SARDINIA LIVES IN THE PAST
Hand SIckIes and Wooden Plows
Drawn by Oxen Are Still In
Use on the Island.

Relics of Biblical pastoral life, plow-
ing with wooden hooks drawn by oxen,
reaping by the most primitive imple-
ments and other occupations of the
nomadic peoples Of antiquity remain
the manner of living today in Sardinia,
according to DR.. Alfred p. Dennis,
commercial attache of the United
States embassy at Rome, who has just
returned from the island after making
an exhaustive study into trade possl-
blities.
"Sardinians present living picture
Of the remote past which has been
stereotyped and handed down from
antiquity" said Doctor Dennis. "Wa-
ter wheels with earthen buckets, wood
en plows drawn by oxen, the scythe
and the sickle still in use in reaplng
vast fields-nomadic occupations I'M
changed since the days of the Aryan
Sispersion-tribal costumes as gay and
grotesque as the trappings of the me-
dleval pageant-all reproduced in the

bygone ages"

SOLDIER KILLED BY TRAIN
Ray Parker, Son Of Joe Parker, Meets
Death at Railroad Crossing,

The remains Of Ray Parker, 23-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Parker,
Cherokee, Alabama, were brought
here for interrment last week. The
family accompanied the remains.
1t seems that the young man was at
Fort Mcpherson, Ca, under govern
ment treatment as he had not fully
recovered from injuries received In
battle in France. He was crossing
some railroad tarcks and did not know
of an approaching train and was struck
and knocked senseless and his skull
fractured. He lived only few hours.
The remains were accompanied by
an army officer as well as the family.
The nterrment took place In the city
cemetery Saturday. The funeral
exercises were conducted by Rev. j.
l.. Cupp, of the M. E. church.
Mr.. Parker and family moved to
Cherokee, Alabama, few months
ago to work for Frazier & Self in a
stave mill. They have numerous
friends here who will sympatbize with
them deeply in their great bereave-
ment.

CLAIMS HONOR FOR GEORGIAN
Savannah Newspaper Asserts That
Elias Howe Was Not Inventor
Of the Sewing Machine.

The centenary of the birth of Elias
ed the sewing machine. took place on
June 9. There was no extended Of
servance Of the day, observes Hart
ford Courant, yet 1t was Howe who
took a good deal Of the drudgery out
of the lives of millions Of American
women. He also increased the power
Of his fellow men to produce garments
and other material that formerly
needed the patient handwork Of indi.
yiduals.
But 1t is interesting to observe, In
connection with the anniversary, that
the .i.e Savannah News undertakes the
rather hopeless task of trying to con-
vince its readers that 1t was not Howe,
but a Georgian, Francis r. Goulding,
who constructed and operated the first
sewing machine This paper says
that this man, Presbyterian preach
er living in Liberty county, married
Savannah girl and then began work on
a sewing machine in order that he
might save his fair wife much hard
work. Alleging this was long before
Howe patented his machine, and also
that Goulding never patented his, they
try to show his motives were purefy
altruistic and not commercial.
1t all sounds good, but 1t will take
considerable "space" in, the Georgia
newspapers to convince the world that
Goulding takes the prize.

BOUNDARY SOLD
Jos. 3. johnson Disposes Of Forty Mill
ion Feet to HI Rush Cooperage
Co. for SI44, ,000--WilI
Market Timber at Once.

sylvania, with an output of 1900
barrels daily.
1t is the intention of the purchaser
to locate about eight mills upon the
property and force of about 250 men
will be employed cutting the timber
into slaves and heading. The heading
will be shipped IN the rough to the
Hrriman Plant where they will be
finished into circled heading and then
shipped to the Main Plant at Oil City ;
the slaves will be shipped in the
rough from the. property also to Oil
City and manufactured there into bar
rels.
This will be good news to the people
of Crossville and Cumberland county
as it means large and extensive oper-
alton in our county tor the next several
years, which will give steady employ-
ment to large number of men,
In getting started on this boundary
of timber it will be necessary to build
a number of houses which will also
give employ to additional men.
The operations will begin near Crab
Orchard, and will start at once, and
J. w. Thornton, Superintendent tor
Mr.. Rush, at Hartman, wants to en-
ploy an immediate force and any one
wishing to work on this operation

handled by this bank.
