PLANK ROAD BEING DESTROYED

The old rotton planks on that fam
Gus concern once known as the elk
ton, Andora and Lewisville Plank
Road" are being torn up and laid in
piles along the road. Having long
served no other purpose than to
wreck vehicles, they are now placed in
a position to brighten horses. This is
all that remains to show that plank
road ever existed there. 1t is the
first one constructed in this part of the
country, and its fate will most likely
be damper on all future enter
prizes of the kind to put out roads in
good condition. 1t is believed that
had this road been laid no further
than Cherry Hill it would have paid
well, and the company could have
kept it up.

Mr.. CHANGERS REMEMBERED
BY FELLOW EMPLOYEES


Mr.. w. o. Chambers, formerly
Master Of Trains, was called upon at
his home Thursday afternoon by a
number of railroad friends, repre-
senting the various departments
and presented with purse contain
ing $305 in gold, to express their ap-
probation Of eleven years of rela-
tionship
Mr.. Chambers was one of the
most popular officials of the L. & N.
railroad company, and his many
friends regret his leaving this divis-
ion.
A committee of six was appointed
representing the conductors, engi-
neers, iremen, brakemen and oper-
ators and dispatchers.
Mr.. G. E. Peterson, one of the
most popular conductors of this di-
vision, for the committee, in a few
appropriate words, made the follow
ing remarks:
"Mr. Chambers:
These few railroad men, repre-
senting various departments, have
gathered together this beautiful aft
ernoon to express to you their ap-
probation of the many kindnesses
and favors received from you. Also
to extend to you their regret that
you have severed your connection
with this division.
at is almost eleven years since
you came to this division. During
that time many Of us,if not all, have
been in trouble. In fact, a railroad
mans life is made up of trials and
trouble, from the President who
livesin luxury, to thepoor laborer
who warks upon the tracks, and in
time of trouble we always knew
where to go. And we are here to
say that each and every man re-
ceived a square deal from you.
"Our loss of you means someone
elses gain, and, while as yet you
have not been placed anywhere, we
hope and trust that this will mark
the beginning of a bright and happy
future for you in railroading, and
that you will rise to an official po-
sition where we as well as yourself
will feel proud.
Nov, on behalf of your many
friends, | wish to present to you a
little token, not for its intrinsic
worth or value, but that it may be
laid UP among the records in your
memory as a memorial to remind
you of the many pleasant days spent
with us.
"This old pocket-book from its ap-
pearance shows many hard days of
usage, and from the appearance to
you and the outside world would ap-
pear to be worthless, yet like the
dark cloud each has silver lining,
and like the dark days of our lives
the sun always shines the brightest.
Accept this old pocket-book, which
contains $305 in gold, and with it
our best wishes, and may the future
have many bright and happy days
for you and your family"
