A silver quarter dated 1891 was
cut out of the shoulder of a mule be-
longing to Col. q. L. Willitord, OF
Madison, Ga, a few days ago. The
animal was lame, and the veterin
ary surgeon thought he located the
trouble in a hard lump on the
shoulder, cutting into which he dis.
covered the coin. An almost simi.
lar case Of coin being cut out Of a
horses shoulder occurred in Mis-.
souri, recently. The facts seem all
right, and all that is needed to round
out the stories is information as to
how the coins got there.

F. A. Williams and five compan.
ions, who have been prospecting on
Boggy creek, in Washita county,
Oklahoma, during the recent gold
excitement, followed the creek for
more than 100 miles, and near its
source, in the wilds of Roger Mills
county, Texas, came upon the site
of an old Spanish town that seemed
to have had 900 inhabitants. They
also struck old mining pits in
abundance, and say that they found
gold and silver on creek called
Gascarado. In some of the pits
rude mining implements were
found.

been exhausted.
When all the present subscribers shall
have paid up the completion of the fltst
section OF the road. between Broad street

assured. and there will be probably
enough balance on hand to do portion
of the second section, which extends from
the railroad 20 the Hermitage road. only
