day and robbers. gruff railroad officials
and every class OF agent, even down
to the policeman. came within the
range of their experiences. Smith will
have every reason to remember Padu-

not forget Smith. The family
"camped out on the front porch of
Nashville. Chattanooga and ST.
Lonis official. converted the shed OF
the Aycock Hosiery mill into a tenn
porary stable, and tried to ship a
horse and farm wagon over the rail
road in passenger train. The rail-
road was preferable to steamboat
travel because the latter offered too
many opportunities for pi'fedng. in
fact Smith declared that an attempt
was made to rob him on the Paducah
wharf.
Patro,man Henry Singery was
standing n BAR the ~. c. q St. L. de-
pot when the Smiths drove up in a
one-horse wagon. They thought he
was a railroad conductor and asked q
they could ship their horse and wagon
to wi,dersield. Tenn. on the passen-
ger train. They were sent to Frank
Adams. the ticket agent. When Sing
cry noticed the yokel again he was
trying to climb through the small
wicker window to get at the agent.
Finally Smith was made to under
stand that he had gone to the wrong
place, and was directed to the resi-
dence of Agent E. S. Burnham, a
short distance away. Nj. Blrnham
was eating dinner and had no time to
talk business, so the family was
forced to wait The front porch pre-
sented such an excellent appearance
that II was converted into a dining
table by the Smiths and ham. pies,
chicken and many other edib,es were
brought to light. When the meal
was finished Mr.. Burnham's front
yard looked Ike a bone yard. The
horse had been left in front OF the
house and when the party started to
go, one of the boys led the horse down
the pavement to the Aycock Knitting
mill. A wooden porch projects over
the pavement and this was used to
shelter the horse When the rain
came up il proved the best place they
could secure for supper and they
again spread their lunch and dined.
They declared that an attempt had
been made to rob them on the wharf
boat and they decided the railroad
would be the safest means of trans
portation. The family left yesterday
but the horse and wagon remain in
Paducah totally abandoned.

Captain Bewley, of the Dick Fow-

captains. and which would be great
accommodation to the river travelling

invariably leaves passengers and
freight, which might be carried by
waiting a few minutes over schedule
time. This morning two wagon loads
of groceries were standing within

the boat pulled out without waiting
to take on ihe freight. The Dick
Fowler is at the wharf all night so
that there is little excuse for being
tardy delivering freight TO it. Saun-

The value of the Ohio as highway
