The members of the Atlanta Paper
Hangers Union, an organization just little
over two months old, are out on strike
About thirty men are involved in the strike,
and it will doubtless be ended in a short
while. The cause of the strike, the union
men say, is the failure of some Of the dealers
to abide by scale Of prices which was
adopted by the union. A clause ia the con-
stitution of the union prevents union men
from doing any work except according to
the scale OF prices adopted.
Warrenton Clipper: A few days ago
Judge John ii. Hall of this county found
imbedded in a vein OF rock near his resi-
dence peculiar composition of metal. 1t
appears that it is composed Of silver and
lead. The specimen found was about four
inches in length by three-quarters thick,
and from all appearance the piece was In its
crude state. The small rocks on the surface
are filed with similar looking metal. A
man who has had experience in the mining
regions OF the far west says that It is a yalu-
able composition and is used for watch case
filling. If there is quantity in the rocks
sufhcient TO authorize any one to have it
worked, it will prove a blessing not ex-
pected for the people of that immediate Sec
sion.

disposition OF the goods until further action

an injunction. but appointed receiver as
prayed for.

Maxwell, who is charged with burglary and
arson, was taken up at the court house Fri
day by Justice Stilwell. Several witnesses
were introduced whose testimony all pointed
more or less to the guilt Of the prisoner and
he was bound over to the superior court In
the sum OF $3.50. The case against his wife
"a

law. and in view of the facts elected IN the
present case, was turned over to the nuthori-

Americus Tines-Recorder: Grave fears
are entertained as to the Americus Light
Infantry being able to carry its full quota
OF men to Griffin. The penalty for failure
to go into encampment Is the disbandment
OF the company. Adjt. Gen. Kell will, 10 is
stated, be rigid IN his inforcemnt of this reg
ulation. The question, therefore, as to
whether the company can carry the requi-
site number Of men to camp is a very Sc
rious one, and should be given the consid-
GRAFTON and thought it merits A reporter

lively informed that it cannot be done, un-
less the names Of lawyers who are members

Judge Fish arranges their cases so that
their clients interests will not suffer by their
absence, or adjourns court.
