The rumOr that gold and silver has been
discovered at North Industry is causing
excitement. The story of
its discovery is not unlike the first discov-
cry of gold in California. A gang Of men
were digging ditch on the Harricr farm
to drain the water away from a shale
bank where they We're getting out shalc
for the brick works, The clay that was
thrown out of the ditch after laying in
the sun for some time appeared to con-
tain something besides clay The clay
was washed and about tea-spoonful of
gold was gotten out. This gold was
brought to the jcwclry store of Mr. Dcu-
BILE, of Canton, who pronounced it as fine
an article of gold as had ever been in his
store. 1t Is said that the workmen have
gotten out nuggets of gold rs big as
pea. The hills around North Industry
are said TO be very rich in other minerals
beside coal. A vein Of lead ore is said to
be located in the creek and to be Of
enough value to pay for its working,
POrcelaine clay and silver ore are also said
to exist in paying quantities in the hills !
An investigation of the discovery on the
Harrier farm is now being made and if it
proves satisfactory prospecting will be
pushed in the hills around that
locality.

Talk Of ghosts recalls the incident of
;ome Canton boys who caused the de-
of a school house near Sparta
crowd Of Cantonians went on a hunting
expedition and having no shelter for the
light took possession of an old unused
school house which bore very bad repu-
alton. Several years before pcddler
vas found in the said school house with a
lnife in his heart and ever since that
lime his spirit was said TO wander forth at
he midnight hour. The young citizens
Tere in blissful ignorance Of this fact
however and proceeded TO enjoy them
elves. Accordingly an old musty closet
vas duly explored and several white gowns
md tall caps donned in high glce. A
Dit Of candle served to light the way and
he attic was also explored. None of the
,arty slept that night and the moon
hone in the creaking door and broken
window like an astonished eye The next
morning when the boys came back that
way the building lay in smoking ruins.
Meeting an old farmer he told how he and
lis brother Ike were returning from the
ity the night before and passing the
launted school house they heard shrieks
nd looking up at the attic window,
which was lighted, saw two ghosts, so
We burned down the burned ole place to
,it rid of them"
