From the O0aambas lGA.l Inquirer.
Just as the 5:35 p. m. eastward bound
fast mail train was steaming out Of
opelica n hack containing three Irish
gentlemen drove up to the depot Of the
Western Railroad, only 10 be told that
the train that they were in search Of
was just disappearing beyond the curve.
Business OF the most pressing nature de-
manded their presence In Columbus at
8 O'Clock. The hack which had brought
them TO the depot had left, 50 nothing
remained for them to hire but a four-ox
team, the animals Of which were help
ing their driver TO finish n handful Of
sugar-cine fodder and a pone OF corn
| bread.
-Fiye dollars" said one, Mr.. Col
Inns. ito carry US 10 Columbus"
"Fiye dollars more" said another,
Mr.. cooney. Ito carry US there by 8
O'Clock.
"Fiye dollars more" said the third,
Mr.. Bruton, Ito get in ahead Of the
train"
So much money TO be made, all 10 two
hours and twenty minutes, set the dri-
yer crazy. lie looked at his team for n
moment and then at the thirty miles
which lay between him aud Columbus,
and then ut the probable and partly pos-
sible SIS to be made by fulfilling the
gentleman's desires.
"I'se yer man, boss" he said, and
cracking his rawhide whip, he noun
ted his cart and started on his jour
ney-
The first mile was made in slow time,
but after that they warmed up, and In
an hour they had caught up with the
train, on the east side Of Salem. The
darkness of the evening prevented the
passengers on the train from seeing the
race, but the train, with its red light
and fiery furnace, was distinctly visible
TO. the ox-cart passengers, n they
whirled over the wagon road that lay
alongside the railroad, and they were
more and nor delighted rs they saw
the distance increasing between them.
At Smiths station the mail train was
entirely lost sight Of, and in two hours
from the time the cart lad left Opelica,
the rattle Of its wheels might be heard
as 1t rolled over the upper bridge into
Columbus.
''Boys," said Collins, rs soon as they
had domiciled at a hotel, 1--WE have beat
en- the train by twenty minutes; let us
go up to the depot and see 1t creeping

CoUGus. = "Broun's Bronchial
1foches" are used with advantage to
alleviate CoUoHs, SORE THROAT,
TI0Ns. For thirty years these Troches
have been in use, with annually increas-
ing favor. They are not new and I'M
tried, but having been tested by wide
and constant use for nearly an entire
generation, they have attained well
merited rank among the few staple
remedies of the age.
THE TnRoAT-'Brotrn's Bronchial
1roches" act directly on the organs OF
the voice. They have IN extraordinary
effect in all disorders Of the Throat and
Larynx, restoring a healthy tone when
relaxed, either from cold or over exer-
tion Of the voice, and produce a clear
and distinct enunciation. Speakers aud
S6,gers find the Troches useful.
A COUCH, COLD, CATARRH or Sore
Throat requires immediate attention,
as neglect sometimes results In some
incurable Lung Disease. "Bro,cn'S
Bronchial Irochss" will almost inva-
riably give relief. limitations are Of
fered for sale. many Of which are injur-
ious. The genuine ..Brotcn's Bronchial
1roches" are sold only IN bones.
