Mrs Albert Brame. expressed her preference for blue: and then told of seeing near her old home in Lowndes County clumps of flowers so intensely blue that she could. only describe them as ''the bluest of the blue; the plants were bordering the rude board fence around a negro cabin. Mrs. Frame in- voluntarily exclaimed. how beautiful !! Where did they come from? the old negro replied: Why Missis. dem am the bluein plant. herd they was some growth down on the Dallas line of this county and I truged many a mile after dem: they made me think of the good old times when old Mas sa planted them to sell."s
 Mrs. Brame describes the growth of the plant as like that of the alfalfa. and that each upright stem was crown ed with flowers so blue that the whole cluster formed "a thing of beauty"
 Mrs. Emily Semple confirms the statement of that aged negro. She says that when her grandfather, Gen. eral John Scott. moved to Alabama in ISIS his wife. her grandmother. brought some indigo plants that had been given her by Mrs. Greene. the wife of General Nathaniel Greene, Mrs. zolAN&ha4 had hFnnRht them to the colony from the tropics.

TEN LARGE ENGINES
ARRIVE AT AMARILLO,

Railroad men report the arrival of
ten monstrous engines at the round
house at Amarillo, and tell great sto-
ries of their strength and prowess.
They are of the ten and eleven hun
dred class and arg rated at sixteen
hundred ton capacity. The little old
engines formerly hauled about fifteen
cars of stock or 35 empties. The other
day a local railroad man saw one of
the big engines pulling % cars of
stock, "a empty box cars and four
loaded box cars. Another man saw
one of the big engines pulling 81 emp
ty cars, and it is predicted that they
will haul 100 empties when placed
in good running shape. One hundred
cars make a train three-fourth of a
mile in length. The use of the big en-
gines is made possible by laying of
heavy rails between Amarillo and
Woodward and to Clovis. They can
not yet enter the Pecos Valley.

here terrified the inhabitants of the
