OLD VALISE
RENDERS HISTORY

An old valise in the possession
now of Mat Pryor of Whitwell,
rendered up some history this
week. 1t was examined as to its
contents by w. S. Pryar, manag-
er of the Farmers Supply Co..
Jasper. Among other things was
found a letter written in 1876 by
a brother of his grandfather, who
was about to return from the war
with Mexico. He did not return
however but died while en- route
of fever, but the old valise was
sent to his relatives and it has
been unopened for years until its
contents were forgotten. In this
letter the writer speaks of the
building of the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga & St. Louis railroad from
Nashville to Chattanooga. and
his remark that it undoubtedly
would mean much towards the
advancement of Sequatchie Val
ley" shows that even in that
day there were people who looked
forward for every move of the
kind as one to make things better.
