FOR La JUNTA SHOPS.
Santa Fe Putting in Large New Air
Compressor.

The facilities of the Santa F'e shops
at La Junta, Col, will be greatly in
creased in few days by the master
mechanic placing in operation large
air compressor which was shipped to
that point from the east some days ago.
The new compressor is exactly similar
in make to the big compressor in opera
ton at the Santa Fe shops in this city,
and has a capacity of about half the
capacity of the latter. The new COM
pressor will be operated in addition to
a small compressor which has been in
operation at the La Junta shops for
several years. Its operation will mean
a great saving of time and labor at the
La Junta shops, as the supply of air
from the old compressor has been in
adequate for some time.

them to ship all their freight over the

these companies helped the association
in its fight for cheap fares. Further
than this, the railroad committee of the
association sent out with each circular,
cards furnished by the traffic depart

lines of these two companies, and re-
quested that the same be hung in ship

BY sAwDtsT.
G. HEUCK & son.

Good weather-fine rain last week.
The gardens are refreshed.
The deputy sheriff is pushing around
In Wellman. We suppose that he is
hunting witnesses. But he has caused
several to draw long breath when he
is going toward them.
The two young Messrs. Brent we're
visitors here Sunday and took an &C
tive part in the singing. Come again,
boys, we are glad to have you with us.
Old father Beason and his daughter
we're visitors here Wednesday. Bro
Beason looked we'll, considering his
age.
Mr.. Scutt was called away to Brook
haven this week to serve as juror.
Don't forget the entertainment next
Sunday night. We would be glad to
have a visit from the editor at that
time.
DIED.-On Wednesday, May II, Matt
Hester, the invalid who has been suf-
fering so long, fell asleep, after three
days severe illness. He left the as
surance that all was we'll. AS he had
no relatives here to look to, the Good
Samaritan picked him up and cared
for him like brother. His last words
we're, "All is we'll" Mr.. Fugua
didn't seem to regard expenses
in caring for MIR. Hester, which
is one of the many evidences that he
has noble heart beating in his breast
To "Jeems":- The trouble with our
bad boys is that they won't stay in the

pei at them that it pins them to their

more. We suppose that the gatline
gun will be turned loose on them next
week.

Crystal Wedding.

The crystal cards announcing a
Crystal Wedding we're issued some
days ago by Rev. and Mrs. b. F. Jones;
and in response to these bright mes
sengers, more than hundred friends
gathered on Monday evening, May 18th,
at the pleasant Methodist pastors par
sonage, to extend their cordial con-
CALCULATIONS to the worthy and popu-
lar couple, who fifteen years ago built
their shrine of love stedfast and true,
the immortal glow of which has shone
through all the years and made time
seem young and life thing divine.
On this suspicious occasion "the
bridal couple" stood again beneath a
bower of roses, as brightly blooming as
in years agone, and with their charm
ing bridesmaids, Mesdames Chas. Nc
Nair and L. H. Bowen, presented a
handsome picture within the prettily
| decorated parlor. The minister, Rev.
w. b. Lewis, who performed the cere-
mony that united the lives of Rev. B.
F. Jones and Miss Kate Linfleld in 49,,
was present, as were also others who
witnessed the happy event. Mesdames
r. H. Thompson, j. w. Chambers and
b. T. Hobbs assisted in receiving,
while bevy of pretty college girls
served in the refreshment rooms. The
numerous and elegant crystal gifts
were the centre of admiration during
the entire evening, second only to the
worthy pair in whose honor and be-
cause of whose popularity so many
tokens had been sent all through the
hours of the notable day. kilograms
of congratulations and messages of
love from far and near found also
ready response in the hearts of the ap-
preciative recipients. g
A more social and pleasant gather
ing of every creed and calling has
never been held in our city; and there
were many mental resolves by the
younger married people present, that
Crystal Weddings hereafter should not
be rare occasions in Brookhaven.
Let's reason now together
If fifteen years have brought such pleasant
weather,
VIII not the heights Of bliss be reached
When crystal clear the golden" days aP-
pear
When Heaven draweth nearer?
There never yet were hearts or skies
Clouds might not wander through,
Nor roses blooming without thOrns-
Yet, may we not wish to you,
That sweet contentment round you throw
Its bliss thro' all the coming years?
May life's stream still unruffied run,
AS bright as morning shine its evening sun,
Until Its victories all are won,
Through faith-cOme joys or tears.

An Electric Light Company.

Mr.. r. S. Stearns, representing the
Fort Wayne Qnd.) Electric Corpora
ton, was in town yesterday, and effect
ed sale of an electric light plant to
Messrs. M. c. McGrath, formerly of H.
linois, and Mr.. Luther Harvey, of this
city. These gentlemen propose to sup
ply the city with an electric light sys.
tenn as early as it is practicable to put
it in, and ordered at once $1,000 worth
of electrical machinery and fixtures
from the Fort Wayne company. 1t is
expected that some of the machinery
will arrive in two weeks, and that the
system will be ready for operation in
GO or 80 days. Mr.. McGrath is an ex-
perienced electrician, and Mr.. Harvey,
who is Brookhaven boy and one of
the projectors of the Brookhaven Tel
ephone Co., has been literally reared
in the business. They will not wait to
see whether the city votes to establish
an electric plant, but will go ahead,
and say they can make their enterprise
success, whether it does or not. In
any event, it seems our growing and
progressive little city can rest assured
of soon having electric lights.

A doctor can ~ ~. ezsecy what he
thinks is the matter with you. II he fully
realized just one great truth he would come
nearer to doing this. The thing he doesn't
fully appreciate is the fact that the man with
pure blood and good digestion can never
him. If you get your blood in good condi-
ton, and keep it rich. and pure and whole
some, you will thereby cure almost any dis
ease with which mankind are s6icted. A
sewer may be pretty dirty, but II you keep
continually flushing 1t with pure water, you
will eventually get It clean. The body may be
full of impurities, but in the natural course
of events these impurities will be excreted ;
and, If they are not replaced by other i'm
purities, the body will become pure and
healthy. If you continually pump pure,
will gradually disappear and soundness and
health of the tissues will be restored.
That is the theory and that Il the actual
result of the use Of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. II doesn't make any
difference what your doctor calls your dis
ease, the Golden Medical Discovery will
cure 1t and it will cure h By AAkiag the
blood pure and rich. by stimulating ~ q,
Eestive organs, invigorating the liver, and
by soothing and Strengthening the nerves.
It Is the most wonderful blood maker and
hesh-builder that has ever been known. Il
Is the most successful medicine Of its kind
that was ever prepared.
Sometimes In connection with the Golden
Medical Discovery" II Is wise to take fev Of DR.

May IL, 1897, at the home of her
brother-in-law, Mr.. q. q. Gibson,

The deceased was q member of
the distinguished Matthews family
of Copiah county, Miss, and was a
lady of many rare qualities of head
and heart. Of a delicate constitu-
ton, she had been tenderIy reared,
and was the idol of her family and
large circle of friends. AT the
time of her death she was % years,
9 months and IL days old. and all
her lite was spent in doing good.
1t is said that she contracted the
disease that caused her death by
nursing the sick and caring for
the dying. She was i'll for y long
time and her suffering was, at
times, most severe; but she bore
it all with Christian fortitude, and
died with bright hopes of entering
upon life of never ending bliss in

DON'T FEEL RIGHT.

Whenever the liver becomes disordered there
is certain to be disturbances in the general
health. The victim OF a torpid liver will feel
bilious, drowsy tired, respondent, irritable, and
II the trouble is allowed to remain, it will extend
Its influence until 1t lays him on his back for a
sick spell of greater or less duration.
Whenever you get into this condition, you are
in urgent need of PRICKLY ASH BIrTERs to
cleanse the bowels regulate and strengthen the
liver and promote digestion. Get bottle at
once, few doses will set you right, and If kept
on hand and taken occasionally during the hot
months will not only cure, but prevent disease.
