CEDAR LAND OF MUCH VALUE
Tract in Tennessee Where the Wood
Is Cultivated Solely for Use
in Pencil Industry.

Down in my state there is a patch
of territory about Is miles square,
near the town where the battle of
Franklin was fought during the civil
war, which is practically the only sec
ton in the United States where cedar
is grown for no other purpose than
to furnish stock for the lead pencil
industry" said Thomas Green OF
Nashville.
I'm that section cedar trees seem to
spring spontaneously from the soil,
and the peculiar thing about it Is that
they do not grow in any other section
Of the state to amount to anything.
These forests give employment to
many wood choppers and planning mill
workers, who prepare the cedar for
shipment to lead pencil factories in
the eastern states and to Europe. II
IAN immense amount of the wood is
cut, planned, sawed and shipped out OF
the town Of Murfreesborn, Tenn,
every year. There have been many
fortunes made in that section out Of
cedar. Cedar trees there are cult
waited as is any other crop. The
groves, conserved as they are now by
the wise owners, will last forever and
will be furnishing the close-grained,
fine-fibered wood for pencils a century
from now-'-Washington Post.

her. His tread was cat-like. Tragedy
was written upon his c~ountenance. He
had got almost within reach Of her
when she paused at a door and, with
out knocking, turned the knob. In an
instant he had gripped her arm. On
the door was printed the name of the
man to whom she had been engaged

her.
AS she turned and looked into his
face a terrible fear fell upon her. She
tried to cry out, but could utter no
