The Old Man Insisted Upon Having jim

"Whcn I was up in Murphy, N. c..
last summer" said . well-known rail-
road man to an Atlanta Constitution re-
porter, II saw an old man ninety years
old who had never ridden on a train In
his life. He came into the ticket Office
and bought ticket, and then went into
the waiting-room and sat down. his
grandson had come with him to the
train. but as train time grew nigh the
old man got shaky about the knees and
was about 70 back out. Friends tried
to nerve him up. but he said at last:
"'I amt a-gwine . step unless Jim
Smith goes with me and hol's my ham,.
Jim Smith was q well-known busi-
ness man, and he finally agreed that he
would ride out TO the first station with
the old man and hold his hand
"'All right. said the old man. 'nnd IL
it's too slxecry I'll jest come back
..So they boarded the train together.
and lin Smith held the old man by the
hand. The old fellow trembled and
shook in every LIMB at first. his eyes
buIred out fearfully. and he would
groan in misery.
After a mile his groaninQs became
more frequent. and when the first sta
fion was reached he reluctantly re-
leased the hand OF the faithful Jim
Smith and for the rest Of TIE journey
held on to has seat for dear life"
