Bolton, July 20.-Harlen Page,
age about As years, was killed by
a train on the Prescott & North
western railroad about 3 miles
north of this place last Saturday
night.
Page, whose home was in Texas,
formerly lived in this county, and
he had arrived at Toxic over the
M. d. & G. at about Z o'clock on
Saturday evening and started to
walk down the P. & N. W. track
TO Gus Daniels, five miles from
Toxic, to spend the night, being
on his way to visit his brother,
Will Page, near Bolton.
A man supposed to have been
Page was seen shortly after dark
at a cattle guard where the body
was found at 2 o'clock Sunday
morning. The log train that pass
es this place about $50 0o'clock, it
is alleged, had evidence of brains
and blood on the COW catcher, and
it is supposed this is the train
that ran over Page, but the log
train passed over the body again
and fruit trains passed the place
twice before the body was dis
covered. 1t was mashed and torn
beyond recognition, and the un-
lucky man was only identified
by particles of his clothing.
1t is alleged that Page was in
toxicated when he got off of the
train at Toxic, and that he had
been fined at Nashville for being
drunk earlier in the day.
Page was raised in Red Land
township and married and went
to Texas about twenty-one years
ago. He was a farmer by occu-
patton and leaves a wife in Texas.
The body was buried at Avery's
Chapel in Red Land township.

pearance in the fields here yes

known for his taking his life
The funeral was held at his late
residence at 5 O'Clock this after

Beyond the sum appropriated
for the removal of these two de-
partments, there is no appropri-
alton for the completion of the
capitol. The capitol tax this year
will bring in about $4,000, but
the appropriations have been
made and warrants are outstand-
ing to take up all this amount, ex-
cept about $25, 900. About $780,
600 will be due on the capital tax
next year, and the same amount
the year following, so that by the
time work is resumed on the
building under appropriations of
the next legislature there will be
about $3.50 in the treasury to

HEAVY PEACH CHOP At i,
JOHNSON ORCHARD
ELBERTA PEACH CROP
OF ORCHARD
ESTIMATEDATA ABOUT $3OO,OO0I
Many Laborers Employed Day
and Night In Handling
Crop
ESTIMATEDAT ABOUT $3OO,OO0I

While in Pike county last week
delivering some lectures upon
educational work, Prof. Geo. B.
Cook, Superintendent of Public
Instructions, paid a visit to the
celebrated peach orchard of Bert
Johnson, which Prof. Cook says
is fair sample of what can be
done with some Of the apparent
ly valueless lands of this state by
the application of the right prin-
ciple.
This orchard has 2,3C0 acres,
already set to trees, of which on
ly LOO acres are in bearing
trees. From this 1,100 acres
the owner estimates that his crop
will bring about 100000. Just
at the height of the shipping
season he is sending out from Is
to 20 carloads OF fine Elbertas
every day, and e1ch carload
brings him about S1,5C0 on the
average. Mr.. johnson estimates
that he will have more than geo
cars of peaches this season.
There is no trouble in dispos-
ing of the peaches as, buyers
| flock to the orchard when the
shipping time arrives. About
700 men are employed IN handling
the crop, many of them being
highly paid laborers. Some o.
them work night and day during
shipping time.
The land was bought by thu
company which Mr.. johnson
represents, at a few dollars PEI
acre.
