shut down when the whistle
blew at 6 O'Clock Saturday evening.
The shut down so far as outsiders
know, is permanent: A good deal of
regret is felt by many, for the
company had the good will of the
people of its surroundings. They
paid all debts to a farthing, and this
established a permanent good will of
the people. A mine thus carried on
with fidelity and trust, always ranks
paramount above wild cat'' schemes
though having the appearance of
honest dealing on their face. Good
luck to the operators in their future
ventures.
The entertainment at Pigeon Greek
school house on Saturday evening
last, was good success generally. 1t

net receipts we're S31. 10. 1t is we'll to
judge an entertainment by the ex-
preston of the public. 1t is not
egotistical on my part, to say that l
heard many persons say that it was
more than excellent. One man in
particular we'll and favorabIy known
in the county, said it ranked above
any he had ever attended. Miss
Mol &c, hn -
school. She associated herself with a
number of young fulks not mem beIs
of the school, who took different
parts as different actors, and cs her
selections were good, it produced an
entertainment that was in its real sense
entertaining. Quite number of the
scholars of the school took part, and
are entitled to praise along with the
others. Giddy Dick.
