Treo.urc Hunt I'm Texas.

Eighty thousand dollars in gold and
silver bullion is the sum which a band
of fortune hunters in Texas are looking
for; or, at least, they think they are
looking for it. The story which started
them on their search is that some years
ago n wagonload of the precious metals
was thrown into dcep spring near
Carrizo, Tex, to prevent its falling into
the hands of brigands. Only one man
who was aware of the hiding place sur
vivcd the fight with the robbers, and
the present searching party was organ

In Georgia town lives girl of H.,
with the intellect of an infant. She
was bright enough until she reached the
age of seven, and then she began to
lose memory and speech. The case was
a puzzle to physicians, until a young
member of the profession announced
that her skull was too small to permit
the brain to grow. This suggested the
idea of enlarging the skull, and, such
are the triumphs of modern surgery,
the operation was performed, the girl
survived it, and now, after the lapse of a
month. she is physically as well as ever
and the mental improvement is most
marked. Perhaps, some day, we can

the plate-layer, who had now got close
up TO the box; but then he, too, caught

An Enterprise That Few of Our Peopl,
Realize the Importance Of.
a visit to the Jonesboro Yarn Mill
made a few days ago was both a pleas.
ure and Il surprise to us. We knew
that the factory was on a better footing
than ever before, and we also knew
that the present management was
making a success of it,, but we had no
idea that 1t was a concern of SO much
importance, especially to the people
Of J%onesboro as what it is. The paw
roll amounts to about $500 per month,
all of which is spent here in Jonesboro,
and this alone is an item of no small
moment; and had the company &C.
~commodations for them they would
employ.a double force running day
and night. That they would be iusti
lied in so doing is shown by the fact
that the orders received are more than
double their present production. This
state of things is due to the uniform
excellent character of the goods they
turn out; and this again is the result
of good, business like management in
all things connected with the enter.
prise.
Since last June nearly SO, 1000 worth
OF new machinery of the latest and
most approved character has be,n
bought and put to running, and the
output is jus'ifying the wisdom of this
heavy expenditure, as no better yarn
can be found on the market. One
pleasing feature is that the mill does
not have to seek buyers, but, on the
contrary, can not meet the wants of ali
who want to buy.
The foreman is man who Thoroughly
understands his business, has had long
experience in the manufacture of
yarns, knows the factory from end to
end, aud is trustworthy and faithful to
his employees.
For years the Jonesboro Cotton Mill
was not a subject for discussion except
In tone of contempt and derision. II
had failed to accomplish what had
been expected of it, and when the
present manage aent took hold it WAS
worth on the market about what 80
much scrap iron would have brought.
But this is changed now. Last June,
when Messrs. Cooper and Kirkpatrick,
representing the two local banks which
had bought the factory, and Mr.. Mathes.
the present manager, began to organ
lze the concern and put it on q business
like basis, they undertook a much
more serious job than many of our
people know of. An entirely new and
different plan had to be sought on
which to operate the factory, and it
was left to these young business men
to discover it. But that didn't bother
them. They simply applied the rules
OF business they had been practicing
n put them into operation, and the
result was success from the start.
The mill is now turning out about
2,lO0 pounds of yarn each day. and
everything is running as smooth as it
10 possible for a business to do. Jones
boro should congratulate herself on
having such successful bushes. men
