Good Display of Fruits atid Gere&ls oh Exhibition Notes Uy ths Way. On Ttttistlny itftetuoon. the ISth inst., in compuny with County Clerk Oliver, we started for the Harvest Homo picnic in Ktigle valley. Tlie rido from Union lo Medical Springs was made in three hours. After par taking of supper, and indulging in a bath in the waters of the world re nowned and popular springs at this place, owned by Hon. Dunham Wright, we repaired to bed, feeling much re freshed. We enjoyed a good night's sleep and the next morning started for Sparta where we arrived for dinner. Hero we met many friends, among them Hon. J. A. Wright, C. D. Keed, and others. The town was tilled with people from every section, on their way to the picnic, and the little town of Sparta presented an appearance not before seen for many years, or since the mining excitement of early days, at which time it was one of the best camps on the const. There is not a great deal of mining being done now, some of tho proper ties being in litigation, whilo others are in need of capital in oider to de velop them, yet there aro a few placer claims and quart, ledges being worked near by which tire paying well. There are ti great many rich prospects in the vicinity, and in time will be developed. We were shown some very line samples of ore from the various ledges, which were very rich with gold. In the afternoon wo took our de parture for Eagle valley and sifter a drive of one hour and a half across the barren and dry bills, came in sight of the Garden of Kden Eagle valley. The sight, as viewed from the high elevation, is indeed grand. Nearly tho whole valley is under cultivation ;if alfalfa, and the beautiful green fields, dotted with comfortable dwell ing houses, and orchards laden with all kinds of fruit, and tho immense stacks of hay, are indeed evidences of thrift and prosperity among tho fortu nate dwellers there. After descending the hill we soon arrived at the home of our edicient deputy sheriff, W. H. Usher, whore wo Ave re to stay during our visit to tho valley. Uight bore we will say that "Uncle Hill" and his e.-ti-niablo wife are comfortably located on on one of the best ranches in the val ley. Here wo met Mr. John Hlliott and wife and Mrs. .1. M. Johnson, of this city, and to say that we all en joyed tho hospitality of our good natured host aad hostess does not oxpross it. Thursday morning about 0 o'clock wo all drove down to tho grounds known as Swisher's grove, whore tho picnic was to bo held. Tho beautiful grovo was astir with people from every section and soon tho entire crowd had arrived. A large platform had been erected for Use of the band and choir, and those who par'icipated in tho literary oxorcUos of the day.

About IUU nunibeis were sold, anil about dusk the young people began to trip the light fantastic, and kept it up till daybreak. The exhibit of fruit, vegetables and fancy work was very large. We would like to give the names of tho successful contestants, but owing to the rush of otlier matters was unable to secure thein at the time. We have written to the secretary for the list but it did not arrive in time for this issue. It was the intention of the manag ers of the picnic lo have a base ball contest and somo horse races on the dav following, but tho base bullish) from Maker aud elsewhere had to re turn home the next morning, but wo believe a few hoiso races, were in dulged in. Next morning we started for home, stopping for a short timo sit Sparta and at night with .Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Sams of Rig creek, and arrived hero at 1 1 :IU) Satntday morning, being much pleased with the trip and what wo had seen. We desire to return thanks to tho many kind and hospitable people ol Faglo valley who so kindly offered us "food and dielter" while in the valley, and especially to Mr. and Mrs. Usher. It was impossible to accept all the kind invitations received. May you all live long and prosper is the best wish of Tun Scout. SERIOUS ACCIDENT. A Young Man Narrowly Eacapos Doath Near North Powder.

Ammonia Baking Bills have been introduced in the New York, Illinois and Minnesota Legislatures compelling the manufacturer of such baking powders to brand on the label in bold type, this powder "Contains ammonia." Physicians and chem ists condemn the use of ammonia in baking powders as a crime. Its constant use no matter how small the quantity deranges the stomach, neutralizing the gastric juice and destroying the complexion. It is tho small quantities taken every meal that do the mischief. It is gratifying to know there aro pure baking powders to be had on the market and at no greater cost to the consumer than some of these so-called "absolutely pure" ammonia powders.

Krtton. who has been in the eastern states for some time pn-t examin ing tho machinery nnd conferring with parties with a view of establishing a wool en mill here, returned home hist Friday. We regret to announce that he was unable to make satisfactory nrranceutents bv which the mill could be built this full and that (ho machinery owned bv the parties who have been correspondinir with Mr. Knton is not of the latest pattern nnd what Is desired for the mill here. However, Mr. Eaton vNited several otlier mills and gathered n great deal of information in regard to the business and the best machin ery adapted for this trade, and is not in the least discouraged over the prospects. In an interview with him in regard to tho matter, he informs us that he is in constant receipt of letters of inquiry in regard lo the mill and thinks that It will not bo long ero arrangements can be made for the estab lishment of a mill here, lie takes a right view ofj (hp matter and is of the opinion that if we cannot get the right machinery, with n good aud competent man with suf ficient interest in the enterprise to carry on the business on u paying bais, it is best to not hnvo a mill ut all ; but Mr. ICaton is confident of success in the near future and will , continue, ns in the past, In his on drmor to secure it. There Is no doubt but this is the best location in the state for a woolen mill, and ns soon as thr 111.111 with sullicieut expert nice nnd capital can be found, who Is will ing to take charge of the business, he will (ind plenty of aitl at the hands of Mr. Fatou, ami other business men of Union, to carry out tho undertaking.
