MAJOR ELLIoT's SPEECH.

Quite a number of our business
men met at the court house
Wednesday to listen to a talk by
Major Elliott, Of Birmingham,
Ala. Major Elliott is one Of
the most prominent engineers in
the south. He was the engineer
in charge of the work of the
Frisco railroad when the line was
built from Memphis to Birming-
ham. He is at present the con-
sulting engineer of the Louisville
and Nashville road. He is thor
oughly familiar with conditions
in the south, and on account of
his prominence in this particular
line he was invited here by the
promoters of the Tupelo-Ponto-
toc-Toccopola and Fulton railroad
to go over the proposed line.
This he has done and the meet
in Wednesday was to hear what
he had to say in regard to the
feasibility of constructing the
road.
In a plain statement he made
it clear that the road would pay
the stockholders from the start.
He stated that the territory to be
served by this road is a splendid
farming section and that the ton
mage from the start would be
large. He demonstrated to the
satisfaction Of every one that it
was possible for the people along
the line to build the road and
control it and in thae way reap
the profits accruing from it's op-
Grafton. In this way this section
will reap a double benefit by
keeping at home the profits made
from the operation of a road and
at the same time securing rail-
road facilities for the section so
much in need of it.
There is no doubt that the line
is needed. There is no doubt
that it will pay the stockholders
handsomely, therefore there is
no reason why the people should
not get busy and get to work at
once. There is no good reason
why all the profits from the
operation of this road should be
turned over to outside parties as

Methodist Church Addition.

The addition which the Methodists
have added to their Main Street church
is about completed and the only remain
ing feature left unfinished is the
furnishing the various rooms with
necessary seats.
For the past several years the main
building has been Inadequate to ac-
commodate the Sunday School and the
progressive members of the congrega-
tion took the matter in hand last spring
and the new building is the result of
their efforts.
The first step taken was that of
securing from competent architect
plans and specifications for a building
that would meet all demands of the
constantly growing Sunday School. Mr..
Hunt, very competent and well known
architect from Chattanooga, was in
yited here by the building committee
and the plans submitted by him were
adopted
The estimated cost of the building,
according to Mr.. Hunts plan, was S8.-
0U0 90. To secure. this amount the
committee circulated subscription lists
among the members and within a few
days practically all of the amount was
subscribed. The work has progressed
under the direction of the committee
without interruption and the building
does credit to the gentlemen who have
devoted their time to directing and
supervising it's construction.
The arrangement is most admirably
adopted to Sunday School work as each
class has a separate class room well
lighted and ventilated. The latter
feature was specially looked after by
the architect and the arrangement is
all that could be desired in this respect.
The assembling of the Sunday School
will continue in the main auditorium of
the church where the services will con-
tinue in concert. From the auditorium
each class retires to it's respective
room for recitation after which the
School returns to the auditorium for
final dismission.
With the growth of the town and the
consequent increased number of the
congregation, the new building was a
necessity. The work has been admir-
ably done and the committee who have
so we'll looked after every detail are to
be congratulated upon the success that
has crowned their efforts.

Drainage District Bond Sale,

Lower Coonewah Swamp Land
District Of this County sold
twenty year. six per cent bonds
at a fraction above par here
Monday amounting to $4,000. 90.
The proceeds of this sale will be
used in the drainage of 3400
acres Of very fertile bottom
lands near Shannon. The work
of draining these lands will be-
gin as soon as contracts can be
made with, owners of dredge
boats doing that class of work.
There has just been completed
about $4,000 worth of work in
two other drainage districts in
Town Creek Bottom and there is
now pending bond issues for
something like 81, 100000 for
other work of similar character.
The experience of the past ten
or twelve years by those who
took the iniative in draining their
land has proven that this is the
only way to get the full benefit
from the soil.
Lands that before the drainage
system was adopted in the coun-
ty that sold for practically moth
ing are now among the best
lands in the county and are
bringing top prices. Each year
sees more of this land reclaimed
and within a few years prac-
tically all of the lowlands will be
brought into cultivation through
this drainage system. When
this has been accomplished, Lee
county will have no rival among
her sister counties in point of
adaptability to all crops and in
productiveness.

w. c. Taylor.

/ Last Thursday morning message
1 was received by Mr.. j. @. Robins from
Mr. j. H. Allen announcing the death
of Mr.. w. C. Taylor in st. Louis.
This came as great surprise to Mr..
Taylor's friends, as no one here knew
that he was sick. The immediate cause
of his death was slinstroke, he having
| fallen on the street on account of the
great heat. He was carried to the
hospital where he died without regain
ing consciousness.
w. C. Taylor was native of TIA
wanda county and spent his early
years in this section. While yet boy
years as a private in the Confederate
army. When he was but boy his
father. the late Col. Clark Taylor.
moved to Verona where the subject Of
this sketch engaged in business as
clerk in the store of the late Col. R. c.
Clark. Will Taylor was such splen-
did business man that he soon became
the leading clerk of this prosperous
town and possibly no better business
man was ever developed there. After
years of service as a clerk in the store,
he became a partner in the business
and remained so foc number of years.
After the dissolution of this firm he
went to Aberdeen and engaged in busi-
ness there in the firm of Taylor, Strain
& Stewart. He only remained in
Aberdeen short while, going from
there to West Point where he engaged
in the mercantile business. After sew
eral years in West Point he, together
with Mr.. Strain, removed to Memphis
where they engaged in the wholesale
grocery business. Later this firm was
dissolved and Mr.. Taylor moved to St.
Louis.
During all his business career he was
successful. His :: d ,meLt was good
and each move proved profitable to him
and no doubt, at the time of his death,
he was what would be considered in
this country rich man. Mr.. Taylor
was never married. Although always
gallant and deferential to the fair sex
it seems that he never entertained any
idea of matrimony.
Mr.. Taylor leaves three brothers,
Leroy T. Taylor, of Verona: s. M.
Taylor, of Pine Bluff, Ark. and C. H.
Taylor, of Baldwin, besides number
of nieces and nephews.
The remains arrived at Verona Sat
urday morning. The funeral services
were held at the residence of Mr.. l. 7.
TAYLOR where large number of old
friends of the deceased gathered to pay
their last tribute of respect to his mem
ory The services were conducted by
the Rev. Babb of the Methodist:churcb.
Captain r. S. Thomas, a kinsman OF
Mr.. Taylor, in a short talk, paid a fit
ting tribute to his life and character.
The body was laid to rest in the family
plat where beside him sleep his father
and mother and brothers and sisters.
Beautiful floral designs were laid above
his last resting place by the hands of
loved ones.

Verona High School

We had pleasant call Tueslay from
Professor A. L. Burdine Of Verona who
left with us an advertisement of the

Oakland, Cal, June 17.-Five
checks, payable 1900 years from
date and representing a total sum OF

ASTORIA Is AFTER
TERMINAL RATES



Portland, Or, June 1.-THE
chamber of commerce at Astoria,
ore. 1t was announced today has
filed a complaint with the Interstate
commerce commission, asking that
the Astoria & Columbia river rail-
road be compelled to give Astoria
terminal rate on grain and farm pro-
ducts from the interior points of Ore
gon and Washington. The railroad
in question is part of the Hill system.
The commercial organization of
the seaside city declares in its bill Of
complaint that Il Is entitled to the
same terminal rates as those enjoyed
by Portland and Puget Sound points.
The question was brought up at the
convention of the Farmers Educa-
tlonal Cooperative Union, at Pull
man, Wash, and that body, after
listening to the complaint, declined
to have anything to do with the filing
of It. Hence, the Astoria chamber Of
commerce decided to act independ-
