Our Dumb Animals.
IT'S banner of gold and scarlet
October filings to the breeze,
And none other of all the twelve

Can boast such colors as these.
For the trees that through all the sum

Have been dressed in the darkest
green,
Now hanging with red and yellow
In most gorgeous gowns are seen.
The golder-rod flames by the roadside
And over the fences old,
Till each meadow is fast becoming
The Field of the Cloth of Gold.
And even the sun in his setting,
When he slowly sinks from view
And looks over the world of color,
Has caught the golden hue.

The tower has been shipped from

the contract to-day for erecting the
same. It will be erected on concrete
foundation, as the earth there is soft,

Cor. Raleigh POST The United
States Smelling and Refining Company
has purchased of Mr.. Il. l.. Probst ten
acres of ground near Charlotte. At an
early date this company will erect a
smelling and refining plant at cost
of nearly 100000.
Mr.. Meach, OF New York, who is In
charge of the company's business, ne
gotlated the purchase and will superin-
tend the building of the works.
For some time the need of such plant
has been found to be necessity. The
mining industry of Mecklenburg has
grown to such proportions that the
mine owners find that they can hardly
operate without the existence OF a
smelling and refining plant where they
can make their ores in any antiquity
and have them reduced.
