fitted TO handle a subject like the above.
Among other things, he said that the his
tory Of the early days of the State is be-

chronicle the events. We warmly up
hold his idea that the history of the State
should be better known to its people.
There are among us a few, well along in

history of the days Of the pioneers and
we hope they may be prevailed upon to
give their treasures to future generations.

rapidly. Last Monday a gentleman

caught in the river, south Of town.
A very destructive hail and wind storm
passed over the northern part Of this
county On last Monday evening, blowing
down a number of barns,ss blacksmith
shops, spring houses, fences, timber,
fruit trees, and almost entirely destroying
the wheat and oat crops, gardens, ETC.
Corn being backward in that section, the
injury to it is not very serious. The
path of the storm was about one mile
wide, and the wind blew in a perfect gale
while hail stones as large as partridge
eggs fell. Fruit trees that were not blown
down were literally stripped of their
young fruit and foliage. Near Locust
Springs the barn of Mr.. Abe Crumley
was blown down, also the barns Of
Messrs. Jas. Brown and VIM. Pierce

THE U
Completion Of the Great Work on tie
Raflroads.

Railroads.
The 241 miles of the E. T., v. & G.
roads track, from Bristol 10 Chattanooga
were changed Tuesday. Nearly one
thousand men were at work on 1t, and by
noon trains began running.
This completes one Of the greatest rail
road movements ever inaugurated. For
years past the guage Of the roads north
and south have been different and this
alone proved an endless sorrce Of trouble
and expense.
OF the IS, 1913 miles Of road in the south
about one-half had been changed in
gauge TO the standard A feet, 0 inches.
Work on the remaining roads begun
Tuesday morning at 4 o'clock and was
completed before the sun set.
Tennessee had 1886 miles to change,
and about three-fourths of this amount
had been changed before Tuesday.
On section 0 in charge Of VIM. Lemons
OF this place work began at the eastern
end of the section at Miller's switch at
$3.50 Tuesday morning. For three hours,
until reaching Jonesboro, a mile of track
an hour was changed, the gang reaching
Jonesboro at 7:3O O'Clock. j. Z. Plat
and crew with an engine and three box
cars were the first to pass over the road.
MIR. Platt is supervisor of the road from
Bristol to Morristown. His division was
ready for the passage Of trains at 10 a. m.
Supervisor Plat complimented Mr.. Lem
ons on the excellent work he did and said
that it was the best on the line between
Jonesboro and Bristol.
No. | west was only two hours and
twenty minutes late, and the evening
train east was only forty minutes behind
time.
The extra hands were all paid off at the
end of the days work, by the depot
agents, each one receiving $3.50.
1t was a busy day for all hands. Tele-
graph operators were on duty from $3.50
in the morning to report what progress
was being made. Everything, so far as
we can learn, went off without a hitch
and trains are now running on schedule
time.
This work places all roads of the coun
try on the same footing, and will be of
great Importance in handling freight, etc.

cident on Tuesday of last week, at his
sawmill above Big Creek. He was run
ming a train of log cars down the tramway
from his timber to the mill. The track
was wet and slippery and he lost contsc!
of the cars which were rapidly gaining
Roadway. Seeing his danger he jumped
from the car, which as 1t proved, ran on
and delivered its load at the mill. In
passing the bolster struck him a severe
blow on tho calf Of the leg. cutting a deep
cash, and knocking him into the brush
where he received an ugly cut in the face
and several hard bruises. 1t was first
thought he was permanently crippled,
and that his spine was injured, but later
advices put a happier face on the affair;
and there seems to be no good reason for
doubling his ultimate complete recovery.

Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1886-12-01

This is time of the year when every
other man complains that his feet hurt
him. 1t is always SO just before spring
sets in and before cold weather arrives.
It is not because men wear tight shoes,
but it seems to be a freak of nature in
this climate. The rest Of the body may
be pleasantly warm, but the feet seem
to be subject to heating process that
the loosest or most perfect fitting shoe
can not prevent. Shoemakers observe
that they have more complaint on ac-
count of shoes made during the two
periods have mentioned than at any
other time during the year. merely
state the fact from my own experience
and observation, and leave it for the
scientist or physician to explain.
Speaking of shoes, wonder why it is
that boots have so largely fallen from
the grace of fashion. Ten years age
men wore boots, now shoe store will
not sell two dozen pairs during the win
ter. am speaking. however, only fos.
The city, as in the country boots are AZ
popular as ever. Perhaps there is good
reason for change. Boots are not as
dressy asshoes, and they are not bit
wazgser than shoes, for the leather
gives little protection against cold to
the calves. fFIokp- Democrat.

ANNAPOLIS, ND, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DEcEMBER l.
The Agea d the Presldent..

Those who have held the nohlest posi-
ton known to our form of government
attained it late in life. Particularly is
this true of President Harrison, who was
the Oldest of the presidents. being 81
years of age when he was elected. Bu-
chanan was 65 when he became chief
magistrate. and next to him, in point of
years was Zachary Taylor, the hero of
Buena Vista, and the eleventh president
of the United States. John Adams,
Washington's successor, was 81, as also
was Andrew jackson. and both Madison
and Monroe and also John Quincy
Adams were 58 when they attained pres
idential honors. Washington, jefferson,
and Martin Van Buren, were each SO,
and James X. Polk was 4S. franklin
Pierce was next to the youngest, being
T., while u. S. Grant was AZ at the time
cf his inaugural
OF the three vice presidents, Tyler,
Fillmore, and johnson. the former was
81, the latter 50, and Mr.. Fillmore was
80 Hayes was 81 Garfield was 40, Ar
thur was 80, and President Cleveland
was AZ. Four presidents, Washington,
John Adams. Jefferson. and Madison,
went out of office in their Goth year.
Eleven days after Jackson's retirement
he was 10. John Adams lived longer
than any of the presidents. He died
July 4, 1925, at the age of 81. jefferson
died the same day, and but few hours
later. Madison lived to be 81 John
Quincy Adams to be 81. Van Buren, so,
and jackson to be 20. Monroe died at
the age of 70. on the 4th of July, 1928.
President Pierce retired from office at
the age of 80. Mr.. Polk at 81. The lat
ter died three months later.
Three of the presidents, jefferson,
John Adams and Monroe, died on the
Fourth of July. The two former at the
same hour. Lincoln was GO years old
when he was murdered. The later pres
idents have been shorter lived than the
chief magistrates of the earlier period.
