ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
THE TRUTH OF NATrrR.E.

Beyond the elty's smoke and grlme,
 Where peaceful valleys smile And streams that fear not winters rime
 Make music all the while, Are calm retreats where weary hearts
 May say good-by to care; The strife and din of crowded marts,
 The burdens toilers bear. Beyond the city's buildings tall And roaring streets a-throng, Are woodland aisles where sunbearhs fan
 Fair rustic scenes among, And where 'tis sweet to bide a while,
 In fancy's genial glow, Apart from falsehood's every vile
 And foly's gltt'ring show.

gles, a subject which is being freely dis cussed at this time, was published by The Age-Herald. From the moment the ar- ticle appeared until the present time have been the recipient of letters, postals, telegrams and verbal messages from al- most every quarter of the United States. In fact, I might say from almost every state in the Union. Hardly had The Age Herald containing the article reached Chi cago before I received a 100 word telegram 1 from correspondent in the, Windy City, and to date I have heard from six or | eight other Chicago people.

 Knoxville Appalachian Exposition
 We were particularly struck with the beautiful grounds and the great attention paid to the landscape gardening eHect, which has a tendency to bring out the beauties of nature in the Knoxville noun tainous district" said Sterling A. Wood, who with his wife visited the Appalachian exposition last week.
 We were greatly impressed too with the beauty of the production of Longfel- lows 'IIiawatha' by tribe of native h. dians. It was given the setting in large measure called for by this most beautiful poem. and combined with the lake and canoes and Indian village. and their weird war dances and speeches in Indian dfa- feet, together with the intonation of the poem made scene that one can scarcely forget. The horse show was another great attraction. It brought together 1he wealth and fashion of East Tennessee, and the hurdle riding of three young la dies who came from Atlanta, Ga., was particularly noticeable.
 ''Of course, the Knoxville fair was not up to the Birmingham fair but then one remembers that Birmingham is Birming- ham. and cannot be outdone by any city north east, south or vest

. new LINE
Of Traction System through
the New Golf Addition
is Completed.

The Fairmont and Clarksburg
Traction Company completed it's ex-
tension through the new Con addition
Thursday together with sidetraclts
and turnouts. The new line shortens
the haul to the fair grounds $500 feet
and provides fifteen-minute service
instead of twenty-minute one as
heretofore 1t will be found of great
convenience in conveying the crowds
to and from the fair and it will
prove big factor in the develop
ment of the new addition. The line
is one of the most substantially con-
structed of the system. -.

EX- SHERIFF PAYS
MONEY TO COUNTY
Treasurer Covering Errors in
Settlements as Shown by
the Audit.

Ex-Sheriff John NJ. Flanagan paid
Thursday to the county treasurer
S11,4O474, an amount the state tax
commissioner alleged was still due
the county and state from his adj
ministration as sheriff of the county.
The amount represents errors IN
settlements had with the county
court, errors which those who made
the settlements did not detect, and
of which Mr. Flanagan had no per-
sonal knowledge until the recent
audit was made by the state tax
commissioners office.
Ex-Sheriff Flanagan informed the
county court at the first opportunity
after the report of the audit was re-
ceived here that he stood ready to
pay every cent justly due the county
and state and that he did not want
a single cent of the public moneys,
to which he was not Justly entitled.
The tax commissioners audit show
ing that money was due from his
administration on account of errors
made, when the county court held
the sheriff's settlements during his
administrations, Mr.. Flanagan has
voluntarily discharged the obliga-
lions of his administration in this
respect without resort to process OF
law, and he stands just as ready to
meet any and all other obligations
that may be shown to be properly
due and thus relieve his bondsmen
of any and all responsibility and
leave no duty to the public undone.
AS the question of sheriff's com
missions and interest allowed by
county courts depends on judicial
decision yet to be made in case
pending against one of the sheriffs
of the state and in conformity to the
program agreed upon by the sher-
ifs organization of the state, final
disposition of what the audit sets
forth as due in the shape of COM
missions and interest may not be
made until the decision referred to
is made. Mr.. Flanagan expresses a
perfect willingness to abide by that

CONCRETE
Bridge Near Fair Grounds is
Completed and Turned
Over to County.

The Luten Bridge Company, of
York, Pa, finished the new bridge
across Elk creek southeast of the
new fair grounds Thursday and
turned it over to the county.
The bridge is of the reinforced
concrete arch type, having two sixty
foot spans, and the only superstruc-
ture is an iron hand railing on each
side. There is roadway twenty
feet wide on it including street car
track over which the local traction
company will operate it's new loop
line around the fair grounds. Tho
structure has capacity of street
car of seventy-five tons and road
roller of twenty tons, abreast
A. B. Whitaker, local representa-
tive of the Luten Bridge Company
who personally supervised its con.
struction, says it is one of the finest
reinforced concrete bridges of the
size in the state.
visitors to the fair next week are
asked to inspect the bridge.

PAY GAR
Is Restored on This Part of
the Baltimore and Ohio
System.

In 1901 the pay car was removed
from the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, the pay being made since by
checks which were forwarded to the
stations and distributed by the local
agents.
Notices have been sent out
stating that the pay. car will be re-
stored.
This move will no doubt be well
come one to most of the men as 1t
will mean a saving of much time
and trouble to them and 1t will re-
store one of the old and somewhat
romantic customs of railroad life.
The arrival of the first pay car at
the station will no doubt be looked
forward to with great interest by
some people.
