would put these two city court terms at

interfere considerably with the business of

The officials of the Georgia and Alabama
railroad are still anxiously awaiting the
decision of the supreme court in the in
junction case that was carried before it
by certain OF the citizens of Americas to
prevent the road from moving its general
offices from that eityoto Savannah. For
the past few weeks the decision Of the
court has been expected. 1t was thought
that it would without doubt be handed
down about two weeks since, but the ma
chinery of the law requires more time
If the judgment of the court should prove
favorable to the road there would be no
further reason to prevent its moving the
offices. In the meantime, the offices that
have been rented here and put in order
for occupat ton by the forces of the sew
eral departments are standing idle, with
the exception of those intervals during
which they are used by the general Of
ficers when they come to the city on
their business trips, An attorney, who
was in Atlanta day or two ago, said
that he was told while there that the SUI
preme court would possibly take up the
case, which has already been argued, to-
morrow. and that, if 1t is not considered
then, it will be left over until the first
Monday in December.

In the awards at the Tennessee Centen-
NAL exposition the Southern railway was
deservedly fortunate, receiving for its
splendid and varied exhibit one gold, three
silver medals and twelve diplomas and
bronze medals. No other railway was
given so many awards, and no other ex-
hbit received so many evidences of excel
lence. The exhibit, as a whole, covered
the resources and products of the country
along the lines Of the Southern railway in
Virginia, North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, East Ten
nessee and Kentucky. The gold medal
was given for the splendid display of ores,
minerals, etc, from along the line of the
road. The judges, in their award spoke
of the evident care shown i'm the collec-
ton and arrangement of the exhibit and
its attractiyeness. and said: THE exhibit
contains an excellent display of the ores
of iron, copper, manganese, gold silver,
lead, zinc, nickel and aluminium, as well
as typical specimens of coal, fire clay,
corundum, kaolin, mica, graphite, etc"
The medals were the highest awards in
agriculture, horticulture and forestry ana
the Southern railway was the only exhib-
itor to obtain all three. Other awards were
for the collection Of mineral waters, man.
ufactured cotton goods, semi-porcelain
ware etc. In the horticultural depart
ment the Southern undoubtedly had the
finest display of apples, but as the exhibit
was placed late no application was filed

Do You Use 1T?

It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances,
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair, The utmost
that can be done is to pro.
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayers Hair Vigor. It re-
moves dandruf, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
Just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour-
ished, But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
if YOU wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use
