Mrs. H. L. Whiteside had
owned and maintained what
was known as the Old Pike road,
leading from the foot of the
mountain to the top, with a toll
gate near the top. About the year
1880, George S. Ruble and others
had a survey made just south of
the old pike and subsequently had
a new road built with a much bet
ter grade than the other had, and
this new road was opened to pub
lie use free of tolls.
About this time the Cross
Roads began to improve. Besides
being called the Cross Roads. it
had sometimes been called Kirk
lin town. With the improve
ment a considerable number of
people moved from the city out
there and built homes. A COM
mittee was appointed to select a
new name but they failed to agree
upon one. They did agree to leave
the selection to a Mrs. Evans,

After we had eaten, Arthur

to slip on in place of my coarse,

most of the gentlemen, but not
with the ladies'. The late Adam
Rawlings, colored. was there
from the city with his string

a partner for the dance, and we
headed it with the Old Virginia
reel. My partner was a very
graceful dancer. Adam Rawl-

me, asked me what tune | want

The following article from tn,
Chattanooga Times contains a let
ter from our friend, Commodore
T. r. Harris. of this city, and i.
interesting outside of historical
utility, as descriptive of some Of
the high jinks into which he got
when some years younger:
"A well-known real estate mar
who came here in 1881, and has
been engaged in that business
ever since, tells me we had nc
suburbs at that time. He is a
careful observer and a conserva-
tive man in his conclusions and
statements. His estimate is thai
at the present time fully third
of our population resided in sub
urbs at that time. 1t follows, does
it not, that these suburbs deserve
good places in a history of Chat
tanooga?
Another gentleman, who has
been in the real estate business
more than a third of a century,
says st. Elmo is entitled to the
credit of being our first suburb
really worth mentioning as such.
Upon this point there may be diff
ferences of opinion, and |, for one,
would like to hear what some of
the other citizens think about the
matter!

those who left here some years
since, wrote me a letter which, |
was most glad to receive, and
knowing that he lived here and

instance. He has been telling me

Thomas r. Harris, Tom as
we all called him in the old days,
was born May 6, 1912, on what is
known as the Fry farm, which,
at the time of his birth. belonged
to his father, Robert I. Harris,
who purchased it for about $500.
The family has an interesting
history, connected with both war
and peace, of which something
further will be said, sometime,
somewhere. At the present, st.
Elmo occupies a front position.
Let me quote from a letter recent
ly received from Thomas R:
About 1867, lady from the
south named Sawyer, purchased
what was then know as the Rawl-
ings property. 1t was at the time
one of the prettiest properties at
the crossroads. She also leased
the land from the late John +.
HamiI, and built the halfway
house. She also built a small
livery stable, for the accommoda-
ton of people wishing to visit
Lookout mountain. Lew Owen
ran the business for her about a
year, then went back to the city |
and went into the livery business
with the late 40 Wisdom.
John D. Blackford bought the
property from Mrs.
Sawyer, and moved out there.

be brave to live and act for right
In face of cruel wrong;
Alone to stand 'gainst odds to fight,
Though thick the evils throng.
Be brave to live and speak the truth,
Where unloved truth men spurn;
Keep bravely on, though void of truth
Their hearts with hatred burn.
Be brave to fail, to meet defeat,
To fall before the foe,
No loud applause thy ear to greet
And only loss to know.
No true words die, no right deeds fail,
Such words and deeds live on;
In time the truth and right prevail
We have the task begun.
To nobly fail is triumph sure;
Be manful in the strife;
And brayely then thy cross endure,
To die for truth is life.
