RAILROAD SHOWING
BUSINESS INCREASE
Furloughed Men Being
Brought Back To Work
Equipment Repaired

The railroads, always a reliable
barometer for business, are show
ing decided increase at the
present time. At least a 20 per
cent local increase was shown in
October this year, over October
1888.
Increase is shown in both local
business. in and out of Hagers-
town. and the business passing
through Hagerstown east and
westbound, north and southbound.
The increase is evident in prac-
tically all commodities, especially
IN that of coal and iron and steel
shipments and construction ma
terial, generally.
Furloughed trainmen are being
brought back to work. some Of
these men having been off duty
for some considerable time. En-
gines and cars are being repaired
and reconditioned for service.
Men have been recalled at
Brunswick who had not worked
for four or five years. The hump"
at Brunswick on the B. e o. east
bound yard has been re-opened
and it is understood that the
company is figuring on opening
the westbound yard also.
One evidence of the increase in
the demand for steel is cited by
a local merchant. He receives
baled goods in which steel bands
are used to hold the bales to-
gether. The price of just this
scrap has increased many times
over in recent days.

My experience over on the
corner was crowded with thrills.
Tooether with brave friend OF
mine well call him Henry, be-
cause he's operating under tne
Hatch law we entered the
building about nine ooiocK' and
started our tour. We climbed
stairs, peeped into the far cor
ners of the various offices and
vaults and finally reached the
TOP floor. Tnen and only then
did We realize that we had be-
come lost. We should have
brought some sheiied corn along
with US!
Up near the top we met an
old man and asked for dlrec-
tions. He was a long, skinny
fellow with a flowing beard. |
fioured it was Father Time, but
Henry came back and said he
was sure this was the guy who
invented the parking meters. We
were both wrong. "Directions?"
says he; "why, brother I've been
trying to get out of here for six
weeks. I'm lost, too. BY the
way, who's winnin' the war?'
he inquired.
II was no dice here so we con-
tinued our journey. From dis
lance we heard old Ferdinand
moaning. The wind cut through
the open windows! Mr.. Hatch
was getting desperate. 1t was
way past his grub hour and he
knew his family would be getting
frantic. They'd never think OF
searching for him in the City
Hall. He leaned out of the win
dow and Yelled. Here's a can

taken about that cannon stuff.
1t was one of them contraptions

Strange as it seems, a piece OF
Irvine saved US. We discovered
it along the wall way up there
and followed it as a bloodhound
follows a scent. We just grab
bed that thing and started walk

More Horse Talk
From Mack Unger

now | sure do get a kick out of putting
things off, missed last week just be-
cause of that, missed getting married
a long, long time, same reason, but,
let's forget that and get back to horses.
The foundation family of our present
day Walking Horse is not very clear to
ma and | can only name a few, such
as the Halls, Wilks, Pilot, McMeens
Traveller, Henry Clay's and Copperbot-
tom. this last horse being an imported
horse and was great horse in his day
Then we find thtat during the Civil War
the Yankees left fine saddle mare at
Boonville, Tenn. She was with foal
and this foal proved to be Grey John
a grandson of Copperbottom. Accord
ing to j. d. Luna, Grey John in his day
was the most noted saddle horse in
Middle Tennessee. Capt. Boone, his
owner, states that this horse had walk
ed flatfooted eight miles an hour many
times, winning for himself the name
Walking John. Mr.. Luna says that fol-
fifty years he kept this Grey John blood
pure and finishes with the statement
ave loved these horses like folks and
/ think there never was a better saddle
horse bred in Tennessee. They could
make a poor man feel rich and sick
| man feel we'll, such pity to let that
blood vanish-they are all gone"
Although the pure Grey John as statet
| by Mr.. Luna, has about vanished, We
still have quite bit of this blood in
todays Walking Horse. Will get te
some of this next week.

Wilmington Endorses
Timber Conservation

Congressman Will NJ. Wilmington ap-
pearing before the House Subcommittee
on Agricultural Appropriations, urged
that an appropriation of at least $780,
600 be made for forest management in
Southern bottom lands. In support of
his arguments Mr.. Wilmington said:
Fifty million acres, or one-fourth of
the forest area of the South, including
the valley of the Mississippi river and
the river bottoms in every Southern
state, grow hardwoods.
"one half of the lands in the Missis-
sippi valley are woodland" he declared
with go per cent owned by small land
owners and farmers who desire to sup
plement their cotton farm income by
growing timber.
THE Southern bottom lands represent
one of the most urgent forest situations
in the United States. Development OF
practical methods of rehabilitation and
management is essential to placing the
forestry industry in this region on a
sound basis. There is need for research
and information for farmers to rehabili-
tate their timberlands. Better and more
valuable timber should be grown. Ade-
quate information should be made avail
able to farms and cut-over lands to
enable the owners to manage the forests
as going business. Proper methods OF
fire protection are essential"

Because the man / buy from helps
his part of town, county and state taxes,
Because the man I bbuy from helps
support my schools, my lodge, my church
my home.
Because when i'll luck, misfortune or
bereavement comes, che man ! buy from

Because ! can not expect the support
of any community which l, myself do not

Because much can be gained by intel
ligent cooperation of the citizens of our
community.-Tunica Times Democrat.
