Stick to the Prospect.

A great many prospectors make the
mistake of not combining themselves
to their prospects. 1t l. the prospect
that makes the mine. and it should be
followed until it has been proven be-
yond peradventure that it is some
thing more than blowout or a body
of local extent. Many pro ,pectors find
an outcrop of ore on the side or apex
of hill, scrape around 1t for few
feet, then go down the hill and begin
an expensive tunnel; or, they will dis
cover the ontcrop of what they assume
to be horizontal ore body, aud, going
back on the hill, will begin a shaft.
They expect to ''catch" the ore at so
many feet, but they assume too much.

"reminiscences.

| DtT,
The house where | was born;
The chores had to rise and do
At 4'clock each morn;
The woodboS that was empty,
The coal | had to lug,
The snowbanks piled against the
steps
In which toiled and dug.
remember, l rememb Der,
Tns blamed old drag aud pIow,
That kept me humping every spring
And brought sweat to my brow;
The stones used to run against,
The plow points that I'd break,
The hot old job in haying time,
A-riding on the rake.
remember, | remember,
A job, twas out of sight;
Twas milking twelve or fifteen COWS,
Both morning and at night;
remember, with vengeance
The show that would prevail
When some old brindle COW would get
Her foot in my milkpail.

The woodpile and tho AK,
The tough old chunks of maple that
Withstood my best attacks;
The garden that had To weed,
The corn / had to hoe,
The latter bugs had to kill
IL tatters we would grow.

referred to in these columns
Official reports of the carriers on
these routes show that the people
along the routes realize and appreciate
these benefits. Not only does the free
delivery system greatly accommodate
them in the prompt daily delivery of
mail but it has caused an increase of
fifty percent. in the amount of mail
delivered and collected.
'The people along the routes,' said
Postmaster Bailey yesterday, ARE not
only writing more letters than they
ever before did, but so excellent have
become their mail facilities that they
are subscribing for daily and weekly
papers and magazines in great num-

not pay any attention to the call.
The grand jury yesterday complet-
ed it's work and was discharged. They
returned thirty-eight true bills, and
made their usual inspection. Their re-
port IS rs follows:
''8Ne beg leave to report that we HAYS
carefully heard and deliberated on
all the evidences given to us and have
found true bills in thirty-eight cases
and have returned them to court. We
have visited the Jail of Wake county
and found it in good order. and in
good sanitary condition, and all Of
the prisoners report that they have
no complaint to make as to treatment,
etc.
.sWe sent committee to visit the
Home of the Age and Infirm. and the
Work House quarters and found
all matters pertaining to them in first
class order. the inmates reporting
that they were fed with good, whole
some food and that they did not have
any cause to complain OF anything.
'sWe visited the office of the Regis
ter of Deeds and made investigation
in regard to property, solvent credits,
etc. listed for taxation.
''We visited the different rooms of
the court house and found them i'm
very fair condition.
From reports from Road Supervisor
the roads seem to be in fairly good
condition, but a great deal Of com
plant has been made of some of the
roads in the Road District surround
ing Raleigh, n. c. While some OF them
are receiving permanent improve
ments, others are entirely neglected
and have not been worked in two or
three years.
"We also visited the office of the
clerk of the court and found all o.
his matters in good shape in regard
to bonds of guardians, etc"

| Wilder, who rode against Mrs. Wealth
ers. He was found guilty and sen
fenced to four months on the roads.
An appeal to the Superior court was
taken.
The sentence against George Strick-
land was changed to four months. He

THE DOG AND PONY SHOW.
Animals and Tricks That Delightel the Lit e
Folks.

The little folk trooped out to che
Cameron field yesterday by the hundreds.
Gentrys dog and pony show was there.
The big folk went by the hundreds, too.
In many cases it took several grown peo-
pie to carry enc child, and in other
cases those that had no child borrowed
one, and everybody was happy.
It's the greatest show of the kind on
earth and of course nobody wanted to
miss it, so the tent was crowded at
formances.
II was all very fine. The intelligence
displayed by the dogs, ponies. elephants
and monkeys was truly marvellous. The
grown folks enjoyed it Quite as much IS
the little ones The monkeys did some
excellent tricks on the high trapeze and
also some skillful riding. The ponies went
through military evola,ions like veteran
soldiers. The elephants did sore ine
work that showed great training. and
the dogs, little dogs, big Hogs, were pres
ent at every stage Of the game, doin :
something funny or something difficult
and unexpected. There are dogs that
walk on their hind legs, dogs that walk
on their front legs, dogs that leap in
credible heights and distances, dogs that
waltz, dogs that turn somersaults and
dogs that talk lin the bow-wow Ian
guage) The ponies seem mere numerous
than ever before.
The fine program winds up with a
burning house and a thrilling rescue act,
in which dogs and monkeys are the act
ors. One of the monkeys seems to par
ticularly enjoy changing the fire gong on
his truck, and all enter heartily into the;
spirit of the thing.
