We'll, The Charleston News and Cou- rier, which has all along claimed that Andrew Jackson was born in South Carolina, has settled it in it's own fa- vor. It quotes Buelrs Biography, which says that when Jackson was born there was a dispute as to the exact boundary line between the two colonies, and that the cabin in which the birth occurred was in the terri tory claimed by South Carolina.
 Therefore the historian goes on to say, Andrew Jackson was born in that colony. But shortly after the adop- ton of the Federal Constitution in 17S9 an amicable movement for the definitive location of the boundary was made. This brought about a survey during 1793-'94 by John Floyd, the result of which was readjust- ment not only of the line between the two Carolinas, but also of the south boundary of Tennessee. So far as concerned the Carolinas. out little change was made, the readjustment nowhere amounting to more than a mile or two, and even that was due to the mere strengthening of old lines that had been carelessly located or in accurately marked in the Colonial surveys. At the particular point con- earned in this narrative the old and

RENO, NEV.

Assemblyman O'Brien of Lander
county has introduced a bill to estab-
lsh a miners home, says the Reno
Observer 1t is proposed to secure the
Bowers mansion property and put it in
proper shape to house the old miners
and prospectors. The project is most
excellent one. In various parts of the
state the county hospital is the only
refuge for the old miner and pros
pector. This should not be. They are,
in almost every case, good men, and
they should not be forced to become
the wards of the county, through fall
ing health or age. but q proper place
should be provided for them. 1t will
not cost any more to provide a perrna
nent home for them than it now costs
to keep them in the poorhouses. They
have given their best efforts and per-
haps their health to help develop the
state, and they should in turn at least
have some of the comforts of life in
their declining years. The manage
ment and expense of such an institu-
ton will not be large, for the miners
themselves can look after the general
details of a place of this kind A su-
perintendent and matron, the occa-
sional visit of physician. and the
necessary food will not aggregate any
very great expense to the state. but,
will afford happiness to many g. poor

world that the fourishing gold camp
has no more earnest and public-spir1t-

the church accommodations have grown
too limited and in RESPONSE to Father
Dermody's appeal for funds for the
erection of a larger church, $1,000 was
subscribed for the purIose last Sunday
at the three services. Many persons
were unable to gain admission to the
church owing to the csowded condition.
An ideal site has been secured for
the new edifiGe, comprising four lots
at the corner of Hall and Franklin
streets, one of the choicest locations in
the town. for which $4,000 was paid.
The church building will cost 100000
and be the peer in construction and fin-
ish of any in the state. A handsome pa
rochial residence will also be erected,
both structures to be of stone.

Sweeney was one of the early settlers

vor only until the railroad made it's
appearance. Once established with the
Denver q Rio Grande. he remained
with that concern until the time of his
illness, which overlook him a few
weeks ago. For twenty-six years he
served continuously in the employ of
the one company, and was considered
as one of the most efficient and relia-
bic men on the road.
At the time of his death Mr. Sweeney
was 10 years Of age. He leaves a wife
and three children to mourn his taking
away. and a host of friends who are
greatly grieved at the misfortune |
which is theirs as well as the familys. |
The funeral was held from the resi- |
