Stanly's G:ld. Stanley Xeu:s. Only about a month ago gold was discovered on W. S. Ingram' land, and at once Mr. Ingram allowed par ties to commence prospecting for the same. As a result in about ten days the entire neighborhood became great ly excitcl. As many as fifty men le gan search at or.c, and an extraordina rich find has been the result. Last Saturday a nugget weighing ' dwt. was found and a great many others ranging from of a dwt. to ?A) dwt?, and the farm of about 200 acres that could have been bought fo .fJ,"00 has suddenly been increased in value to an extent unknown. Some say .?.",000 lias been offered for it and others -f 12, 000. As to the manner of working the mine, the old-fashioned rocker ia used, but often the gold in clearly de tected without the use of the rocker. Mr. Ingram does not want the mine develoied any farther. It bids fair to rival the Tel; Saunders mine. To Protect the Souvenir Coins. Exchange. The World's fair directors find them selves in possession of some 25,000,000 souvenir half dollars which they have been unable to dispose of at .11 each. They feel that it would be an injustice to the people who have paid their dol lars for souvenirs to issue these at their face value and have decided rather to have them coined over in ordinary halves paying the expenses of so doing at the mint. Notice to this effect will be sent to Washington in a few days. The di rectors are determined that there shall he no glut of the coins on the market, and people who have paid .$1 for them will probably soon find their value above the cost price. Confession of an Editor. JJj-rh'l.tgr. A .'mail boy in Maine, who brought home a mud turtle from a jond a quarter of a rnile awny, noticed that whenever let free, the turtle set off in a 1-ee line direction to the pond. The boy tried to eonfu-e the turtle in every wav he could devi.-c, but the turtle was too smart for him and always started off in the right direction as if he knew where he was going and was bound to get there in the quickest time possible. And now the boy has puzzled the a hole township by demanding to know how that turtle knew in what direction his ancestral pond lay. 5,000 Palmetto Asparagus Plants for sale. J. Y.

Turning tho tables on Mr. Depow. Charily and Children. "Some years ago, says a writer in the Detroit Free Press, who might have been imagining and might not, "I was in a small town in Xew York State where Chauneey Depew was bill ed to make a speech that night, and it hapjened I stopped at the same hotel he did. Just after supper the editor of the local paper dropped in to see Mr. Peiew and the distinguished gen tleman proceeded to have some fun with the country journalist. He had, too, and every now and then he round ed up a sentence against the editor by saying : "Oh, you can't believe every thing in the newspapers," the editor, having used newspaper matter verv largely in his argument. "After the speech making was over the editor met Mr. Depew in the hotel office again, and there was a big crowd present. " ' ell, my friend,' inquired the genial Chauneey, 'what did you think of my speech ?' 'The editor hesitated a moment. " 'Are you,' he asked solemnly, 'the genuine Chauneey M. Depew? " 'Certainly, why not?' " Are you the one that all the news papers have been saying was the finest epeaker, the greatest talker, the sharp est stumper and the brightest wit before the public?' pursued the editor. " 'I guess I'm the one,' blushed the gentleman. Why?" "Oh, because you can't believe every thing there is in the newspapers,' and Depew shook hands with the editor and called it square."
