The Immigrants Coming.

The ship Wittckind, bearing 1872
immigrants, sailed from Bremen,
Germany, October, 18th and will
arrive in Charleston about Novem-
ber the first. There are Belgians,
Germans, and Austrians on board
$50 mill hands and about 200 for
farm or domestic service. The
languages spoken by most of them
are French and German, but they
readily learn to speak English.
These people will be scattered
Throughout the state to applicants
who have already filed their appli-
cations. Over 500 have asked for
servants and only about 500 are
coming; SO many will be disap-
pointed. But the department will
keep the work going and more will
come later. The authorities assure
the people that these foreigners are
thrifty, industrious and willing to
do any kind of work. Some citi-
zens OF Union and county have
made application for servants, but
are not certain yet about getting
them.

NeVada's
Advantages.
The Mecca for Thousands
of Young Men.

Nevada is to-day the Mecca for
thousands of young men through
out the more settled portions of
the country, who are seeking an
opportunity to break away from
the limitations of older communi-
ties. A young mans best chance
is a new country. Where things
are in the making, where nature is
to be broken to civilization, super
abundant energy is perhaps more
needed than wisdom gained from
experience of other conditions.
The whole west has been built
up by young men, and this latest
portion of it to hold out induce
ments for settlements will chiefly
attract those in whom the instinct
for independent effort is strongly
developed.

Frank Golden is Tired
of Waiting for His
Cash.

The efforts of the members of

Commerce to raise enough money
TO pas of its debts and to redeem
the ore exhibit the finest evcr col
Elected in the State, from Frank
Golden, who bought it at sberiff's
sale for about $3.50, have failed.
Saturday Golden began the re-
moval of his exhibit from the
sheriff's Office in order to send it
fto'one of the smelters, where it is
ITO be reduced for its bullion
value.
Golden made a great bargain in
his purchase. The exhibit is made
up of picked ores from the richest
gold, silver and copper mines in
the state, and weighs several tons.
1t has been estimated to be worth
from $500 to $5OOU, and as an ex-
hibit is worth much more, as it
represents many years of tireless
search for rare specimens from all
parts of the state.
When Golden bid the exhibit
for the claims he had against the
Chamber the members of the latter
allowed it to go at a very low price
it being their intention to redeem
it. Golden gave them a month to
do this, but owing to dissention in
the organization all efforts to raise
funds failed.
