He is working two shafts which yield good ore averaging from $8 to $lO a ton. In some streaks the yield is as high as S4O a ton. George T. Chester, who is now developing a property near Canton, Ga., has already spent $5,000 there and will spend $3,000 more, and believes he is on the sa'me lead as “the steady bullion producer,” seven miles distant Assays on (the Chester property run from $lO to sl,boo a ton. Kansas farmer—Yes, sir; that well Is seventy-five feet deep. Had to dig dowm all that distance to get water. Visitor (from Kentucky)—And you dug seventy-five feet for it? Great Scott! —Chicago Tribune. A good many church people think more of doctrine than of religion. The morning after a big wedding, the women are nearly always cross. A man’s morality depends somewhat upon the size of the town be is in.
