BORN ON PASSENGER TRAIN.
Bias Never Been Able to Discover
His Parents

Nashville American: Tunnel Jim.
who is well known by all old rail
readers on the Nashville. and Chatta-
nOoga q st. Louis Railway from one
end of the lie TO the other, was a
visitor at the headquarters of the com
pany yesterday.
This well known character. who goes
by the surname of Howard. has a very
unusual history. He was born in a
passenger coach on the Nashville, Chat
tanooga Il St. Louis Railway about
this time of the year in 1855. The
train TO which the coach was attached
was then known as No. 3. 1t left
Nashville every morning at O'Clock
and arrived in Chattanooga that night
at O'Clock. This was fast schedule
at that time. freight trains occupying
two days in making the run. No
trains were run at night, and the
freights laid over all night at Decherd
or Cowan.
Tunnel Jim was born just after the
train left COwan. Who his mother
was or where she came from or was
going, nobody has ever been able to
ascertain. At any rate wnen the train
was passing through the tunnel Just
south of Cowan the mother gently
dropped the newly born infant out of
the car window into the tunnel. For
he fell just where one of the
air shafts comes down in the side of
the tunnel, where leaves had blown
and washed down and made soft bed,
and was unhurt.
A man by the name of Howard, who
hen examined the tunnel before and
after each train to see that no rocks
all ON the track, as is still done,
iound the infant and adopted him. He
vas given the name of Tunnel Jim,
md still goes by that name.
Diligent inquiry has been made in
III directions to discover his parents,
,ut all efforts have been complete
allure.

family of four brothers, all of whom came to be Baptist preachers, he being the elder. The others were John. David and Joe. The last-named two are dead, David having passed away last winter and Joe some years ago. It is not saying anything to the discredit of the other brothers to say that Isaac lowered far above them all in point of education and ministerial ability.
 The death of Ed. Isaac Stand slee removes a remarkable char acter from our midst, and those who believe in an eternal reward cannot doubt that his portion in the great beyond is that joy that was prepared for the saints from the foundation of the world.

The thirty-fourth annual session of the Missionary Baptist Association of Carroll county which met at Blue Eye, Mo, last week was quite well attended, considering the very unfavorable weather.

 During the associational year the sum of S2945 had been raised for building purposes and S1646.45 expended for pastors salary; $40 for the various mis- sions, and Orphans Home, and S98 for other purposes, making total sum expended for the year of S4929. 45.

LOW RATES NOWIN EFFECT.
Big Inducetnent to HomeSeekers
 to See the Great Southwest.

Big InduCement to HomeSeekerS
 to See the Great Southwest.
 The scheme of General Pas senger Agent Bryan Snyder to colonize the southwest has been worked out, and as a result, one-way half-rate of regular fare plus S2.00 has gone into effect in a very large section of the United States.
 Among the roads included in the movement besides the great Frisco system may be mentioned the M. K. & T., the K. c. s., St. l.. 1. M. & s., St. L. & s. w., T. & P. and s. P. In fact. it may be said that practically all of the roads leading into the great southwest have joined in.
 The objectis to fill this south western country up with home- seekers from the less favored sections of the United States, and there can be no doubt Of it's fruitfulness, for there is no ques- tion but what the southwest offers one of the most inviting fields both to the home seeker and in- vestor that is to be found. It is the newest old country in the world, and only fair representa- tion of conditions as they exist here is necessary to head people of other portions of the union, who desire to better their condi- tions, this way. That these rail- road companies will leave nothing unturned in the way of advertis ing goes without saying, and that we are to have a great influx of immigration in this part of Ark ansas there can be no doubt.
 These low rate tickets will be offered until April 21, 1903, and will be placed upon sale at nearly all stations of these companies and connecting railways twice each month between now and that time.
 The announcement of these low rates means more to this country than anything that has ever be- fore happened in railroad circles. There has been a constant stream of immigrants from the south and east to the west and northwest for many years, which has been cul- tivated mainly through railroad channels. Thousands of people have by this means been in- duced to leave this country on account of the glittering oppor- tunities held out to them largely through advertisements gotten up by railroad companies, and but few, comparatively speaking, have profited by the change. A large per cent have found their way back and many others would be glad enough to come.
 THE TRIBUNE confidently ex- poets a large number of home- seekers in this section as 8 re- suit of this southwestern coloni- zation movement; people who will appreciate the golden oppor- tunities of this rich, yet largely undeveloped country.
 Let them come.

Mai. E1iott's Orchard Talk.

Maj. s. G. Elliott, who has re- gently written a great many good things about orchards in this country, contributes the follow ing:
 1 have urged the people of North Arkansas and Southwest Missouri to plant commercial or chards. Those who have done so are reaping theirreward. App pie harvest is at hand again, and orchardists are selling their crops on trees at good round prices.
 A good many planted orchards last spring, and if they have taken care of them have done well, for the season has been good for newly planted orchards. But the time for fall plantings is near at hand. The present in- dications seem very favorable for fall planting.
 Whether you plant this fall or in the spring, tbe ground should be thoroughly and deeply plowed this fall; it will retain moisture better than spring blowing. For commercial orchard don't plant more than three or four varieties principally Ben Davis. Plant about thirty feet apart. Don't plant peach trees between the apple rows. The apple or peach each is worth the full ground. l prefer good yearling trees to any other.
 When you set out, lean the trees about l 1-2 inches toward the southwest, for the pushing southwest winds will straighten 1t up before it is grown.
 Head your trees loW-apple trees not more than 2 1-2 or 3 feet, and the peach about IS in ches. The advantages of low heading are:
 1st. The top always protects the trunk of the tree from the scalding hot summer sun. (ln many old orchards you will mo- tice d great many trees killed on the southwest side
 End. A tree headed low down does not suffer so with the winds.
 3rd. It is a great deal more convenient to gather the fruit, either apples or peaches.
 Get your trees at the nearest reliable nursery. Home grown trees are the best, and often the cheapest, as the best are always the cheapest.
 Now, if you plant an orchard do it well and take good care of it and you will succeed. There is no better place than North Arkansas. I don't think it is any better for apples than South west Missouri; but it is better, in that it is more certain, for the peach.
