A farmer living just across the line
in an adjacent county. who a couple OF
months since discontinued his sub
scriptiou to the REGISTER, came into
the Office last Saturday and said Il
want you to put my name on your list
again" AS he was going out he re-
marked to a neighbor who was with
him, 1.-The REGISTER is the best county
paper ever saw. | would rather pay
$3.50 year for it than ten cents for
any paper published in my county

I'd try and get along without 1t, but

DR.. T. R. Gouldlng informs us that
NJ. t. Kesling, Aaron Elliot and Banks
Reagan are sinking a shaft on his
place prospecting for gold. The pro-
moters say that the gold has been To-
Gated with a switch, just like the
''water-witch" determines where to
dig for water for well. Mr.. Kesling,
it is understood, located the mine.
We never knew of precious metals be-
ing found in just this way before, but
the prospectors have our wishes for
the greatest possible success. They
maintain the gold is near the surface
and expect to strike it rich. The DR..
says a great deal of digging has been
done on the side of Shepherd noun
tain, near his home, by parties hunt
ing for gold, during the past few
weeks. Why not have Klondike
right at home?
