terday talking to a reporter about that
wonderful Vinol, concerning which so
much is heard nowadays. why. you know
that besides being talked about in New
England, many of the prominent papers
III America are devotng more or less
space to this wonderful discovery. See
here, what do you think of this?' Where
upon Mr.. King produced an article from
the Lancet of London. England,
The Lancet is the greatest medical
publication in the world, and anything
appearing in it's columns is/ considered
as indisputable evidence. let me read
this to you,'' said Mr.. King. 81 won't
bother you with much of it, but here
is enough to show you what the great
men of the old world think of Vinol,"
whereupon he read the following:
Recent investigation has led to the
isolation of several distinct bodies in
the alkaloids. These principles have been
tested faithfully and the results form the
subject OF an exclusive report by Gautier
and Mourgues in the Journal de Pharma-
Gle. who concluded that the combined ac-
powerful stimulants of nutrition and as
stimulation, and show definitely the nature
of the principles to which the oil owes
it's valuable medicinal properties.
And the best part of all this is con-
tinued NJ King, sit is not only the ply
sicans that are enthusiastic, but the peo-
pie who are taking the remedy. After all,
l do not blame them much, either. 1t
does not take but a minute for any one
who is obliged to take cod liver oil to
fird out that Vinol is tasteless. Then
the patient soon realizes it's advantage
1t does good so much more quickly, and
accomplishes the desired end in much
more marked manner than cod liver oil
in it's crude form was ever able to do.
Oh yes, of course, | consider the success
OF Vinol as assured. How can it be other
wise,-a discovery that has revolution
lied the form and made it practical to
prescribe the greatest known medicine
for all wasting diseases.
Just think what it means; getting all
the benefits in a concentrated form, and
no more nauseating vile smelling grease.
Yes, come any time you would like to see
me. l am always glad to see you about
Vinol, and l find out more to say in its
praise every day"

The Christmas of 1901 has come and

delight and the reality of the days
blessings made warm the heart towards
all humanity, and while hand clasped
hand and eye sought eye in friendships
glance the moments freightned with
pleasure passed away.
The stores of the city were closed and
at hours during the day the streets wore
a Sunday look. Yet soon this would
pass away as bands of maskers came in
sight and crowds met here and there
after church service and later when
the feast of Christmas dinner was over!
The churches where services were
held were filled and the exercises at all
were enjoyed. In the evening large au-
diences were present at Metropolitan
Hall and at the Central M. E. Church
Sunday School to hear the enjoyable
cantataS
The din and noise of Christmas eve
night with it's horns and paraders was
not duplicated Christmas night Here
and there over the city were fireworks

line was attempted. The day was one

church services came with the day.
AT CHRIST. CHURCH.
Crowds of worshippers attended the
Christmas services at Christ Church.
Bright sunlight streamed through the
richly stained windows of the beautiful
old structure, revealing figures of saints
and apostles. prophets and martyrs, and
shedding light and beauty on the deco

edifice from it's portals to the altar
High above the altar cleaned blazing
star typical of that which nineteen hum
dred years ago hung above the manager

degree of excellence and was probably
the most elaborate heard in the city.

were among the most noteworthy fea-
lures of the service. Rev DR.. Mar

A SENSATIONAL EXPERIENCE.

Mr.. W. A. Woolbright, of Atlanta,
was in the city Thursday on visit to
his brother-in-law, Mr.. VIII Florence
Mr.. Woolbright is an engineer on the
w. & A. r. r., and in wreck last De-
tober at Graysville he had his left leg
broken and his rightshoulder dislocated
and he is now using crutch. His visit
to Marietta was the first time he had
been out of Atlanta since the accident.
Ten years ago Mr.. Woolbright was an
engineer on the engine named "Kenne-
saw" He stopped his engine in front
OF the Kennesaw House at the crossing
and rushed into the telegraph office in
the depot to get his orders Just as he
entered to door of the office his engine
blew up, throwing his firemen, Mr..
John Collum, one hundred yards across
the track where the new passenger de-
pot now stands. The engine was torn
almost in pieces 200 window lights
were broken out the hotel Frank Rog-
ers' barber shop in Chuck Anderson's
building, was badly wrecked and other
damage done to buildings. The noise
was fearful and will never be forgotten
by the citizens who heard it. Mr..
Woolbright considers his narrow escape
purely Providential and he feels very
grateful. The fireman, Mr.. John Col
lum, is now fireman for Engineer Bar
rett on passenger train.
