preparing to help enter me as being a
deceased correspondent, so want to
thank him many times for his courtesy
in my vacation as a News correspon-
dent Of this part of the moral vine
yard. am not really dead, brother,
but as time advances and as we slide
along down the line of years, | only
neglected my duty that really owe
to the News and the reading public
in failing to hand in the news and the
real happenings of the old Third, but,
however, am alive, slightly disfgur-
ed but still in the'ring.
Everybody has now gone to work and
not loafer is to be found up here to
advocate the loafers and the nonsweat-
ter's union.
Quite a lot of moving, shifting,
changing. transferring and conveying
took place up here last week. Julius

and family, George and Bill Layne,
and E. J. Barber and boys, Taylor
Easily and others moved to Walden
Ridge to point near the Suck on the |
top of the mountain, IL miles from
the Tennessee river at. the new cable
rope incline. There are now going up, |
besides what are already occupied, II
or 10 houses, with lumber already on
the ground to build a 2-story commits
sary store house and they are fixing
to build a church and school house,
also, and are running three saw mills
out there, getting out timber, and
crossties and also chestnut cord wood.
There will be quite town in that
part of Marion county, lying east OF
Sequachee valley on direct line from
here to Chattanooga. The incline
now is in full operation and will give
work out there to hundreds OF work
men and laborers, who desire to work.
All report good wages. The company
will furnish you lumber and nails to
build house free of charge. What
more could You ask or expect. There
will be millions of dollars worth of
valuable timber got out and put on
the market out there and it will help
increase the money circulation among
the poor up here.
We had quite an excitement here
:. last night. Ny better half went to the

reached the we'll house something
squalled out very sharply and You bet

me up and I walked up one of my
IL brave sons and he got his gun but
ey when he received the news his nerve
II, gave away and the burden fell on thu
