GOLD 4YD HONEY " 1 YREE.

From The Humboldt Tenn Journal
On last Friday afternoon. when some ooys
who had been to the river bathing were return
ing home along the road which leads by Colonel
|. ii. Dungans farm they found bee tres
about twenty feet from the roadside. Their first
act TO procure axe and the necessary
fixtures for capturing the honey. When all
rangements were completed they proceeded to
cut down the tree. Many were the licks it took
to fell the oak, rs it was perhaps about four or
five feet in diameter and the number Of grains
running through the wood numbered about
eighty which according to the way the ages OF
trees are found. proved this one to be about
eighty years old After the tree had fallen they
quickly lighted some rags. and after the bees
had been smoked out each boy made rush to
obtain his share of the honey. After they had
well filled themselves on the delicious fruit OF the
flowers they went 10 a neighbours house near by
and secured some vessels to carry the remainder
home
They soon filled a twenty gallon stand and
honey was being taken down they some
shining object still further down in the tree
They set to work with their axe, and soon q
block was Clipped off large enough to see the
object better and it found to be pot OF
gold the value of which was $1,000. Whose IL
was and how it came to be there no one can tell
but it is supposed 10 have been put there during
the war in 1865. This valuable find has created
an excitement, and several other large trees
standing near by have been cut down, but so
far nothing else has been found Colonel Dun
gan is wild with excitement, and declares the
place now worth 100000. For further partcu-
lars in the matter see Colonel / II. DUNCAN. who
will gladly answer all Inquiries.

,rld's Merchant Marine, 1897

There has been Improvement IN TINS re
epect in the past ten years. In 1891 the
number of steam vessels registered IN the
United States was 402 and of sailing snip
903 with a total tonnage of 3,4o3, 49,
While both the number of sail craft ana
the total tonnage have decreased in the
uast ten years the number of steam yes
sells has increased. When the matter OF
epeed is taken into consideration the mer-
chant navy of 1898 is probably more ell
cient than that of a decade ago. Taking
into account the growth of the country
ana of its commercial demands, however,
Il is far less efficient than the merchant
feet possessed by the United States az
the beginning of the civil war, when the
documented tonnage was at its maximum
IS, 539 8l2 tons.
The figures in the preceding table Will
suggest to the thinking American, what
has been told him often, that a great
part of his merchant navy is employed in
coast trade and the commerce of the great
lakes. The figures on this subject arc
very striking and show that while our
salt water feet has scarcely held its own
for the past twenty years, there has been
a great expansion in internal commerce
represented by the trade of the lakes, that
this is i'm fact the only branch of our
trade to show an increase. The figures
