tween the North and 0OutA,

Mason and Dixons line between

surveyed three times. The first survey

miah Dixon between 1853 and 1867 at
the instance of the Lords Baltimore,
proprietors OF Maryland, and the Penn
family, proprietors Of Pennsylvania.
The line was $50 miles long. At the
end of every fifth mile a stone was
planted bearing the arms Of the Penn
family on one side and on the other the
arms of Lord Baltimore. The inter

OF the survey was made in 1S49 and

CAT MADE AN

AFTER BEING KILLED RETURNS

PURRlNG MOOD.

The following cat story has been
sent The Herald:
The old saying that cat has nine
lives seems to be very true, at least
Messrs. Lafayette Hagey and Joe
Hayes think So happened this way,
not long ago Mr.. Hayes on going out
to the stables found a common old
house cat in the clutches Of a trap
that had been placed out for rodents.
Mr.. Hayes being a very tender-hearted
person took pity on the unfortunate
brute and released it, carrying it into
the house, where it would receive
medical attention. The feline recov-
cred very rapidly and soon was the
pet of the household, regardless Of its
fondness for the kitchen table. A few
days ago Messrs. Hagey and Hayes
were going into the dining room and
to their amazement their eyes became
focused on this favorite pet carrying
off a piece of steak, and as they were
fond of this variety of meat they be-
came incensed at the thief and at the
suggestion of Mr.. Hagey they decided
to rob the cat of the remaining eight
claims for her life. After beating her
over the head with rod, breaking
her skull in several places, they de-

hole. Not dreaming that the cat
would ever be seen on earth again.
This morning this ill-treated creature
came up purring and rubbing against
the chair leg of Mr.. Hagey as though
very hungry. Messrs. Hagey and
Hayes would like to present this AMI
NAL to someone as they think it is
free from death.

FOR SECOND TIME
LEBANON is SHOCKED
BY AWFUL TRAGEDY
wills LANE, PROMINENT MAN,
SENDS BULLET THROUGH
HIS BRAIN.
MELANCHOLY FOR SOME TIME
Home Destroyed by Fire Few Months
Ago And Beloved Sister Loses
Lhe-Had Brooded Much Over
Troubles.

LEBANON, Tenn, June S.-Wils
Lane, a prominent farmer residing
about four miles from this city on the
Murfreesboro turnpike, committed sui
eide shortly after 5 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon at his home by shooting
himself through the head with a %
calibre rifle death following in about
half an hour.
Although the entire community is
deeply shocked at the tragic death OF
Mr. Lane, his suicide was not unex-
pected, as it has been generally known
for some time that he has been suf-
fering from deep melancholy, amount
ing at times almost to suicidal mania,
and that he has repeatedly expressed
his intention to take his own life when
the opportunity should present itself.
So frequent have been these threats of
late that his wife has been forced to
hide every firearm and knife on the
place.
For some source, not as yet dis
covered, Mr.. Lane secured a 20 cali
bre rife and concealed it in an upper
room Of his residence. A little be-
fore 5 O'Clock Wednesday afternoon
he went upstairs to his room and a
few moments later his wife heard a
shot. Fearing the worst, she hurried
to the spot, to find her husband lying
partially conscious in pool of blood,
with the rife beside him and ragged
hole in his head just back of his right
ear Although medical assistance was
summoned at once, the efforts to save
Mr.. Lanes life proved of no avail, and
he died in half an hour.
The deep melancholy which ulti-
mately resulted in Mr.. Lanes untime-
ly death was due, in great measure,
to the loss of his beloved sister, who
persisted in a fire which destroyed his
home about six months ago 1t is
said that he had also been brooding
over other troubles lately, and that
these added their weight to his bur
den Mr.. Lane was well-to-do farm
Or and was generally liked and re-
spected The manner Of his death
was singularly similar to that of young
Bowden McClain of this city, who shot
himself through the brains with rife
about two weeks ago. The wounds
are almost identical in character.
Much sympathy is felt for Mrs. Lane
and her two children, who are now
left alone in the world.
