TOADVlNE'S ROMANCE.
The Name Is Mathematician Northern Names in the
 County.

The name Toadvine is one of the most euphonious in the nomenclature of Jeffer- son county, and has often figured promi- nently in the annals of it's history. Toad vine has been embalmed in story, sung in song and given a romantic and piquant fa- vor to fiction. It is one of the centers of culture and civilization in the great min- eral district. Yet the uninitiated are ig- norant of the significance of the name, or, if it suggests anything at all to their minds, it is a scene of rural conte ntment, where the toads sit upon the sweet potato vines and sing the summer hours away. But the name has romantic origin. MT. Cape Smith, the big man of Toadvine, was brave soldier in the Con .ederate army. He was captured by the enemy, and held as prisoner of war. One of the federal guards was named Toadvine, and he seemed to take quite fancy to Prisoner Smith, and showed him many favors. One day he de- fended MT. Smith from the brutality of another guard. Mr. Smith secrstly vowed that if it ever lay in his power he would re- turn the favor. After the war the village that Mir. Smith honored with his home was among the first in the state to catch the in- spiration of new life and hope. It first felt the impetus that was urging the new south on to its grand and glorious career. It grew rapidly in population, and soon became important enough to demand
 
 naming of the new postoftice was left to Mr. Smith by the postmaster general. Here was the opportunity for MT. Smith to return the courtesy shown him by the yankee guard, and with true southern chivalry he reciprocated the favor with in- terest. Thus Toadvine came into being, and thus it bears northern name. Like Birmingham, Toadvine is the outcome of the new south. Like Elyton, which is it's equal as a center of culture and civilization, it bears northern name.
 This train of thought leads to the re- mark that northel men and methods have made their impress on Jefferson county. The first teachers were from New England, and they so imbued the young and rising generation with their ideas that traces of their work can be found to this day. MT. Ely, the founder of Elyton, was a Con- necticut man. The map of the county is dotted with such northern names as Ely ton, Thomas, Aldrich and Toadvine. Jefferson county is not as purely southern as south Alabama.
