soon as the new one arrives.
The Judge is a keen follower of all
the war stories by different writer's
in the magazine, and he knew that the
old nanny had been looking over
some of the stuff herself, as she had
expressed her opinions about the Ger
mans and alleys on several occa
sions.

For two hundred years, says the
Boston Transcript, the fact that these
houses had existed was known. though
their location was uncertain, but In

founding of the college in 1896. but
their history prior to that date is OBJ
scure. The inscription on the Ablet

Nobody knows definitely how many unemployed
men and women there are in the United States
today. One thing, however, is known definitely,
that the number probably is not as great nor any
thing like as great in proportion to the popula-
ton as it has been at times in the past. There
are enough of the unemployed, however, to make
the problem a serious one, but there seems to be a
belief on the part of government officials that the
broadening of the field Of federal effort to help
men and women to work steadily will sap the

Stockholders Meeting

The annual stockholders meet

pbis Tennessee and G. S. Birkins
Of Romeo, Colo. whale Mr.. A. A.
yer aud g. q. Stumm OF this
city were present and participated
in the meeting. The principal
hasiness was the election of a

Dr.. J. A. Currie, Col. E. F. Web

all of Memphis, Tenn, and G. {.
Sturnm of this city. From DR..
Currie and Col Weber we learn
that they will soon begin very
active campaign of development
as the finances are such as will
keep this work goirg on for long
period or until the best results are
obtained. The work at the tunnel
has been suspended for some time
on account of the serious illness of
DR.. Currie who was operated
upon in the hospital in Memphis
and was Obliged to be there the
greater part of the winter and
hence was unable to look after the
work as SECRETARY, necessary to
the pushing of the development.
They are very sanguine over the
outlook of the development and the
results that will be obtained. With
good property and practical and
economical management, there is
no reason why this property
should not become one of our
large producers as it is in a good
mining section. The stockholders
should realize that the manage.
ment of the company is in good
loyal, safe and economical hand:
and who will give it every possible
attention.
