ASBESTOS BUZZING
Just from the Mountains.
Some of our young people went
over to Alto Tuesday to have an
X-ray picture made of their lungs
to determine whether they hud
tuberculosis or not.
Messrs Robert Turner and
Howard McAfee were up this way
Tuesday. Howard has grown a
lot since lie used to work on the
Blood Mountain tramway and lias
about decieded to join the bntche
lor’s club.
The ice wagon passed yesterday.
People can now have ice in the
summer. A fellow went toGaines
viile in August and saw them mak¬
ing ice. He went back home and
told it and they turned him out of
tlie church for iieing.
\V. II. Craig lias told about an
old time darkie who lived in pover*
ty but invested “a wheel” in the
Louisiana lottery and got back
5,000. His prosperity friends now
flocked in like yellow j ickets in ap¬
ple time. He soon ate himself into
iiis grave. The coffin with the
tenement of clay was carried to the
little church in darktovvn. There
they offered prayers and songs for
tlie journey ot the departed spirit.
Along down in the wee small hours
just before day they heard a gentle
tap, tap, tap on the coffin and they
saw tlie winding sheet move. I heir
Their eyes stood out on stems and
one by one they had all left the
church except the corpse. On an
investigation by a policeman a lit¬
tle white dog was in a chair at the
head of the corpse under a sheet.
He. had. crept in amnnljced, fla.d
been faithful in adversity and prcn
perty and was now faithful in
death This brought to mind the
life of tiie well known. Aunt
Nancy Boone, who lived all affine
in a little log cabin near a little
mountain spring. She was a rela¬
tion of Daniel Boone, a pioneer
hunter of the dark and bloody
grounds of Kentucky. She had
been married and reared an only
son, who had gone to the wild and
wooly west and once visited her
wearing a long beard. Her homes
was a curiosity shop. ' After while
she grew feeble and sick and was
carried to the home of her nephew,
Uncle Jimmie Merrit, who last his
eyes at Gettisburgh, and who Paul
Grant told was worth 15 cents ii
shirt tail. When Aunt Nancy got
mad at Uncle Jimmie she would al¬
ways tell him that the Yankee
shot out his eyes but not his mean¬
ness. So finally Audi Nancy grevv
very sick one night. The doctors
and neighbors told that she would
not live to another sun rise. S<
they kept 11 close watch. Just be
fore day all grew sleepy. After a
cat nap they heard a rattle of the
dishes in the kitchen. There was
something dressed in white walk¬
ing there. It looked much like tin
ghost of Hamlet. They spoke very
low to it and it answered back. It
was Aunt Nancy eating cold pok.
salad. She lived years after this
and went back to her little log
cabin. But site went the way of
all flesh and bone and the little log
cabin has gone too but the spring
is just as it was years ago.

By 1. O. I!. Morethan
The farmers through tins part
are having a lot to do trying to
keep their crops clean and
their grain in the meantime, but
they will all pull through well
enough if the big rains like we’ve
had lor the last few days don’t
keep coming to oiler.
Seems like we are not going to
get our sack of government flour.
Well, if we don’t we ate going to
get a Model T Ford and hunt up
some hay wire and old tin cans
up her in first class shape, pass a
bad check on some fellow for a
gallon and three quarts of gas, an
old salmon can full of out oil, pour
a barrel of waterjjm the radiator,
stick a Inink of corn .bread in our
pockets, crank up old lizzie, Imp in
and make a bee line for Washing¬
ton.
We bear people talk of hard
limes when maybe there are two or
three Vo Vos in the family and
some times five or six pretty good
dogs.
From tlie beginning man was
supposed to work, and tlie laborer
is worthy of his iiire. So when
tlie hired man’s wages are cut his
purchasing power is weakened,

vVhen business fails money shys
it’d tlie wliele county goes to the

vvejjstep on the working man’s
wages it takes a little time for
iverythtng to get cheap, and when
hat happens. Well, what is it
