FORTY THREE YEARS ALONE.
An Indiana Woman Spends All That Time
in Dark Room.


Lafayette, Ind, June a. "A most re-
markable case has been developed near
the village of Winthrop, in Warren coun-
ty, which affords physicians new field
for investigation.
Forty three years ago Mrs. Perry
James became insane, her popularity
being an aversion TO company and de-
sire to be perfectly alone. She was not
| dangerous, but her wish to become Sc
elusive was so great that she was pro-
vided with room at her own home,
where she has lived a hermit life for
forty three years, being cared for by her
husband until he died fouryears ago, and
later by her two daughters. So close
did she keep herself that neighbors
moved into the community, and chill
dren grew to manhood and womanhood
without knowing of her presence. And
| it is even said that son-in-law while
doing everything possible for her COM
! fort, lived in the same house for many
years without even seeing her. The affiict-
ed w5man's peculiarities were apparent
ly satisfied by the seclusion granted her,
for she liveasin that little room content
eddy, and with little trouble to those
about her, from young womanhood to
old age, she now being in her seventy
fifth year. This week she began to
show a return of reason, and made in
quiry concerning relatives and neigh
bors whom she knew before her mind
became affected. Many of them had
moved to ether parts, some had died, but
there were three or four who still re-
NAMED, and when she expressed a de-
sire to see them they were brought into
her presence. She cOnyersed nationally
on common subjects, and evinced a de-
sire to once more emerge into the world
and become one of its actors. Her aver
sion to meeting people has disappeared,
her peculiarities are dissolving, and upon
subjects with which she is cOnversant she
talks with freedom and clearness. There
are indications that she will fully recover
her mental faculties if her life is spared
One of her Authorizations that have pas
sed from her was that the air was full OF
balloons filled with men, all coming to-
wards her.

He Got Turnip Seed.

There is gentleman in Alexandria
who involuntarily started farm. 1t
happened this way: His front yard was
as barren Of grass as Bill Nye's head is
of any hirsute adornment. With view
to having it green and pretty he went
over to the agricultural department and
begged some lawn seed, which were
willingly given him by Secretary Nor
ton. He then returned home; and with
much satisfaction and expectation plant
ed them. Pictures of beautiful green
lawn and neighbors green with envy
were conjured up before his fanciful
mind, and he watched the beaming sun
shine and refreshing April showers with
the deepest interest.
In few days the sprouts began to
show above the earth. But they were
very curious looking sprouts, and they
seemed about as much like blades of
grass as spade is like a pick. The gen.
tleman began an investigation. The
sprouts began to grow with rapidity,
and in few weeks there was more pros
pect of having a vegetable garden than
a lawn. Authorities were consulted,
and after time it was discovered that
Mr. Morton had made a mistake. In
stead of grass he had presented the
Alexandrian with turnip seed. Wash

TIE OUTLOOK FAVORABLE
FOR THE EXTENSION OF THE CoLUM-
BUS SOUTHERN.
The Bluffton News Talks About the Section
1t Would Traverse--Routes That
Are Suggested.

Button is still receiving encourag-
Ing information relative to her railroad
project. Until the meeting of the di-
rectors of the Columbus Southern,
however, nothing definite can be known.
That which is known is that it is the
intention of the Columbus Southern
officials to extend their road at no dis
tant day somewhere in this direction,
and that Button is made hopeful by
the fact that the route she proposes is
regarded as he most inviting that could
be found anywhere in the direction
contemplated.
A road from Dawson to Blutfton
would traverse comp aratively level
country, where but small amount OF
grading would be required and where
there would be but few streams to bridge
or trestle. 1t would pass through
plantations in high state of cultivation
where the right-of-way is already largely
cleared of trees and stumps.
AS an agricultural and fruit belt this
section cannot be surpassed in Georgia,
because the lands are notably fertile
with a clay and mari subsoil, and being
level and watered by never falling
streams, makes it the ideal section,
where for an indefinite time cotton, corn,
sugar cane, upland rice, grasses, melons
and fruits and vegetables of all kinds,
and stock raising and dairying will -four
Fsh and make it throughout the coming
years a densely populated and progressive
country.
The remainder of route most popularity
spoken of just now is from Blutton TO
Blakely, and thence to some point on
the Alabama Midland. But when the
general Interests of the MAN, line are
consulted and surveyors put to work,
some other route may be selected. One
that seems very inviting is in south
western course from Bluffton, where the
same level, fertile belt is found, and
where the finest pine, oak, cypress and
other valuable timbers are in LAVISH
abundance. No finer belt OF tmDer
can be found in the South than in this
favored section. The lands are OF the
best quality of loan, with clay subsoil
and will in future years, after the timber
has been carried to the markets of the
world, remain and furnish a continuous
source of wealth to agriculture, horti-
culture and all Industries that require a
first.class soil and healthful country.
Continuing still further southwest, a
splendid route would pass through Henry
and Geneva counties in Alabama, via
Geneva to Pensacola bay.
