steps are being taken TO surrender the road

mortgages We understand, however, that
they intend 70 finish broad gauge road
10 Vernon, from New Albany. This will,
We are sure, ultimately form part Of a
New Albany & sandusky Road With that
part finished, and the present Northern
roads, we are confident that nearly half
enough stock can be obtained along the line
to finish Il from Vernon to its Northern
connections. Notwithstanding the losses
along the line Of the valley Road, y there
Is yet enterprise enough In Old Franklin
to take largs subscriptions IN such road.
Few will jeopardise their entire property rs
they did In the "valley Road" but hun.
dreds win gire largo per cent on their
wealth 10 have such road to traverse the
county, and we hope that the friends Of the
road win not finally abandon the work.

A Case in Point for Young Men.

The Texas Civilian, in notice of Hon.
Jas ). Green, recently elected Senator from
Missouri, has the following
The Son of extremely poor parents. in
Fanqnicr county, Virginia. he removed to
Missouri, about 1910, at the age of about
IS. In 1912, he was employed as keeper
OF village bar, at IS per month, his first
entrance into town lif. in that situation, u
lawyer in the village made his acquaintance.
discovered his talent, anl trn'lcrcd him books
and his own tutoragc, if he would study law.
Green readily accccdcd, and read for a year
behind tho bar, whenever the demands for
drinks allowed him time. Within two
years from that time he had taught coun-
try school, attended Il grammcr school HIM
self; made several speeches before a lebat-
ing club, aud received license as Il lawyer.
lie then represented his county in a
Democratic State Convention of S43.4 and
there made his debut as politician, in a
speech Of astonishing beauty, elegance and
power. His fame as Il prodi gc, WAS carried
to The extremes Of the State by the return
ing delegates, and he was placed Oh the
electoral ticket for Polk and Dallas. 1t was
in that canvass that we first SAW him. lie
was travelling and debating Will, the most
eloquent Wing Of the State. Before mix
ed crowd oftwo thousand people, where his
antagonist had tremendous prestige, Green
rose trump phantly above him, broke the ma
gic spell Of his fame, and carried off the
banners. As he descended from The stand
the ladies threw boqnets at his feet and the
audience shook the building with shouts of
rapturous applause. He was sent TO Con-
gress in 1915, rs so, and by Mr.. Pierce
appointed Minister to New Granada. III
health rendered his stay short. Last year
he was again sent, and now he is elevated 70
