sponde orre PROSPECTING FOR GOLD. A Lot of Short Items of Interest Aboot Dunn's Mountain. Dunn's Mountain City.Aug. 24th.. I thought Black Hawk was goitfg to write up the items for our town, but it seems that he has cut short off. Come on, Black Hawk, let us hear from you. We need a Tegular correr spondent to ;The Watchman in our town and ai you are now in our midst and zpMfe to rtmain here for a while, w think thai yon would make m a good one. Come on and let us hear from you for we have a plenty of chickens left for you. Well, we are having good sea sons out'here, crops are looking fine. Corn and cotton are in a prosperous condition. Our people seem to be in good heart and rep resent almost every vocation in life. D. C. Trexler is at home now from his work at Granite Quarry and is busy .grading the sidewalks in front of his residence. T. J. Loflin is having rock haul ed preparatory to having his well walled, provided he can get one dug. L. J. Ribelin is prospecting for gold on the lands of J. C. Miller, near our village. We understand that Mr. Ribelin has. found some very fine prospects. He carried some very fine ore to Salisbury to have Dr. Eames test it. If it proves to be of a paying quality the property will very Boon be de veloped, and a stamp mill will more than likely go up somewhere on the spring branch below the old Ribelin homestead. This will add another enterprise to our community in connection with the great granite belt and quarries that we already have. Quite a number of our granite cutters and quarrymen are now at work at the Hartman quarries near Tippettown. They say they are making good money. The school committPA has nrrW. ed patent desks for our new school house. Think they did a good thing. R. E. Elium has treated him self to a bran new horse and rub ber tire buggy. Rube and his family now goes riding every Sunday. Guess they enjoy it. James E. Dry is night watch man at the American Stone Co.'s plant. Jim, don't you get awful lonesome? Our blacksmith, M. C. Parks, is now getting all the werk he can do. He is kept busy most of the the time shoeing horses. We can hear the Ribelin Co.'s sawmill whistle occasionally. tit i v e qo not Know now tney are getting along. We haven't seen .Black Hawk in several days and have had no report. Our friend, G. W. Miller, had a position as temporary fireman for the Ribelin Sawmill Co. We guess it got to hot for George as we see he has changed his occupa tion and joined the great army of wood haulers. Pinkney Overcash and wife and Overcash's father-in-law, Geo. Swink, are working at the Kestler cotton mill on the night shift. T. J. Loftin and Max Miller took a flying trip down to the August iresn last Sunday, but it didn t make much of a Baptist out of them as thev didn't wrr-r much wet. D I Miss Bethel Loftin, of Morgan township, is visiting her father, T.J. Loftin, of this place, this week. Rev. Grandpa Davis, father of Rev. W. R. Davis, conducted a series of meetings at Dunn's Mountain Baptist church during first part of this mouth. He preached some excellent sermons, but the seed he sowed seems to' have fallen on stoney ground and didn't mature very much. The writer thinks that there will soon be a new residence erect ed in our town, as soon as the bride, and the lot on which to build it can be secured with a tlegood ti, or at least he has over heard seme parties talking that way An automobile, headed from Salisbury, passed through our town todav n rntitfl tn dr.A Will jie mus nave jumped the track. Rip Van Winkle. nee. NORTH DUNN'S MOUNTAIN. Bachelor Pies Resemble Circular Saws. Experiences of Keeping Bachelor Hall. . Deferred from last week. A series of meetings began at Corinth Baptist church Sunday, last, Aug. 18th. A very large crowd was present. It rained, but the people go to church down there when it rains and make bay when the sunshines. Rev. Jonaa Kirk from Salisbury, preached at Corinth Sunday and spvnt Sunday night with Hawk. Mr. Kirk is a flue young preacher, and all his many friends wish him success in his meeting this week. A series of meetings are in prog ress at Union Church and all re port a fine time and good preach ing. A, R. Kirk, from near Albe marle, was to see J. A. Ribelin, Saturday and Sunday. The health of this community is very good except a number of cases of fever. But they are not serious. Deedy Trexler of Dunn's Moun tain is going to have a very large barn to build soon. Some good carpenter will get the job. Messrs. Miller, Trexler and Floyd contemplate going to Whit, ney Saturday. Boys have your time. Jesse Floyd has resigned his position hauling with A. A. Cody and is working in Salisbury. Jesse says that he can't stay at bache lor's hall any longer. When Hawk was a kid his mother told him that he must not sop out of the dish. She said if I did I would surely become bald headed, so I didn't. But if that be the case, all the bachelor boys will be baldheaded in a week or two. At noon, when the time comes to eat dinner, the captain gets a three-gallon bucket with two and one-half gallons of cab bage and the rest get one-half bushel of hard bread and place it in the bucket of cabbage and then all seven spoon and sop out of the same. I do think their mothers ought to have taught them more manners, Say, Gumpy, you ought to see some of the bachelors' pies. They resemble a circular saw very much. Hawk visited home folks Sun day. xsuuu s mountain scnool is Tl., J . , . , , . Hunting for a teacher. Any one will do well to get that school for they have just built a new house with a belfry. A very handsome place indeed. Call to see Mr Loftin, committeeman. ine school at Crescent will be gin in a short while. Any one" who wants an education can surely get it. Dr. Lyerly makes that road easy for young men thatae goiug to be great and grand this year If all of us were Dr. Lyerly 's we would have more educated people in our country than we have. Mr Lyerly has done more for educa tion than any other man in the county. Why not we boys fill up his school? Lonnie Small has been going to Tippert town. What's up? Boys, buy your sugar at Loflin's. Rufus Trexler and Miss Hattie Floyd visited Levi Trexler's Sun day night. WaB sure glad to see them. Geo. Ribelin has accepted a po sition as fireman at J. Ribelin & Sons. - Geo. Miller's mother is visiting him this week. Hawk watched the brown-eyed girls Sunday. Lee you and Bart, get organized as a ball team and command play Bull Hill. Black Hawk. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy, Better Than Three Doctors. 'Three years ago we had three doctors with our little boy and everything that they could do seemed in vain. At last when all hope seemed to be gone we began using Chamberlain's Colic, Chol era and Diarrhoea Remedy and in a few hours he began to improve. Today he is as healthy a child as parents could wish for." iff a. T5 J. Johnston, Linton, 'Miss. For sale by James Plummer. Salia. bury, and Spencer Pharmacy, Spencer ,N. C.

The foundation of SimpBon Corn's new residence was laid August 20th, 1907, l?y P. A. Peeler and his crowd of workmen. A young lady arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Brown's August 24th, 1907. Miss Bertie Peeler and Miss Eleanor Brown are visiting their nncle, J. R. Brown, of China Grove. Rev. R. L. Brown is visiting his daughters, Mrs; Luther Fisher and Mrs. P. A. Peeler, this week. ' Mr. Solomon Yost is still very sick. He is not able to be up hardly any. ;He doesn't seem to be getting any better. Martin Kluttz is hauling lumber to the Balfour quarry to build a big granite shed in the place of the one blown down by a storm. A big crowd gathered at Esq. John D. A. Fisher's office Thurs day evening to hear a trial be tween John Arey and Rich Coley who lives in Gold Hill township They had a rucus over their water melon patch and had to settle it before a magistrate. oeveral young men and young ladies will soon go off to the dif ferent high schools. Some re turmug and some will be new ones- Several people from Faith went down to Whitney, Tuesday, August 20th, 1907, to see the works and to see the big steam shovelB run ning. Venus went along and could fill several columns with wnat ne saw at toe dam and up and down the line of canal. The first steam shovel we ever saw running was about one mile down from the dam. There we saw thirty-eight wagons on the route Some coming and some going John Harris was in charge and he said this number of wagous run night and day. We saw seven steam drills running at one place and ten at another. One big steam shovel kept two dinky en gines running and each engine had five cars and it took three steam shovels full to fill one car, fifteen shovels full of one and half yards each to fill the train of five cars, and as soon as one pulled out another took its place. The engineer tried and came near dip ping us in the pipper. I was standing close up to the bank and the engineer swung his crane aroun;'. and commenced dipping right up under us and liked to have been caught in the big steam shovel. When the dirt commenced to crumble under our feet we saw it was time to step back, which we did just in the nick of tirriH. All who went dowu was well pleased with their trip. We saw a crowd of men putting in holes from 30 to 35 feet deep and other men filling the holes with from 17 to 18 boxes of dynamite in each hole. The holes were made from three to five feet apart and from ten to twelve of the holes were 6hot at a time. This tore up the rock Bnd dirt ready for the steam shovel bo handle. John Corl is guarding orisoners at the county road force here at night. Evervbod v is praising the work of making good roads by the su perintendent who has charge of the county force here. We will have a good road from Faith to Salisbury equal to the Mecklen burg roads. Peeler, Bame & Co. received the contract today for the big grainet door sills for the Kanopolis fac tory buildirgs going up there. John Fisher is hauling a car load of millstones to Granite Quarry this week to ship to Wilkesboro, N. C. J. T.NWyatt shipped three car loads of granite curbing Auarnst 22nd; 23rd aud 24th. Lee, of Gold Knob, found a raddish 14 inches long and C inches in circumference. Yes. Mr. Lee, we can beat that. L. r T l -in i ju. jreeier nas one -mcnos lontr and 7$ inches in circumference. Trot out again Mr. Lee. John A, Peeler has a cotton leaf 11 inches across:" Who can beat that? The second Sunday in Septem ber will be children's dav at the Reformed church here. A big time is expected. The engineer bronerht out to Granite Quarry Saturday 26ismpty and zi loaded cars and all the shippers did not then get cars, as there is such a great demand for cars here now. That's what brings in the money in the settle ment here. . Venus. CHRISTIANA... Rev. Bodle tlWeaeJi Farewlll SemonSA -" Mighty Poet Beard From - August 26th. Pulling fodder and cutting tops are the main topics for discussion with the farmer -now.. Some , of our farmers have all their fodder and tops already made. Who can beat that for progressiveness? Miss MoJlie Lyerly is still very sick with fftvftr. ' We hoDe for her a speedy recovery. Some of our farmers are now selling their cotton for 14 cts. Good for them. lo all inquiring fri9nds we are glad to say that Rowan Academy won a complete victory over the Crescent boys in the debate last Saturday eve. This speaks much for the good work the society has done this summer. Rev. A. D. Bodie, who preached his farewell sermon at Christiana September 22, will go to Bates burg, S. C, to preach at his old home church. Rev. Bodie will hold .a series of meetings at Chris tiana, beginning Thursday fefore the fourth Stfnday in September. We will have more to say later.

R, Lingle. and others are planning a big trip to Jamestown and Washington.

The horses of Arthur Thomas became frightened while unload mg wood m Salisbury last week and jumped to one side breaking off the wagon tongue. But for Mr. Thomas's presence of min and quick action something more serious might have happened. John C. Peeler apd Miss Vida Trexler will teach the public school at Rowan Academy this winter. Both are experienced an nr , , , . very emcieni teacners. We can safely say that Rowan Academy is tne most modern and advanced public school in Rowan county. Lon. R.
