MAKE PENCILS OF CHURCH.
Tennessee Landmark Will Be Dis

The high prices paid for cedar tim
Der in Marshall county have led to the
dismantling OF one of the landmarks of
Tennessee, near Nashville, Round Hill
Presbyterian church, and the sale Of the
logs to pencil factory.
Heretofore fences, outhouses and
barns have been sacrificed to the needs
of the pencil makers, but this is the first
noteworthy building that has been sent
to the sawmill. s.sA5 = e.}
The Round Hill church was erected
somewhere between 1920 and 1925, being
branch Of Bethbirei or Rock Creek
church, as it was then called. Father
Hall was the founder and pastor Of both
churches in the early days of their his
tory, continuing as pastor until there
came split between the old school and
the new school members of the congre-

The old school faction held Round Hill
church. finally selling it to negro con-
gregation. The tempting offers of the
factory buyers for the fine, well pre-
served, logs of which the church was
built moved the negroes to sell, a very
considerable sum being realized, which
was invested in white church building
of later construction.

THE boy, followed by his dog, swung
down the clover-fringed path,
under the tangled branches of the trees.
He was barefoot, and his arms and legs
and face were brown as an Indians.
In the air was the lazy drone Of bees.
Small, fleecy clouds foated overhead,
their shadows scudding across the hills
and the river like ebony-winged birds.
The ripples of the stream kept singing
to the grasses overhanging Every
wlere was the perfume of the wild rose.
At the ford the dog dashed into the
stream, tapping the water and splashing
1t into circling eddies that chased each
other across the placid bosom.
The boy paused at the brink and pick
ing up fiat rock sent it skipping across
the water, far down the stream. This he
followed with another and another and
yet another. Above him, at the bend OF
the river, dozen cattle stood in the

SAVES BONES OF CHINESE
San Francisco Celestial Makes Living
by Removal of Remains
E@ to Far Cathay.

Lee Chung, of San Francisco. makes
good living by peculiar employment.
Some years ago he entered into contract
with the Six Companies to exhume the
bones of all Cinnamon who had died in
this country. The Six Companies found
that it was hard to induce Cinnamon to
come here unless it was stipulated that
in case of death their bones should be
finally buried in China.
So they engaged the service of Mr..
Chung as their agent in the carrying out
of this agreement. He keeps track of the
remains Of all the clients of the Six Com
panies that have died and sees to it that
they are carefully boxed up and sent
back to China.
His duties take him to all parts Of
the country and he has subagents in all
the large cities where Cinnamon have
settled.
His contract makes it incumbent upon
him to prevent the bones from being
mixed. They are separately packed in
white muslin bags, and no bone must be
broken or sawed. Each set of bones Is
labeled and carefully recorded in the
Six Companies Office, when and where
buried, when exhumed, when shipped to
China, and the account finally closed
with the receipt for the bones from the
dead mans relatives.
