MEMORIESi

Splash! went boy in the old swim
min hole down in old BotetOurt the
other day. The splash was heard dis
tinctly in this office. The sparkling
water splashed high In the air, away
up among the alder bushes and grape
vines which overhang the pool. 1T
has been a good many years since
that boy made that splash in the old
swimming hole in reality, but he has
made it many times since in imagina-
ton, as the years have fled by.
The fact that the bend in the creel;
where the water swirled and eddied,
has been Strengthened, and the alder
bushes and grape vines grubbed away,
and the old pool filled up with sand
makes no difference. That clear, cool
pool is still there. The boys still ga
ther and shout on its banks, and
splash and play there as they did in
those beautiful days that were but
can never be again! There he goes
again-splash The first thing you
know this paper will be running with
out its senior editor!

Dewey Reynolds browns in Holston

Abingdon, July 26.-Dewey Rey-
nolds, seventeen years old, was drown
ed in the north fork of the Holston
River, eight miles from Abingdon, late
Sunday afternoon. Reynolds was an
expert swimmer and lived three miles
from the stream. After running from
his home to the river, he hastily dis
carded his clothing and swan into the
stream without cooling off. A cold cur
rent from n spring cramped the swim
mer and he sank. The body, which was
recovered some time later, never once
arose to the surface.
Young Reynolds was son of John
son Reynolds; a nephew of Mr. C. II
Reynolds, who lives on Cavitt's Creek,
and brother to Phillip Reynolds, who
lives with him. Phillip Reynolds was
notified by wire on Sunday afternoon
and left at once for the funeral and
burial of his brother.

THE "ROAD-HOG."

Much is heard these days about
hogs-Berkshire, Poland China, Mule
foot, Durocs, Chesters, Tamworth, ct
cetera, of the four-footed variety,
also the "End-Seat" and, the latest,
the "Road-Hog." The End-Seat Hog
means the passenger who insists on
occupying the end seat in street cars,
railways, ETC., and compelling other
passengers to squeeze and crowd in
and out in order to get. in and out.
The "Road-Hog" is the fellow who
drives right square in the middle of
the road, and declines to drive to one
seems to think that the road was built
exclusively for their benefit. They
want it all. Seriously, drivers of vehi-
cles of all kinds, from a wheelbarrow
to an automobile or a threshing ma
chine, have equal rights on the public
highway, and these rights should be
respected. 1t isn't pleasant to call
people "hogs," particularly some who
drive automobiles and buggies, but
some folks do remind you of a pig,
who gets into the trough with all four
feet, and tries to push all the rest of
the pigs away. This is to be expected,
but why should not human beings be
considerate of each others rights and
pleasure? Some auto drivers seem to
think that country wagon should
give the road promptly at the first
"honk" of the horn. Some drivers, too,
of country teams seem to think that
auto drivers should give them the
road. Consideration is the thing. The
roads are wide enough for both and
all. "Keep to the right" is the slogan.
Neither auto nor wagon should use
the middle of the road, whenever prac-
tical.
Here are one or two suggestions:
Don't drive your machine so fast.
There is no pleasure in rapid running,
except in cases of sickness or emer-
gency. Not even doctor has the right
to "burn the wind" and endanger life,
under all circumstances. We all used
to think and not long ago, either,
that six miles and hour was good
going, and it was, but now we are not
content to travel less than 15 or 20
miles, and UP to SO miles per hour.
Don't drive so fast, and get some good
solid pleasure out of your car.
Slow up always when passing an
other vehicle. If team or buggy
horses are less likely to scare. There
is less liability of accident. Don't be
a road-hog.
