GUNTERsvILLE.
New Court House-Large Porkers-Corn 25
and 80 Gents Per Bushel.

New Court House-Large Porkers-Corn rs
and 80 Gents Per Bushel.
Guntersville, Nov. 4.-(Special Core
spondence.)-The new court house at this
place is being built Tor the ~"court house
is building') rapidly, and within another
week the walls will be completed.
We have had some cold, rainy days
in this section and bad colds are so nu-
merous that nearly every man you meet
is blowing and snorting like q hippopota-
mus.
Did you know that the red mussels
which abound in our rivers grow very
pretty pearls and that some of our fish
ermen make it profitable during low
stages of water gathering these pearls
and marketing them? Well, It's SO,
whether you knew it or not.
Hickory nuts are abundant in the
creek and river bottoms hereabouts, and
persons are giving from 80 to so bushel
for them to ship to other markets.
Mr.. John Gilbreath of Guntersville has
three hogs which are q little over year
old that will weigh about $50 pounds
each, and he has two others of the same
age that will average over 300 each.
There is very little corn selling in this
section Of the country yet, but where it
has sold 1 understand it has brought
25 and 30 cents a bushel. 1t takes a good
deal of corn to enrich q planter at these
figures.
Guntersville has several new stores
opening up and the indications are that
times are getting little better and bus
mess is reviving some; but the reaction
is probably the result of the gathering
of the crops.
John Baxter says that If A owes B $500
and B wants AS horses and cattle at half
price that the beneficent operations of
the gold standard affords B the safest,
surest and easiest way to enjoy his de-
sire without stealing them.
Judge T. A. Street returned from Nash
vile last Thursday, where he has been to
have a surgical operation performed. He
is improving rapidly and will probably
be in his office today.

rival in commerce of that section of the
world there is every reason why we
should not pull her chestnuts out OF the
fire. The proposed railroad would open
up an immense domain for the inter-
change of trade. and by directing our in
huence In the right direction, we ought
to secure a very large share of it. The
Northern Asiatic country is rich in nat
ural resources, which, with this means of
reaching market would be virtually
so much wealth added to the worlds
stock. Furthermore, the Siberian people
are entitled. on the grounds of humanity,
to an outlet to the sea. Siberia is an iso-'

the United States to prevent the people
of that country from securing this one

Circuit Court in Session-Silver Craze Not

spondence )-Circuit court, Judge Tyson
presiding, has been at work on the civil
docket this week and will take up the
criminal docket next Monday.
The South Ala bama fair will open here

We find that the silver craze is not yet

Gated there, about four miles below
the Falls. The mine, 80 he says,
was located on the Goth day Of May
by two men named Mayhem and

have been working two shifts, four
men and team to each shift, and
are taking out an average of $65 to
each shift, or $3.50 every twenty
four hours. The men who located
the claim were practically green at
the business, who hardly knew the
colors, and the ground located BY
them was simply an experiment, az
it has been looked over by exper-
fenced miners several times and
considered worthless. The gold
taken out is the Of finest quality
and brings them $22 an ounce. The
mine has been christened the Gold
