HALF THE TRUTH NOT TOLD.
Mr.. E. c. Davis, general manager of the
Black Wonder Gold and Silver Mining Co,
has recently returned from an extended tour
of the mines of Hinsdale county, Colorado,
wherein are located beth the Creole camp
and the Black Wonder mines at Sherman.
Mr.. Davis says that half the truth has
not been written about the phenomenal de-
posts of mineral at Creole, which exceed in
value the widest expectations of old pros.
pectors in the mountains. Mr. Davis adds
that the Black Wonder promises to equal, if
not surpass, the wonderful "Holy Moses"
mine at Creole. The latest assay from the
former shows a prospective value of Sl447. O5
per ton-a figure that has seldom been equal
ed in the State. Many New England people
are having the foresight to purchase stock at
present low prices, and as result the offices
of the company in the Boston Globe building
are daily filled with people. The future of the
Black Wonder is assured. See advertisement
of company in another column.

Reopening of Centenary M. E. Church,
TRpnnrtrd fnr the Democratic Advocatnl


In the latter part of August the audience
room of Centenary Methodist Episcopal
Church, this city, was closed for improve
ments, and after lapse of nearly two months
will be reopened Sunday. Since its close the
room has been thoroughly and completely
changed and now presents Il marked contrast
TO its former appearance. Prior to the i'm
provement, however, the church was by no
means an old fashioned one, but compared
favorably with the other churches of this city.
The old iron fence in front and brick walls
on either side Of the yard and two trees have
been removed, the yard leveled, and new
pavement laid in front and along the side of
the church. The front wall has been painted,
which adds much to its appearance. The
inside of the church has also been painted
and the Settees vanished. The walls of the
church and ceiling have been artistically fires.

the windows; handsome Brussels carpet
covers the floor; fine brass chandelier, with
sixty imitation candle burners, hangs from

occupies the northeast corner of the room,

which blend tremendously with the frescoed
walls. We think we are safe in saying that
it surpasses any in this city. The church
now presents an elegant appearance.

"Madame-Most worthy of admira-

much meditation on the great reputa-
ton you possess In the nation, have a
strong inclination to become your rela-
ton. On your appreciation of the dec
laration, shall make preparation to
remove my situation to more con-
venient station, to profess my admira-
ton, and if such oblation is worthy of
observation and can obtain commisera-
ton it will be an aggrandization be-
yond all calculation of the JOY and ex-
ultation of yours,
SANS DISSEMINATION"
The following is the still more curl
Gus answer:

much deliberation at the great infatu-
alton of your imagination to such VEN
Grafton on SO slight foundation. But
after examination aud much serious

ton was the fruit of recreation or had
sprung from ostentation to display
your education by an odd enumeration,
or rather multiplication, of words of the

laborious application in so tedious an
occupation deserves commentator,
