turbed by the agonies and cries of a suffering
child, and becoming convinced that Mrs. Wins
lows Soothing Syrup was just the article needed,
procured a supply for the child. On reaching
home and acquanting his wife with whathe had
DONE she refused t. have it administered to the
child, as she was strongly in favor of Hom9o-
pathy. That night the child passed in suffering,
and the parents without sleep. Returning home
the day following, the father found the baby
still worse; and while cOntempat ng another
seepleSs night, the mother stepped from Inc
room to attend to some domestic duties, and lell
the father with the child. During her absence

Excursion to Island Home"

Mr.. EDITOR: On last Saturday, May %,
Washington Church Sunday-school enjoyed
happy visit to the Island House, Col
onel Dickinson furnished conveyances for
large part of our school, and took special
pains to show to us all the beauties and
marvels of his delightful home
The colonel has specially favored Wash
ington Church in more instances than one
The ringing of our bell reminds us of his
generous gift little more than a year ago.
After returning from the picnic, the
colonel gave the school a reception at
his residence in the city, which was also
greatly appreciated
Some of the city lookers-on, who envied
us our happiness were inclined to make fun
at the idea of coming from the country tC
town for plcnic-and riding so far through
the hot sun. But we would inform them
that instead of coming to town for a picnic,
| we went as company of farmers families
on an excursion to one of the finest cult
waited farms III the United States. As to the
sunshine, that does not hurt US. We like it.
We are hardy race, with a great deal OF
sunshine IN our lives, with the glow of health
IN our faces, and breathing the pure air OF
freedom that specially belongs to House
Mountain and Grassy Valley. P.

st. Louis Railway Register: 1t is gener-
ally admitted that the owners of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia made a
great mistake in not purchasing the Atlantic.
Mississippi and Ohio, now the Norfolk and
Western, when they had the chance, for by
allowing it to go into the hands of strangers
they put it in the power of lhe purchasers to
choke off their Eastern outlet. This error,
which might have been disastrous in the ex-
IRENE, is supposed to have been caused by
the lack OF cohesion between the principal
owners Of the Cole system of roads few
days ago there was formed in New York q
powerful syndicate, Of which Mr.. Cole is to
be the head, which viii remedy all omissions
of the past. This new organization is COM
posed Of the purchasers of the Norfolk aud
Western, aud the principal stockholders
of the East Tennessee, Virginia and GeOr-
gia, Memphis and Charleston, Selma, Rome
and Dalton and Macon and Brunswick,
which altogether embrace over 1900 miles
of road, and it will at once proceed to per-
feet the system by building 800 miles more
| The principal ones of the new lines are
those between Atlanta and Rome and Allan
| ia and Macon, to be followed by an extern
| sion Of the latter to Chattanooga. The eff
! fects OF this consolidation upon the South
will be excellent and viii result in tie
building up Of Norfolk and Brunswick as
ocean ports. There viii be a good line from
Memphis to Norfolk and from the heart OF
the South Atlantic States and Eastern Ten
nessee to the Atlantic. The time is coming
when all kinds of production will be increased
and when there viii be demand for all the
surplus products of the country For tho
transportation of these the capacity of al
trunk lines viii be taxed, and steamers anC
sailing vessels will be running to every sea
port of any consequence along the whole
Atlantic coast. Even now the new system
will earn large sums but when the time W,
have predicted comes, the earnings Will b.
more than doubled, and the wisdom of tn
merging of the lines into one system will b.
demonstrated.
