spindle mill near to but separate from
their present plant. There was call
ed meeting of the stockholders there
on Tuesday, which was attended by
our local capitalist, Mr.. John H. Craig,

We are glad to learn that very rich
vein Of brown ore has been found at
the Catawba mine in what is known
as The Furman shaft. For sometime
the company has been sinking this
shaft deeper, believing they would
strike a vein of ore. Last week their
anticipations were realized when at a
considerable depth they found this
nice, rich vein OF. ore. AS yet they
cannot tell what it will assay or what
may be the extent of it; but should it
continue as found, they have a fat
thing. We are glad for these people
that they are about to be repaid for
their expenditures, for they have been
at heavy outlay and deserve success
in their industry. MIR. Beattie Go.

and gave US a pleasant call. He in,
formed us that it was the first time be
had been in the place in seven years,
lacking only few days. Mr.. Goforth
has not been in good health, which
accounts for his long stay from our
town. He is now much improved in
his throat trouble and will doubtless
visit us oftener. 1.-The Lincoln Jour.

attacked Mrs. Beaver, wife of the
Baptist minister, and Miss Mamie
Plott, but both ladies fought it of
with umbrellas. 1t then attacked and
bit John T. Plott, the 16-year-old son
of Mr.. G. R. Plott, inficting a slight
wound on his hand. Then it bit Mr.
Lorenzo Heavier on the thigh. 1t
also bit cow belonging to DR.. Kluttz
and a number of dogs. Immediately
after he was bitten, young Plott had
DR.. Kluttz to cut out the flesh around
the wound. His father came at once
for The Journals maidstone and it was
applied at once. 1t did not stick to
young Plott's wound, but adhered to
that of Mr.. Heavier for half an hour,
The prompt action taken by young
Plott and the fact that Mr.. Heavier
was bitten through his clothing, re-
lieves their minds of hydrophobia.
