
agrees with HIM very well, and the
wages are all that any man could
reasonably ask for. But some how or
another he has come to the conclusion
that he was not built for a thresher,
that is, he is conscious of the fact that
he is not short enough up and down
and altogether too narrow just above
