The mining interest of Granville coun
ty Is on a quiet but substantial boom. The
Copper and Iron Mines o Raker City are
pushing ahead, and new shafts are being
sunk. The very best copper and iron
ores are being mined in large and paying
quantities New machinery is now being
put in and Raker City will soon be a
prosperous mining center.
In the Southern part of the county, in
Dutchville township, gold in paying
quantities has been discovered on th
lands of our prosperous farmer, Mr. W.
M. B. Veazey. On his land there is
also a deposit of fine iron ore and some
silver. We trust this will pan out a big
thing for Mr. Veazey and create a big
luxmi for old Granville.
Rapid developments are being made In
the Titanium mine in Fis hlng Creek, on
the lands of a wide-awake farmer, where
lies one of the most valuable deposits of
this mineral in the United States.

Funeral services were held at 11
o'clock, March 24, over the remains of
the late Confederate General Joseph E.
Johnston, at St. John's Episcopal Church.
The ehuich was crowded with Confed
erate Veterans and many people prom
inent in official life. The services were
of the simplest character; no attempt at
decorating the church was made, and no
flowers, save a wreath ot immortelles on
the coffin, were visible. This simplicity
characteristic of the man, was observed
at his earnest request, as he did not de
sire any display. Though the church
was filled with battle scarred veterans
there was not a uniform visible to an-
warded by leaving it at this office.
Mr. J. W. Adcock, a young and thrifty
farmer of the southside, sold 1200 pounds

fat opossum, and he proceeded to put Lis

by his good luck Mr. Hobgood mad an
other dive into the hollow with a stick
and struck something soft. He worked for
a few minutes and succeeded In drawing
out another grinning fat opossum, and Lb
too fared the same fate of the first one.
Mr. Hobgood was so highly delighted
with his luck he made another dive for
the hole and commenced to probe again,
and heard a noise in the hollow, conclud
ing he would have three opossum to lug
to the house, but lo and behold a hissing
sound was accompanied by a huge high
land moccasin and following close behind
him was a red-headed scorpion. Mr. II.
was somewhat astonished, but realizing
the situation he proceeded to lay the stick
on the snake at a rapid rate making short
woric of the job. The scorpion was a bust
ler and escaped the wrath of Mr. Hobgood
who had sat down to rest after his hard
battle with the Inhabitants of the hollow.

He had with him Pelton Mosa, colored,
