FAMOUS POsTOFFEEs GONE.
Inevitable Efec. Of thu Rural Free Delivery
on Historical Spots IN Tennessee.

on d1StOrlcal SpOtS IN tennessee.
The establishment of 800 free rural de-
livery routes in Tennessee and the conse-
quent abolition of from $50 to 700 post
offices has wiped from the postal map the
majority of the historical towns i'll the
State. New and prosperous towns have
sprung up near the villages which were
notable in the early days OF the Republic,
and they have been selected as distributing
points for the mail.
Bean Station. Grainer County, where Will
liam Bean iii 1T69 built the first cabin
put up by d white man III Kentucky, Ten
nessee or Western North Carolina. This
office will hereafter be supplied from Tate
Spring.
Another noted office that becomes eX-
tinct is Nollichucky, where Jacob Brown
occupied the first store in Tennessee or
Kentucky. or in fact anywhere south of
the Ohio River, in 1T72. and where it is
thought that Russell Bean, the first child
born in Tennessee. first saw light. 1t
was for bravery in IL battle with Indians
at this point that John Sewer won the cog
nomcn. Nollichucky Jack.
4 few hundred yards from this Office is
the gigantic beech tree which bears TIE
famous inscription, ID. Boon ciled a bar
in the year 116O'' But it is thought that
the pioneer had been in what are now
Tennessee and Kentucky before he carv ed
his name on the tree.
In North Carolina is tine battlefield Of
Kings Mountain where John Sewer
turned the tide of the Revolution by de-
feating Gen. Ferguson and his British
hosts. Sycamore Shoals Postofficc, where
Sewer of Tennessee; Col. Campbell. of
Virginia. and the South Carolina forces
met to drill for the fight. can not be found
now as Il postoffice. a free rural delivery
route is now supplying the town.
Pennington, Marshal County, which
lacked only one vote of being made the

delivery.

Davy Crockett met and won Polly Finley.
Here the first Sunday school in Tennessee

coach line had its main station ut this
point.
The town which came near being the
first Capital of the State. Kingsport, Sui
livan County. has suffered the same fate.
owing to n mail route running from Fall
Branch. KingSpOrt was once the home OF
John Sewer. and he is said to have at
one time decided to make it the Capital Of
the State instead of JanesbOrO. and failed
to do so owing to the hatred he had for
Il prominent citizen of the town.

who have died in the past six months.
The large church was packed with mem
hers OF the g. A. X. and w. X. c.. A
letter was read from Chief
Torrance. from which the following is an
extract:
Death is snid to he a mystery-and SO
it is: but if the dead should return and
ask us What is life! none could answer.
for life is Il mystery, and deep as death
can be- If life. with all its duties. cares
and sorrows. is sweet, death should be no
less so: for if often comes as the HberatOr
of him whom freedom cannot release. the
physician of him whom medicine cannot
cure. and the comforter of him whom
time cannot console.
"It is impossible. as Swift says. that
anything so natural. SO necessary. and so
universal as death should ever have been
designed by Providence as an evil to
mankind. The young may die. the old
must. and never before in the history of
our Order could it be more truly said
:. That our hearts, like muffled drums, are
beating
Funeral marches to the grave
"The whitening hair. the failing vision,
and the halting step all prefisure the in
evitable hour. We have surely joined
that pale procession which endless moves
on to that land of shadow to which our
comrades have gone. Change-cOntinual
change--is written upon everything"

They had made the march of 33 miles in
about nine hours. Col. Israel Garrard,
commanding the First Brigade of Stone
mans Cavalry, now reported to Gen.
Burbridge.
At midnight of June 10 Burbridge
| moved out from Lexington with his en-
tire force toward Paris, to which point
he had learned Morgan's forces were NOV
ing. Burbridge arrived mt Paris the next
morning at 5 o'clock. He found that the
enemy had threatened the place the day
before. but drew off when fired upon by
the artillery of Fort Robinson. During
the day the enemy was reported at
Georgetown, and heavy artillery firing
was heard from the guns at Frankfort.
so it was uncertain where the main rebel
force was to be found.
HoBsON'S COMMAND OVERWHELMED.
About nightfall Gen. Burbridge re-
ceived a dispatch by way of Lexington
from Gen. Hobson at Cynthiana, dated
the same day, June II, stating that he
was surrounded by n strong force of the
enemy and would be unable to hold out
much longer. Gen. Morgan, learning that
Gen. Hobson was at Cynthiana. had has
tened northward from Paris with his main
force. leaving his detachments to keep up
Il show of attack against Frankfort and
Georgetown. He arrived at daylight oil
the morning of June IL and mt once Ell
gagged Gen. Hobson's force. The gaIri
consisted of the 16Sth Ohio National
Guard, which had just been reinforced
by the arrival of Gen. Hobson with the
1T1st Ohio National Guard, commanded
by Col. Asper, and 80 men of the 4Ith
Ky. and a few convalescents of the 52d
Ky.
With his superior force of veteran
troops Gen. Morgan made such headway
tl,at the town garrison was forced TO sur
render. and some hours later Gen. Hob
son and the entire force surrendered. Gen.
Morgan was HOW simply overloaded with
prisoners. He knew full well that his
fighting had really just begun. and that
he could not afford to be encountered with
prisoners almost equal III number to his
own force. Gen. HobsOn and seven other
officers were paroled for the purpose of
securing their exchange by application TO
the United States authorities. agreeing to
report to Gen. Morgan if the exchange
