There are a large number of splendid residences here that have not tasted paint since they were bnilt, many of them before the war. In those days painting was expensive compared with the cost of such improvements now. Since the introduction of prepared paints the cost of painting is reduced considerably. A new departure here on this line would make Salisbury the handsomest town in the country. Paint up! The National Cemetery at this place is a pleasant place to visit. We re cently took a stroll through it with Mr. Jas. Burke, the polite and efficient Superintendent. The grounds are clean and well kept, and the trees and shrub bery carefully trimmed and tnained. In this cemetery and along the railroad embankment near it may be seen large patches of Bermuda grass,, so frequently and favorably mentioned in agricultural periodicals. Here, tfee lawn mower has kept it closely cropped and it forms a dense matting on the ground so much so that one in walking over it is stronelv reminded of a Brussels carpet. In a few years it will probably supplant the prettier blue grass and white clover, as it is a vigorous grower and very tenacious of life. To Whom it May Concern.

A disgusted correspondent writes I have no confidence in any of the patent medicines advti.-ed; and when see the proprietors of any or these medicines resorting to deceptive tricks to mauce people to read their adver tisements, 1 am sure their compounds are worthless. A man who will deceive you into listening to him is sure to lie to you before he is done. Anyone who reads halt wav through a paragraph and suddenly discovers he is reading an advertisement, and then goes and buys the advertiser's medicine, is a fool and deserves to be swindled," Old Scars. Mr. Sam Colly, of this county, carries the scars of five wounds received at different times during the war. One of these wounds was a very serious one, the ball, which is now in Mr. C's posses sion, passing nearly through his body. lodged beneath the skin and was arter- terward cut out. And still this same Corporal Colly has lived to enjoy a rep- utation tor raismg ana curing nne to bacco, and he now doubtless prefers tobacco barns to rifle pits. He does not attribute his superior knowledge of to bacco culture, however, to his having been riddled with Yankee bullets. But we know of no Confederate sol dier who carries so many battle scars as Mr. Robt. Humphreys, of Lexington, N. C, who was struck about twenty times. Prick Mine. Mr. Geo. F. Frick, of Providence township, reports a new discovery on his farm. He has opened a promising outcrop of brown sulphide ore, which shows free gold occasionally. The vein is about 8 inches wide. He ad joins the Ella mining property. The prospect deserves thorough examina tion. Buck Creek. There is considerable mining going on for corundum, at Duck Lreek, in Clav countv, and at some other locali ties adioining. There is also some lit tle mining going on in that county fo mica. In Cherokee. Mining for both corundum and mica is being pushed more vigorously in Cherokee county, but mica mining is not being tors, prior to the committee being appointed, did tbe me thing. The committee bad re ceived letters from Mr. Holmes, who they wore told, was an undoubtedly respectable man, and a man upon whose word they could rely. The Chairman went on to read extracts from the let ters, which gave a very encouraging account of the value and prospects of- the mine. The Chairman went oh to say that the men who had the spending of the money at the starting of the company were not happily selected. He was desirous to avoid throwing atones, but he did not think that the men were selected with that amount of caution whfch one would exer cise if dealine with one's own Drooertv. The committee had interviewed Col. Cochrane, who had been on the snot, and that erentlenmn spoke rerr well indeed of the property. He placed the highest reliance upon Col. Cochrane's word as a ecntleman, but Col. Cochrane was not a miner : therefore, he did not think that Col. Cochrane was quite the man they ought to get a report from. The Chairman went on to refer to Mr. Emmons' work on North Carolina, in which the author spoke highly of the aurif erous capabilities of the Gold Hill property, and stated that 400,0002. worth of gold was pro duced from the property up to 1856. As he (the Chairman) had not seen the mine, the shareholders would not expect from him any statement as to what the mine looked like ; but from what he had heard from Mr. Holmes, Col. Cochrane, and Mr. Walter Tregellas, the com mittee thought it wise that the mine should have another trial, and that they should en deavor to find the money to send out a mining manager who was worthy of the post. This was a difficult job. The company was without directors, without a secretary; it was really HkeH a snip in the middle of the ocean without a rudder. There was a committee, which would go out ot otnee as soon as this meeting was over. His own opinion was that there was something in the mine. He himself was a hold er of 100 shares, and of 200. worth of deben tures, all of which he paid par for. The scheme of reconstruction was shortly this that the de benture stock with interest should be transfer red to debenture stock in the new company for the same amount, but that the interest in fu ture- should be 5 per cent, instead of 10 per cent. That the company should have the op tion for two years from Christmas, of paying the interest in cash or in fully paid shares reckoning them at 5s. per share that was to say, four shares to the sovereign ; therefore, if a man had to receive 100, interest on deben tures hew ull, if p lid in shares, receive 400 shares. There were 700 or 800 preference shares and to the holders of these it was proposed to give an equal number of the ordinary shares in the new company. Then there were 102,000 shares which were held by various parties, a arge number being held by the Chairman of the last meeting or his estate. He was inclined to think that those shares would be forfeited, as the trustee would not pay upon them. It would be left in the hands of the new directors to deal with those shares in the best way they could in the interest of the company. Ti.e committee anticipated that the shares held by the share holders proper would be paid upon, and it was proposed to give them shares in the new com pany with 17s. per share paid, leaving 3s. per share to be paid up. That would give the new company about 800. There was a certain num ber of creditors to be paid, amounting in all to 1400. or thereabouts, so the new company would have 6000. or 7000. of cash to start with, and there were also 40,000. or 50,000. of shares to be dealt with by the new directors, which they would deal with in the best way they could in the event ol the company want ing more money. 1 he programme ot the com mittee was that there should not be a lot of miscellaneous charges upon this property. There would be 15,000. of debentures, and all other shares would stand as ordinary shares. He strongly advised the shareholders to appoint Mr. Holland as one of the new directors, who ever the others might be. (Hear, hear.) What ever decision they came to regarding the resus citation of the company, the present company must be wound up ; if not they would not get rid of the fungi hanging about it.
