Silver lea.

The Methodist silver tea at Mrs. w.
J. ChAmbers' yesterday afternoon was
very pleasant. The ladies spent most
of the afternoon on the large veranda
owing to the delightful summer
weather. Mrs. +. l.. Carney and
Mrs. Il. g. Blake assisted Mrs.
Chambers, and Misses Frances Cham
beers, Rhoda Liddon and Jessie Lou
Martin served lemonade and cake to
the visitors.
Pinned TO the walls around the
versnda and in the parlOr and hall
were pictures representing books,
rivers, mountains, states, etc, the

amusement.

NE DOG.

Some months ago we reproduced in
these columns tribute TO the dog
from the pen of Senator Vest, of
Missouri.
In the whole range Of English liter.
ature there is scarcely anything ex-
ceiling it.
Still later we printed a tribute to
the same noble animal handed down
in decision by one of the famous
judges IN Georgia,
In elOquence, pathOs and tender
ness it was scarcely less touching
than the etfusiOn of the distinguish
ed MissOurian.
Today We print still another article
on the dog.
1t is not as eloquent, pathetic and
as finished production as those AL
ready named but is rs genuine and
as honest.
1t is taken from the Atlanta Journal
and ''is concerning of lost dog"
1t is as follows:

The Rainbow Mine is PRODUCE
ing Some Fine Specimens
Of Paying ore.

"'The Myers Creek News of Nov
ember %, has the following glow
lg account of the Rainbow mine:
Everybody knows that the Rain
bow is located on the crest ofCop-
per mountain, three miles from
Chesaw. The development has
been proceeding steady for ten
months under the intelligent super
vision of John Benson.
=. Two shafts first sunk to depth
of about 40 feet in the centre of the
ledge at. the summit to ascertain
trend, and value Of the ore. ), Indi-
cations were so promising as to
justify the driving of tunnel,
which was begun early in the year.
Work has been going on without
cessation since commencement.
Stringers and cross lodges were en-
countered, showing up good values
all the way from the, portal of the
tunnal until distance of 900 feet
was reached, when a substantial
vein of fine pyritic copper ore was
entered. Mr.. Benson drifted along
this vein for SO feet and was re-
warded by strike that equals any
in magnitude in this favored dis
trict. The main ledge was shot into
and the glittering ore, if it could
have been seen by all the owners of
the property, certainly would have
put them in jubilant spirits for their
Thanksgiving turkeys.
Happily L. D. Brown, the genial
secretary of the Rainbow Gold Min
ing Co., of Little Falls, Minnesota,
had got into camp to inspect the
property only day or two before
the ledge was entered, and happened
to be on the ground when the ore
was broken into. Just what Brown
did to Benson when the rich ore
showed up has not been reported,

drivers OF wagons seem 10 go blocks out
or their way for the special purpose CT
driving into the rough ground and get

has done.
i may be wrong. but Il seems To me
that In the last few days more wagons
have driven over this square on u
Street than have passed over II in a
week under ordinary circumstances. and
/ will venture that II was not necessar n,
for one-fifth Of them to come this way.
A large percentage Of the wagons have
stuck in the soft mud and deep ruts in
the street. Each sticking has resulted in
a jam, with much profanity and big do
ings generally with the result that each
wagon I'm the Jam lost from five minutes

That would be done In any other city
