Mrs. Rollins.

Death has again visited our
town and taken from our midst
Mrs. Rollins, wife of B. P. Rol-
Inns. whose death occurred Jan.
28th, 1914, at the age of sixty
six years, four months and
twenty-five days. She was
married March 2lst 1872. To
this union was given one son
and four daughters: Mr.. John
Rollins of Ducktown, Tenn,
Mrs. Luke Lyle of Benton route
/, Mrs. D. B. Stephens of Tel
lico Plains; Misses Onie and
Jennie of this place; all who
together with her husband sur
vive her. Sister Rollins WIS a
devoted wife, a kind and loving
mother, a gentle, modest and,
uDassuming christian lady. and
in her death the bereaved hus-
band and children have sustain
ed great loss, Ocoee Baptist
church has lost consistent
member, the community a good
neighbor and the Pastor feels
that his praying forces are
weakened; but our loss is heav-
ems gain, and therefore say
Lord, help US 10 pray, Thy
kingdom come, thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven. "
The funeral sermon was
preached by her pastor from
Rev. 7-13-14, after which her
remains were by her kind
friends and neighbors laid to
rest in the town cemetery to
await the glorious morning of
the Resurrection, when she will
be heard to say 20, death,
where is thy sting? o, grave,
where is thy victory?" But
thanks be to God who giveth US
the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ.
Strong and frithful, with no evil
leaven,
She pressed the way that leads
to heaven.
A life of faith she gave TO God,
Happy path that she has trod.

4 Week of Horrors and
PathOS. :

Beginning Monday morning
when the sad news of the death
Of Bob Long was telephoned
here, until Saturday when the
remains of little Florence Law
son wee laid to rest, was one
continuous week of horrors and
pathos. The railroad wreck in
which the engineer lost his life
was a gruesome thing, but rail
road accidents lire nearly always
gruesome.
To my~mind it is agrand thing
to be an engineer on q great
railroad; to sit in his cab and
hold human life and property in
ia his hand. We have oft times
wished that we could be an en-,
gineer for some railroad com.
pany and thought what grand
thing it would be to slip along
the steel rails in the night time
with only the fireman's face WIS.,
ible from the light of the fur
nace's open door and the faces
of the stars in the heavens, and
to know that the passengers
who were asleep in the cars
were sleeping in full confidence
that all of the engineers on the
road would do their full duty.
The wreck here last week, they
say was the result OF blunder
by the engineer of a freight
train. 1t is human to blunder--
all of US make mistakes, but we
all have to pay for them sooner
or later-pay for them in misery
! in pain and regret and some
times in death. If the wreck
was caused by a blunder of the
freight engineer, doubtless the
passenger engineer knew it at
last fatal moment, and u be dld
doubtless there must have come
to him feeling of gladness that
it was not his mistake and that
he was going TO his death doing
! his duty; while on the other

hand, the freight engineer is
paying for his blunder, if his it
was, in pain, misery and regret.
Yes, it was week of horrors
and pathos, and none save those
who have stood at the door OF
death and listened while their
loved ones passed through, have
heard or have seemed to hear
the sound of vanished footsteps
caught the echo of silent
voices and the beat of stilled
heats, can truly sympathize
with one who has lost loved
one.

People are vitality interested
in the safety as we'll as the com
fort of railroad travel, and ow-
ing to many appalling railroad
wrecks, in which there has been
great loss of life, there has
grown up public demand for
some measures to be taken to
prevent these calamities. Those
who travel want to be as free
from harm when they travel as
it is possible to be, and they
want assurance that everything
has been done that is required
by reasonable caution to make
travelling on the railroads safe
A bill is now pending in con-
gress empowering the interstate
commerce commission with an-
thOrlty TO look INTO the OperaJ-
ing conditions of railroads, with
a view of correcting defects and
preventing wrecks. This bill
designs that the inspection OF
the railroads shall be made be-
fore, instead of after, the
wrecks. This is to prevent ~
sacrifice of life bv those rail-
roads which are deficient Ii ser-
vice or equipment, or where the
condition of the road does laot
justify the speed of the trains,
Various things conf rihute t0fhe

Poston and Pixies
Peak.
CONTINUED from last week. }

Over fifty years a gold pros
pector! The fascination of it!
In 1858 Uriah went to Dalton,
took the train for Nashville
with a party bound for Pixies
Peak-at Nashville they took a
steam boat trip to Fort Leaven-
worth, Kansas. There they
bought steer teams, wagons and
mining outfits and followed the
old Santa Fe route to the Ar
kansas river, at the Santa Fe
crossing, thence up the river
past Denver (Which consisted OF
two houses, hotels, named Den
ver's and Arraro's, the first on
the south side of Cherry Creek,
the second on the north side,
both later contending for the
name of the town J They pass
ed through Pueblo, an older
town than Denver. On the way
across the plains they saw tens
OF thousands of buffaloes, some
times as far as they could see in
all directions-at calving time
the buffaloes herded with the
calves in the center and a solid
mass around them of older buf-
faloes to keep off the wolves
which were more numerous than
jack rabbits. Prairie chickens
were present like the palmy
pigeon days-they filed the air
with flying thousands Elk, an
telope, deer, mountain sheep and
Rocky Mountain goats were
numerous. He saw in one body
about 1900 Indians, only three
of them being dressed in any
white-man clothes; the chief and
two daughters had blankets on
furnished bv the U. S. The
others were naked except as to
a piece of buffalo robe tied
around them.
On further, he saw the fresh
made graves of three white
persons, buried about thirty
minutes before by soldiers.
They had been killed and scalp
ed by Indians. A preacher who
was in their party got bit by a
tarantula, but it did not hurt
him much, as he explained to
Poston that he twas fixed for it
when it bit him" twas full OF
"snake medicine.")
They passed on over the foot
hills of Pixies Peak and located
a claim, there washing for free
gold. Eight men made the
prospecting crew, and they
poured water into a gum-log
rocker about II feet long which
they had partly filled with "pav
dirt or gravel" The rocker had
about dozen grass rope "rlf-
fes" fastened across the inside
on the bottom and an augur hole
at the lower end to let the gold
off through One man rocked
the gum-log rocker while the
others did the other necessary
work, some hunting for the
meat they lived upon. They
paid 25 to 30 dollars a hundred
for -four, IS for enough sheep
for supper and breakfast and 81
a pound for coffee. Poston and
another man earned their part
one day by killing a mountain
sheep ana two elks. The eight
men made about $240 90 a day
while there, or about 80 penny
weights each a day of gold, or
nearly $50 day to the man,
Poston made a trip to Santa Fe
