 GEOLOGICAL SURvEY.-Col. k. \. F. Pcnrosc, assistant State Geologist, stopped off here Sunday. and going down to MT. E. T. McDaniels that afternoon spent the night there, so as to examine the iron ores in that section around Rosston. MT, McD, and Esq. Hurst of Rosston rendered him valuable assistance in the survey. Monday MT. Penrose went over and carefully examined that territory containing iron ore, taking notes, measurements, etc, and quite q lot of specimen ore. He will have ore assayed and work up his notes, mak- ing full report this fall. He surveyed the country around Jefferson, Texas and says topography of this county is similar to it, as also the ore speci- mems, and it Is probably Y the same belt. There are now two iron fur- naces at Jefferson, Texas, so it is possible we may have valuable iron in this county, and furnaces may yet be run here. We shall await re- port of geologist with interest. Mir. Penrcse has promised to send us re- port as early as possible, when we will give our readers result of findings. He made us pleasant call and we found him most pleasant gentleman thank him for information given.
 Our neighhor of the Democrat, has all along heen picking and slur- ring at this paper, to which we have paid little or no heed-did not want to get into q controversy with anoth- CT Democratic paper, and had no free advertising to give it. Last two is- sues it championed cause of Dr. Norwood as against facts we had stated. Ia it's last issue said we "apolOgized' to Dr. N.; also that we had made "mis- statement" as to killing of Nat Jones. In both char ges it mis-states Us. We did not "Apologize, " hut after again giving facts ss to Dr. Norwood, looularly said if he really desired us to let up on him, and would agree to cease joking us, would do so. We have told the Doctor plainly that we could not be forced tp do anything As to kill ing of Mr. Nat .Jolcs the Washing ton Press account of it, which our neighhor says Is correct, says first 1 trouble was in a saloon about a Mrs Talley others from that county told Us both were drinking an fuss was about woman, Jones teasing Shipley about Mrs Talley. So we were cor rect. Now, we propose to ignore our neighbor's fault-iinding and thrusts,as they are harmless, as prov en by the fact that we have gained over 2j0 new subscribers aimee It started up hero,
