Crawling slowly about potato

farm near Monongah is a teHrapin
which has spent at last three
score years in the vicinity Of that
potato patch and nobody knows
how much longer. The terrapin
was found the other day when
Louis Nixon was digging potatoes,
the first time that it has made
its appearance since 1909.
The initials of William X. Rus,
sell which were inscribed on the
terraptn's shell in 1856 are very
distinct. William Russell was the
father of Thomas Russell OF Mo-

1t was recently stated by man interested In
port development that Pensacola twelve hours
nearer the sea than Mobile and twenty-four hours
nearer than New Orleans, means that a ship max
ing this port six times a year would save six days
as contrasted with Mobile. and twelve contrast
ed with New Orleans.
This represents only saving In time. but
1t is estimated that the amount of money saved
would feed a ships for three months
