/ was over at the school house last
Friday evening. The pupils were
holding their literary society and 1
was surprised to see such improve
ment in the scholars writing. Their
teacher, Mr.. Hartman. is certainly do
ing his part well. When the older
men and women were children they
did not hEve the chance that the pupils
now have, consequently they cannot
write as well. / received a letter
from Bro. AXE some time ago, and
could not read a word of it. He only
hit the highest places as he went
along. The primary teacher. Miss
Steele, Ia also an excellent teacher.
Her pupils recited well; and another
thing l must speak of vas her pupils
singing. She certainly has them we'll
trained, as every n of them kept to-
gether with their singing, and they
had splendid voices. We ought to be
proud of our teachers this year.
Rev. Haycock and wife spent several
days with Mr.. Myers family last week.
Will McLothin, who was injured on
the local some months ago, is visiting
Ed. Maddox this week. We are glad
to see him around again.
Mrs. Graham and children, of Pied
mont, spent Sunday with her daughter,
Mrs. Jno. Stevenson, at this place.
Mr.. Huskey and family came up
Thursday to make their future home
with his wife's father, S. j. Jordan.
j. M. Morris and family returned to
Pennington from a trip to old Virginia
last week. l would rather visit Vir-
ginia-my old home-than any place
on earth. 1t brings back the by-gone
days, when we were boys and used to
romp barefooted up and down the
creek and catch the inny tribes. And
there is the old log school house where
the curly-headed girls and boys went
and played ball. And there is the
graveyard, whore sleep Jul fathers,
mothers, sisters and brothers. They
are sad scenes, but yet we enjoy them.
Our old friends are scattered now in
the far west, but some few still live
there and the balance have gone to
their long homes, waiting for the final
day. May God help us to go live that
we will meet them on that other shore

FROM THE LANCELL Mine
IN 50 HOURS RUN"

One of the richest strikes in gray
ell il: this locality since the stirring
days of the long-tom and rocker
was made at the Lancet gravel
mine, about two miles from this
place, this week. Percy J.. Shu-
man, the well known miner, has an
option on the property and is en-
! gagged in operating it by the n.y.
draulic process. In a run of about
eighty hours SGls ounces of gold
were cleaned up. The mint value
of the gold being S18,4l per ounce,
makes the value in dollars and cents
| Sc, 64661. The gold is all coarse
and the pile of nuggets was some
thing magnificent, putting in the
shade completely the rarest batch
of yellow metal ever brought from
the Klondike.
The largest nugget weighed two
ounces full, and there were several
others weighing but a trifle under
that. AS the gravel contains q
great amount OF clay, it naturally
follows that the above amount of
gold represents only portion of
what the gravel really contains.
The tailings are being impounded
for second washing.
The ground is all virgin and the
gravel appears to become richer as
every foot of progress is made.
Only a small force is employed at
present, but as the mine becomes
opened up and water plentiful this
fall and winter, we expect to chron-
icle even greater clean-ups from this
property.
