Remarks the Florida Times Union:
1T pays well to keep up appearances.
One hundred dollars worth OF paint in
town often adds thousand to the SELL
ing price Of house. and the principle
applies with additional force to the
country. In this day OF cheap wire the
fences for the poultry, the pigs and the
cows should take on a permanent char
acter--objections to poultry are largely
based on the damage done by wander
ing hens who will destroy more in q
day than the cost OF a years provision.
But this fact does not prove that hens
and pigs are poor property; it only
shows that all domestic animals should
be confined to proper places. Cheap
fences are costly; they soon decay and
they cannot be kept neat without con
slant expense Of labor and paint, while
they are never safe, because we know
not what day or night they will fail US.

fitted up than acres upon acres that

Clarence Labadie. second sor
of Mrs. Ella Labadie, died in
Joplin OH Monday of this week
Clarence was injured several
weeks ago while helping handle
some heavy mining timbers. the
injury being hernia. He suffered
considerably at the time, but
medical and surgical attention
was given him at the time, and
he was thought to be getting
along all right. Lately, how
ever, the injury began troubling
him again, and he was taken to
St. Johns hospital in Joplin for
treatment, and it was while ur-
dergoing an operation that he
died.
Clarence was 4 gOOu, Orighl
boz and was idolized by his wild
owed mother and the balance OF
the family. He was born April
&, 1889, and was seventeen years,
six months and twenty-three
days old.
Funeral services were held at
the family residence one mil.
south of town on Tuesday OF
this week, after which the re-
mains were inferred in the Bax-
ter cemetery.
A delegation from the Chero-
kee county high school attended
the funeral and a large number
attended from the city schools oil

The Mission sold 100000

it did not show up in the tabulat-

on that the gentleman who COM
piles that statement was either
too tired or too lazy to ascertain
from the ore buyers who had sold
ore. The M. K. & T. sold 100, 0OO
pounds of zinc ore last week and
the same amount the week before,
but neither sale was reported in
the statement. Hereafter operat-
ors are asked to report to the Bax-

sales, and if they will do this the
sales will surely appear in the
tabulated statement.
The past week the deal which
has been pending for several

of the McAlister, and the par
ties buying it made test of the
same before closing the deal.
The last drill test was one of the
very best made in the field. This

they will start the sinking of a

Chas. Moll is elated over a
strike in the Virginia mine west
of the Mission. 1t is sheet ground
and makes up rich.
The Perkins company, which
has two drills operating near
their mill, are encountering and
locating some very rich bodies OF
ore.
The Pasture mine is now near
ly down to ore and expects to
strike it rich in the shaft. They
are getting more water and may
have to install new pumps.
The Common Law, which has
encountered as many difficulties
as any mine in the district except
the Merritt mine, are now drift
ing into a rich run of ore having
gotten through an immense
boulder deposit in their water
course. They now have less wa
ter to contend with and are MAX
ing much Roadway.
The Diamond c is drifting into
rich ore, carrying abouta 14-foot
face. This mine is preparing for
larger operations than ever be-
fore. They will soon get their
ore bodies explored sufficiently
for big mill. However, they
will have their property fully de-
veloped to supply a big mill be-
fore building one. They have
already encountered the ricnest
ore in the camp without any ex-
ception, except possibly the Mer-
ritt and Irish Maid. mines.
One of the most promising
strikes made the past week was
the Irish Maid. owned largely by
Cherokee Nation Oil and business
men Of prominence. This mine
sunk its shaft down to 126 feet
and should have gotten ore at112
feet. They drifted at that level
and at II feet in the drift they
