For Road Surfacin-.

Here is a scheme for providing
crushed stone ready at hand for sur
facing country roads. In many Sec
tions of the Middle and Eastern
States old tottering stone walls flank
the highway on either side. Owners
would generally be glad to get rid of
these old walls. Let traction engine
propel the crusher along the road and
furnish power to do the crushing, the
old walls to provide the material,
which is thus left exactly where it is
needed without the necessity of twice
handling. New England Homestead.

Some of the best roads in Tennessee
are claimed by Hamilton County.
They are so well appreciated by all
classes that the Chattanooga News says
there is a growing tendency among
the farmers along our good roads to
buy wheels, and this season finds hun
dreds of them that used to have to
hitch up their teams and take from two
to five hours for u trip to town now
come in on their wheel and are back
home in less time than it used to take
them to make the trip one way. Thus
the old world do move, and the farm
ers are not the least among the pro-
gressive of their brethren"

A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Mr.. Hayes Tobacco House Burned.

Some two months ago Mess. F. ].
Hage and T. A. Whit opened tobacco
business here as brokers, and rented the
old Hassell shop belonging to Mr.. F.
P. Shields, on the corner of 10th ana
Main streets. They have been doing
a lively business there ana were buying
considerable tobacco from the farmers
OF this community and seemed to be
doing we'll.
Wednesday night of last week at
O'Clock some ono from Gray's livery
stables gave the alarm OF fire. 1t was
found to be the tobacco house of Mess
Hage and Whit.
1t was an old wooden building, and
containing quantity of dry tobacco,
it was soon entirely consumed. Before
any force could arrive to check the fire
the entire building was enveloped in
flame. It was with some difficulty
that the wooden building on the corner
across the street was saved.
There was insurance on the tobacco
to the amount of $4,000. The origin
of the fire is unknown. Mr.. Hage
had not been to the house during the
day, being engaged in doing some
painting tor the Carolina Buggy Go.
Mr.. Whit had spent most of the day
out OF town attending to the sburnlng
of plant bed. There had been some fire
in the building during tae day, but no
one suspected danger from it. Mess.
