Mineral City has raised tho gum Of five
thousand dollars and a. nice two acre site

This Is the theme of all talk and the

Is said that two supervisors are strongly
for building at Mineral. one against re-
moving, and one in favor Of leaving the
question to be decided by a vote Of the
people. and, from the best Information
received. the people will favor removal
and acceptance OF the bonus, which will
come very near to building good new
courthouse. Naturally things are truly
warm In Louisa, and are likely to be$reds
hot on July 4th, when there Will be a big
public meeting at Mineral City and q
large crowd and some good speakers to
address the voters PRO and con" (but
chiefly prof. The occasion will be quite
festive, as special trains and excursion

There Is no doubt of the fact that Min

Louisa has got to do some rapid side
stepping and considerable doubles huf-
fling, or get left. 1t looks very much like
serious thing for Louisa, with chances
against her holding the lead In the race,
though she has some Of the best fighters
