A TOWN IN TWO STATES.
And . Railroad That Has Oas Rail
IN Tennessee. the other
in Virginia..

A Washington dispatch to the Chi
cago Record says that certain change
in the boundary line, as agreed be-
tween Virginia and Tennessee, has just
been ratified by congress. This re
calls good story. For years the town
of Bristol, in east Tennessee, has had
the unique distinction of being in two
states. There are two separate mu,
nicipal corporations. one under the
laws of Tennessee and the other un.
der the laws Of Virginia. They arc
known as Bristol. Tenn. and Bristol
Va. The corporation of Bristol, Tenn.
extending to the east curbing of Mair
street, the principal business thor
oughfare Of the twin cities. Both cor
porations wished TO pave this street
that is, they considered it necessary
but how to go abou. to divide the eX-
be considered.
The city of Bristol, Tenn, did not
care to pay for paving the entire thor
oughfare up to the sidewalk on the
Bristol (va) side, while the corpora
ton of Bristol, Va, could not step
across the Imaginary line and expend
city funds in Tennessee. This was n
tangled proposition for the fathers
of the two cities. 1t was supgested q
that the matter be taken 10 the legis-
lature and have the Tennessee general
assembly cede one-half of Main street
TO Virginia. The sister state was
tickled to death to accept. the propo-
sition, as Gov. Tyler told Gov. McMillin
over the telephone the other dav The
Tennessee solons passed the bill 1t
was engrossed and sent to the Virginia
general assembly. These lawmakers
accepted the gift, and thsa congress
was asked to ratify the action of the
two legislatures.
The result of the work is that the
boundary line between Virginia and
Tennessee is in the center of Main
street. There is now an electric street
car line on this thoroughfare, with one
rail in Tennessee and the other in Vir-
ginia. Each state will collect one-fS II
of the taxes on the street railway
property. The car line runs along for
a mile and half in the two states.
Many interesting stories are told of
complications in the past caused by
the boundary line.

Trousers for q Lesless Man.

II have an aunt, dear old soul,

starving family to attend to. She
would be quite at a loss without a
starving family. Sometimes l know
she is dreadfully imposed upon, but
you couldn't convince her of that.
One day last week she came to me

pair of trousers you don't want?'
What do you want pair of trousers

away with the trousers and shoes for
