Annual ► be re-Judge Buskirk and family have beenbreathing moantain air and enjoying beautiful scenery around Cumberland Gap, Tenn., the past ten days. This is one of the spots where the Judge was a former visitor forty years ago, as the writer well remembers. At that time, however, there was not a human being residing within several miles of this romantic spot. At this time there are two prosperous, thriving little cities on either side of the Gap, viz: Midlesboro, Ky., and Cumberland Gap, Teun. About midway between the two little cities on. the mountain-top is a largeflat rock with a marker, indicating that at this point the three states of Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia come together. Judge Buskirk relates a pretty good story in connection with the cornering of the three states at this point. During the war the “boys*’ in passing through Cumberland Gap, would climb to the pinnacle and get astride the marker, and, with their hands on the rock would be standing with one foot in Kentucky, one in Tennessee .with their hands in Virginia, thus, being inthree states. The Judge was in a*party of o*d “vets” a few years ago at Indianapolis when this incident of Cumberland Gap and “being in three states at once” was under discussion. Judge Buskirk asserted that when he passed through there he performed the feat of climbing to the top of the rock and was in four states. Of course the entire party took issue with the Judgeinsisting that he was-wrong. ‘Til justie Re rPost, » to all le sne-fcended manly busi-con vince every one of you,” said the Judge, “that I am right.” “Well, but you can’t do it,” said all his comrades, but then we’ll hear what you’ve got to say about it.” “All right” said Judge B. “I was in the state of Kentucky, wasn't IT* “Certainly” “1 was in Tennessee.” “Certainly.” “I was in Virginia.” “Yes,” they all replied in unison. “Well” said Judge Buskirk, “you all know derned well that I was in a* state of intoxication.”—Salem Democrat.TRIPLTwo Poiiciof SBULLETS I THREE TKWIPolicemen John Reddin; Mills engage* midnight Th clubs were and when th were wound* twice, once i: in the back, dozen ugly slt; policemen’s c once, the ba the left chee) left ear and lt;neck.
