cabin in the cove. Life there for the
young people was one of perfect happi-
ness Each loved the mountains and
the valleys, and each loved nature
and on the mountain top they en-
jOyed it in all its moods.
One morning, just when summer was
changing into fall, and all nature was
clothed in crimson and gold, DR.. John
and his wife started for walk a mile
away to point where a splendid view
OF the valley could be had. Arriving
at the spot, they we're enjoying tho
grandeur of the mountain peaks beyond
the valley, when the young wife's at
tention was attracted to cluster of au-
tumn leaves hanging over the preci-
pice. She reached forth her hand to
gather it. A treacherous stone slipped
beneath her feet and she fell headlong
a hundred feet to the cruel stones be-
low.
When DR.. John reached her side he
found her crushed and bleeding and
dying! She only lived few minutes,
but in that time she told again the story
of her love for her handsome young
husband, and with her lips to his her
pure young soul went into the Great
Beyond.
DIR. John was a changed man after
that fateful day. His ambition to be a
great physician-his very life-was
crushed. He would never go back to
New Orleans, but would make his home
in the mountains far from the haunts
OF men. just at the foot OF the preci.
pice where his wife met her death he
dug little grave, and in it he placed
the body Of the woman he loved as few
men love. Not far away he built a
cabin, and there he is spending his life,
away from the world, aud ever near Luz
cile. True, DR.. John lives alone with
his books and guns and dogs, yet be is
not hermit Many a stranger finds
his way to the little cabin, and he al
ways receives kindly welcome from
the dignifed old gentleman whose hair
has grown as white as snow.
The humble mountain people idolize
DR.. John. They know that the summer
sun never shines too hot nor does the
winter snow get too deep to prevent the
good doctor from coming to their homes
when death hovers near lie has
smoothed the patti way OF many dying
mountaineer whose life had not beer
just what it should. He has never ask

Another Curiosity in Corn.

Chas. Byrd has left on exhibition at
this Office another curiosity in corn
from the company's fields. The FIRST as
our readers will remember, was a corn
stalk brought US by j, w. Robertson
with seven distinct ears OF corn on IT,
This new prodigy is a shuck containing
sixteen distinct ears. or rather seven
tcen since one was broken of in open
ing the shuck. Tho centre ear is quite
large, while the others in different siz-
es or shapes are pendant around it,
some ears hanging one from the other
by a slight stem. The corn is Of good
quality and most OF the ears are filled
with kernals OF good size. Wonder
what next will be brought from the
company's fields.

lEgC bf rHos. II. CLARKE,
lS99 In Nashville Banner.

Years ago, long before Monteagle be.
came famous as a summer resort, there
came to Sewanee a young married coup
le from New Orleans. The gentleman
was a member of one of the wealthiest
and most aristocratic families of Louisi.
ana-a family that had made a name
for itself both in the halls of legislation
and on the battlefield. He had lust
completed his medical education in
Germany, and was looked upon as one
of the most promising physicians in the
South. His wife was the only child of
a sugar planter French blood coursed
through her veins, and she, too, had
been educated abroad, and all that rich
es and proud lineage could give had
been showered upon her. She repre-
sented the truest type OF Southern beau
ty. She possessed figure that was per-
feet in is grace and symetry, and from
1t sculptor could have fashioned a We
nus. Her hair was long and thick and
as black as Jet and her omplexion was
of that rich rare type that can be found
nowhere save under Southern skies.
The two had been sweethearts since
childhood, and when the wedding day
came there were none to say them nay.
1t was a true lovers marriage, their
friends all said, and no happier couple
ever started forth on a honeymoon than
they. They had seen pretty much all
that was worth seeing, both in the old
world and in the new. They wanted
to be to themselves during the first
weeks of their welded life-they want
ed to be away from the bustling
crowds of fashionable resorts-and
sought the mountains of Tennessee.
They remained a few days at Sewanee
and then went further up on the noun
tain near where Monteagle is now loca-
ted. Down in picturesque little cove
they discovered mountaineer's cabin.
The house was built of logs and its oc-
cupants were ignorant, kindly people.
The place had quiet, peaceful, home
like appearance. The young doctor
DIR. John, we will call him, opened ne
gotiations with the mOuntaineer, with
the result that he and his pretty young
wife were soon dOmiciled in the little

ed for pay for his services. He never
expects any, and would not take it we're
II offered.
Only twice year does DIR. John leave
his mountain home. and on these occas-
ions be goes either to COwan or Dech-
erd, where he purchases household sup
plies, books and ammunition. Never a
day passes winter or summer but he
goes to the little grave at the foot OF
the precipice. HIS goes there just at
sundown, and there he remains for an
hour, his white head bowed above the
little mound. Every day he places
some wildwood remembrance on the
grave-in summer bunch Of mountain
flowers; in winter bit OF hardy vine.
DIR. John is an accomplished viOlinist,
and travellers down the mountain side
often stop, held spellbound by the mar
velous melody that floats from the lit
tie cabin. The Doctor has brought the
sounds OF the mountain and valley into
a beautiful melody. He has woven in
to the strings of his violin the gentle
soughing of the south wind in the tree
tops, and then again his instrument de-
scribes a storm on the mountain top
the shrek and howl Of the wind, the
crashing OF giant trees and the rush
down the mountain side OF huge bould-
ers torn from their fastenings by the
fury of the elements. Then the Doc
tors mood changes, and the bark OF a
fox, the hiss OF a snake, the grOwl OF a
catamount the plaintive call of night
bird or the chirp of a cricket can be
! heard.
Should you pass the cabin Of DR.. John
late at night and hear the strains of an
old love song, you will know that the
thoughts of the old man are with Luz
cile who sleeps in the little grave al
the foot of the precipice-and that he
must not be disturbed.

will Not Take Passengers.

Orders have been issued by the n c.
& St L. Ry prohibiting sale of tickets
for the special freight just put on, and
consequently the people OF the valley
are declared from what promised to be
a great public convenience. 1t would
seem that the railroad company had a
prejudice against hauling passengers
to the north of stations on this branch
and consequently their traffic suffers.

us that some such means of identifying

inclosure and facilities for the watering
of the graves during the summer sea-
son.
There are now one hundred and ten

Memorial Day was very appropri-
ately observed here. Many of the
graves OF departed ones were beauti-
fully decorated with native and Califor-

by II. j. Harmon, In honor OF the
Grand Army. rendered the occasion
very pathetic. One noticeable ana re-
gretahle feature about the cemetery,
and one which should receive the inn
mediate attention OF all those who have
friends or relatives buried there, is that
many OF the graves have nothing but
the mound OF earth to mark their iden-
tity. Where head boards with the in
scription OF common paint on them
we're once, there now remains but the
bare board, all trace OF the inscription

TRANS-NEvADA RAILROAD GER
TAIN TO BE BUILT.
VIII Surely Gross This County
Between Ely and Cherry Creek
In the Near Future.

The outlook seems to be exceedingly
favorable for another railroad through
the central part OF Nevads, in fact, the
proposed route has been gone over by
the railroad surveyors and mapped out
says the Salt Lake Tribune. The road
will start from Salt Lake City across
the deseret TO Deep Creek. thence to
Cherry Creek In White Pine county,
then across Newark valley TO Eureka,
thence to Austin, then to San Springs
in Churchill county, cross the Central
Pacific near Wads worth, and then
through Beckwith Pass, making
more direct aud shorter line than the
Central Pacific. In speaking OF the
new road, which is known as the West
ern Pacific, Attorney Barnett said:
"The building of the road Is now an
assured and absolute certainty. Con-
struction will be rapidly pushed and
the road will be completed from Salt
L. Ike to the coast as expediently as pos.
| sible.
1.-THE rumor that the Western Paci-
fc is interested In the construction oil
the Midland Pacific from Bakersfield
TO the ocean Is q matter will neither
| affirm or deny"
II has been rumored that George
Gould is back OF the Western Pzc.fic
project. but Mr.. Barnett would not dis
cuss this matter. The new road was
denied an ocean terminus in San Fran.
cisco at the last session OF the Califor-
MIA legislature for the reason that little
was divulged regarding its plans, 1t 10
stated, however. that renewed Efforts
to secure a terminal in that city will be
| made, 1t is further said that the West
ern Pacific is endeavoring to secure the
Sacra amento fair grounds for railroad
yards.
The Winuemncca Standard OF the
29th, ult., has the following to say con.
cerning the arrival of party OF eur
yeyors at that place: Charles s. Rog-
ers Is the chief OF the railroad survey
ing party which has established head.
Quarters here and now consists OF Tour
teen men. Their tents, six In number,
are pitched at Rask's corrals, In the
western part OF town, and they doubt
less intend to remain some time.
None OF the men Of the party viii di'
vulge ANYTHING of their mission, and
probably few OF them are acquainted
with the details of the plans they are
to carry out. Nevertheless 1t Is certain
they are here to make surveys for the
proposed Western Pacific line from
Salt Lake to San Francisco. Whether
this is only a bluff to make the South
ern Pacific come to time. or whether II
is really the intention OF the Western
Pacific people to build through or neal
winnemucca is something for the fu
ture and the knowing guessers to de
termine. -
A large amount Of supplies has beer
purchased for the surveying party ant
horses and wagons are being negotiatet
for. Everything indicates al activ'
railroad surveying campaign on thu
desert to the wess,S but the full signifi
cance and importance OF the operation
