The Buckhorn Mining Company
of which Gilbert d. Gray is presid-

Now the road is being built direct

B. f. Porter is one of the most
fortunate men engaged in mining.
Recently he invested n few dollars
in prospecting ledge near Wick
enburg that carried a few dollars
in gold and fair showing in silver
as shown by assays OF samples
taken along the ledge. Develop
ment work has opened a body of
ore, that while running reasonable
well in gold, is phenominally rich
in silver. Assays made of samples
have shown values of 5000 ounces
to the ton in silver, while speci-
mems are abundant that show silver
to be Il large per cent of the ore, in
fact, some ore contains so much
metal as to render it maleable.

Mr.. Geo. N. Conard warns us to
keep his name out of our paper.
Mr.. Conard prabably, has not
posted himself on the rights of a free
press. His range don't include Our
Mineral Wealth. However we will
endeavor to comply with his request
as the name of Conard lends no
particular luster to Our Mineral
Wealth columns that we know Of.
If in the future we are called upon
to print the name of COnard as a
matter Of news, we will do him
justice as we have in the past. AS
far as this paper is concerned a
mans private business is his own,
his public acts, especially when the
county pays the freight, belongs to
The public and is legitimate news
for the newspapers. A newspaper
should always be fair to both sides
and this paperendeavors to do that
at all times which accounts for its
large and increasing circulation
The people respect a paper that
stands up for the rights of man in
the face Of angry billowS that surge
and foam at the mouth, spit smoke
and hot air in a vain endeavor to in
timidate, brow beat and cocrce a
man from his "plain duty" When
Mr.. Conard Or any other man acts
as censor on this 16 to /, blow in the

Bryan, chilled face set to cold and
eat, seasoned with hot air and gas,

orator and statesman of national fame,
Hon. Dar w. Voorhees,, of Indiana, who

KELLY THOMPSON
KEPT BLIND TIGER

Kelly Thompson, a we'll known
negro barber, who for several
years past has conducted shop
in the basement of the Beard
building at the corner of Main
and Market streets, was arrested
late last Thursday afternoon on
the charge of running blind I'll
ger. He was taken before Act
ing Mayor Stevens, and was re-
leased on bond in the sum of one
hundred dollars. He will prob
ably have trial tomorrow, and
the police claim that they have
proof which is amply sufficient
to secure his conviction.

NO STREET CAR LINE.

Capt. &. A. Johnston, the fl
nancial representative of the
Columbus Light and Power Co.,
who has recently returned from a
lengthy visit to Chicago, with
er he went for the purpose of in
teresting foreign capital in the
construction Of street railway
in Columbus, informs The Com
mercial that his efforts in that
line were unsuccessful, and that
as the company has not suffic-
lent funds to construct the line
that the project has, for the
time at least, been abandoned.
He states, however, that the
company hopes to be able to put
in the line at some future date,
and that in the meantime be-
tween thirty and forty thousand
dollars will be expended in the
Improvement of the gas and
electric light plants.

Theatrical folk are noted the
world over for their kind hearts
and altruistic natures, and the
fact that this reputation is well
deserved was exemplified in this
city last Monday by the concern
which the ladies and gentlemen
of the ''Reaping the Harvest"
company manifested in the case
of Mrs. Kronts, the late member
of the Captain Jinks" company
who died here last week. Infor-
nation regarding her demise had
reached them before their arrival
here, and the circumstances sur
rounding the sad affair were
eagerly sought. They were re-
ceived most graciously by the
ladies who were with Mrs. Kronts
during her last hours, and, ac-
companied by them, Mr.. and
Mrs. LaPearl and Misses Myna
Ketcham and Isabel Sherman,
members of the company, visited
the cemetery and placed flowers
on the grave of the dead woman.
Although Mrs. Krunts was not
known to single member of the
"Reaping the Harvest" COM
pany, they each and every one
took a personal interest in the
case simply because she was a
member of the theatrical profess
sion. Loyalty is one of the no
blest traits of mankind, and no
one can deny the fact that, while
there may be some petty jealous
les among stage people, they are
always loyal and true to each
other, and are always ready to
perform a beneficent act for any
member of the profession who is
in distress, at any time.

FACTS AND
FALLACIES.
AFTER THE FAIR.

A young man who had bet on the races
to mis- uncle spoke,
Lend me five dollars, do please, I'm
broke,
I bet my last dollar on the hindmost
mare,
That's why feel go mournful, after the
fair.
After the fair is over, after your money
has gone,
That's the time you are feeling sore and
forlorn,
Many a pocket is empty, many purse
is bare,
Many a fellows disgusted, after the
fair.
But there's consolation, there'll be an
other fair next year,
And then our earnings may bring to US
good cheer,
All our favorite horses may win by a
city block,
Then we'Il all be happy, and not feel
disposed to knock.

GILMORE UNDER ARREST

James Gilmore, who some time

Lomia at Fort Morgan, and is
being held subject to further or

ECHOES OF THE FAIR.


and West Alabama Fair Associa
tion are very much pleased with
the outcome of the fair. More
than eighteen hundred dollars
were taken in at the gates, anC
the exhibition netted nice profit
1t is the desire of the board tC
expend the profits accruing from
the exhibition in the improve
ment of the track and grounds
but in order to do this more oi
the company's stock will have tC
be sold, for there are sixteen
hundred dollars still due on the
purchase price of the grounds,
and unless additional stock is
sold, the funds in hand will have
to be applied to the payment of
this debt. The company, under
it's charter, has an authorized
capitalization of ten thousand
dollars, but only about thirty
five hundred dollars worth of
stock has been sold. When the
enterprise was in it's infancy and
the question as to whether or not
it would be successful was prob
lematical one, the people were
not to be blamed for the timidity
which they displayed in invest
ing their money, but now that it
has been established on a firm
basis, and the fact that the stock
is really worth something has
been established, the citizens of
Lowndes and adjoining counties
ought to come forward and in
vest their money. The directors
are exceedingly anxious to sell
three or four thousand dollars
worth of additional stock within
the next six months, and it is to
be hoped that they will succeed
in doing so.
THE TEXTILE EXHIBIT.
The Mississippi Textile School
is to be complimented very highly
for its exhibit of woven fabrics,
consisting of plaids, ginghams.
shirtings, lawns, etc. The ex-
hibit and machinery was in
charge of Prof. Frederick A.
Abbott, asristed by Mr.. J. w.
Maxwell, a former student of the
school. The school is fortunate
in securing such n competent
man as Prof. Abbott, who dem
onstrated here that he was a
thoroughly practical mill man,
besides being a designer of great
skill. The looms consisted of a
Crompton C Knowles box loom
and a Mason Dolby which was
fine lawn valued at 40
cents per yard, weighing s yards
to the pound. The looms were
kept in running order by Mr.. w.
E. Morton and Mr.. J. G. Upton,
students of Prof. Abbott. These
students also secured two first
prizes in fancy designing
showing the rapid advancement
they have made during the past
term.
Upon being interviewed re-
the place where his ma
chimes were to run, Prof. Abbott
remarked that it was not quite
as good as the place where the
had come from, but he
to get good results in
spite of the many obstacles that
presented themselves, with the
result that the looms were weav-
ing cloth to the satisfaction of
every one who was fortunate to
see them. Prof. Abbott distrib-
uted over 800 yards of cloth that
was woven by students in the

people were disappointed in not
