Col George M Dugan

An important and interestin.
announcement is made by the
Illinois Central. @. II. Groce is to
be superintendent of telegraph for
the entire system, including the
Yazoo d Mississippi Valley road.
&. M. Dugan, formerly holding this
important position is appointed as
sistant general superintendent of
telegraph. Mr.. Dugan is 81 years
of age and desired less active rail
road service.
This announcement is invested
with a local interest because Of the
fact that Mr.. Dugan is a native of
West Tennessee and is we'll known
throughout this section Of the
State. He was born in Bolivar,
but left there when a Young man to
learn telegraphy, after which he
did service at various stations on
the Southern lines of the Illinois
Central. Twenty years ago he was
stationed at Jackson, Tenn, as
superintendent Of telegraph of
Southern lines of the Illinois Cen
trail, which position he filled with
such eminent satisfaction as to win
promotion to the higher title of
general superintendent of telegraph
of the entire Illinois Central system
with headquarters in Chicago.
Col. Dugan will be pleasantly
remembered by the older citizens of
Memphis as one of the early tele-
graph operators in the city. Col.
Dugan was connected with the
Western Union in this city for
years, having been employed in the
Memphis Office when there was but
one wire into the city. At the
outbreak of the civil war Col. Du-
gan rendered heroic service as an
operator, being stationed at differ.
ent points throughout this section.
He talks interestingly of early times
in Memphis and treasures with
especial fondness recollections OF
his career in the Bluff City when
the telegraph business of the then
town was sent and received ove a
single wire. In those days Thorn
as A. Eds On, the wizard, was in
dulging dreams of the duplex and
the quadruplex, and his co-workers
were predicting his finish in a luna
tic asy lum for bothering his brain
with the attainment of the impossi'
BILE.
For the past fifteen years Col
Dugau's headquarters has been il
Chicago, but his official duties re-
CURED him to spend most of hi:
time on the road, Memphis being
an important place in his territory.

RELIGIOUS CENSUS

The committee appointed by the
several Sabbath Schools of Bolivar
to take a religious census of the
town, completed its work last week.
The members of this committee
deserve praise for their labor, since
it was done in a disagreeable, driz-
zl1ng rain, which continued most of
the day.
Below is given a table showing
the results of their work. This
table is not complete, as there were
one or two families which could
not be reached at the time, but
with this exception the report is re-
