[This article was transcribed without making changes to spelling or grammar.] Athens Messenger June 3, 1880 VINTON The McArthur woolen mills started up last week. John Austin, of McArthur, fell out of a buggy at Zaleski on Sunday of last week, sustaining injuries that resulted in his death on the evening of the day following. The McArthur Journal says Vinton county seems to be the center of attraction in the ore business. New veins are being discovered every day. The attention of ore men is directed to the eastern part of Jackson township. It was our pleasure not long since to esamine the ore in that region, and we were surprised at the quantity and quality.
