We do not knows why
SCOTS Emulsion of cod liver
oil is SO useful in those simple
but varied conditions which
you know as " having a
cough" We cannot explain
it: we only know the fact
from experience.
1t may be due to the CON-
bination of tonic effects of
cod-liver oil and the hypo-
phosphites it may be partly
due to the glycerine. There
are many effects in medical
practice the causes of which
appear to be plain, but how
those causes produce those
effects we do not know at all.

An Interesting Exhibition Of Speed on
the Caligraph- Fine Work.


w. H. Beardsley, the gentlemanly
Western manager for the Caligraph
writing machine, was in the city yes
terday and gave exhibitions of the
work of this excellent Typewriter at
the Academy and at the rooms of the
Commercial school. Mr.. Beardsley
was accompanied by his stenographer,
Miss Bertha Parker, who, although
she has less than two ears'experience
on the Caligraph, has acquired speed
rot often attained by many years of
practice on other type.writers. There
were quite number of students and
others present at these exhibitions
yesterday, and all were much pleased
with the work of this perfect machine.
On familiar work Miss Parker wrote
with ease 1866 words per minute, and
on wholly unfamiliar work, business
correspondence and copying from
books, this lady wrote 80. words per
minute. Think of it--an average of
two and two-thirds words per second
on familiar work, and of one and one
half words per second on unfamiliar,
every day business writing. The sim
plicity of the Caligraph and the perfect
arrangement of its keyboard in
grouping and combination of letters
inathe order in which they are often
est used, and the convenience
Of the double spacing arrangement
are characteristics of the Caligraph and
make this speed attainable. Indeed
Mr.. Beardsley claims for his machine
that person can write faster on it
after ten days practice than with a
pen. He claims that it is the only
machine that is adjustable in all its
wearing parts, and for this reason as
Caligraph as on new machine
of any other make, while its d.
rect action enables it to do perfect
work at high rate of speed, while
much of the work on the other ma
chimes is so blurred as to be almost
unintelligible. This fact is appreci-
ted by the Postal and Commercial
telegraph cable companies, several ex-
press companies and other large cor
porations that demand the best class
of work of high rate of speed, and
have officially adopted the Caligraph.
The Caligraph is manufactured by
the American Writing Machine Co.,
at Hartford, Conn, and Coventry,
Eng, while it does business in every
civilized country on the globe. w.
H. Beardsley, IA w. Fourth street,
Cincinnati, is the manager, and w. o.
Brandon, at this office, will take
pleasure in showing the machine to
parties here.

Broke His N eek.

Yesterday afternoon George Crouch,
the Third street grocer, sent his de.
livery wagon to South GAINESVILLE,
Returning, while coming down the
hill in the rear of DIR. Marable's, the
shaft broke and the horse was unable
to hold the wagon. He ran down on
the fiimsy bridge and onto the rail
ing, which gave way, and horse
wagon and driver were precipitated
into the gulch, 80 feet below. The
horse was instantly killed, the wagon
reduced to kindling wood, and the
colored driver, Will Johnson, was
considerably bruised. Mr.. CrOuch''
loss is fully 800.
The LEAF-CHRoNICLE has more
than once called attention to thi'
bridge and the bad condition of thu
street leading to it, and those whC
know its condition are not surprised
at this mishap. 1t is dangerous anc
has been for some time.

An Interesting Question.

The GAINESVILLE u Princeton rail,

& Texas Called 50 because it did not
touch any of the States named) is a
great road. Heretofore they have
run One-mind you, one-passenger
train between GAINESVILLE and Prince
ton every day, but on next Friday
this one will be taken off and passen
gers will ride on freight train with
a passenger coach attached. Truly,
the world do move, but the trains on
the G. q p. hardly ever do.-Ne'O Era.
And this brings up an interesting
question: If the one train day has
had the effect of drying Hopkins
Vile up, what would she be now il
there had been two trains each way
per day on the G. Il p? Truly she
would be "swunk up" to nothing,
and her site veritable Sahara.

They take it by streets and never

Their paVements are Systematically

To See the Battle Flags.

Very early this morning crowds of
people gathered around the door Of
Fox & Smith to see the two old Con-
federate battle flags that were swung
out by Capt. Smith. One of these
belonged to the 14th and the other 10
the Goth Tennessee regiments, and
both show signs of hard service, hav-
Ing gone through many hard fought
battles and come out riddled with
bullet holes. Those were trying
times, twenty-five years ago, and
brave men courageously bore these
old flags to the front.
