just a few lines from this place as
our correspondence attending dancing
school and has not time to write.
Everything in Searles is moving
along nicely and the output at the
mines is about /, 300 tons daily. These
are said to be about the best mines in
the state. Beginning with Nov. /,
1905, and ending Oct. 81, 1906, the
lowest number of days run was seven
teen and three months during the year
they ran full twenty-five days. The
average number of days run is exactly
2asfor the entire year.
l notice great many people write
to the News saying they are glad the
strike came up and made them leave
Whitwel for they are doing so much
better than they ever did at Whitwell.
Work in Alabama is good and wages
fair. The Alabama Consolidated is
one of the good companys to work for.
There is no strife between employer
and employee. People here never
know when the mine committee is out
on business except by chance and there
is never any threats of strike or lock
out.

IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE OF NEWTON
BUST, BORN APRIL 2I, 1884. DIED
NOV 9, 1906.

Fast as moons wax and wane sorrow
comes. Newton Rust, who but few
days ago walked beneath the sun
beams of youths cloudless morning on
the eve of vigorous manhood, with the
hope of ambition and the joys of affec-
tion fresh about him, has been with
drawn from the hand of love and
stretched out in immovable coldness.
His death occurred at 6 O'Clock. 1t
was apparently calm and easy. With
faint gasp he ceased to breathe, but
none could realize he was dead. Ten
derly was he robed with the garments
that love dictates and all the time up
to the hour of the funeral small groups
of friends came and went and gazed on
him for the last time. The funeral
was conducted by Brother Walden.
At the grave the scene was heart
rending. AS the clods fell upon the
coffin and buried that tabernacle of
flesh from sight, strong hearts bowed
their heads in uncomfortable grief, and
not until the last had been performed
were they ready to depart, and ever
since in quiet and subdued voices, his
death has been topic of conversation.
The grief of the parents and broth
ers and sisters called forth the tender
est compassion. No words of consola-
tion now can be rendered them that
will give relief. Only Time, the repu-
ted healer of all human woes, can
deaden the pain, the agony, the heart.
breaking sorrow which now possesses
their souls.
l. who write this tribute of love and
respect of our decesed friend, feel in
adequate to do justice to the subject
and mourn for the want of talent, gen
ius and ability to paint faint like
ness of his character and portray ma
ture so grand. Let us not say grand
nature, rather a sweet familiar nature
stealing in as child to pluck YOU
garments and humbly remind you so O
its presence and affection, impassioneC
for its beauty and salt of truth. Al
though he had only lived % years ant
died young he leaves behind him 1
monument of virtue that the storm o
time cannot destroy. Through kind
ness, love and mercy he has written hi
name on the hearts of hundreds HI
came in contact with year by year
that will never be forgotten, and al
feel with keen regret the hidden bit
terness of the words, 'never again il
this life will his hand take ours in it
warm clasp, heart respond to heart
, His soul has finished its course, ha
fought the fight and kept It's faitn
! Henceforth it wears the crown of i'm
mortality. In the cry of anguish fror
the grief stricken mother as the poo
mortal frame was lowered out of sigh
to its last resting place, was Fare

Chattanooga Times

Chattanooga Times:
Much has been written and more
talked of the scheme of Charles III.
Fisk to build an electric railroad from
Chattanooga to Nashville.
The ability of Mr.. Fisk. as promo
ter has not been questioned. The feas-
ibility of his scheme has been much
discussed and by some doubted.
Regardless of the merits of the un-
dertaking, it is at any rate known that
there is something doing toward loca-
ting the route, financing a company
and purchasing gigantic power plant
from which to derive motive power.
A letter received in this city yester-
day from Thomas S. Weaver, of Nash
vile, formerly clerk and master in
chancery there, contains details Of Mr.
Fisk's plans not hitherto published. 1t
is learned that among those associated
with Mr.. Fisk are Mr.. Newcomb, of
Detroit and Mr.. Post of Postum
fame. The letter, among other things,
contains the following information:
ST have learned that the men behind
the railroad project in question are
Mr.. Charfes H. Fisk, and a Mr.. New
comb, of Detroit, and Mr.. Post Of
Postum Cereal fame, and that the
power to be used is that of the Great
Falls Power company at McMinnville.
have met Mr. Fisk, who seems to
have some promises of Pittsburg par
ties as to the financing of the scheme
The cost as estimated would be 81, 900,
600 or IS, 900, 900.
''The Pittsburg parties have, | an
informed, made an offer for the Grea
Falls property. confess was quit
favorably impressed with Mr.. Fisk
He is now in Pittsburg whittier hi
went to confer with, or negotiate will
the bankers in question as to a sale o
the Great Falls property and also t.
get further data to be used by him il
determining the cost of carriage o
freight from Chattanooga to Nashvill
and vice versa.
He claims that he can give tw
hours quicker service and would expec
to divide the heavy freight bushes
between the Nashville, Chattanoog
and ST. Louis railway.
Survey has been made from Nc
Minnville to Chattanooga and the SUI
veying party has reached Old Jefferso
(some miles above Smyrna) on thei
way to Nashville. "
This scheme is the one which depend
to great extent upon the erection c
o second bridge across the Tennessee
river at this place. An English syr
dicate has been laying plans for sue
a Structure for several months. RI
Gently nothing has been given to til
public indicative of the progress of til
bridge matter Mr.. Fisk has been COZ
nected with this latter project sine

day now, with fine weather for the
operation.
Mr.. J. F. Flournoy recently had the
misfortune to get his leg fOuled with
the wire rope that hauls logs up to
the saw mill in his mill. Fortunately
the machinery was stopped in time
to save his leg, which suffered a
severe wrench. causing him much
pain. The mill has been idle since
the accident, as he prefers to run the
saw himself.
Mr.. A. d. Brownell, who has been
critically ill for some time, left for
Mobile Sunday night, accompanied by
her husband, where she will enter a
sanitarium and undergo surgical
operation. Later advices indicate
that the operation has been performed
and she is in very critical condition.
Numerous friends of the family deep
ly sympathize with them in their sad
hour, and earnestly hope that Mrs
Brownell will be restored to her usual
good health.
