VAST sum TO BE
SPENT BY | & N.
Will Spend So, 900, 900 in I'M
provements on Hender-
son Division.

Madisonville, KY, Oct. 19.-One
of the most gigantic undertakings
that the L. & N. railroad has ever
undertaken on the Henderson dlvi-
sion of its system, and which will
mean an outlay of $6,000.00 is as.
sured, as contracts have been award.
ed for the Improvement.
One of the objects will be to re-
duce the grades and eliminate curves
between Guthrie and Slaughterville.
Road bed cutting and reducing the
grades and making fills for the pur-
pose of double tracking the system
between these points will cost a vast
sum.
One of the most perplexing pro-
blems the engineers will have to con-
tend with will be the Empire hill.
This is one of the steepest grades on
the division and it is estimated that
at least 100000 will be spent here
alone.
Seven steam shovels will be put to
work on the division in short time.
The loop, or cut off which will
leave the main track of the Hender-
son division at Morton's Gap, pass
around Darlington and connect with
the main track of the l.. & N. at
Little Sand cut, north of this city,
will be built and is to be completed
by October 81, 1910.
The company has secured almost
enough right-of-way to build the
cut off over the proposed route and
will begin work as soon as it can
conveniently do so.
When the loop is completed it will
be used as the main line by the COM
pany, and all of its passenger and
freight trains on the Henderson d.
vision will be operated over it. This
much has been decided upon by the
company and the track to Earling.
ton will be used to handle passengers
between Darlington and Madison
vile and work the mines.

Hopkinsville was full of railroad
contractors Tuesday, who were here
going over the road to bid on the
big contract of changing the grade
anddouble tracking the roadbetween
Nashville and Henderson, practically
all of the way. 1t is said that 81
50O,00O has already been appropriate
ed for the work and that it will be
put under way as soon as the con-
tracts can he let. The entire road
is to be made double-track, the hills
are to be cut down and grades
lowered and in some cases curves
are to be reduced and the line short
ened.
One of the cuts planned heretofore
was in this city, at 18th street, and
this is probably what the contractors
are looking into in this city. Several
of them stayed here Tuesday night
and were still on hand yesterday.
This great railroad project has
been talked Of for years. 1t was
planned three years ago when the
panic came and the fact that it is
now to be taken up is one of the
surest signs that good times are at
hand again.
The information also comes that
the l. & N will carry out its original

on motion of the widow. when it
was called Monday in New York.

New York to represent the city and
the other Hopkinsville legaties, will
return to-day. Under the New
York laws the widow cannot re,
nounce the will and take one-third,
as is the case in Kentucky, and un-
less she can show that Mr.. Latham
was incapable of making a will. the

enough for vehicles to pass under.
The plan was altered to stop the

be closed, but the company has, it is
now said, decided to restore the
former plan and build the shed 280
feet long. The depot as remodeled
is going to be much better build

OUR FIRST VIEW OF THE
PICKETT SPRING.

On last Friday we drove out to Wor
sham, and after a pleasant visit and a
delightful dinner in the home of Mr.
c. z. Pickett went with him to the
spring the praises Of whose water is
now being sung by grateful men and
women
Its location is picturesque and ideal.
The crystal clear water comes bubb-
ling up from a bed of rock, is col
lected in a capacious tub and conduct
ed through a pipe a few feet where it
is collected in the glass vessels which
stand ready to receive, the capacity
being 70 gallons an hour The terra
Gotta tub, which forms a basin for the
water has now been used some six
months and yet is as free from deposit
of any kind as though it had been on
duty for a day only This to US was
emphatic demonstration of the abso-
lutte purity of the water Nature
carved out the nesting spot, or maybe
we should say the spouting spot for
the fountain of health, " and then
surrounded it with graceful hilltops
upon which we expect some day to
see handsome cottages and in the cen
tre of the group a palatial hotel Vir-
ginia offers no more attractive sights.
And by the way the spring is in much
closer touch Of us than we had frs
thought.
There is a good ridge road LEADING
from it to the macadam road from
Farmville to Hampden-S Sidney anc
touching it at the old Watkins place.
This makes it from Farmville say some
four and a half miles, a pleasant drive
at any season of the year While we
stood at the spring and drank of its
pleasant water, five gallon-vessels
were being filled in quick Succession
the wagons in waiting TO bear them to
this market and from here TO be
shipped far and near

frightened Back.

One of our lady friends started for
Church last Sunday evening when the
electric light refused to shine, and just
as she left the house a flash of light
ming played in the Northern sky. She
hurried back and sought refuge in the
middle of the family room. And now
she is lamenting the mild winter and
lives in dread of the early coming of
thunder storms and a continuation of
them during the long summer time.
This lady has no fear of wind nor
storm minus lightning, and has been
known to maintain rare courage dur
ing the shock Of an earthquake, but
willis at the first flash and the first
roar. The struggle of her life has
been to overcome the dread but has
fled from every field of conflict con-
Tossing signal distressing defeat. She
has our warmest sympathies.

Morals VS. Money.

Mr.. Z. T. Bondurant gave us a
graphic description of spirited de-
bate which recently took place at
Rice, the question being Morals VS.
Money.
In defending the power of money
over human conduct or against moral
power. he alluded to a certain NJ. d.,
who being sent for to see a patient at
the dead hour of the night asked if
there was money in the case?' and
on being satisfied on that point, quick
ly said, light the lamp, bring in my
oyercoat, saddle my horse and off
he went to the bedside of the sufferer.
Not long after that, the same NJ.
d.. was aroused again in the night
time and asked to 90 to another fell
low man in trouble. Has he any
money to pay me ?" asked the good
doctor, and on being told no, he has
no money, but is a good moral man,
turned over in bed, tucked the cover
well about him, remarking as he did
so. his morality will no doubt save
him. 1t is needless to say that the
debate was decided.

THE "PRIZING HOUSE. "

We enjoyed a visit to the Farmville
District Prizing House Association,
Inc, on last Saturday and confess to
surprise at the magnitude Of its busi-
ness.
Busy was the word from spur to
plume, from cellar to garret. Scores
of hands were tearing the stems from
the leaves, and some of them do it
with remarkable quickness, the steam
rooms were crowded, drying space all
occupied, packers hard at it, stems
piled high and fifty hogsheads ready
for export.
The farmers in charge of this ven
ture are the leading and successful
farmers of this section of Virginia and
did not enter upon the new business
before counting the cost. We never
stand in the presence of large bulks
of tobacco that we do not wonder that
the weed should ever have been
thought OF as worthy OF CULTIVATION
and care, but when we light the old
pipe again we are disposed to say OF
sing:
And when the smoke ascends on
high
Then thou beholds't the vanity
OF worldly stuff,
Gone with a puff,
Thus think and smoke tobacco.
And sent the ashes cast away,
Then TO thyself thou mays't say
Not to dust,
Return you must,
Thus think and smoke tobacco.

Another Request.

We would be glad to have brief
communication from successful farm
ers, merchants, manufacturers and
professional men of Farmville and of
the counties for use in the Herald S
trade issue. Let the world of readers
know what you have done and done
well and so recommend the section in
which you have been living and labor
ing. The most successful thing
known among men is success, and we
are anxious to make record Of victo-
ries which have been won in any and
every branch of industry
And do it now as we are ready
to 90 to press. Tell it as you would
talk it to your neighbor and it viii

Lights Out.

Just as the Church goers of Farm
vile were getting ready to 90 to their
respective churches on last Sunday
evening, the electric lights went out
and darkness reigned supreme for
some half-hour. Nothing discouraged
the people felt their ways through the
darkness confident that the lights
would shine in time, and they did
shine
a few lamps were pressed into ser
vice. but they were made actually to
blush for very shame when the cleo
tries bIazed out in all their glory again.
How did the fathers in Farmville live
without the luxury? and no water in
their homes? and no telephone con-
veniences? ? and no smooth walkways2
and no mid-winter soda fountains and
no Normal School and mails once a
week? But they did live and grow 10
be men and women such as the world
may never look upon again.
