the Locust Groye Baptist church
on Big Brushy last Sunday at the

explosion was terrible. The glass
in the windows was blown to
smithereens and the building dam

cries of many of the women pres

or further. Our informant say g

is one thing certain, and that is,

deed should be punished to the full!
extent of the law. We understand

will be put under arrest.-Rey-

PASSING OF TIE
SILVER DOLLAR

The silver dollar gradually is going
out of circulation. Today there are
about al, 900. 900 of them in circulation,
which is the smallest number in recent
years. Three years ago there were
about 81; 200, 600 passing through the
various channels of trade. The reason
for the unropularity of the silver dollar,
it is said AT the Treasury Department,
was that the Government for the last
two years has declined to pay the cx-
press charges Oh shipments of them to
the treasury for exchange for notes of
similar value. There were more than
$50. GOO, 900 in circulation when Congress
refused to appropriate money for pay.

movement of silver dollars decreased a.

weight. they already have been discard
ed in the mercantile centers OF the
North and East, but they still retiar
favor in the West and the Southwest in
all parts of the South.

may be made as safe as any one of these

much larger profits. At the present
time mining rests upon scientific prin-
ciples. There is now small excuse for
failure.
What makes a miner The mining en-
gineer, who has practical experience and
scientific insight into all phases of the
mineral industry. will answer by saying
that it is a land property from the
bowels of which valuable minerals may
be extracted profitably and i'll ON
mercial quantities. SO, also, contrary

position is attained. Until it docs reach
this position its stocks are not the
proper field in which the general public.
or persons u~nacquainted with the min

With this definition the picturesque
prospector of days now gone by does
not make of his lonely claim a mine by
simply calling it such. The mountaincer.
