A clinton grape cutting was set in the ground against the wall of this office, March 10th, 1884.

But adding to this the lateral branches on each main stem, we have the extraordinary growth of lbO feet of vine from a cutting tne seconu year after setting. Diversified Industries. Salisbury wants diversified industries. A cotton market is a good thing, a to bftn mnrlrpfc better : Dut either, alone or combined, has not produced a city in the South of fifteen thousand inhabit ants. What is needed here, in addition to the already established tobacco and cotton markets, is the erection ot ma chine shops of various kinds, foundries, furniture manufactories, shoe manu factories, etc. Towns that are depend ent upon one enterprise alone, tobacco nr potion, for instance, while they not infreauentlv double their population in a few years, while the ftver is on, yet on t.hp. abatement of the lever, tne growth in population diminishes or en tirely ceases. Encourage any and ev erything from the blacksmith shop to the mammoth cotton factory. m i 3. Gold Mine Sold. It is reported that C. J.

Gable Creek is a small stream which emiree somewhere near uavis 11 CXO UO jVvi-w - mountain, in Randolph county, nd empties into buck creCK some xnree miles below its source. For a long time this short stream has been known as a prolific source for placer gold, and washing the dirt and gravel on its banks has given occasional employ ment to the people living near for more than fifty years. There is now con all alons this branch. The workmen dig down through the alluvium one to two feet to the grit i i - i bed which is panned or washed in rockers, paying one dollar and upwara a day per hand. In some places they have turned the water irom iuc vici nal channel and are engaged in dig ging and washing the bed grit, wmcn also profitable. Recently they found while panning, small quantities of n;ni-;iver in some of the irravel beds, and at a depth of two feet under sur face soil. This was doubtless used long ago and by parsons unknown to anyone living in the neighborhood now.
