commonly called by the public, which

connections He was lOllinR lazily over
his desk with a copy Of the local pa
per before him and the stem Of dis
reputable cob pipe between his teeth.
The business OF the day was done,
and the noise and hurry attending Its
| doing had given way 10 II sudden hush.
Other sounds than those that had filled
the ear since morning grew out OF the
stiffness. Big drops Of rain driven by
the wind splashed softly against the
| implanted pine door which led into the
corrugated tin roof overhead No. Z,
due at $40, had Just pulled out with
| twenty minutes to make up between
Antioch and Harrison, the western

whistle had blown, and the men from
the car shops. dlngy, one story build
ing that joined the general offices on
the east, were struggling off home.
Across the tracks at the ugly little de
pot the ticket agent and telegraph OPP
erator had locked up and hurried away
under one umbrella the moment No. 7
was clear OF the platform. From the
yards every one was gone but Milton
McCllntock, the master mechanic, and
Dutch Pete, the yard boss. Protected
by dripping yellow oilskins, they were
busy repairing a wheezy switch engine
that had been lncontlnently backed in
10 n siding and the caboose OF freight.
Oakley was waiting the return OF
Clarence the Office boy, whom he had
sent uptown TO the postoffice. Having
read the two columns of local and per
sonal gossip arranged under the head
ing people You Know" he swept his
newspaper into the wastebasket and
pushed back his chair. The window
nearest his desk overlooked the yards
and long line OF shabby day coaches
and battered freight cars on one OF the
sldings. They were there 10 be rebuilt
or repaired. This meant new lease
OF life to the shops, which had never
proved profitable.
Oakley had been with the Huckle-
berry two months. The first intlmation
the Office force received that the new
man whom they bad been expecting
for over a week had arrived In Antioch
and was prepared to take hold was
when he walked into the office and
quietly introduced himself to Kerr and
Holt. Former general managers had
arrived by special after much prellmi-
nary wiring. The manner OF their GO
ing had been less spectacular They
one and all failed. and General Cor
nlsh cut short the days OF their pride
and display.
Naturally the office had been the
least bit skeptical concerning Oakley
and his capabilities. but within week

4 LOVE TALE.

1t Is said 1.-THE course of true love
never rum smooth. The Maxwell
subject recalls the story Of Mr.. Pres
ley Maxwell's grandmother, Mrs.
Isabella Adamson, mother of Warner
Adamson, who lived and died one
mile this side of Order Station.
Alexander and Isabella Adamson
were married in Anstrothcr. Scot
land in the year of 1910. For a
bridal tour these young people about
twenty-five and twenty years of age
respectively, started for Western
Kentucky. For three long weary
months they rode the Atlantic waves
and landed in New York. The
journey from New York to Pittsburg
was made overland and in a road
wagon. Their earthly possessions
were carried with them. Arriving
in Pittsburg they bought a canoe
and once more took the water route.
The journey down the Ohio was
made mostly at night to escape death
at the hands OF wild savages. The
canoe was hauled ashore IN the day
time, meals were prepared and what
rest they found was during the day.
They stopped at very small trading
post to make some purchases. This
was Louisville. In passing the falls
the men walked on the shore to
Tighten the load and the young bride,
Isabella, went down the fall, alone.
a final landing was effected at Fords
Ferry and the young man and his
young bride walked to the place
where they settled and carried their
goods and chattels. They went out
the Flynns Ferry road past the pres
ent site of Fredonia and stopped at
what is known today as the Warner
Adamson place. This man, Alex
ander Adamson, was stone mason.
The ruins of the stone houses he
built can be seen today on the John
Henry Turley place near the knobs.
One of his stone chimneys still
stands in Crittenden county and is
used every day. 1t is at the Crayne
place, the first house this side of
Piney Creek Baptist church, and

BITS OF BYPLAY.
AN ELkHORN TALE

Mr.. Presley 5. Maxwell lives in
Marion, Ky. If an historian should
attempt to chronicle the events Of
the early settlers in western Ken
lucky the family of Maxwell with its
connections would ertainly occupy a
space in his history. Doctor 5.
Weir Mitchell a world renowned
author wrote The annals of a quiet
neighborhood;' but western Ken
tucky's historian could not so label
his record the events of 100 years
ago were anything but quiet.
About two years before the death
of George Washington and some
time IN the year 1897 young hunter
and frontiersman, of western Ken
lucky, shouldered a long rife and
strobe forth after meat. ArmOnr's
sweet sugar cured and well canvased
bacon was undreamed of and the only
meat eaten in western Kentucky
homes at that day was wild meat.
The name of this particular young
hunter was Robert Smith the great
grand father of our townsman Mr.
p. 5. Maxwell.
On stephen hill which is about
two or three miles this side of Prince
ton, Kentucky, he shot and killed
an enormous elk. His horns meas
ured six feet from tip to tip. The
elk was killed for his meat but he
was such fine specimen and his
antlers so large that Mr.. Smith pre-
served them He lived at the forks
OF the road just above the large two
story brick house now occupied by
Mr.. johnson Order at the station
known as Crider, Ky. These elk
horns preserved by him were put on
a post at the horse-mill and used as
a hitch rack. They were removed
from there and placed on the sign

Fred Binkley, who has been sick
for the past three months, was
brought to his sisters, Mrs. Harris
Austin, and was carried to his faith
er's, Thomas Binkley, at Pinckney-
vile. Fred seems in a fair way to
soon to be hustling again.
There has been lot of corn plant

many farmers are waiting for winter
to break before they plant.
Thomas Binkley and daughter,
Miss Sallie, of Pinckneyville, were
the guests of Harris Austin and

We called on our old friend, Ben
Garrett, last week and took look at
his orchard. Mr.. Garnett has one of
the largest orchards in Crlttenden,
county. He has between fifteen
hundred and two thousend bearing
trees, and has added this Spring
fifteen hundred more trees to his
already big orchard. Ben means

Mrs. Dora Tabor, of Hardesty, is

Wheat prospects have somewhat

Our road overseer has been putting
