When S. C. hosier came to
Trenton and asked thrt, Trenton
make a bid for the extensive Pitts
burg plant .about to be moved
south, many of us made conces
sions which we at the time thought
dispropotionate with Ihe benefits
we were to receive. What we did
was with’ grave doubts and a care
less indifference ever characteris
tic of our past manner of doing
things. Tim future characterized
us as being the “most utterly”
blind communi ly that God ever
placed upon tins earth.
We said .our hid wss too large,
while at heart we reccoued upon the
dollars eve would make should our
bid he accepted.
We thought other communities
incapable of seeing a good thing,
and supposed them, like ourselves,
too greedy to profit by ir.
Jasper is on top and Trenton is
in the lurch. The enterprising
land liberal people .of Jasper are to
j be commended for their good sense
and wise conduct, while a few
folks in Trenton ought to go out
and hang themselves. This being
done we are ready to profit by our
j past foolishness and bring Trenton
Ito the front. Let us quit being
fools and close fisted, selfish cranks
and put our shoulders to the
wheel, our money in the common
treasury and step to the front
where generous nature enables us
1 to lead.

That Will Not Down.
An extremely ignorant persons
may be a firm believer in ghostly
aparations, but one of a cultured
intellect never believes, yet he may
meet with a peronal experience
involving unexplainable sights and
sounds.
That Dado county has within all
her extensive boundary anything
akin to ghosts we will not pretend
to assert; but that the young men
of the furnace who have occasion
to travel the railroad a‘ night be
tween the furnace and Rising
Fawn, are losing sleep trying to
solve a mystery is certainly true.
Frank Corput. Dock Mcßrayer,
Jules Shropshire end other young
men equally temperate and relia
ble to-getherjwith several furnace
darkies have encountered what we
will call a ghost for want of a, bol
ter name. It appears upon the
railroad between the bridge and
the road crossing, sometimes black
and sometimes white, sometimes
large and sometimes small.
Frank Corput was walking from
Rising Fawn to the furnace one
night when he heard something on
the raiiroad behind him, turning
around he saw a dark mass of
something about the size of a large
dog but which had neither head
nor feet. A pistol shot caused die
object to vanish mysteriously Horn
sight. After going a few yards
further Fran k I coked back over hi s
shoulder only to see the same sight
only within a few feet of him.
Two pistol shots again caused the
mysterious object to disappear
without his seeing it any more.
Frank “toted” without looking
again for the ghost that night.
Jules Shropshire s-vw the same
object cross the load one night im
mediately in front of him and de
scribes it as resembling ‘a moving
wash-pot of goodly dimensions.”
Jules had’nt much vime'forpnvesti
gation as he bad started to the sa
loon for some whisky for Ed.
Brazeßon who had bouu bitten by
a snake.
Just after Jules had reached the
saloon a darkey came running in
with eyes standing out upon stems
and leportedhaving seen the same
thing at the same place. Those
who saw the darkey ut the time,
and are acquainted with Jules
won’t accuse Jules with fixing up
“corroborating circumstances.”
Dock Mcßrayer and a young man
pamed Howard fired several shots
at a “white ghost” at the road
crossing but to see the ghost disap
pear at each shot, only to return
again, grew monotinous after ten
ordweJve.shots had been fired, and
Dock remembering that he had left
his shop door open ran down to
close it—from the inside.
These little adventures are said
to he quite common with ihose who
travel the railroad at night.
We give only a few tacts as re
lated to us by the parti* who had
the extreme n!easure(?) of meet
ing a real ghost.
All who believe in theexisfance
of a ghost about Rising Fawn will
please pay up their subscription
account at once.
i'oat ;mil Iron
For several years Rising Fawn
iron made from Coal City coke and
Dade county ore, ranked with the
best grades of iron in the northern
market. Recently the Dade Coal
company, at the expense of $35,-
000 have erected a coal washing
machine, the onlv on* of its kind
in America. The Dade coke is
now pronounced by experts to be
equal, if not superior to the famous
Pochahontas coke.
With extensive veins of both
bard ana soft ore within one mile
of Trenton and this coal less than
two miles distant, why should
Trenton not be an iron manufac
turing town ? Why should New
England stand still with these
metals to be found wherever
sought ?
Dade county should he plastered
all over with the word “misman
agement.”
