have a resurvey and classification

ding the rssurvey Of your county
and the confirmation OF state
ments made in 1884 regarding the
mineral bearing zone which seems
in many cases to have been con-
frmed, and he thinks il your pub
lie spirited citizens will contribute
a portion of the expense and offer
it through some official of the
county to the u. s. Geological Sur
vey, the latter may allot an equal
sum for geological work in your
county.
"If this can not be done, il is
scarcely likely that the U. s. Geo
logical Survey can reach your ter
ritory for several years to come.
This country of ours is great one
and we are under continued pres
sure for survey work in all parts
of it. Those parts, however, that
have to bear part of the expense
have, of course, taken precedeuce,
and must continue to do 30, since
the Survey is after the greatest
result possible with the sum ap-
by Congress.

eight hundred people witnessed
the delightful exercises of the
high school graduates Saturday

Thursday evening seventeen
young ladies and gentlemen of the
common school class entertained
a most appreciative audience. Fri.
day evening the remaining CON-
mon school graduates appeared
before the footlights. The ora.
tions on both evenings were splen-
did. The subjects were all inter
esting, and the large audiences
were most appreciative. Mr.. Eu-
gene Joiner, the valedictorian of
the class, paid Miss Alice Brown
ing, the eighth grade instructor, a
beautiful and highly deserved tri-
butte. For years Miss Browning
has had charge OF the common
school department, and under her
instruction over two hundred
young ladies and gentlemen have
labored faithfully and secured the

We publish extracts from Mr..
James speech, answering two of
Mr.. Crossland's charges against
the committee. The answers are
to the point and completely de-
molish Mr.. Crossland's claim that
he did not have time to make a
canvass. The proof is conclusive
that he was making a personal
canvass more than a year ago, and
yet he heaps abuse upon the COM
mittee upon the specious claim
that he was not given time to can
vass. Another of his pleas is that
the expenses Of the primary was
unfair TO him. Notwithstanding
the committee asked the people to
hold the primary without charge,
he claims that because the COM
mittee provided for any ex-
pense that might occur that it was
an attempt to shut him out These
were two points that Mr.. Cross
land shed great crocodile tears
over, and now the fallacy Of his
argument is made plain. His 9TH
