A few days ago one of our citizens
brought a nugget of gold into the
drug store and asked the druggist
to weigh it. 1t weighed dwt, and.
upon inquiring it was Learned that
Mr.. R. P. Dominick had picked It up
on his place near town. The nugget
was practically pure as it could be
hammered. There have been some
searching parties and one enthulastlc
travelling man got pick and a pan
and went forth to find an e. Dorado
If he found anything he did not tell
if Mr.. Dcminick has not divulged
the SPOT where he picked up the mug
get Look out Mr.. Editor. Prosper
ityq may yet be noted for its gold
mines. We trust that there may be
many thousands found.
Mr.. E. M. Cook who was so oadl!
hurt by his team running away IS

light and the pleasure of his friends.
The Jolly Dozen will give one Of
theis jolliest entertainments at the
city hall next Friday night. This IS
an occasion when they do not want
their number to be II but large null
tiplies of that number, say 10. Their
program is a fine one and will con-
sist OF quartettes, duets, solos, recl-
tations etc. Some Of the best musical
talent of the town will take part as
we'll as the best reciters. Don't tall
to attend this gala occasion on frl-
day night. -.
The charge to see this jolly event is
only 10 cents if you are only "a years
old or under. If you are over II you
are expected to pay IS cents, and II
would be cheap at twice the price
And speaking of that, would it not be
the thing for the young man to pay
twice IS cents and then take his best
girl with him.
