The G. z. Social.

Tuesday evening the Christian
Endeavor society of the Presby-
terrain church gave a dime social
mt the Library. The evening was
spent in games and music and
everybody had a good sociable
time. Cards, with six numbers
were given to the guests, and it
was necessary to fill these cards
the same as a dance program, but
instead of dancing, each gentle
man wac 20 sit for five minutes
with his partner and discuss a
subject which was given out.
Considerable amusement was ere.
ated during the progress of the
game by the subjects. One of
the subjects was: "Have you used
Pears soap" A card with the
different things to be found on a
dime, with blank spaces for the
answer, was given out, and after
much borrowings of dimes and more
less brain work, the blank spaces
were filed. A peanut walk was
also a feature of the entertain
ment. The person who could
march around the room several
times aud keep six peanuts or as
many of the six as possible, on an
extended knife blade was to have
all the peanuts. 1t resulted in
no one getting the peanuts.

OF GREAT VALUE.
A Very Important State Gathering and
One Of Great Value In Bringing About
the Development Of Our Resources.

The Second Annual Industrial
Convention is attracting 4 large
share of attention among our lead
ing men. From present appear
ances 1t will be the most repre-
sentative body and the most pop
ular gathering ever assembled in
the state. Governor Richards is
taking deep interest in the forth
coming meeting, and, being chair
man of the executive committee,
he is in close touch with all that
is going on to make the conven-
ton successful.
In speaking of the prospects
the governor said to a Leader rep
resentative on Wednesday MORN
ing:
yes, the Industrial Conven.
ton will, without doubt, be an
event worthy Of our prosperous
commonwealth, hat is, there is
every indication that there will
come to Cheyenne as delegates on
that occasion a large number of
prominent men of Wyoming.
These men are earnest and they
realize that they hold in their
hands the destiny of our young
and 81 wing state. The impor-
lance Of the development of
our resources are fully appreciat-
ed by this class and through this
convention much good will be &C.
complished for the people of Wy
oming.
The meeting that WAS held in
Laramie last year was of great
value to all our counties in the
way of advertising the undeyelop-
ed resources of these localities
and it is quite fair to presume
that the second meeting will be
of even more value, The conven-
lion idea is certainly a good way
to keep our mineral and agricul-
tural opportunities before the world
and for that reason we should all
do II part to make this public
gathering n success. The assem-
bling of the convention and its
proceedings will be printed in
thousands of newspapers and thus
it will be of practical value to
Wyoming The executive com.
mittee will announce in a few
days greatly reduced rates on all
railroads in Wyoming, and this
will give everybody a chance to
come to the convention.
"The secretary of our commit
tee informs me that he has alrea-
dy the names of 265 delegates who
have been appointed to represent
the different localities in the state
and he feels satisfied that no less
than $50 more will be received
during the next week. IT one
half of these delegates comes il
will be a big convention, one capa.
BILE of doing much good in the
way of practical work necessary
to develop our and
keeping Wyoming in the front
rank.'--Cheyenne Leader.

largely attended, the proposition 10 hold
a fair in Dublin next fall was pre-
sented. 1t was decided that what was
wanted was not an association to hold
a fair next fall, but every year. 1t was
suggested that about $1,000 would be
needed and nearly $1,000 were subscriD-
ed in just a few minutes. A commit

FOR a BIG ORCHARD.
Capitalists Purchase Farm Near
Fort Valley.

Fort Valley. Ga, March 2S.-The
largest land deal for peach orchard
that has ever been made in the state
was recently made by the Miami VAL
ley Fruit Company purchasing large
tract of land known as the Harris &
Hollinshed place, near Fort Valley. The
leading stockholders are w. z. Roll, j.
Z. Peterson, z. o. Getter, and II. w.
Truax, all of Ohio; L. l.. Brown and
c. w. Without of Fort Valley. They
are all prominent business men. Col. L.
l.. Brown, one of Fort Valleys most
prominent lawyers, and c. w Without,
who is manager of several of the larg-
est orchards in the state, are both
heavily Interested.
This tract is universally known as
being the best land in the county, and
contains about 1900 acres, 900 of which
lie almost perfectly level but is we'll
drained, and will make a model fruit
farm.
Tne Hollinshed farm was owned by
w. H. Harris of Fort Valley, and Prof
w. Fl. Hollinshed of Nashville, Tenn
For several years Mr.. Harris has been
fattening large herds of cattle hav-
ing them penned in by movable fences
which were changed from one field to
the other until the entire farm has
been built up to high state of fer
tility.
The new fruit company is now plant
ing 10000 Elbertas. and will continue to
plant each season in blocks of $4,000
&Sees until they have an orchard of
100000. They have applied for a char
ter under the Georgia laws with a cap
ital of 100000. The exact considera-
tion of this purchase is not known, but
the company paid about $4,000 for the
farm, which is considered by all who
know the place as very reasonable
price.

ROAD TO PARIS ISLAND.
Southern TO be Asked to Extend It's
Line to That Point.

Line TO Ihat Point.
Beaufort. S. c., March 23.-An effort
is being made here TO induce the
Southern Railway to extend it's sea-
board terminal to Paris Island. a
prominent attorney has been employed
by interested parties to look into the
matter of the validity of tide land til
ties connected with that island. 1t is
believed that the proposition to be
made to the Southern will be accepted.
This movement is considered impor-
tant in connection with the future dis
position of government property at
Paris Island. The project is said to
be one of large scope, embracing the
building of numerous wharves, and
warehouses, for the temporary storage
OF freight from the West, and the es-
tabllshment of a transatlantic line of
steamers.
From present indications all concern
ed in the new enterprise are confident
that much of the tide land property of
that island will soon be utilized for
Southern terminal purposes.
