Easterling Bros. Assign.

THE LEADER regrets to announce
that Easterling Bros. dealers in gener-
al merchandise at Bogue Chitto, made
an assignment last Wednesday, nam
ing Jas. Mccormick as assignee. No
creditors are preferred. The liabili
ties of the firm are reported to be
about $4,000. The amount of assets
cannot be learned at this time. The
store of the firm was burned about
three months ago, entailing upon it a
heavy loss, from which it has struggled
in vain to rally. The immediate cause
of failure is said to be inability to real
ize ready cash on certain securities.

Whereas, The great and supreme
ruler of the universe has in his infinite
wisdom, removed from among us one
of the most worthy and esteemed fell
low laborers, Philip P. Garrett, and,
Whereas, The long and intimate re-
lation held with him in the faithful

Resolved, That the wisdom and abil-

of our church by service, contributions
and counsel will be held in grateful
remembrance.
Resolved, That the sudden removal
of such life from among us, leaves a
vacancy and shadow that will be
deeply realized by all the members and
friends of this church and will prove a
serious loss to the community and the
public.
Resolved, That with deep sympathy
for the bereaved relatives of the de-
ceased we express our hope that even
so great a loss to us all, may be over
ruled for good by Him who doeth all
things we'll.
Resolved, That copy of these reso-

first of the week for the election of a
new board of directors and the trans
action of such other business as might
properly come before the meeting, 49,,

The meeting was harmonious in

secretary and treasurer; Samuel Still
man, w. r. Bowden, John Angove and
William r. Kempe.
The report of Superintendent w. r.
Bowden, which was submitted TO the
meeting, demonstrated the fact that
the property of the company was in
most f1ourishing condition, and was
adopted.
In this report it was shown that the
lower tunnel being driven for the pur-
pose of cutting the Century ledge at
considerable depth was now in very
favorable ground and it is expected

body within the next two or three

that a plant will be in operation on

Before the adjournment of the meet
ing it was decided to place a block of
:, 900 shares of the treasury stock of
the company on the market at the
nominal figure of rs cents a share.
President White will leave for the
mine on the 18th inst. with a force of
men with the intention of resuming
work in the development of the prop
erty.
The Century group of mines are To-
Gated in Box Elder county, this state,
and the indications are that this
ground will open out into one of the
leading gold producers in the west.
The Century ore is free milling and
the metal in its native state can plain
ly be seen in a great deal of the rock |

exists in large deposits. The veins |
