Passing of the Polk Place

The fate of James X. Folks homt
at Nashville, which has recently
aroused the press of Tennessee, does
not speak we'll for the patriotism o.
the State that he once governed anC
from which he went to the White
House. Fourth of July orators anC
toastmasters in Tennessee are con
stantly referring to James X. Polk,
but for all that the residence that be
loved and lived in is soon to be an
apartment house. The new build
ing is an ornament to the capital
city of the State, but it is to be re-
GREETED that the old home place OF
one of the most prominent Tennes-
seeans was not preserved in honor
of its owner.
The Polk place in Nashville oc-
cupied a very prominent site in the
central part of the city. The grounds
were spacious and in proper cOndi-
ton would have been very attract
i've. Despite the fact that in recent
years the place has been in litigation
and in consequence uncared for,
many visitors were drawn to the old
residence on account of its associa-
tons.
President Polk thought very high
ly of the old homestead and attempt
ed to preserve it in the Polk family.
In his will he provided that his wife
should have a life interest in the
place. After her death it was to
pass to Tennessee as trustee with
the Legislature selecting each sue
cessive occupant.
President and Mrs. Polk left no
children and the occupants of the
homestead in each generation should
the most worthy member
of the name and family. When
President Polk died his remains
were inferred on the grounds and a
handsome tomb was erected over
the spot. When his beloved wife,
a woman who of all the matrons of
the White House most impressed
her personality upon it, died, she
was inferred by his side.
1t was then the heirs moved to
break the will, which was the first
of its kind upon record. The effort
of the heirs was successful and the
sale was ordered. In the opinion of
the Chancellor the will had created
a perpetuity and house of nobility
which are not allowed in Tennessee.

The Polk place, by virtue of the
sale, became the property of Judge
j. Nj. Dickinson, now of Chicago,
and for the past two or three years
was held by him.
During last winter Mr.. Frederick
Brown, an architect from Buffalo,
purchased the place with the view
of erecting an apartment-house upon
the site and dividing the spacious
grounds into city lots. just when
the sale was concluded, j. CraigMc-
Lenahan, of Nashville, offered Mr..
Brown sum slightly in advance OF
his purchase price and became the
owner of the property.
Upon the purchase Mr.. McLena-
han announced that he would hold
the Polk place for reasonable time
TO give the State or any patriotic So
ciety chance to purchase it at the
cost price.
No offers were heard of and dur
ing the part summer the work of
erecting an apartment-house of a
very handsome and modern kind
was begun.
The north wing of the old resi-
dence was torn down and the re-
naming walls of the building be-
came the wall of the new structure.
1t was contemplated to make the
apartment house five stories and very
modern in it's appurtenances, and
the work of conversion is now well
under way, so that the famous old
homestead has become a thing of
the past.
The original building was a sub
stantially built dwelling. 1t was
of the old colonial type of architect
ure, of brick and very massive in its
appearance. After it became in
volved in chancery it grew dilapi-
dated from lack of improvement, its
aspect was decidedly gloomy and
uninviting. The tomb of the for
mer owner and his estimable wife
were removed to theCapitol grounds.
The grounds generally lacked care
and attention and became unsightly,
the north boundary of the lawn be-
ing poorly stretched barbed wire
fence.
In past years movements were
started looking to the purchase and
perpetuation of the Polk place, but
all ended in nothing, until now it
has practically passed out of exis-
tence.-Nashville American.

The Brownsville States Graphic
says: "The Covlngton Record has
case of political jim-iams; all be-
cause it imagines the horrid fellows
who led the Democratic party to
victory in the past are talking about
reorganization of the party. As
the party has been controlled by
Populites and Free Silver Republi-
cans for the past six years without
winning an election, we fail to see
wherein it will be damaged by the
return of Josiah Patterson, John G.
Carlisle, ct. al. Under their leader
ship the party gained control of the
national government, and but for
the wild, foolish and uncalled for
fight against the last Democratic
administration by Democrats, the
party would now be controlling the
destinies of the United States"

Bart Green's Ghost.

Bart Green's ghost, according to
an afternoon neighbor, has agar
revisited the county Jail, and this
time "cuffed" defenseless darkey
on the jaw and nearly knocked down
The Sun gave graphic description
of the visitation, even to the point
of quoting the exact language OF
the departed. The result of this
sensational story is that it will deter
all the darkies in the country from
putting up at the county Jail, and
it Is likely that there will be a
perceptible falling off in the per-
quisites of the sheriff and attending
attorneys.
Bart Green was negro who was
hanged in the county Jail number
of years ago for a most diabolical
murder, and there is now living
those who will testify to the fact of
the return of his spirit. Certain
it is that the negro Green tainted
upon the scaffold and had to be held
up by a deputy until the sheriff
could place the moose about his neck,
and was in limp and unconscious
condition when the trap was sprung
that jerked him into eternity.
The pen artist of the Sun display

in his description of the uneasy
ghost.-Jackson Dispatch.

All day long the wild winds sweep
Over woodlands. valley and plain,
The leaves and flowers to reap
With the rush Of a storm-swept main.
The leaves drift on the wintry breath,
Like bright, golden-winged butterflies;
Glinting, floating on to death,
To graves, whence they never rise.
In the fields and meadows bare
The cricket trills his lonesome lay,
A dirge Ger flowers 50 fair
With all their beauty swept away.
Our souls yearn for other days,
When bright sunshine, birds and song
Babe our hearts to sing His praise
