COON FRIGHTENS
 NEGRO TO DEATH
GRANDSON OF DECEASED KILLS PET ANIMAL AND EATS IT TO PREVENT RECURRENCE OF AZ FAIR.

Greensboro, September 2.-(Special.)- An old negro woman was frightened to death on the plantation of J. Y. Vest brook, a few miles from town, few nights ago. After she had retired to her bed, and while there was no light in the room, she saw an object crawl over the bed toward her. She slapped it and pushed 1t away, but 1t came back. She then became frightened, and got out of her bed, when to her dismay she discov- cred that the thing was still pursuing her. Thinking surely that 1t was a haunt" she screamed, and other darkeys on the place ran to her. By the time that any one got there she was so overcome with fright that she could scarcely speak. It was learned that the object that had been following her was a pet coon. The old woman died from fright, and to pre- vent the recurrence of such thing in the family the coon was killed and eaten by the grandson of the deceased.

ton congresses in the state by the cit izens of the town
 The fight made on this compress by the opposing railroad in which cotton was hauled to Montgomery and back for com pressing, is also familiar to newspaper readers. The matter was aired before the state railroad commission and in the state courts. The case is still pend- ing.
 The Union Springs and Northern rail- road has paid handsomely since it was built. In fact, the road at times has been unable to handle all the business that has been offered
 Another Short Line,
 There is a short line of railroad run ming from Milstead, on the Western of Alabama, north to Tallassee. It is about nine miles long. The gap from the north ern terminus of the Union Springs and Northern at Fort Davis to Milstead is a little more than 30.
 It seems to be generally understood here that President Blunt is negotiating for the purchase of the short line and is planning to connect them by building across the gap,
 It IS also believed that he intends to build on up to Rockford in Coosa county and later on into the Birmingham district. It is believed that the road will be built into Rockford at once.
 It is also thought probable that tho road will extend south from Union Springs by Brundidge and Elba to the gulf coast.
 It is certain that plans are being hasti- ly formulated for important developments and extensions of the Union Springs and Northern railroad. President Blunt ad- mits this much with appropriate business reserve, and it is confirmed by the ac- tivity in the field and the money &iat is now being gotten together
 President Blunt Talks.
 President Blunt said "The Union Springs and Northern railroad would probably have been extended two or three years ago had it not been for certain agitation in the state that tended to intim- idate foreign capital.
 This condition has been relieved b some extent now and I am surprised at the readiness of foreign money to invest in Alabama enterprises that are shown to be worthy and safe.
 Money is plentiful and cheap and men who have capital to invest seem partial to good southern propositions I have found no trouble in securing all the money I want in developments in this section.
 "The short line we have been operating here for nine years has paid surprising ly well, and we feel justified in enarg- ing the system. Just how this will be done l. of course. do not care just now to make public for obvious reasons.
 1T want to say through The Age-Her- old that what I have been able to ac- complish in this section is due largely to the hearty cooperation of the business men of Union Springs and the vicinity Together we have been able to accom- DIiSh many good tbfDqS and fbera ara many things yet to be done.
 We will probably be ready to announce our plans definitely within 30 days"

EXTEND THE LINE.

Out in the Pilot Rock country TO-
oOO acres of former range land have
been brought under cultivation during
the past year. Much more sod will
be broken during the present year.
All of this means closer settle
ment in the section of the county
south of Pendleton. 1t means more
business for Pendleton. In the past
that portion of the county has been
known almost exclusively as a stock
raising country But with the build
ing of the Umatilla Central a trans
formation was started The Pilot
Rock country quickly came to the
front. 1t is now raising wheat, fruit
and multitude of other products
When the Umatilla Central is extend
ed beyond its present terminus the
country farther to the south will come
to life. 1t takes a railroad to change
a stock range into a farming country
Some day the Umatilla Central, or
some other road, will extend from
Pendleton out into Grant county. In
a commercial sense that county will
then be more closely linked to Una
tilla and all the country along the
line will be developed. Camas
prairie will become a great dairying
section, the timber in the south end
will be utilized and the outing places
in that part of the county will be Wis.,
tied by thousands of people every
summer. May the line be extended
quickly.

oLD-YOUNG.

Two classes of men we meet each
day,
First, men who will never grow
Old
And who never get sour or cold.
The other is that of young men old
Whose faces are wrinkled and
worn. .
Whose shriveled hearts no sympa-
thy hold
And always seem sad and forlorn,
The first are welcomed in every
place,
They scatter bright sunlight about;
Always ready to to sing or to shout;
The others are seen with downcast
look,
Are borrowing trouble each hour;
They never above their gloom can
rise,
And are grabbed. morose and sour.
There's joy enough in this world of
ours,
If we only would think it so;
The fields are covered with perfumed
flowers,
And the days with sunshine glow;
The heart should beat in unison
sweet,
To the joys we can claim our own,
Each stormy cloud with rainbow
meet,
And old age will to youth have
grown.

SETTLE THE MATTER.

1t is too bad there should be any
difficulty between the council and
the railroad people over the subject
of land for depot grounds. The city
needs a new depot badly. The o. R.
& y. company is also handicapped
by its present depot facilities.
Since the company formally an
nounced not long ago that a new de-
pot would be erected the people of
the city have been looking forward
to the construction Of the same. 1t
was earnestly hoped that the depot
would be built during the coming
summer.
There are two sides to the conten-
ton between the railroad people and
the councilmen. But the depot is
needed both by the city and by the
railroad Therefore each side should
be anxious to settle the matter ami
cably. Surely there is some common
ground upon which both sides to the
present controversy can meet Pen
dleton wants the depot and wants it
badly. Naturally the railroad COM
pany must have ground for its build
ings and yards. Furthermore, the
railroad people are the best judges
of their needs along that line. Wheth-
er or not their present demands are
excessive can surely be determined
II they are asking for more than they
really need, they should be content
to take less; if they can show the
councilmen that they cannot do with
out Lilleth and Aura streets the coun-
ell should grant their request. Most
of the people of the city are more in
terested in having the present contro-
versy settled than they are in how
it is settled.

ABOUT JAPAN.

The Japanese grow cherry trees
for the blossoms alone.
Large ears are a mark of beauty,
and fat people are much admired.
The Japanese takes his chopsticks

The women wear hatpins in their
hair, but no hats.
1t is not good manners to be seen
blowing your nose in Japan.
Thirty-three per cent Of Japanese
marriages end in divorces.
The japanese married woman tries
to make herself unattractive. Her
husband is supposed to know her
value: if he doesn't he divorces her,
Toothpicks are used with a hand
covering the mouth, and should be
inscribed with a poem.
When a japanese man is having a
night out he gets drunk before, and
not after dinner.
The poet is judged by his hand
writing, and not by his composition.
Japanese bells have no clappers;
you ring them by striking them with
an iron rod.
Every japanese household reserves
space in the house for the bed of
the mikado. should he happen to call.
The space, on which no other person
is allowed to rest, is usually but a
foot or so in height and a few inches
wide.
The Japanese have not only a lam
