A recent publication OF the maya
zine Crit" contains an interesting
article about an old negro. "Uncle
Berry" Fowlkes. who lives near
Gates. Tenn, and who has lived un.
der the administration of every presi-
dent OF the United States. He is
claimed to be 1876 years old and the
oldest man in the United States. He
was IL years old when Washington
died and was 81 when Robert Full
ten launched the first steamboat.
Born a slave, Uncle Berry serv-
ed many years on the plantations
in South Carolina and Tennessee. He
was sold for $3.50 Just before the CT
vii War. and in his youth was used

foredoomed to failure. Webb swan

One day not long ago a swiftly
moving car ran over a rabbit dog
belonging to NJ. F. Foley, proprietor
of the Great Northern Nursery. The
accident happened near the packing
house and residence on the corner OF
I, the nursery grounds. Mr.. Foley was
there at the time and picked the dog
up for dead. He was limp, did not
have much breath. and seemed to
have an injured back. The owner
carried the injured animal off the
road, told the tenant to dispatch the
! animal and mourned the dog for
dead. Near a fortnight after as Mr..
Foley was walking through his or

and determined steps to GUST the
Louisville & Nashville railroad from
tage between the Erato and St. Jo-
by the dock board and officials and
attorneys for the company will be
asked to appear at special meeting
to show cause why they should not
relingulsh the space.
The land in question was given to
the railroad by the Negro legislature

the dock board was organized a de-
mand was made upon the railroad for
possession of the strip. the conten-
ton being made that the river front
was dedicated to the people in the
Louisiana purchase and that no part

corporation.
The railroad has a small shed on
the wharf. The latter is used by the

materials from cars to barges to be

board has planned for several year

provided, and in 1915 the railroad
was induced to agree to give up the
frontage an sufficient ground to ac-
commodate the structures But q

unsettled and since then the railroad
