 An Old Newspaper. The Mobile Regis ter, says: MT. Peter Hansen, tralnmas- ter of the Louisville and Nashville rail- road. yesterday morning displayed a copy of the Ulster County Gazette, printed in Kingston, Ulster county. N. | Y, on January f. 1900. It was published by Samuel Freer & Son, and the paper in question was Vol. 2, No. Ss. It con tains less than column account of the burial of President George Washington, under the single headline, Washington Emtombed, in marked contrast to the | flaring headlines that would ornament a similar piece of news today. There was also a two-coumn account of the action taken by the congress and the reply nf John Adams to the communication ad- dressed to him by the senate relative to the death of the president. The col | umn rules on the inside of the paper were inverted, and there is a black border around the outer edges of the paper. It is four-column folio and is very
 much worn from age and handling." Give It to Them.-The Huntsville Tri- l bune is looking out for the welfare of | that thriving city. It says: There | never was better chance than at pres | ent for some real estate owners to bring | their land to market. The Nashville, | Chattanooga and St Louis railroad will | 1uild one and half miles of side track. | They will build 1t over land already do- mated by one or our esteemed citizens if l other owners do not wish to give the right of way 20 feet each side of the track. They will not buy the right of way of anybody. They prefer to run nearly on the late survey and will do so | if the above right of way is donated. If
  | Two or three gentlemen can now be | greatly benefited by coming forward at | once and donating this right of way and l thus bringing their entire tracts into the l market as manufacturing locations. It | is a splendid chance for them. A prompt l movement will build the line at once if l the right of way is granted-so says Mr. ] Hunter Mcdonald, chief engineer of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis l railroad. The Tribune says to our citi- | Do nOt fOQl I,,t | once in this matter"
 | Gone to Her Reward-The Moulton | Advertiser prints the following: "Our l hearts were bowed down with sorrow on l Thursday morning last, when the news | was heralded around Moulton that Miss Serepta Lynch had fallen from her chair and died. She had been in feeble health | for some time, but had rallied and was sitting up when the summons came However, it found her ready and she has entered upon that rest which is prepared for the faithful. For over half century she had been 8 Christian, doing her duty Howard her fellow creatures and comply ing with every requirement of the scrip | lures. Truly a good woman has gone, | and all Moulton will miss her. For many | years preceding her death she had made | her home with Mir w. D. Irwin of this l place, whose kind family were ever ready | to minister to her every want. Had she l liN6d lNO udDS lOliSGI Sue NOulu nave | been 77 years old, and during all these | years she has been the perfect type of l the Christian. MT. Darius Lynch, her | surviving brother, is the last of ten | children, and to him we extend our sin cere sympathy in this hour of sore be- reavement. A message was sent over the | wires to Elder Jackson Gum, at Trinity, who came over and preached her fun eral to a large and sorrOWing audience l Friday. His scriptual readings, as We'll T. | Then the body was conveyed to the cem- | etery and laid to rest by loving hands 1 to await the call of her Savior, whom she
 served so long and faithfully"
 | An Alabama Made Car.-The Mobile | Register prints the following, which is very fiatering to one of Alabama's lead | ing industries: "The steamer TordenSk- | jold arrived yesterday afternoon with | fine cargo of fruit to the Orr 6 Lauben- heimer company, limited, which was un- | loaded at the Louisville and Nashville l wharf There was also loaded out of 1 this cargo one of the Pacific summer and l winter fruit cars. patented and owned by l Weinberger & Love, and built at the FL | liott Car works at Gadsden, Ala, and | used on the Southern Pacific road.
