Prof. r. S. Thurman of St. Louis
spent a couple OF days here this week.
He wants to get out in the country for
the benefit of his wife's health, and
contemplates starting here a training
school for the preparation of young
people to enter colleges or universities,
or to prepare them for engaging in any
line of business. He has been an in
structor for forty years, and comes
very highly recommended. We hope
he will succeed in his enterprise, but
he cannot do so unless the people show
q proper appreciation and do their
part.-Jefersom Democrat.
Jas. H. Bell of near Black was in
town on Monday. MI. Bell has found
lead on his land, q sample Of which he
showed US. The piece he showed US
was q very fine quality Of lead. He
also showed Us two or three pieces of
..Rosin Jack" which he said had heen
found by Tillman Terry, who lives
near Goodland. and close to the line
between Reynolds and Iron counties.
The s.Rosin jack or copper has been
found on the farm Of a Mr.. Croker
living in this county, a couple o. miles
east of Mr.. Terry's place. A diamond
drill has been purchased and was

neighborhood. Options have been
taken on most of the land near these
places.-Regn0IdS Outlook.
