that he has heard his mother speak
frequently of Mr.. Darden, who for
many years was her close neighbor
in West Tennessee. According to
mothers statement, Mr.. Darden re-
fused to be weighed in his latter
years, and his exact weight was not
known; but he weighed more than
500 pounds when he last went upon
the scales. His neighbors, deter
mined to learn his exact weight a
short time before he died, marked
the springs of a hack in which he
rode. They then filled the hack with
heavy irons until the springs reach
ed the marks, and weighed the irons.
The irons weighed something over
1000 pounds. - Lowry's Honey

Shiloh National Military Park.

Washington, D. c., October g
The Shiloh National Military Park
is in better condition than ever be-
for and improvements are being con-
stantly made, according to the re-
port of the park commission whose
annual report has just been issued
by the war department. OF the
last annual appropriation of $685.

eral upkeep of the reservation, S.
900 each was paid the three COM
missioners as salaries, $4,000 was
paid De Long Rice, secretary and
superintendent, 5000 was paid a
clerk, the total expenditures for sal
aries being $4,000 The remainder
was spent on running expenses.
The total area of the park is now
3,546.14 acres, with twenty-seven
miles of graded roads threading
them. The total number of build
ings on the property is forty. Bat
tie line tablets are being gradually
erected, at uresent there being 226
marking the Federal lines and 173
the Confederate lines.
In fact, so comprehensively and so
plainly have the Shiloh battle lines
been marked that the seeker after
history may start at the tablet where
the first volley was fired in the bat
tie of Shiloh and follow every move
ment of the divisions, brigades and
regiments thru all the evolutions of
the battle. In marking the lines
and in otherwise presenting in con-
venient and permanent form facts
pertaining to the battle, according
to the report, and to the battlefield,
iron tablets have been placed accord |
ing to the following classification:
Battle-line tablets. 500; camp-site |
tablets, SO; historical tablets, "a;
headquarters tablets, 70; mortuary
tablets, 5; general explanatory tab

park, ESQ cannons have been mount

as TO designate the positions of ar
tillery at the various stages of the
battle.

Largest Man on Worlds Records.

1.-THE largest man on record was
Carolina, who was born in 1898, and
who died in Tennessee in 1857. He
was feet and inches high and in
1845 weighed 872 pounds. At his
death he weighed little over / 900
pounds.
I'm 1889 his coat was buttoned
around three men, each of them
weighing over 200 pounds, who
walked together in it across the
square at Lexington. In 1850, it
required 12h yards of cloth, one
yard wide, to make him a coat. I'm
til 1853 he was active and lively and
able to bear labor, but from that
time was compelled to stay at home
or be hauled about in a two-horse
wagon.
His coffin was s feet long, 35
inches deep, 80 inches across the
breast, Is inches across the head and
IA inches across the feet. 1t re-
quired "a yards of black velvet to
cover the sides and lid of the coffin.

Wants Island Number s.

A New York syndicate, so we are
informed, is trying to buy the whole
of Island No. 8, fine tract of land
several miles below Hickman and in
Fulton County. The island contains
something like 5000 acres, on which
is yet considerable valuable lumber.
Just what the New Workers. expects
to do with this land, if they buy it,
is matter for speculation, but the
consensus of opinion is that it would
