Il know | Oughtn't to give this

too good to keep. The other day | hap
pened to drop into the office of one OF
our campaign orators and noticed the
manuscript of a speech which he pro-
posed to deliver hat night lying on his
desk. Without thinking any harm |
picked it up and in running my eye
over the first few pages was surprised
to find the thread of the argument in
%terrupted here and there by n voice
from the audience which asked imper-
tinent questions. In each instance a
very pat answer was written down,
and l saw at ono that a little comedy
had been prepared in advance to show
off the orators skill at repartee.
81 laid the manuscript down and said
nothing, but that night | went out to
the meeting to see the fun. Knowing
exactly where the first interruption
was going to occur, | was on the alert
when the place in the speech was

tough looking individual and fired off
question No. 1.
81 must admit the scene was well
acted. When the question was asked,
the audience laughed and her waited
eagerly to hear what the speaker
would say. For a moment he seemed

A New Mining Company.

a new mining company has been
organized over valuable mining
ground at Neihart being known as
the Silver Belt mining company.
Its property is situated at the head
of Rock creek. The corporation is
for 20 years and the object is to de-
velop the Silver Belt mining claim.
The first board of directors consists
of David l.. S. Barker, Jane Barker,
Jonathan McAssey and Dollie Nc
Assey. The capitalization is for
$4,000 in $4,000 non assessable
shares. The principal place of bus
mess is Neihart.
The Silver Belt lode is a north
extension of the Broadwater group,
and lies just west of the Common
wealth. 1t was patented nine years
ago, by Jonathan McAssey, Duncan
Mcdonald and J. L. Neihart. 1t is
developed by open cuts and shafts
all along the entire course of the
main vein showing a strong ledge,
e to 8 feet in width, carrying high
grade silver ore, In many places
pay ore was encountered at the
grass roots. On account of the dis
position of the owners, this claim
has laid idle all these years, while ii
might have been a heavy producer
1t is understood that the new com
pany will work it for all it is worth

Billville In Mourning.

We are in great sorrow because
Dewey will not visit Billville. We had
killed the fatted calf and made a pair
of navy boots for him out of its hide,
and all the leading oxen of the neigh
borhood had been barbecued in his
honor.
The greasy pole which the mayor
had promised to climb in the event Of
Dewey's coming has been taken down
and chopped into firewood.
We have sent seven Billville physi-
clans to Washington to prescribe for
Admiral Dewey, and every one is
sworn to tell him that nothing in the
world will benefit him but the climate
of Billville.
Dewey's relations, $50 in number,
left yesterday for their respective
homes.-Atlanta Constitution.
