HERBERT DOMAN
Convict Labor To Be Soon Put
To Work There.

1t is understood upon good authority
that the board of prison commissioners
intend, in the near future, to begin
the developing of the Herbert Domain
at the head of the Sequatchie valley,
now the property of the state, and said
to be rich in coal bearing veins. I'm
der resolution adopted by the last
session of the general assembly the
prison commissioners are empowered
to develop the coal fields in question,
and it is said that they intend to do
so Immediately.
1t will be recalled that the legisla-
ture four years ago authorized the
purchase of tract Of land in the Sc
quachee valley, known as the Herbert
Domain and embracing an area of
several thousand acres; this purchase
to be made by the governor. Gov
Cox finally purchased the tract for the
state just before his term expired.
According to the present plans of
the prison commission some fifty or
more convicts will be sent to the Do
main under competent mining en-
gineer, and will do prospect work
with a view toward locating and OPP
ening any coal veins that may be To-
Gated thereon. The plan is to have
this prospecting work commenced by
July l.. Nashville Tennesseean.

Chas Ferguson and Ike Turner went
out bee hunting Sunday evening and
they found the largest hive of bees |
ever saw and they got about - gallons
of comb and honey, and Chas. Fergus
on has lost about three days work try
ing to save the bees. He put them III
one gum twice and the he made anoth-
er gum but still they would not stay.
He said he would not have taken five
dollars for them if he could have saw
ed them
Well, this must be the place that
have heard of that was flowing with
milk and honey. There seems to be
plenty of honey in the woods, and
there is plenty of cattle to give the
milk, and there is plenty of grass tc
make them fat. Everything is look.
ing prosperous out here this year.
Corn is fine and cotton also, but
don't think there will be quite as much
cotton as there was last year.
| see Chas. Ferguson has got another
plow hand at work. 1t is Miss Bessie
Ferguson, Slim Booman says he don't
think it right for a woman to plow
but I had just as soon plow as to hoe.
We are having a nice time at the
Literary Society every Saturday night.
Our last subject was: (Which is the
most pleasant, married or single life7'
and Chas. Ferguson is awfully opposed
to married life | guess it is because
he has got some girls about old enough
to marry and he has just got to place
where they can do him some good.
Well, as to fishing don't know who
can catch the most fish, Ike Turner ol
Chas. Ferguson, but there came high
water and Turner lost lots of his hook,

little ahead of Turner.

A LUCKY SHOT
Exciting Adventure in an East
African jungle.

In the Wide World Magazine there
is an exciting account of lion hunt
in British East Africa. The party con-
sisted of Walter Cooper, Captain H.
and his sister. The young lady cap
tured four lions, while the men slew
FIVE between them. The tenth lion
was killed through its desire to cap
ture a native carrier, who, realizing
that things were becoming too warm
for him had bolted. The following is
the account of the misfortune which
befell the lion through his attempt to
stay the haste of the native. The lion
ess attracted by the sight of the fee
ing man, swerved off suddenly, and
made after the fugitive The man had
not more than twenty yards start and
the great brute rapidly overlook him.
Miss II. fired again, and we men both
fired as well, but we were not near
enough to make a good running shot.
The wretched man, with a courage
born of desperation, turned at the last
moment and hit at the lioness with his
rifle. The blow fell a bit short and
the enraged brute, swapping at what
came nearest, caught the weapon in
her mouth at the muzzle. The pace
at which she was travelling was so
great that Hassan was hurled back
ward, and in falling his finger caught
the triggers, letting off both barrels.
By the most extraordinary piece OF
luck the rifle was pointing straight
down the beast Is throat at the mo-
ment, and down she went, with hel
head nearly shot away, right on tor
of him
