On The Rounds.

VI LIS
Monday morning bright and early,
the third week out, We we're driving
for the thriving town Of Pelion,
where We arrived about II o'clock
and found a large crowdawaiting the
Treasurer and the Dispatch man.
We always feel at home and among
friends here, and spent the day
chatting over the various topics Of
interests and the conditions of things
generally. W. were sorry to learn
that some of our citizens inside OF
the new county project, were inclined
to favor q separation from old Lex
ington. However, we trust that after
due and thoughtful consideration
they will see the folly of such q detri-
mental step, which will bring dis
satisfaction and expense upon them
selves for years to come, when like
oshers going into such schemes, DOW
deplore their action after it is too
late, they will decide to remain citi-
zens' of Lexington.
Messrs D. B Spbaler- and D. F.
Shumpert are the merchants here
and both erjoy 9 good trade. After
DINING with Mr.. D F. Shumpert We
handed out several Dispatch receipts
and completed our work there. Then
we accompanied our old friend, Mr..
John McCartha, to his home, where
we spent the night pleasantly, enjoy
ing his and the family's company.
We were pleased to find friend Johns
crop yield good with his cribs full
and plenty of hogs in the pen.
Tuesday morning We were at the
Cross Roads, where fewer taxpayers
than usual met us. Starving them in
due time We drove to Stesdman.
This was u first visit to this
place. The town has five or elk
stores, mill and gin, and two tureen-
tine stills, q good business in turpen-
tine and lumber. What the place
lacks in business is made up with
clever and industrious citizens
While there We we're treated kindly
by MIR. Walter Qasttlebaum's family.
Night found US well entertained
at the home of MIR. VIM westmore-
land, and besides his good fare We
enjoyed the excellent music furnish

;. Our time being up We pulled, lines
for Leesville in a cold, piercing wind
and rain, but night found us~well
cared for at Mr. Haitiwanger :Rawl's,
where We always feel at home. He
and his family are very entertaining
and always mindful of their guests.
. Our next point was Bstesburg ON
Thursday morning, where We met q
large number of taxpayers: Bates

gressive town and is still improving.

The greatest danger from colds and
grip is their resulting in pneumonia,
If reasonable care is used. however,
and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
taken, all danger will be avoided.
Among the ems of thousands who have
used this remedy for these diseases we
have yet to learn of a single case re-
sulting in pneumonia, which shows
conclusively that it is a certain pre-.
tentative of that dangerous disease.
1t will cure a cold or an attack of the

ment. 1t is pleasant and safe to take.

Largest Gold NUGGET.

The largest gold nugget ever found
in California was known as the Oliver
Martin nugget. 1t was unearthed by a
dissipated young man, little better
than a tramp, while digging a grave in
which to bury his comrade, who had
been drowned while lying drunk in
the bottom of a narrow canyon. Mar
tin had been caught in the same flood
which brought death to his companion,
but he escaped. Later securing a pick
and shovel, he selected a sandy spot
at the base of a cliff and started to dig
a grave. He had not dug down two
feet when he came upon the nugget.
Martin considered hat his find and
the peculiar circumstances attending
it was an act of Providence and he
never touched liquor afterward. Later
he went TO Yucatan, where he made
more than $500. 900 in quartz mining.
The nugget itself sold for $22 700, af-
ter it had earned 100000 from its ex-
hibition in various parts of the coun-
try.

FREIGHT CARS X
Santa Fe Needs More Cars for Freight
Traffic,


The shortage of cars for freight
traffic is the great problem which now
harnesses the traffic department of the
western railways. The Santa Fe is no
exception to the rule, and the demands
of shippers for cars are greatly in ex-
cess of the supply.
Many Santa Fe cars are out on for
eign lines, but at the same time. many
foreign cars are on the Santa Fe lines.
The situation in this respect is said to
be about a stand off. Down at the vari-
Gus shipping points along the Santa Fe
lines in Kansas. people are, figurative-
ly speaking, lined up along the track
waiting for cars to come. No sooner
does a car come into town than it is
pounced on by the first man who sees
it, and loaded. There is no delay.
Traffic like this ought to pile up the
revenue in the Santa Fe treasury.
Every effort is being made by the
Santa Fe to increase the amount of
equipment for taking care of this vast
business. Already orders have been
placed for the manufacture of about
5000 more freight cars. But locomo-
tives are being turned out at the rate
of one a week for the Santa Fe, and
all the system shops are working at
full capacity to keep the equipment in
repair.

LAND SCRIP.

BY the use of so called land scrip
title can be obtained to government
land without cultivation or residence
thereon. All you need to do is to give
description and show the land to be
of the proper kind; we do the rest. BY
reason of the exhaustion of a supply
which has been quite limited the price
is advancing. We have a small amount
yet on hand to sell, that is fully guar
anteed. We also deal in real estate,
loans and investments.

A Poor Depot.

Take the depot, for instance, one
very small waiting Don for a town
like Gallup. Adamana, Navajo
Springs, and in fact all of the stations
on the line have much better accommo-
dations than Gallup, for the amount of
business transacted. This station is
probably the best for the company on
the line, as we are informed that the
ven derived therefrom for the
month of February was something over
$4,000. Just a slice from one month
would build a real nice depot. The
company is making substantial i'm
provements all along their line, and in
all probability will get around to Gal
lup in the near future.-GalIup Repub-
