THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT
SELECTS THE UNAKA NATIONAL BANK
AS PERMANENT DEPOSITORY.
Almost a Million Dollars to Pass Through
the Bank.

"Uncle Sam" usually carries nice
balance to his credit and he is very
careful where he keeps il. Occasion
ally he puts few thousands of dollars
in bank temporarily, il that bank
will buy like amount Of government
bonds upon which to issue bank cur.
rency, but it very seldom occurs that
he makes permanen depository in a
city where the Cover nment does not
receive revenue. Because Johnson
City is not of this class it was with
great difficulty that the department
persuaded to alter the custom. On ac-
count Of the Soldiers Home being To-
Gated here and the enormous amount
OF money necessary to be handled in
ITS maintainence and in paying pen
sions to tn inmates, the Secretary of
the Treasury decided to make every
thing as convenient as possible for the
officers and has designated the Unaka
National Bank, of this city, as perma
nent U. s. deposityry. This account
will amount to three quarters of mil
lion dollars or mors during the year
and is carried as an individurl account
subject to check.
Naturally enough the officers and
friends uf the Unaka National Bank
and the citizens generally are much
elated over the matter and the bank is
being congratulated upon its good fort
une by bankers and citizens from all
parts of the State. But for this selec-
tion this account would have been kept
at Knoxville and added its amount to
the banking capital of that city. AS
it is Johnson City gets the benefit of
it. The bank officials wear their hon
ors becomingly and fully appreciate
the distinction conferred by Uncle
Sam in becoming their heaviest depos-
itor. The COMET extends congratula-
tions.

GREEN DIAMONDS ARE SEEN
Specimens of the Variety Found in
the Mines on the Rand Arouse
Much Interest.

Considerable interest, writes a cor
respondent, has been aroused in Jo-
hannesburg by the discovery on min
ing property at Klerksdorp of a green
diamond Of about three-quarters carat
The gem had slipped into crevice in
the iron plates of the crushing mill
and was found during the dismantling
Of the mill to make room for the new
stamp battery.
In 1893 over 70 similarly colored dia-
nonds were found upon the same prop
srty. They had all slipped between the
dies and escaped destruction. 1t is
:onjectured that many other green
stones got crushed out of existence.
For the first time since the date of
the Klerksdorp Gold & Diamond com
pany intends to resume operations on
this particular ground, and the pros
poets of unearthing more of these
green gems are being eagerly watched
from the Rand.

TRIPLETS |
REUNITE'
To Meet again after 3o
Years Apart.
COUSINS OF A. ALDRlCH
Aged Mother Is Still Living at
Clarksburs- They Formerly
Lived In Stamford.

There will be an unique gathering in
Clarksburg, Mass, August 2l, when
Ambrose, Alfred and Albert Aldrich,
each 81 years old, believed to be the
Oldest triplets in the world, will come
back to greet their mother on their
57th birthday, and within nine days OF
her S9th birthday.
Their wives will accompany them,
the other immediate relatives in the
vicinity will gather to offer congratu-
lations and their best wishes. The
mother and her stalwart sons are look
ing forward with great pleasure to
the coming reunion. The mother is in
frail health and she realizes that in all
probability this will be the last visit
she will receive from her sons.
All of the sons are now residing in
the west. The last time that the mo other
and her three sons met together was
when they celebrated their 2lst birth
day, 36 years ago. She has been one
of the faithful workers the Metho-
dist church at Stamford. She is able
to read, her hearing is only little
impaired, and her mental faculties
are seemingly as strong as ever.
Physically she is weak. She works a
little around the house as she wishes.
Each year she knits socks for her
''boys."
The triplets are own cousins to Mrs
Charles A Kennon of this village, who
expects to attend the gathering. The
father of the boys, Ashael Aldrich was
an uncle of Amos Aldrich of Woodford
Hollow, died about seven years ago in
Clarksburg and was buried in Wood
ford.

OLD SOLDIERS MEETING.
A Fund VIII be Raised To Assist Several To Go
To Encampment.


a meeting of the old soldiers of the
civil war was held Tuesday evening to
make arrangements as far as possible
about attending the National GAR en-
campment to be held in Boston this
month.
1t is expected that about fifty vets
will want to go from here, and as a
number of them do not feel able to pay
their own fare, it has been suggested
that fund be raised to pay for those
who cannot, and are desirous of 60
ing.
a. NJ. Downs end d. II. Rudd were
appointed a committee to secure a
suitable comrade to canvas among the
business men of the community and see
how much would be subscribed for that
purpose.
They visited l. Il. Gibson this morn
ing and he consented to be custodian
for all funds subscribed or sent in.
The comrades hope to raise about
$3.50. This will pay the car fare for
all who want to go and do not feel
able to.
