What the Southern Railway IS Doing
for the South.
From Manufacturers Record, Baltimor
of October 81.

from Manufacturers Record, Baltimore,
of October 81.
The Southern Railway Co. has just
| issued, at a very large expense, mag
| nifcent volume, entitled The Empire Of
| the South" which is artistic and beau
| tiful enough to adoru any library, and
| which equals the best work issued by any
| Western line. Such work is credit to
| the road, and must prove of very great
| value to the entire South. 1t is book
which great system such as the South
ern can afford without curtailing its
regular expenditures for attracting
capital and immigration, and in this
| particular this road deserves the com
mendation OF the entire South for the
broad scope OF its work and the persist
| ency with which it is pushed.
When the old Richmond Terminal
which for several years had been foot
ball for lot OF spectators, and which,
because of its financial and physical con-
ditiOn, rather retarded than aided South
| ern 6evc. opment, was taken hold OF by
Morgan & Co., with a view to reOrganlza-
| ton, the Manuf acturers' Record said that
it regarded the entrance OF the Morgan
| interests into the Southern railway field
| as of tremendous Importance to the
| whole South Their reorganization OF
these bankrupt properties and the de-
velopment which they will necessarily
help to bring about will, the Ma,aufac-
| turers' Record said. add to the prosperity
Of the entire territory tributary to these
| roads. Notwithstanding the long period
of financial and industrial depression
though which the country has been pass
ing since this system was reOrganlZed,
we can see many evidences of the great
work already accomplished. Partly
through the cooperation OF this COM
pany the building OF the steel plant at
Birmingham, which is the greatest
single factor in Southern industrial
development for several years, has been
made possible; through the work OF the
same company Alabama coal is dlSplac-
ing Pittsburg coal on the Mississippi,
thus opening market which consumed
millions of tons of Pennsylvania coal;
some of the great cotton mills which
have been built South by New Englanders
have come, in part at least, because of
the work of this line; Norfolk S terminal
facilities have been vastly increased by
this system; the number of good settlers
which it has located South already runs
up into the thousands, and in every
direction are proofs OF its active work.
These are but a few of the many things
for which the South is indebted to the
management of the Southern Railway
Co., aud the publication of this new book
makes timely these words OF cOmmenda
ton.

An Attractive Woman.

If woman is not attractive, there is
something wrong. Any woman can be
attractive if she will make the effort 1t
isn't altogether question CT beauty. It's
largely a matter of health. The bloom
and glow of health go far toward bringing
beauty. A clear skin, bright eyes, red lips
and the vivacity which bodily good feel
ing brings, will make even a homely
woman handsome.
Half Of the women one meets are semi
invalids. Failure to heed the warnings of
outraged nature-failure to give the help
needed by the most delicate and sensitive
organs-little troubles ignored until they
have become dominant-theSe things bring
about the sunken. crcled eyes. the hollow
cheeks, the pale and sallow skin, the
habby, strengthless flesh, which character
ize the appearance of the woman who
suffers from female weakness
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has
cured thousands of suffering women. 1t
is perfected specific for the troubles
peculiar to them. 1t eradicates the dis
ease, stops the dragging. life-sapping
drain, and in q perfectly rational, natural
way, builds up the wa tied strength. 1t
will bring buoyant health. 1t will put
roses into pale faces-solid flesh in sunken
places It does away with the humiliat-
ing examinations and local treatment
so much dreaded by mOdestly sensitive
women. For thirty years it has been sue:
cessfully prescribed by DR.. Pierce. Chief

''History of the Spanish-Amerlcan
War;" by Henry Watterson.

The above is the title Of a superbly
illustrated, richly bound volume issued
by The WERNER COMPANY, Akron, Ohio.
1t is the only authentic history of the
Spanish-American War that has so far
come to our notice. All the others have,
in the main, been merely re-vamped
histories of the Cuban War, with some
illustrations and a few chapters about
the Spanish American War. Oi course,
anything written by Henry Watterson
would be readable. He, above all other
men in America, is fitted by training and
experience to write a history of this war,
which has brought worldwide renown
and glory to our arms. Every line of
the book breathes an enthusiastic spirit
of patriotism that is exhilarating and
inspiring.
The work contains over $50 pages, a
large number OF full-page half-tones,
together with many rich double page
illustrations in ten colOrs. 1t is sold by
subscription, and will undoubtedly
prove money-maker to every intelligent
salesman.
