Editorial Notes.
From the Denton Journal.

For several years the Baltimore Sun has
fought nearly all Democrats of prominence in
public affairs in this state, utterly ignoring
the fact that it had attained its undoubted
prestige by Democratic assistance and sup
port Of late nothing has been too little to
be employed to harass or annoy those at whom
it has aimed its malicious arrows. A few days
ago there appeared in that paper bogus in
teryiew with Senator Gibson, and that gentle
man was made by the types to say that he re-
CARDS the condition of the Democraeyin Mary
land as utterly hopeless, etc. The facts that
the Senator had not made any such statement;
that he had said nothing which could in any
way be construed into the Suns language or
meaning, and that he had not talked with
Sun reporter for month, made no difference
to the publishers. They, although informed
of the Imposition, would make no correction
the story would have to go with the rest of
its kind. 1t ought to occur to the Sun that
there is fast coming day when its Demo
cratic patrons will have reckoning with it.

The Baltimore Sun of Monday says: The
Baltimore police are looking for man who
obtained various sums of money from Mr..
lack Hale, farmer, living near Grave Run
Mills, Baltimore county. The man formerly
worked for Mr.. Hale, during which time be
learned that Mr.. James Hare. a nephew of
Mr. Hale, lived near Arlington, Baltimore
county.
Last week, it it said, the man informed Mr.;
Hale that his nephew had been murdered and
buried near Arlington. Mr. Hale wanted the
body taken to Hampstead, and, after giving
the man money to defray expenses, went to
Arlington with him to get his nephew's body.
On their arrival the man stated that it was
necessary to have physicians certificate,
and that for So he would get one. The money
was handed over. The man, instead of re-
turning with the certificate, decamped and
has not been seen since.
Mr.. Hale, after waiting some time for the
mans return, sought the aid of Patrolman
John Buck and Mr.. D. NJ. Hoffman. He
discovered his nephew alive and we'll at his
home.

In pursuance to a call by Rev. B. W. Kind

Creek NJ. P. Church met on Saturday even
ing, January 18th last, at the residence of Mr..

tain 25 large squares each of which to con-

with the purchasers name written on them in

apiece, and thus realize the sum of $3.50. The
guests commenced arriving at o'clock, and
were received by the host and hostess, assisted

GEoRGIA's GOLD FEVER.
A Rush to Open Mines i'll That
State-Some Returns Thus Far.

DAHLoNEGA, GA, Jan. 19.-There is re-
vival III gold mining in this region, fully 100
mines being in operation. During the past
two weeks the city has been full ofprospectors
from Cripple Creek, who are taking options
on the property. Among them is James
Doyle, the big Cripple Creek operator. Sur
face ore is all that has been previously worked,
but recently, in experiments here, Mr.. French
of Pittsburg, Pa, has demonstrated that the
colonization process is a successful way of
treating sulphuret ores. Betz, the Philadel-
phia brewer, and Christian Vail of Miwau
kee, have obtained very rich assays, the latter
having had ore to run as high as 81, 100 to
the ton, while Judge Murray of Tennessee,
who is tunneling mountain near here, struck
three rich veins which run from 500 to $500.
All this ore is saprolite, or dscomposed, and
is easily mined. The Creighton mines, south
west of here, yielded 6S, 600 pennyweights last
year, while the owners of the Holly Springs
mines have taken out $500 in the last few
months, using ten-stamp mill.
The whole region is excited. Veins which
are mere ribbons on the surface run together
at varying depths and widen out to 10, so and
100 feet with increasing richness as they 60
down. One company is being organized to
put in large plant with 200 stamp mill and
another syndicate is getting ready to put IN
$50 stamp mill with chlorination plant large
enough TO treat all the concentrates from 900
stamps
