G. & o. Extensions.

Railroad construction ON most rail
roads since the present financial depres-
sion set in has been practically at stand
still. Reports come from every direction
that no improvements are being made
by any of the roads. 1t is, therefore, a
matter of comment that the G. s. o. has
continued all through this dull season to
add to its facilities for handling freight
and passenger traffic Work is being
pushed ON the track on he south side of
New River, between Hawks Nest and
Thurmond, W. Va, and it will be open
for traffic in the early part of January.
This gives the G. 81 O. three tracks over
large stretch Of the New River district
as there is already long stretch of
double track on the north side of the
river. When the connection with
Hawks Nest is made IN January, the c.
&. 0. will have about 1875 miles of double
track west of Clifton Forge. and it has
practically geo miles Of double track east
of Clifton Forge. These improvements
are being carried on out of the earnings
of the road.-Stdnnton Vindicator.

The December number of The ReoieW
of ReUieaOS has "a Talk to Young Men
on Education" by Mr.. Walter Wren, a
distinguished English lecturer and lin
guist The article is one which we
advise every man, and child to read who
can read. Mr. Wren says that very few
persons can read. What is more morti-
flying, he proves his assertion to be true.
Fortunately, there is nothing to prevent
any ones learning to read, and any one
with such ambition will find Mr.. Wren s
article highly instructive. THE study
of natural SCIENCE" he says, SHOULD
come before all others. The works of
God are better worth studying than the
thoughts of man. We are organic be-
| ings of flesh and blood, walking the
surface of a planet in the solar system,
surrounded by solid, liquid, and gaseous
bodies, girt about with trees and shrubs
and herbs and moses, with beasts and
birds and fishes and insects. On our
Knowledge of these, their laws and prop
critics, depend our health, our happiness,
our very existence"

La Grippe.

During the prevalence of the Grippe
the past season it was noticeable fact
that those who depend upon Dr.. Kings
New Discovery, not only had speedy
recovery, but escaped all of the trouble
some after effects of the malady. This
remedy seems to have a peculiar power
in effecting rapid cures not only in cases
Of La Grippe, but in all Diseases Of
Throat, Chest and Lungs, and has cured
cases of Asthma and Hay Fever of long
standing. Try it and be convinced. 1t

railroads and the people of the South
will now promptly unite in vigorous
work to encourage the growing tenden-

characterized the work of the Western
States for many years. Because of these
facts the Southern States magazine will
henceforth be devoted mainly to the
immigration and real estate interests
of the South, and at the same time pre-
senting every phase of the South's gen
eral attractions and advantages for the
home-seeker and the investor with the
same energy with which the M0nufac-

to push forward the industrial growth
and interests of the South. She South>

field. 1t will continue from month to
month to publish the letters of North
ern and Western farmers who have set
tied in the South, telling of the advan-
tages of this section as compared with
their former homes. These letters are
attracting great attention in the North
ard West. 1t will set forth the attrac>
tions of the South for fruit culture, as
well as for every branch of agriculture;
it will publish special illustrated articles
covering the attractions of the South for

will be a general discussion of how to

twenty of the most prominent railroad
officers of the South. Mr.. r. H. Ed

REMEMBER AT DINNER THAT

Rapid eating Is slow suicide.
Plenty Of time should 10 taken.
Fish and oysters arc easily digcsted.
An hour or two of rcst should bc taken
after n meal.
Mere qualification of the appetite is very
likely to shorten life.
Dinner should be of a lighter nature in
summer than in winter.
II is not good to dine when in a state OF
mental or physical wcarincss.
There is a happy mean between eating
everything and being squcamish.
A quart of wheat contains more nutri
ment than n bushcl of cucumbcrs-
Two pounds of potatoes contain as much
nutriment as Is pounds OF turnips.
Light soups, light desserts and light
meats should have the preference in warm
weather.
Abuse of the stomach at dinner will he
repaid sooner or later by that punishment
which comes to the glutton.
Vegetables and fruits arc to DO used
most generously at that season of the ycaI
In which they naturally mature.
Beginning the dinner with soup IS th-
very best way to get the whole system in
condition for assimilating a hearty meal.
