Dear Editor:
Please allow me space in your
paper to tell the Tennessee peo-
pie something about McRoberts.
KY, people of Roope especially.
We had very fierce wreck on
the l.. & N. r. R. Sept. Goth,
five miles from McRoberts, near
Seco, KY. Six were killed and
forty seven injured. The cause
of the wreck was an engine and
one coal car got loose at Neon,
KY, and ran into an accommo-
dation train loaded with passen-
gers, and being on the accom-
mediation train, riding in the
smoker, and mail car being al
most totally torn up. The. writer
received three cuts in the head,
right leg mashed very bad, left
arm bruised, but felt happy to not
be killed.
The Consolidated Coal Co. of
McRoberts, had several colored |
gentlemen on the train bound for |
McRoberts. Most all of them
were killed or crippled. Many
thanks to the people of Seco, KY,
for the great and kind hand offer
ed to the helpless people of the
accident.
Miners here are roaming every
lay, and they are needing miners.
Very good money can be made
here, but no place so much like
home to the writer as Roope, Ten
lessee.

WHEN Is THE WAR

Accompanying the. query Isn't thit
about as near as most any one cal

sends The Times the following which
may or may not be original, but never
theless is a unique reply to the question
so often asked:
WHEN WILL THE WAR END?
Absolute knowledge have none,
But my aunt's washerwoman's son
Heard policeman on his beat
Say to a laborer on the street
That he had letter just last week,
Written in the finest Greek,
From Chinese coolie in Tim buctoo,
Who said the niggers in Cuba knew
OF a colored man in Texas town
Who got it straight from a circus clown;
That man from Klondyke heard the
news
From gang of South American Jews,
About somebody in Borneo,
Who heard of man who claimed to
know
Of swell society dame
Whose sister-in-law will undertake
