Miss Vida Mau ney, of Cherryvllle, spent a few days with Miss Daisy Carpenter this week. Mrs. B. R. Hunter left last Tues day to visit ber sister, Mrs. George Falls, at Crowders Creek. We learn that Mr. J. N. Smith has eold the Logan gold mine property, -altuated on the south side of Kings Mountain, to H. A. Beard, of Battle Creek, Mich., and John Golding, of Eustls, Fla. These people have bought the mineral right and have Installed machlenry to put the mine 1n operation at once. The ore Is leavy sulphite ore and It la believed the outlook is good for pay dirt. The ore will be concentrated at the mine. Mr. Smith, who will remain with the new owners as superintend nt, left, with his two boys, Tuesday, for Richmond and Baltimore, to pro- cure other mining machinery to com plete the plant. Mr. Lorenzo Beam, of Texas, an old time citizen of this community. waa back on a visit to relatives and friends recently. Mr. Beam has been -absent from Kings Mountain 43 years. He and his old-time compan Ion, Mr. M. M. Carpenter, had aa af fectionate meeting on his return, re calling many pleasant Incidents of young manhood. Mr. Beam Bald changes in faces and landscape had 'been so great as to render recogni tion Impossible in most instances. He aald, however, that vast improve ment was evident on all aides. Mr. -Beam returns to hla Texas borne soon. The judge holds that the act of loan ing the whiskey really constitutes a sale. Prof. N. Y.

"And there is a packing case In tbe courtyard," sighed Mme. Davezac. "Will you see for me If It Is secure, dear AnatoleT" Then as tbe two girls left tbe room she added gravely: "Adele has always been fonder of you. Anatole, than of any other man. You must help to rouse her from this gloom. She wears that mourning now more than a year. Ugh! She broods; she ia so bitter, so strange; so im pulsive, so full of morbid impulse.
