Repr. EorVelI, Of Grundy, Much
Pleased at Measures Pas
sage by Assembly.

Nashville. March 3.-0f great
interest to East Tennessee. and to
the mining communities in its
confnesespecially. is the bill pass
ed by the house Wednesday to re-
quire semi-monthly payments OF
workmen in establishments where
over twenty men are employed.
This measure has already been
passed by the senate. 1t is aimed
directly at coal mine companies
and their company store" sys-
TEN. Representative E. c. Nor
veil, of Tracy City, Grundy coun-
ty, is the father of the bill which
was recommended for passage by
the committee on labor, headed
by Representative Croce. of Shell
by county. Representative Nor
veil, a redhot labor man, is enthu-
siastic over the results the new
law will have on his section OF the
country.
1t will benefit the miner, the
farmer, and the storekeeper, all
over the state, and especially in
East Tennessee, he declared to-
day. Its passage certainly
means a great deal to the working
men, who were far too often fore
ed to trade at company stores
by the policy of some companies
in withholding payment until
each month. /"

'TWo5iEaBfD CALF
txCiFES WONDER

Over 200 people visited M.
Burnett's barn Saturday and
Sunday where he had a two
headed calf, which was born Fri
day night. By special invitation
of VIM. Lee and Malcolm Bur-
nett, DR., members of the News
staff were summoned to view
the prodigy. The calf was about
an hour old. and was unable to
stand, its head apparently being
two much head for it to hold up.
The heads were joined together
at the top, and it had one set of
ears. But it had plenty of eyes.
Besides two bright, well-made
eyes in the proper places near
the ears, it had two more near
the centre where the two heads
joined together, so that the two
middle eyes were nearly facing
each other. They were bright
and clear, also. tho not as large,
but the calf could evidently see
out of all four eyes at the one
time. Two Well-formed noses
and jaws completed the equip
ment, and it had two threats, al
so, but when itswallowed milk in
one throat, the other also con-
tracted. The body was large
and we'll formed.
A big effort was made to save
the animals life for show pur-
poses, but it was of no avail, for
it died Saturday night. Mack
Burnett, son of M. Burnett, was
much interested in the strange
visitor to their barn. and declar-
ed he was going to skin it and
have it stuffed for exhibition. A
calf with five legs was born in
this county several years ago,
but this is the first instance of
one with two heads.

CuIm Banks for Fuel.

Millions of tons of anthracite
coal, which have for twenty years
been lying in neglected heaps in
Pennsylvania, are to be made
available for use presently. Phila-
delphia papers note the great
culm banks in that state are to
be Immediately prepared for
market by the Philadelphia q
Reading railway.
Culm is the product of the hard
coal mine left over after the chest
nut and larger sizes have been
screened and removed. In the
three great anthracite fields OF
Pennsylvania there are many
culm banks 200 feet high and a
mile or more in length.
From these banks millions Of
tons of coal in sizes known as pea
and steam coal can be profitably
taken. Only within a few years
has it been possible to sell these
sizes, and the present fuel famine
had added to the demand.
Perhaps some good may come
out of even a coal famine

MOTHER.

l once had precious mother,
In this world below,
The Heavenly Father called her
And then She had to go.
She left this world of SORROW,
Gone to; that home above,
To live forever with Jesus,
Where all is peace and love.
Sometimes feel so lonely
Withoutmy mother here,
But the Saviour helps and cheers me,
In sorrow He is ever near.
In heaven there will be no sorrow,
No sickness, no sadness, no sin,
But all viii be Joy and gladness
In the world that never will end.
Sometime will meet mother
know not when it will be,
When my work on earth is ended,
Then the Savior will call for me.
We will never more say goodbye in
heaven,
For we never will part any more,
With the angels we will sing forever,
On the happy, golden shore.
l know will be so happy,
When dear mothers face see,
There I'll clasp her hand in the glory
land,
At rest in Heaven we'll be.
