THE GULF SHORE.

A representative of the Light
through the courtesy of General Man.
ager Henry Terrell, was taken to the
end of the track last Thursday and
shown over the grounds Of the big
bridge now under construction over
the CibolO creek, and had the contem-
plated work on the extension fully ex-
planned. The road bed is in splendid
condition for a dirt road. The new
time table which went into effect last
Monday makes it convenient for COM
mercial men and those wishing to see
the work going on at the end of the
track.
The train in charge of the genial
"ConductOr-Train Master-Express A
gent-and Baggage Master" 1. L.
Thomas left here at 8 o'clock and ar
rived at the Cibolo near Sutherland
Springs at 9:47 a. m.
The approach to the. main span of
the new bridge is now under way and
the work of driving the pilings, some
of which are eight feet long, will be-
gin next week.
Mr.. Terrell is of the opinion that it
will be nearly six weeks before trains
can cross the river. Track laying on
the already completed grade will then
continue right along until Stockdale is
reached.
Not including stops, the Gulf Shore
train makes splendid time for a mix
ed one, going over twenty miles an
hour

A PEOPLE OF FEW WORDS.

Let your speech be yea, yea, and
nay, nay" says the Good Book, ''for
whatsoever is more than these cometh
of evil" The Shakers abide by the
spirit of this rule. Their words are
few, simple, sincere and direct. They
waste no energy in idle talk; they use
it in thinking and doing. And what
ever they do they do with their might.
They are content with nothing short
Of the essence and principle of the
things they investigate. They take
pains and are patient. And thus the
doors Of many strange truths open to
them. In this way they discovered
what may almost be called the unity
of disease. A venerable Shaker says
of it: 1T is said that one mans meat
is another mans poison. That is but
half the truth. Any mans meat is
any mans poison, under certain condi-
tons. If the grain never got further
than the hopper we should never
have bread; and If bread never got
further than the stomach we should
never have strength. When the stom-
ach is torpid, helpless and inflamed
the food lies in it and rots. This fer
ihcutdIioh pIOuuCtS pOiSOuS WHICH
may, and often do, disorder every 9TH
er organ and function Of the body.
This is indigestion or dyspepsia. with
many symptoms and DISCUSSES. Cure
it and you cure nine-tenths of your
complaints" These words Were ut
tered many years ago. Since then
they have found a remedy, now known
as the Shaker Digestive Cordial. It is
made from medical plants cultivated
by them. 1t is a food and dieests
other foods. Taken while eating it
rests the stomach and nOurishes the
system. The pain and distresses of
dyspepsia disappear before it. 1t pre-
vents fermentation and soon restores
full power to the digestion. 1t sue
ceeds in the worst cases. 1t is worthy
the name of the people whose name
it bears. Any druggist will sell you
a trial bottle for 10 cents.

What the SPECIAL Committee Recon-

What the SPECIAL Committee Recon-
mends IN the Case.
Some time since the city council
appointed a committee composed OF
j. /. Thompson, o. T. Barker and
VIM. Claggett to assess damages and
determine what property would be
benefited thereby. This committee
filed its report at the last meeting OF
the council, aud makes the following
recommendations:
No claim for damages having been
made by property owners, except Mrs.
G. II. Hall, and Mr.. and Mrs. o. A.
Waller. who ask reasonable c0mpen-
sation, the Others are presumed to
have waived their righns to.damages.
The committee therefore assess the
damages at the sum OF $500, Mrs.
Hall being entitled to $500, and Mr..
and Mrs Waller to $3.50.
"a majority Of the committee be-
lieve that the abutting property
owners should pay for this improve
ment, aud recommend that they
assessed an equal amount per foot,
fronting both north and south on said
Court street, after the same is
opened, sufficient TO raise the aboYe
named amount" The report is signed
by T. o. Barker and J. l. Thompson.
Mr.. Claggett dissenting, Will probably
lie a minority report.
