WhoopInRC Cough.

1 had little boy who was nearly
dead from an attack Of whooping
cough. My neighbors recommended
Chamberlaln's Cough Remedy. 1
did not think that any medicine
would help him, but after giving him
a few doses of that remedy l noticed
an Improvement, and one bottle cur
ed him entirely. 1t is the best cough
medicine 1 ever had i'll the house.

DENIsON AND NORTHERN.
Officials Visit Dousherty-Old DesIson
and Northern Dump to be Used.

two prominent New York capital
lists came to Dougheity last Tues
day, and securing several horses
drove out over the Denison and
Northern dump. The hopes of our
people that this road would be
built are about to be realized.
That Mr.. Scott and the New York
capitalists mean business, and that |
they came here with the intention |
of bnilding the road, is not a mat
ter of speculation but of fact. In
an interview with Mr.. Scott that
gentleman said:
Our people fully realize the
many advantages at this point for
railroad, and the company repre-
sented by me have about completed
plans for the work. l think you
will be safe in saying to the people
that work will commence in a very
short time and that by November
or December a big portion of the
work will have been completed.
The Denison and Northern
dump, bridges, etc. are made be-
tween here and what is familiarly
known as the junction, about 30
miles east of Doughertv. The
dump will be completed as far as
COalgate. where the survey has
been made and from the junction
to Denison.
The Santa Fe people as before
stated have been desirous of Secur-
ing a cross line from here to the
Lehigh and other coal mines in
order to get their supply of coal
without being compelled to haul
their fuel over the Katy around by
DenisOn and thence west to Gaines
3 This road will save all the i'm
mense freight rates, besides the
many other innumerable obstacles
by which they are handicapped by
being shut off from the eastern
mining country. This road will
place them in direct connection
with all these mines, and it does
} not take man with very large
; brain to fathOm their purposes.
The road will never be built from
Davis as it is much cheaper and a
great deal more convenient to build
: from this place, and it is only a
l matter of a very short time when a
railroad will be built from the east
: into Dougherty.
r The ID. & n dump has been ap-
t praised at $43, 900, and the differ
| ence in the expense of building the
road from Davis and building it
e from DOugherty has been estimat-
ed at $50, 200, making a total of
r $4,000 in favor of Dougherty
e The citizens of Davis may possibly
S dig up a few thousand dollars
e but the Santa Fe people are no
going to fool with a small amoun
: that may be raised by them, as ha'
been evidenced by that towns re
cent railroad experiences. Dough

Large things ARE but AIN aggrega tion

small Things we are in effect taking
care of the large things which the

Take care of What you eat, when you
eat, and how you eait, and your stom-

takes care of such trivial things? THAT
is why, some day, the majority of peo-

might fail TO explain in advance his motives
either from forgetfulness or from a desire TO
keep his own counsel Some physicians very
communicative and others quite the
verse Failure to mention the plan OF cam
paign would not necessarily reflect in any way
upon the patient To be sure, doctors are scme-
times animated by fear that patient may ac-
quire a taste for a drug that is used in a pre-
scripuon-morphine, for instance-and they
would rather not promote such a result But
guarding against this contingency for the future
would not imply anything derogatory as to the
past.
For these and other reasons physicians have
been known to write a prescription specific
instructions - fill il only once. One New-York
doctor. and possibly others have printed blanks
for prescriptions, and across the TOP is printed
line Not to be filled again" When the pre-.
scripton is actually written the doctor wit

II must be admitted however. that orders not

most unheard Of 1t is possible that, owing TO
the exceptional character OF prescription and
the length Of time that has elapsed since it was
first filed, a conscientious druggist will doubt
whether a doctor would like TO have 1t renewed,
