THE MOUNTAIN ROAD.

The promised survey of the route
for the road up the mountain has
been made which we are glad to
know has been done. Now when
will work of construction begin?
Wednesday evening June 10th we
received an application from Mr..
Hood Tucker c. E., Oliver Springs,
Tenn, offering his services to make
the survey, but bright and early
Thursday morning Mr., Scott Kel.
ley, G. E., of Jasper, arrived, and a
party Mr.. Kelley, G. H. Dav
idson, John E. Byers, Jackson Lee,
G. Sherman and Newton Fults start
ed off early to work, and the line
was finished by noon Friday.
The route trayersed is that men-
toned in a previous issue of the
News following Owen St. to a point
near the Falling Spring house then
bearing of to the west and in west
and southwesterly course by Owen
coal mine reaching the top of the
mountain near the Golden Stairs.
The distance from the depot by act
ual measurement is 500 feet short of
% miles, and the grade is easy, the
rise beng not more than 8 or 10 feet
in the hundred and the altitude at
the point reached is 993 feet above
the level of the railroad, which is the
lowest part of the mountain in the vi
entity.
But we are assured a good and
easy carriage road can be built and
the engineer will prepare profile Of
the route for the inspection of Mr.
Melcher and others in the north anC
if satisfactory, which it seems to vi
would be, there can be no excuse
for further delay.
The road is needed and badly
now.

THF citizens of Whltwell are con-
templating the incorporation Of the
town and it is being agitated by man
Y who before were opposed 20 it..
All good citizens are in favor of law
and order and the Illicit sale of liquor
is nuisance of the worst kird, and
they very properly say it must be
stopped. Our position on the liquor
question is just this, We advise
everybody to let it alone, but as the
law provides for its sale in corporate
limits, until that law can be repealed
it is better to have it's sale controlled
by law, and in the most public man
ner. No sneaking into the woods Or
back alleys, but out in the open. A
town without a corporation is like a
boat without rudder, and we are
strongly in favor of it and all laws
squarely enforced.

Don't wait for good times to come

Don't wait for good times to come
to you but go more than half way to
meet them. The way to do this is to
leave off gossipping about "free sill
YER" and Lord knows what, that our
greatest statesmen are at sea about,
and 90 to work. Good, honest hard
work will achieve results that will
astonish you, and even if you should
not get the remuneration you expect
ed, you will at least keep yourself in
good health and temper, and out of
mischief.

STRANGE LABRATORY IN PARIS.

Established in the Catacombs Under the
Jardin des Plantes.
Deepin the bowels of the earth a curl
Gus laboratory Is about to be established
in the Jardin des Plantes. Under the
gardens run some old galleries of the
catacombs, which have not been opened
in 100 years. The laboratory which Is to
be established in these galleries Will give
an opportunity to study the effect of OBJ
security upon animal life. Everyone has
heard, says we New York Press, of the
fish without eyes in the cave of Ken
lucky and other freaks which exist in
dark wells and such places. These facts
are of great Importance in studying the
evolution of man and species, but so far
no researches upon the subject have been
carried out by scientists.
Down in the deep galleries of the cata-
combs 1t is always pitch dark and fish
ponds will be dug in the solid rock and
stocked with fish to study the effect OF the
obscurity upon them and their offspring.
Animals will also be kept down there for
the same purpose.
A good deal of trouble and some danger
was experienced in opening up the gal
leries, which have for so long been closed.
The temperature 200 feet below the sur
face Is chill and damp, while the gases
which have accumulated in 100 years
made it a ticklish undertaking to de-
scend. These galleries undermine almost
the whole OF Paris and Its enVlrons, De-
ing used as catacombs and also for grow
ing mushrooms Under the Jardin des
Plantes they have never been used since
the stoneworkers left them in 1873. They
are very narrow and one has to stoop in
going through them. In some places the
roof has fallen in, but most of the gal
leries are dug out of solid rock and will
last for all time. The laboratory will be
the only one of it's kind in the world and
the savants who have undertaken expert
ments will throw new light upon the doc
trne of evolution.

small lady, carrying a hand satchel
and a Guide Book to the Metropolis"
approached the tall policeman on the
corner, and, smiling affably, asked:
Can you tell me the height of that
building over there, pleaSe? relates
writer in Puck.
1.-TWO hundred and seventy-three feet
and ten inches from the sidewalk to the
top of the tower"
THANK you ever so much. And is it
true that there are 236 deatheS in New
York every twenty-four hours?'
Cant say for sure, lady; wouldn't be
surprised, though"
"Really! Isn't it dreadful? And can
you tell me how many parks there are
in the city?"
bly,, and gave the exact number with
deep sigh. The lady positively beamed
on him as she asked:
us 1t really so that thirty years ago
this spot was cow pasture, where the
lowing kline stood knee deep in the shad-
ed stream and the only building in sight
was q church on that corner over there? ?"
The policeman looked lingeringly al his
watch.
That's what I've been told; but dare
say it's sort of exaggerated, you know
lady"
"Oh! Do you think so? I hope you're
mistaken; it's so sweet to think of these
busy, noisy streets once being peaceful
green meadows; don't you think so? And
to think that ripping brook once inter-
sected that corner, flowing between
dropping willows and alders! Do you
think that is so ?"
Sure of it, lady"
Really? Oh, I'm so glad! That is
what the guide book said. but wanted to
be perfectly certain of it. Thank you,
ever so muchv
And the small lady tripped joyfully
away, while the large, tall policeman
leaned against the block and mopped his
forehead vigorously.

Financial.

The Alabama Home Building and
Loan association now has S1,100, 900 worth
of stock in force and cash receipts of
over 100000 per annum. The stock in
this association has combined the three
most desirable features that any invest
ment can offer; viz; A cash loan value
of 80 cents on the dollar of the amount
paid in; a cash withdrawal with a fair
rate of interest, or a matured value with
all accumulated profits.
To those who wish to lay aside a part
of their monthly earnings and have their
investment returned to them with large
accumulations, at perhaps a. time in life
when their ability to earn money may be
much less than it is today, and at time
perhaps when few thousand dollars in
cash will bring comfort and happiness to
their homes, the stock in this association
offers great inducements.

Fireworks Cause "a Big Fire.

Fire broke out IN the midst of several
hundred dollars worth of fireworks in
the commission house of Buck & Leigh
ton, at Bay City. In an instant all was
ablaze in the place. Hundreds of can
non crackers roared and sky rockets
and Roman candles shot in every direc-
ton. Mr.. Buck crawled from the
building on his stomach. Mr.. Lewis,
Mr. Bucks father-in-law, has his face
burned, and a horse was cremated.
Not even the books of the concern were
saved The loss to Buck & Leighton
will reach $4,000; insured for $4,000.
The building is owned by Aid. George
Schindehette, who used the second and
third floors as part of his hotel, the Re-
public house. These floors and the
furniture were ruined by water. The
loss of the building and furniture is
about SIS 900; insured for $4,000. The
loss to the guests will be about 81, 900.
