one to all in attendance.

Winston was chosen as the place and
the second Tuesday in July 1892, the

AN AGED LADY IN sURRY
Saw the First Locomotive Start in
ENGLAND in 1890.

We learned few days past of q
very old lady living in Surry
county, near Capp's mill, by the
glIsh by birth and being quite old
could perhaps give us some facts of
interest about her early live. Her
son in answer to q Communication
says: My mother was born in Duff
ton, Parish, Westmoreland county,
England, February 20, 1909; going
from there to Liverpool in her 21st
year, reaching there on the Goth day
of August in the year of 1880. She
remained in Liverpool for about two
weeks and during that time had the
pleasure of seeing the first locomo-
tive ever run in that place make it's
trial trip. The engine was dec
Grated with flags captured by Well
lington at Waterloo. There were
thousands of people out to see the
train start.
On the fourth of September of the
same year she took a vessel for
America, landing in New York on
the 9th of October, having been out
at sea seven weeks. Think of the
difference in the time it takes to
cross the Atlantic now; you can
make the trip in six days!
Mrs. Nixon wsnt from New York
to Richmond, Va. going from there
to Wythe county, from there she
went to Surry county where she met
and married her present husband.
While quite old she remembers
many things in her early life of in
terest, more of which We may give
at some day in the future.

The lie. Factory started.

Mr.. D. Fl. King since the first of
April has had force of hands
busy erecting for him an ice factory
and getting the machinery in place
and properly connected.
Monday the machine was started
and the freezing process began. The
plant has a capacity of twelve tons
Office per day. and the beauty about
it is the ice will be made from pure,
distilled water, with every impurity
eliminated. The work of putting up
the machinery has been done under
the supervision of Mr.. B. J. Jamia-
son, of Columbus, Ga, who thor
oughly understands his business. The
ice machinery was purchased of the
Columbus Iron Works, and is consid-
cred among the best made.
An ice factory in Winston is a mat
ter of more Importance than one
might think at a glance. For three
years we labored hard to induce some
one to engage in the business, and
we are very much gratified to beable
to chronicle the fact now. Our peo-
pie should see to it that Mr.. King has
all the eDcOura cement necessary. It
is a home institution and worthy of
liberal support, and we trust he
may receiveit.

ty large figures but it tells in round
numbers the amount of leaf tobacco
that was sold in Winston during the
seven months-from October 1st,
