October, let me sing of thee,
, Most beauteous month of all the
year.
In all thy gorgeous splendor
Thou are here.
Thou bringest the golden harvest
With fruit of tree and vine
Fulfilling the springs bright promises
And storing for winter time.
I stand in awesome silence
AS 1 contemplate the scene;
The purpling hills, the red, the gold,
And the quickly vanishing green.
Poets have sung thy glory;
Artists tried to paint thee, but in
vain.
Nature guards her secrets well
In sunshine, wind and rain.

RiUer Traffic Before
Days of "Iron Horse

Before the Civil war, fiatboating was
common along the Ohio river. When
autumn came, 1t was an everyday oc-
currence to see boats loaded with prod
uce passing by. There would be ap-
pies from Letart and Rome on the
upper Ohio cabbage, potatoes, salt
ana coal, all going to the cotton and
sugar plantations below Memphis and
Red river. Prior torthe Civil war, coal
was boated the same as other products
to the lower river. After that period.
coal began to be carried in barges
draWn by towboats Twenty, thirty,
forty and fifty years ago, immense
lows of coal were brought out from
Pittsburgh whenever the Ohio was suf-
flciently high. Those were the days
OF Second Pool" and Fourth Pool"
1ohogany coal, and millions of bush
els were brought down the river by
these powerful towboats.
After the war, the fatboating in
terests gradually gave way to the rail-
way. More and more the railways
opened up the country until fatboat-
Ing became losing business and was
hnally abandoned. The country west
OF the Mississippi became settled. The
produce raised there was delivered to
the railway by the Southern markets
more quickly and more cheaply than 1t
could be delivered by the boatmen.
The lower Mississippi, which was once
known as paradise both for the
steamboat man and the flatboat man,
has almost lost It's reputation Of old
days. The days Of the big cotton and
passenger steamboats,, and Of the
broadhorn and Its jolly crew have
gone forever, AZ have the red man and
