LORENA BELLIES RIDE.


This story was written by Miss Pattie Wade
Mclean, of Huntsville. Ala, and describes an
incident that occurred in Tennessee during the
Civil War
"The blue coats are coming % came the word
one day,
Aud brought terror to the hearts of the lovers
ofthe gray.
Lorena Belle heard it, and It struck to her heart
A fear, such az seemed words could scarcely
impart,
Not for herself did Lorena Belle fear
But she had lover--so loyal and dear
And he on the mountain was hiding there near.
Oh what if they found him and he weak and
i'll
Unable to fight. with wound scarcely healed
Ere he'd surrender he'd die she knew very
we'll
For each Southern boy viewed a Northern pri-
son as hell.
But now she must act-there's for thinking no
time,
For hundred yards OF came the dreaded blue
line
She ran to the stable and saddled horse-her
horse
Which claimed the best blood the southland
cou.d boast
He had never felt touch of whip or OF rein,
But to-day he must feel them--n0r felt them in
vain
And she whispered. half fearful, as she sprang
to her seat,
For his life, oh my beauty, gain frst yonder
gate -
She struck him one blow-'twas the Grst, but
not last
And down the green lawn like an arrow she
passed
The men saw her oming--double-quicked for
the gate.
Like meteor she outstrlpt them--they ten feet
too late
And then happened the scene that proved there
that day
That heart beats warm meath the blue as the
gray.
Fire r shouted the Captain, and then added
low
Only to scare her, boys--you knowp'
The guns spake out with an ominous roar
The smoke cleared away-the girl rode as be-
fore.
And the old Captain said, she's a lover of
gray,
And would that we each had her courage TO-

tarrh by the use of powders, acid gases
inhalers and drugs in paste form
Their powders dry up the mucous

eaten away the same membranes that
their makers have aimed TO cure, while
pastes and ointments can not reach
| the disease. An old and experienced
practitioner who has for many years
made a close study and speciality Of
the treatment of Catarrh, has at last
perfected a Treatment which when

charges and curing the Inflammation.

ORGANIZATION
Of the Wickliffe Oil and Mining
Company.

At an informal meeting of the
Wickliffe Oil and Mining Company
Monday Geo. S. Hardy was chosen
president, M. h. Porter, secretary
and treasurer, and G. J Watson and
e. B. Little associate managers.
The members applying for charter
are Geo. S. Hardy, M. X. Porter, c.
J. Watson, DR.. r. B. Little, f. w.
Moore and John f. Wells, of Union
City; Chas. Linthicum, Z. ]. Neeley,
G. c. Boyd, S. ]. Moore and Matt
Smith, of Wickliffe, Ky.
In the articles of incorporation
the capital stock is designated at
$780, 900 and the price of shares
81. 90 each. Upon the granting of
the charter meeting will be held
for the election of officers, it being
understood that the selection of
president and secretary already
made are to be made permanent
Leases have been obtained from
the Wickliffe Canning Company
and all adjacent lands. These
documents have been carefully
drawn by the company's attor-
neys, Moore & Wells. under the
personal supervision of Mr.. Moore.
who spent portion of last week
upon the lands mentioned at Wick
life.
The original company will, of
course, own majority of the
shares, the remaining stock to be
put on the market at $1.00 per
share.
The discovery of traces of oil at
Wickliffe is not new thing. 1t is
reported that Government experts
located these years ago and advised
the land owners to make an effort
to secure the results OF these inves-
legations. The matter was forgot
ten until 1899, when a small can
ming factory was established, and
upon this we extract report from
the News-Banner:
"A we'll forty feet deep was dug
to furnish water for the engine.
When finished coating of several
inches IN thickness gathered on the
surface of the we'll. 1t was thought
dangerous to use the water and the
we'll was covered over and the wa
ter secured elsewhere. Nothing
more was thought of the matter
till last Christmas when several
boys playing with lighted cotton
balls soaked in turpentine rolled
one of the balls by some means in
to the we'll. There was an awful ex-
plosion and the flames ran high in
to the heavens. 1t required MANY
days to extiuguish this fire. These
facts about two months ago reached
the ears of that young Napoleon OF
commerce and Of finance, Mr.. Geo.
Hardy, who has one OF the clearest
and most Discerning lntellects of
the South. He got Mr. Lovelace, of
Martin, and Matt Smith, of Wick
life to privately examine the well.
In experimenting with lighted
matches they got flame from the
well that came near destroying both
their lives, Lovelace was horri-
bly, burned and required sever
al weeks to recover. When the
flames were again extinguished,
Mr. Hardy gave negro $40 to draw
every particle of water out of the
well. The water soon rose again
and covered with a scum of pure
refined Illuminating oil about an
inch in thickness. Mr.. Hardy
showed us a bottle of this oil at his
office last Monday. He struck
match and held it at the mouth OF
the hottie. an ordinary ounce
