Tho dike is a very friable porphyry, interspersed with but small pieces of quart?,, which enables the rook to be readily worked . with a 'Huntington roller.

Fine Line of FANCY and STAPLE FAMILY GROCERIES HAY and FEED Goods Delivered Free Prlddy Heirs and Their Law Suits. Much has been printed In local county papers relative to the PridJy heirs and the estate whiob tbey are quite liable to come into possession of. Mr. George W . Friddy, of this city, one of tbe heirs, has prepared the following- correct state ment regarding the case, which will be of interest to his many friends in this county: In 1863 James Prlddy and his wife, Nancy, and Elizabeth Jones signed a written document which they supposed was a lease bnt which afterwards turned out to have been construed by the su preme court of Missouri to be a' deed for the nominal sum of $50 to two-ninths Interest in Ufty-two acres of land In Jackson County, Missouri, near Kansas City. The land is valued at about 16000 per acre without the improvements thereon. The Priddy heirs have a one ninth' in it. In a suit brought by tbe Prlddy heirs and others which was carried to tbe supreme court of Missouri tbe court held that said deed was void able because Mrs. Paiddy and Elizabeth Jones were both miners when the; made tbe deed. Many . disinterested witnesses have sworn that Mrs. Priddy was under twenty-one years of age when she signed the deed. The records of the circuit court of Jack bod County, Missouri, show that Mrs. Priddy was a minor and a guardian was appointed for ber a short time before this deed was signed. The tombstone at Central Point whether it showed sixty or sixty- six is of no importance to tbe Prlddys or other heirs. Mr. Wait, who made the inscription, said be was not posi tive whether the stone was originally carved sixty or sixty-six years. The claimants (the Priddy heirs) have much more important testimony than a tomb stone inscription upon which to base their claim. 'The Jacksonville Times stated that Mrs. Priddy 's age at her death was sixty-six; also that Mrs. Linville's age was fifty-three and the following week that she was fifty years and seven months, uoltber of which were correot, according to the conten tion of both plaintiffs and defendants. It would not help the Priddy heirs in their, suit to prove that the. tombstone originally was insoribd.ago.-"p0 years."- If so, she was more .t,ban twenty,-ore years old when shev aigncd. JJie deed. The plaintiffs must Drove that she was under sixty years, hence they could have had no motive in changing the Inscription. It has been proven by more tban a dozen witnesses in Missouri and Oregon that Mrs. Priddy was un der twenty-one years old when the deed was alleged to have been made. U. W. Priddy. Vacation Days.
