LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE R. R. ADOPTS
TELEPHONE FOR TRAIN DISPATCHING.

The Louisville 8: Nashville is installing
a complete up-to-date telephone train
dispatching circuit between New Or
leans and Mobile. The installation of
this circuit has been somewhat delayed ,
owing to the very severe storms which
have recently occurred in that vicinity,
destroying not only a considerable
amount Of the telegraph pole line, but
the track and road bed as well.
This telephone circuit will be the first
to be installed in that section of the
country for the purpose of handling
trains, and will be watched with con-
siderable interest by the other roads in
that vicinity. The apparatus employed
is of the standard type manufactured
by the Western Electric Company.
This is the second circuit installed by
this railroad, the former one being be-
tween Louisville and Cincinnati. The
officials of the road report that the SER
vice on the first circuit between Louis
vile aud Cincinnati is giving entirely
satisfactory service in all particulars.

gagged in the Importation of fruit, then
in it's infancy, and which has grown to
the present large proportions, as one of
the most Important industries in the
South. Upon the retirement of the
father, Tony engaged in the work,
which he carried on most successfully.
He was associated with a number of
prominent Italian firms and was steve
dore for the Bluefields Steamship Com

the Vaecaro Brothers. Eighteen years
ago he left the conduct of the business
in the hands of his brothers, Charles
and Joseph Matranga, and went to Me

business. He remained there three
years and decided to retire permanently
from active life. He built fine coun-

LITTLE WILLIE LOST
Turlbls Excitement IN BlngylIls fol
q Spell Tuesday

There was great excitement spread an
over Bingville last Tuesday afternoon
by the mysterious disappearance of little
Willie Spooner, youngest and only, s.
year-old son of Jed and Hannah
Spooner, who lives at the lower end of
Bingville.
Mrs. Spooner was darning socks at
the time and Willie was playing with a
pair OF scissors IN the front yard. Hav-
Ing not heard him jab himself with the
scissors for some time, Mrs. Spocner
naturally become uneasy, and going to
the front door was horrihed to see
Willie nowhere In sight, She called
"Willie!' two or three tines, but get
ting no reply, hollered out his full
name, William Henry Curtis James
Spooner y When Willie didn't answer
to this his mother knowed he was lost
and at once dropped her work and
started up Main street giving the alarm,
In few minutes all of the most re-
speeted residents of Bingville had as
sernbled In front OF the postoffice and
were excitedly discussing the turrible
news, Somebody rung. the church bell
and the fire department. thinking the
church was on FIRE, responded promptly.
Seth Dewberry, our Iion-hearted town
constable, was asked his opinion and
stated that after a careful examination
of the Spooner premises he was satisfied
that the child had wandered off some
where and was likely dying of starvation
at that minute, This naturally didn't
cheer Mrs. Spooner up any,
The crowd then separated In every
direction and started out into the courl-
try districts where the hunters beat
around until it got dark, Then they all
returned, but alas no Willie.
Mrs. Spooner returned home almost
beside herself with grief. Remembering
that she had forgot to feed the pig, she
done so and was surprised to find two
pigs in the pen. Closer examination
proved that one of these pigs was a
boy covered with mud, Mrs. Spooner
took the child into the house and
washed its left arm with soap and
water, revealing bright red strawberry
mark; then she knew it was her long
lost Willie and licked him for 5 or 10

Our officious and popular postmaster,
Mr.. Eph Higgins, handed US copy Of
a Boston newspaper tother day and re-
spectfully called our attention to the
following news item which appeared in
is columns;
AN anonymous reader has mailed us
a copy of the Bingville Bugle. rural
weekly newspaper published in the in
terests of Bingyille and environs. A
careful perusal OF the Bugle reveals a
woful ignorance in the spelling of even
common English words and the makeup

the times. Some Of the items are very
| ludicrous and the advertisements would
make . horse laugh. The Bingville
Bugle no doubt serves purpose in the
bacikwoods district where It is pub
tlished, but 1t Is deplorable that there
should exist a community where the
natives are satisfied with a publication
so crude as the Bugle. Until the city
papers penetrate to Bingville that viii

Postmaster Higgins received it. Any

In reply to the above scurrilous and

the above assault shall not pass un-

almost to decay, the deacon removed
them on Tuesday preparatory to putting

On Tuesday evening after supper the
deacon filed his pipe, put on his hat
