The devilment which Brownlow ex-
poets to keep up has already begun. A
few days ago he procured a position in
the Marine band for Bob Collins and q
street car job for Chas. Mathews, two

If Brownlow can do thus we'll before

Worley Willard, yardmaster OF the
Narrow Gauge came very near losing
his life last Saturday while shifting q
train. He stepped between a car and
the depot platform where the track
ended to get a link when the train,
which he and the engineer both ex-
pected to go on another track, suddenly
come back on Mr.. Millard. He was
pressed up against the platform and
only had about FIVE inches to live IN
but it was enough and while he is badly
bruised his physicians think ne will
recover. He has been doing as we'll as
could be expected since. No bones
we're broken, but if Mr.. Willard had
been standing sideways to the car he
would have been killed. His escape
was miraculous, as foot in any direc-
ton would have been fatal.

IT is now a settled fact that B, A.
Fox, the Dover, Del, fancier, will
move his poultry plant to this place in
the near future. All the necessary ar
rangements was made at a meeting
Monday night of the citizens interested
in thoroughbred fowls. The Nat Love
property, near the Southern depot, has
been leased for five years and will be
fitted up for henery and kennel, as
Mr.. Fox is also a breeder Of English
Beagle Hounds and Pekin Ducks.
At the meeting Monday night the
United Fanciers Association of Johnson
City, was organized with capital stock
of $40, 900 and with M. Jackson presi-
dent; J. H. Prease and Fred Artz vice
presidents, and B. A. Fox, secretary
and treasurer.
This association subscribed and paid
in 5000, which Mr.. Fox figured would
cover the cost of moving his ranch to
this place. This is all the bonus he
asked and he will begin to move his
poultry, which consists of 1900 fine
birds, in q few weeks.
Mr.. Fox raises only two kinds of
chickens, the Barred Plymouth Rocks
and Brown Leghorns, and the other
members of the association will be
allowed to each select variety and
raise the one kind, which will be adyer
tised by Mr.. Fox in all the poultry
journal.
Mr.. Fox is member of the United
States Association of Poultry Judges,
and has been continuous breeder for
twenty-four years, and is authority on
chickens. He was Judge of the recent
shows here and at Bristol 1t will be
worth much to our breeders here to
have him at the head of the association.
He has had lots of offers rendered him
this winter when it become known that
he wanted to come south, but he liked
the location at Johnson City best Of
them all.
There are about twenty members
who will breed the best blood that
money can buy, and who have already
taken stock in the association. Among
them are the following named gentle
men, Tate L. Earnest, E. S. Wolf,
P. H. Woford, Chas. Leseur, DR.. S.A.
Bowman, w. W. and E. G. kirkpatrick,
s. H. Pouder, W. A. Hunter, H. c.
Austin, J. D. Collect, w. W. DEFAULT,
and others. The Mountain View
Poultryman, published by II. G. Aus
tin, will also be edited from this place
and will devote its pages to the up
building of thoroughbred poultry, anG
to the interest of the members of thu
association. This paper being instru
mental in the consumation of the above
organization will not falter in its de
termination to bring about still greater
results.

A Significant Departure.

With the departure of another year when
review is made of the condition Of affairs it Is
only right that some thought be given to the
physical body which enables everyone to battle
with iifes problem and figure for themselves

Though the bank account may be large and each
ones material gain be great, it would net be
surprising II it suddenly dawns upon many that

MIRACLES IN MEDICINE.
The Wonderful Progress Made Within
the Past Few Years.
Diseases That Our Mothers Thought nCuraba Now Cured
by Pan0'S Celery Compound.

1t is difficult, almost impossible, to
overestimate the importance of recent
advances in medicine and surgery.
In surgery there is the application of
the X-ray in determining complicated
fractures.
In medicine there is the serum treat
ment for germ diseases, and more i'm
portant still, the extended use of
Paine's celery compound in the treat
ment of the many diseases that arise
from faulty or impaired nervous sys-
tenn.
This class of ailments causes more
suffering and earlier deaths than all 9th
ers, and that is why so much public
prominence was at once given to Paine's
celery compound when its discovery
was first announced by Prof, Phelps
of Dartmouth college.
The rapid and sure way that Paine's
celery compound cures neuralgia, rheu-
matism and nervous debility is marve-
lous even in the eyes of this wonder
working quarter of the century,
Ancient miracles were contrary to
natural laws, whereas the remarkable
power of Paine's celery compound to
make people well. comes from better
understanding of the natural causes Of
disease.

as the sympathetic nervous system, y
that knits every part of the body togeth-
err and harmonizes all, is understood
