If Johmson's A,aody1ae Imminent is
half as valuable as people say it is, no
family should be without it. Certainly
no person, be he lawyer, doctor, min

No sailor, fisherman, or woodsman

THE Recent Accident en the Caro-

Co. S. L. Fremont dispatches us as
TO lows from Charlotte, relative to the
re.ent accident on the Carolina Cen
trial:
"The accident on the Western Di-
vision of this Railway was caused by
the train being thrown from the track
and in that condition running entirely
across the bridge. The bridge was
strong enough to carry three times the
weight Of this train and was safe SO
far as the management believed. The
same accident might have happened
to any bridge."
