Wlie Can Deal This V
Mrs Z. T. Harris, of this place, has a
sewing machine that has done faithful ser¬
vice for fourteen years ; but that is not
the point. The needle is, and it has not
worn out nor broken, but does good work
now. Very few people have ever seer, a
machine needle that was used steadily for
fourteen- years.
The A <& l-' Railroad,
From private letters we learn that the
track has been laid to pir.c mountain.
The mountain is just thirty miles above
this place, in Pike county. After the track
has lean laid past the mountain the work
will go on in a hurry.
There are about two miles of rough
grading to bo done between this place and
Meansville,. which the boss of the grading
force says can be completed before the first
of May with the force which he now has.
The report a few daye ago (which few
believed that the track would be laid to
Knoxville within GO days seems to have
hud good foundation. It is not out of the
question to build the road to this place by
the latter part of May.
