Houston, Saturday. March I.
There has been continued activity In
the wholesale trade OF Houston for the
past week and the feeling is one OF buoy
ancy. While the bad weather prevailing
over the State for several days caused
some decrease In the number Of orders. the
volume Of business was up to the average
for the time of the year. Jobbers believe
that spring trade will open earlier than
usual this year. and have been adjusting
affairs 10 that end. Retail merchants over
the state take the same view OF the situa-
ton. and are adding largely to their stocks.
Everything indicates an Increased acreage
OF the staple crops, and that means the
circulation of good deal Of ready money.
In fact, all existing conditions are favor
able to steady prosperity, 10 the malnten-
ance of prices. and to return to the ia
vorahle conditions OF before the days Of

SOMEWHERE neal

SOMEWHERE near this
town there is a rich deposite
of lead, but it's exact location
is not known, nor can it be
found. But there are those
living here who can remem-
Der that before the late war
men would 60 to this mine
and take the ore and melt it
by a common fire and run it
into balls to use in hunting,
which was at that time the
chief occupation of the in =
habitants of this country.
Very little attention was
paid to it at that time, and
now that the people realize
the worth Of such a thing, it
can't be found. The men
who, 40 years ago knew the
location of the mine, have all
gone to their rewards in an
unknown world. 1t, how.
ever, is known to be some
where near here, and will no
doubt some day be found
and worked.
