Peter Cooper's Locomotive.

The first attempt TO use engines in
the United States for any other than ex-
perimental purposes was in 1929. by the
Hudson and Delaware Canal company,
from Carbondale to H0nesdale, Pa, Il
distance of sixteen miles. The engines
were made i'll England. In the follow
ing year Peter Cooper built the first To-
connective in the United States. 1t
weighed less than Il ton: its boiler was
about the size of a -four barrel. and its
tlues were made of gun barrels. Mr.
Cooper was highly elated because his
engine made better time than the horses
of other ailroads.-Canadian Magazine.

CORRECTS BIT OF HISTORY.
Neither CORVALLIS Nor Washington Took
Part in Surrender

History as told by the old to the young
is very often stranger than fiction, espe-
cially when family annals and traditions
are the sources of the narrative, says
the Boston Transcript. Here is a vener-
able southerner who is narratIng to
younger southerners how his venerable
grandfathers once told him of seeing
CORVALLIS at the surrender of York
town tender his sword to Washington
point foremost, and Washington compel
him to reverse its position.
1t is a pity to spoil a Washington
anecdote considering how scarce new
Washngtoniana are, but the fact is
that CORVALLIS was not present at the
ceremonies of surrender, being "indis-
posed" The humiliating duty of sur
rendering the defeated army was dele
gated to Gen. O'Hara, and Cen Lincoln,
In behalf Of the allied Americans and
French received the weapon which
O'Hara rendered.

WATER POWER.

There is some fine water power
on Mackey's creek at Bay Springs
and on Bear creek at many places,
but especially at a point near
Tishomingo town, a great water
power exists. The power at Bay
Springs was once utilized in run
ming factory. The power on
Bear creek, near Tishomingo, is
much greater, but has never been
harnessed. The site is splendid
one for the erection of a dam.
Machinery could be installed
there to do great work, either il
manufacturing or furnishing cleo
trio power.

continent, the aboriginal tribes
discovered the medicinal virtues of
the spring water, if we are to be-
lieve Northumberland traditions.
1t is fact that when the white
people first came to this section
they found the waters of these
springs held in the highest esteem

Another reason why Iuka is a
good place to live in is because of
the high moral tone and social
friendliness of its citizens. There
is but one thing necessary to gain
the good will, and friendship of
Iukans, and that is good charac-
ter. The right hand of fellow
ship is extended to all, prospect
i've of financial condition, who

themselves in a moral, upright
way.
Again, Iuka is an attractive

build a magnificent school build

The sum of 81, 500 has also been
raised and contract entered into

on the construction of this system
will begin in the near future.
The electric light plant is the

the beautiful park is brilliantly

The rolling country that lies

cause it is admirably situated
within easy reach. by good road,

account of its many natural adj
vantages, and when this occurs
Iuka will be greatly benefited.
Come to Iuka to do business, to
find a pleasant, healthful home

by the Cherokees and Choctaws
who inhabited the region contigu-
Gus. The writer has been told
by old white citizens of this
county now passed over the river
that the Indians would bring their
sick for hundreds of miles, in
some cases, SO that they might
drink of the health giving waters.
Their confidence in the waters
was based on actual experience
and was unquestionably we'll
founded. The white settlers tried
the water and found it exceedingly
beneficial in many diseases, but
there was no large use of it until
afte 1857, when the railroad was
completed. Since that time the
fame of the water has been stead
lily growing. No extra effort has
been made to advertise It, but the
persons who came, drank and
were cured went away to pro-
claim its merits. Hundreds of
people come to Iuka each summer
solely for the purpose of drinking
the waters and taking a rest.
Our beautiful park which sur
rounds the springs is a most at
tractive and cool retreat during
the long, hot summer days.
Both the park and the springs
are the property of the town of
luka and are free, without
