Mr. Sims, it seems, was raised in Chatta hoochee county, and when young moved to Waoo, Tex., wnere lit- resided uuti* the time While of his. death, about 17 ami year] ago. in Texas ue married a. a result of tho union two children were born. The wife lost not only hor hus band, but the two.children also, and they were buried side by side at Waco. Before bis death Mr. situs made the request that his remains be carried back to Georgia, his oid home, and in terred in me family burial ground ac Cusseta. For one reason or another Mrs. Sims did not carry out this request at once, and her husband's remains rested lor 17 years in the Waco ceme tery. Recently she decided to carry them back to Georgia ami to also carry' with her hush.urn’s body me remains of their two children, .'lie accordingly shipped the three bodie-. now only a collection of dry bones, and ai-> ■»-»’ with them tipi mono meins wnten had rested over their graves, it is -ai i ihe freight charges amounted to a m*ai •11111.

He has been John ton Williams’ right hand man. i’heap pointmeut of his friend and co-worker to the position Mr. indicated, Williams’ it would seem, is in line with policy. It is announced that upon ins promo tion to the position or' third vice presi dent Captain Me Bee will be succeeded by N. D. Afaher, at present suneriu tendeut of the Pocahontas division of the Norfolk and Western railway, whose capabilities iu the position now held by Captain McBee are well known to Mr. Barr, who was formerly general man ager of the Norfolk and Western.
