Counterfeit silver Bronev

Two cou' t rfelt silver dollars were
picked up Oh the streets of Easley
several days ago. The officers have
been very diligent but have not
been able to find out positively
where they came from.
There is q general belief, that
some travelling man worked them
off on q hotel porter during the
night before in. exchange for whis-
key. The negro could not tell. in
the dark. that the money was
counterfeit, but as soon as daylight
came he saw that he had been vic.
timized and decided that it would
not be safe for him to keep the
money in his possession and iu. t
threw it away. This is the theory
that 10 entertained by a number of
the Easley folks,
The counterfeit money was of
very crude workmanship.

A SERMON ON FARMING

Last week one of the most sue
cessful farmers in western Mime.
sofa was in our office. A man who
came up into western Minnesota
twenty-five years ago without cent
in his pocket; who is now on easy
street with capital "E;" who has
never done anything but farm, and
who has become rich farming; who,
in addition to a competence, has
reared large family of girls and
boys which he says he would not
take million dollars apiece for.
We asked him the secret of his
success and he replied: "All that
has been said or written on the
subject of farming, that is worth
remembering, can be stated in a
few words: Plow early in the fall,
and plow deep, pulverize thorough
ly, always use the best seed possible
regardless Of price, SOW early,
harvest promptly, and get into stack
or under shelter quickly. Always
bear in mind that all the feed you
give any animal that is not a
thoroughbred, you lose money on.
That's ALL"

VALENTINE PARTIES.
McNEICE-FIESLER.

A most charming affair was q
valentine party given on Wednesday
evening at the McNeice residence by
Mr.. Earl McNeice and Mr.. and Mrs
Chas. Fiesler.
The rooms were artistically deco.
rated, the ceiling being one mass Of
many colored hearts. Streamers Of
red hearts lead to the head table, the
effect being beautiful.
By the unweaving of the cob webb
partners were found for the game oil
hearts which was played throughout
the evening. DR.. Lamb won the
gentlemen's head prize, heart shaped
key ring, and Miss Bessie Parker the
ladies', heart shaped box of bon.
bons.
SANS sOUCI ART CLUB.
The Sans Souci Art club held their
annual "social evening" at the Morse
residence on Wednesday evening.
The house was beautifully decorated
in pink and white hearts, making a
most appropriate setting for valen-
tine party.
A banquet was served at $50 for
which the gentleman found their
partners in rather unique manner.
A huge red heart with eye holes was
hung in door way and the men, in
turn, took their places behind the
heart and the ladies who apparently
had given more than passing glance
at the many beautiful orbs of the
gentlemen, guessed who each one
might be and If correct carried away
her prize for dinner.
Another amusing feature of the
evening was the shooting of hearts.
Small hearts, each one bearing the
name of a lady present, were pinned
on a curtain. The gentlemen were
supplied with bow and arrow and if
fortunately the archer pierced heart,
was taken to St. Valentines den by
the lady of the heart and there
presented with a memento of St.
Valentine.
The remainder of the evening was
spent in playing hearts.
CORRESPONDENTS.
Mrs. A. Jameson and Mrs. A.
Erwin entertained about forty of their
friends at valentine party Saturday
afternoon. The rooms were beauti-
fully decorated in hearts, pink and
white being the color scheme through
out the rooms. A valentine bower was
arranged in nook in the hall where
little Vera Jameson, gowned in white,
presented each guest with valentine.
One amusing feature of the after
noon was the reading of the original
comic valentines brought by the
guests. The judges awarded the prize,
beautiful heart shaped raffia basket,
full of bon bons, to Mrs. Oehler.
A pink and white luncheon was
served by the hostesses, assisted by
Miss Erwin.
Don't forget that Monday night,
Feb. 10. is the Episcopal supper in
] the basement of the Boston store.

MRS. MONTGOMERY HONORED
BY THE SOCIAL THIRTY

On Friday afternoon of last week
Mrs. DR.. Nc Cracker, Mrs. J. "A.
johnson, Mrs. Henry Robbers and
Mrs. Tobey entertained the members
of the Social Thirty in honor of Mrs.
F. g. Montgomery, who is soon to
remove to Fergus Falls. Mrs.
McCracken invited Mrs. Montgomery
to her home to spend the afternoon,
and asked her to bring her. friend,
Mrs. Stebbins, from Morris, who was
here on visit. When the delegation
of women arrived it was difficult to
persuade Mrs. Montgomery that it was
lone on her." During the afternoon
cards were distributed, bearing fifteen
pied words. The ladies were asked to
arrange them into words spelling
articles found in their work-baskets.
Mrs. Stebbins and Mrs. Compton
were the victors, arranging their words
in eight minutes. Mrs. Compton
very graciously allowed the gift, a
dainty needle book, to go to Mrs.
stebbins. Then Mrs. Tobey, presi-
ent of the society, in the following
speech, presented Mrs. Montgomery
with a parting gift from the Social
Thirty. ''Mother, Home, and Heaven
are said to he the sweetest word in the
English language, but next to these
we can certainly place the word
"friend." We need not know a per
son for a long period of years to call
him friend. We see and admire the
good qualities of mind and heart at
once, and if we are what we should be,
we are drawn to that person in friend
ship. Years strengthen the feeling,
but they need not be years of assoc
citation, for tits an old saying that
absence makes the heart grow fond
er." We are met here today to do
honor to one Of our number who is
soon to 60 to another place to make
her home. This is cloud across the
sky of our friendship, but as all
clouds are lined with silver so is this
one. We know that others are to gain
what we lose. The edges Of this cloud
are also tipped with gold, for we be-
lieve Mrs. Montgomery will never for.
get the friends she has made. here
We would not appreciate the full glory
OF the sun were it not sometimes OBJ
scured by the clouds. We realize
now, dear friend, how much we love
you, and how you are woven into our
lives.
We love you as Christian; we love
you as woman; we love you as a
neighbOr; we love you as friend; we
love you as a sister member of the
Social Thirty, and we know that our
lives are better and brighter, nobler
and purer, because they have touched
your life. May God bless you as you
go to new home, and wherever it is,
in that place we know we will have
friend." "a r
Mrs. Montgomery was deeply af-
fected by the kindness shown her, but
responded in very pleasing manner,
voici1g her appreciation of the gift
and the kindly feeling that prompted
the giving, and assured the ladies that
her stay among them had not only
been pleasant but helpful. The gift
was silver spoon boat in an open
work design, beautifully engraved in
the bottom with the words, "Social
Thirty"
A bountiful and delicious lunch
was served, after which the ladies en-
jOyed another social hour before
bidding their guest and hostesses
good night.

UNSUITABLE HOMICIDE
Vas Verdict of COrOner's Jury in In
Quest on Body Of A. M. Gillespie.

On Thursday evening last a shoot
ing affair occurred at the terminal
ore bins of the New England COM
pany a short distance above Nick
Coles Halfway house between
Reece Webster and A. NJ. Gillespie,
in which the former was slightly
wounded while the latter resolved
two wounds from which he died two
hours later.
The evidence introduced at the
coroner's inquest was to the effect
that the men had a difficulty in Hollis
store few hours before the shooting
occurred, in which Gillespie was the
aggressor. After the trouble, but
before leaving the store, Gillespie
remarked that sit was not oyer with, -
and later he bought cartridges at
the Becker-Franz store, which infor-
nation was conveyed to Mr.. Web
ster.
About O'Clock, as Webster was
driving wagon loaded with hay and
grain to his corral, near which Gill
lespie was camped with his family, ne
was stopped by Gillespie, who, with
his six shooter pointed at Webster's
head, proceeded to curse him and call
him vile names. After this had gone
on for some time the shooting COM
menced, though the evidence was not
clear as to who fired first, or as to the
number of shots fired.
Webster received a slight flesh
wound in the cheek, while Gillespie
was struck in the stomach and side,
from which he died two hours later.
Webster started into town and
when he reached North Clifton he
met Constable Arzate, to whom he
surrendered.
The inquest on the body was held
at O'Clock on the following day, and
after taking all of the testimony the
jury rendered verdict of justifab BILE
homicide, which met with the ap-
prevail of those who heard the evil
dence.
The affair is greatly regretted by
the many friends of both parties.

MINES AND MINING.

A shipment of ore was received
this week by the Shannon Copper
company from Bart Upton, of Dun
can. The ore came from the May
flower district and averaged about
% per cent. copper and also carried
gold and silver values. The ship
ment was looked after by the indie
pendent Assay office.
E. o.. Beauchamp, manager of the
Gold Belt Development company, was
in from the camp this week. He re-
ports that the new wagon road will
soon be completed, and that devel-
opment work is progressing with
good results. He also reports that
Ambroze Burk, while prosecuting
on Bonanza No. 8. struck some rich
copper ore which shows free gold.
The ERA understands that the la
Dor differences in Clifton have been
arranged satisfactorily to all par
ties interested, hence there will be
no strike on the 1st as was threat
ened. The men asked that their
hours of labor be reduced from twelve
to eight, which was granted by the
with a reduction in wages of 25 cents.
Mr.. Yakey, one of the best known
prospecting in the hills east of Cliff
ton, came in last week with some
fine specimens of mineral wool, COM
monty known as asbestos, which he
recently discovered while driving a
tunnel to cross-cut a gold lead. This
is the first discovery of this kind
made in this section. Mr.. Yakey has
a lead which shows free gold on the
surface, which he expects to cut by
his tunnel in short time
During the past three years silver
has advanced 20 cents per ounce, and
the advance is expected to continue,
which is having good effect on bust
ness generally, as it is increasing the
purchasing power of the money now
in use in the Orient. In the first four
months of the present year Great
Britain exported S3O,0OO,OOO worth of
silver to India alone, which shows
the constantly increasing demand for
the white metal in the far east. 1t
is estimated that 100000 ounces
are used in the arts annually. The
United States and Mexico are pro-
ducing so per cent. of the silver of
price of the metal is a great ad-
vantage to the miners of this coun-
try. Silver mines are again coming
into demand.
Ore shipments from the Shannon
mine were resumed yesterday. The
fire which destroyed the head gear
of the tramway occurred on the 18th
instant. The cable and the cars were
destroyed by the fire, hence on the
morning of the fire the telegraph
wires were used in order to ascertain
where they could be replaced in the
shortest possible time. The cable
was bought in the east and brought
to El Paso by express, while the ore
cars were made in Ell Paso, and ar
rived on the same train with the
cable. The management deserves
credit for the remarkably short time
in which these serious damages were
repaired. The concentrating plant
-10 I 6, i
the smelter and converting plants
were kept in commission all the time.
Some concentrates were secured
from Cananea, which with the ore
on hand and that received from the
New England was sufficient to keep
the plant going.

the fire is not known, but is supposed
to have been started by some one
dropping lighted cigar or a cigar
