the Sunshine Special Monday night
we met Mr.. a. }. Sheahan, president
of the A. j. Sheahan Granite Com

told us that his company recently
bought n second hand Cotton locomo.
tive from the Iron Mountain people,
paying therefor $500. 1t will be
used on the Granite Company's road
from the quarries to the Iron Noun
tain road, the locomotive they have
used for several years past being out
OF commission until extensive repairs
are made. Then the new engine is
much heavier and can haul many
more cars. Mr.! Sheahan reports that
orders for granite are quite plentiful,
but the scarcity OF cars ~interferes
greatly with his business. He expects
to put q number of paving cutters to
work Monday Of next week.

to Ironton and delivered to Mayes the
horse he had traded for the latter was
we'll pleased and SO expressed him.
self. A month later Mayes became
dissatisfied and said he wanted his
old horse back, threatening to replev.
in and saying Anderson had no au.

former horse but failed. Anderson
insists he made the trade with full
authority from Maycs. And SO the
matter stands. No having yet, but
some threats.
