How to Prevent Pneumonia.

At this time of the year a cold is very
easily contracted, and if let to run it's
course without the aid of some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in that
dread disease, pneumonia. We know of
no better remedy to cure a cough or cold
than Chamberlain S Cough Remedy. We
have used itquite extensively and it has
always given entire satisfaction-Oola-
gah, Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is known
to be certain preventative of pneumo-
MIA. Among the many thousands who
| have used it for colds and la grippe We
have never yet learned of a single case
having resulted in pneumonia. Persons
| who have weak lungs or have reason to
feur an attack of pneumonia, should
keep the remedy at hand. The % and

An Agreeable Change.

There was no promiscuous shooting
OF fire works or blowing of tin horns on
the streets of Henderson as heretofore,
owing to an ordinance prohibiting it.;
and very little drunkenness or disor-
DERBY conduct was noticeable. And in
this there is much to find cause for re-
Jolclng at. Too frequently the day is
desecrated by drinking and carousing,
senseiess noise and bad behavior gen
orally. But this year was an agree
able exception to the rule.

territory:
In a very short while work will be
commenced on another large and hand
some building for the Geo. ID.
Witt Shoe Company, and for the pur-
poses for which it will be used 1t will be
| one Of the most complete, commodious.
OF great and particular value to the
company will be the splendid location,
| right on the canal, with side track of
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad run
ming right alongside of it, with the
Southern railroad along Jefferson street,
and with the Norfolk and Western rail-
road Just across the canal. BY special
arrangements made with the Chesapeake
and Ohio road, drayage will be almost
entirely unnecessary, as all goods will
be hauled in cars direct to and from tue
building and by special facilities loaded
and unlOaded. An electric elevator will
be used to carry packages up to the va
riOus floors and hand elevator will be
used to lower them. By the adoption Of
the mill system of construction, danger
from fire will be almost entirely removed
and the cost of insurance thereby re
duced to minimum. The building will
have a breadth of sixty feet and depth
OF One-hundred and sixty-tve feet and as
all of its proportions will be on Il large
and imposing scale, it will be an exceed
ingly handsome ard attractive struct-
ure. Only the very best quality of brick,
timber and iron will be used. 1t will be
four stories in height and will have
floor space for storage of from twenty
five to thirty thousand square feet.
