This town suffered with the rest dur
ing the rain of Saturday night and

The river channel from the tScott'

elder and H. o. Cobb. Several of Mrs.
Metcalf's nice maple trees were swept
away. Mrs. Metcalf vas driven from

and ice. The highway was rendered
impossible, and it took a gang of 80
men to clear it out on Monday. One
bridge on the road leading to Z. b.

The Spring and Summer STYLES.

The new Easter hats are upon a
frame work with a foundation either
of wire or of open work straw. If of
wire, they are covered with chiffon
puffings. and each little puff is gath
cred to make it lie fiat, although it is
very full. In this soft bed of chiffon
are set roses and from the sides there
peep out many a wandering rose. There
is ribbon upon the hat, arranged in
bows and choux, and there may be a
bright ornament of steel The shapes
are quite different from the shapes of
last year, so different, in fact. that one
must worry about ones old shape, and
work diligently with it, to adapt it to
the present modes The crowns are
higher, and the brims are broader,
while the elaboration is more complete.

February % The verdict of the coun-
ty court last fall, to which exceptions

80, 1893 and March 26, 1897. The
jury found that the maker was OF
sound mind, and that the three instru-

Gold Mining Begun at Wilmington.

Active operations were begun at the
plant of the Mountain Mills Gold Min
ing company in Wilmington last week.
The results thus far obtained have
been very satisfactory to the manage
ment. The outfit consists of huge
rooster of so tons daily capacity and a
crusher of 25 tons capacity, with three
modern and expensive amalgamators.
Power for the crusher is supplied from
Mountain Mills pond, which reduces the
cost of running to the minimum. The
plant was installed at cost of about
$4,000. The cost of separating the
gold from the quartz is about So per
ton. The average test thus far has
been 500 per ton, and if this standard
is sustained. the success of the project
is assured. The present plant will en-
ploy from 25 to 80 hands the year round.
