MIR. HAMMOND RETURNS.
An Interesting Talk About Life In Hall

An Interesting Talk About Life In Hall
Mr.. A. b. Hammond returned yester-
day morning from three weeks trip to
Nova Scotia and New England. Mrs.
Hammond stopped over in IIagerstown,
and will remain with her relatives for
several days yet.
Mr.. and Mrs. Summons were also in
the party. and took the steamer from
Boston to Halifax. where tho greater
portion of tho time was spent.
Mr.. Hammond was seen yesterday by
TIMES reporter and chattcd quite
pleasantly about mis- journey.
They do nothing but fish in Hall
faX," said Mr.. Hammond. "Of course
there arc business men who run stores
and shops and men who do nothing. but
or the masses, moro than three fourths
OF them make a livelihood by fishing.
With them, it is also a sport. No one
ever gives up the business when once
engaged in it,
Tho society in Halifax is rather
crude. AS general thing, OF course
there are exceptions. A citizen OF the
United States is regarded with suspi-
cion. They seem to have an idea that
every American is u spy. and is only
setting trap to hook he.Dominion onto
this great country.
1--WE had hard time getting into the
fort. Even after we had bribed an Of
hcer with an handful of cigars to tel us
something and show us around, every
thing alluded TO was out on tho water
through the port holes. where the shot
would fall and crush the frail vessels of
Uncle Sam to pieces.
ut is delightful country to be in
during the summer. The thermom @ ter
registered not above 81 degrees the
whole time we we're there. | WORE an
overcoat all the time.
''On our return we landed again at
Boston. This is the greatest city in
America for money. On this subject
spent considerable time both in boston
and Now York. The financicrs are very
hopeful and arc under the impression
that money will be easy throughout tho
country in u short time"

night engine ia and ono cabin car in
charge of Conductor McBcth and Engi-
neer c. M. Fortune, was sent east to
examine the bridges, and see il they
were safe. Coming back they only ran
about six miles an hour. The engine
was going backward but was in front of
the cabin car. While crossing the
bridge the engineer felt tho engine and
tender run over something, and also
heard an hiron bar clink against the
rails. The engine was Jared consider
ably but did not leave the rails. When
the train reached the bank, tho engi-
neer stopped. and asked the fireman,
who camo up about this time, what had
been left on the bridge.
Together they went back TO see, and
found the unfortunate negro, Arnold
lying across the track cut almost in
half. The body was placed in tho
cabin car and brought to Roanoke.

AFTER THE LOAFERs.
officer Flick Runs Into Gang on jefferson
Street and Railroad Avenue.


There are no street crossing in the
city used moro constantly than those at
the corner Of Jefferson street and Rail-
road avenue, and none are in worse
condition. There arc two crossings
there and more loafers occupy them
than any other place in the city.
They sit on tho door steps and on tho
window stills. The proprietors OF the
business houses complain to the police,
and Yesterday morning Officer Flick as
costed three men sitting in the door of
hotel. Two of them moved Oft, but
The third remained seated in silent in
Solenco.
Twill you get up?" said the officer,
'.sor shall be compelled to take you
up?"
The man then sprang up and drawing
his fist wanted the officer to understand
he was no loafer. Now Flick speaks
pleasant enough to everybody and TAX
ing tho man by tho arm he said como
on. There was slight show of resist
ance, but tho big policeman repeated
his request going forward himself and
OF course tho other had to come. He
was bailed to appear before the mayor
this morning.
Edward Payne, who does business on
this corner, said to a TIMES reporter
yesterday: This is the worst place
ever saw for loafers They stand here
in muddy weather just to sec ladies
cross over those flagstones Z"
The reporter watched for awhile
and pretty soon four young men took
their stand on the corner and began
smoking cigarettes. They wore second
class dudes on account of money mat
tiers. Once they ranked among the first
class.
Pretty soon two young ladies came
along behind them going over towards
East Roanoke. They started across the
muddy flagstono and of course took
care of their skirts.
Didn't tell you? Didn't l toll you?"
exclaimed ono OF the young men In dis
gust that I'd bet you dollar she had
on black stockings"
- The bet was won, and all four went
down tho avenue to take a drink on the
bot.

THE COOPERATIVE TOWN co.
ElizabethtOn the Location, But an
Escrow Must Follow all ExactiOns.

1t has been known for several weeks
that the Cooperative Town Company
would finally locate al Elizabethton.
In fact the matter has been virtually
decided for some time, but the final
announcement has been held back for
the adjustment of certain preliminary
matters
The official announcement has not
yet been made, but it is very near at
hand. The company, however, has
been exacting too much. Elizabethton
is by nature one of the finest town
sites in America. The location is in a
body of land that has been valued also
for its agricultural productiveness, and
those farmers who have long lived in
ease and comfort from the income OF
their farms, did not, of course feel like
making a sweeping donation to the
town company, however great,
The company has at last succeeded
in getting an offer Of the deeds at its
own price. 1t cannot afford to leave
Elizabethton, and yet it stands, even
after it has reduced those land owners
to its own price, and begs for more.
God knows the Elizabethton people
have done more than their part.
They have made every sacrifice, and
yet that company stands ready to
make the official announcement that
Elizabethton is "in it," so we are in
formed, if she will only allow her
deeds to be held in escrow for some
stated period OF time without any pay.
The Cooperative Town Company
has a right to stay with Elizabethton
Or 60 elsewhere, but it is doing itself
an injury, in the long exacting delay,
from which it may never recover
Public confidence has all To do with
the success Of that company. If the
announcement is ever made and then
followed by ten years of good active
town building, with much industry,
then Elizabethton is to be congratu-
lated,
We hope that all may turn out
well, for the prosperity Of Elizabeth
ton would only add to the prosperity
; Of Johnson City, and to all the sur
rounding country.
Time will make all things clear
