HALF HIS LIFE ~
WAITED FOR MOTHER
Pathetic St2ry of Old "UnEc Ben
Whose Face Once seen Was Not

Antioch, Tenn, Feb. "a Uncle
Ben" Collins. who for th,cty years
met every train that rumbled into
Antioch, has succumbed to the raw
ages of pneumonia and a familiar
face that so long greeted the South
ern traveller will welcome him no

Uncle Ben was GA years old, and
during his later years had never fail
ed to wait for the train that was to
bring mother back to him. The ma
jority of travellers and trainmen to
whom Uncle Ben waved his CHEEKY
greetings as the fast express or 9th
er passenger train sped by were
sometimes informed that his strange
whim for watching every train was
due to promise made to his mother
when he was child.
The mother went on a journey, sc
tradition has it, and promised hei
] son to return the next day. The next
| day came-but no mother, and the
day following, and many other days
, and still the mother so eagerly
watched for never appeared.

stretched into years, and the years in

the belief that his mother was com

Wholesale Grocery For PiggOtt.
The matter of a wholesale grocery
business for Piggott was cinched one
day this week when the officers of
the Paragould Grocery Company
came to this city and took an option
on the Templeton building on the
corner of Front and Court streets.
J.. E. Wilbourne, president of the
concern; A. Bertig, vice president,
and A. M. Reedy, secretary, were all
here throughout the day Wednesday
looking over different locations with
a view to securing a plot of ground
which the company will lease, and
on which it will erect its permanent
quarters. However, the building
which was rented from Mr.. Temple
ton will be the companys temporary
quarters, and the concern will enter
business in the near future in the
building.
Piggott has been looked upon as a
favorable place in which to engage in
the wholesale bushes since the rail-
roads from the east and west have
been built and placed in operation.
1t is an assured fact, almost, that
