That we have in lola meat market

Mr. Otto Kreuger and Mr.. A. w.

This is the pioneer meat market of
lola, and under the able management
of kreuger u French it has secured
the entire confidence of our people,
and as u consequence they supply

The thorough ways of Messrs.
Kruger " French are well known to
our people. who know that they can
always depend upon getting the best
the market affords at their place of

labor Matter Settled.

For some time there has been dis
content among the workmen on the
waterworks plant for the reason that
their wages were less than they have
been getting. This was due to the old
wage being cut into hourly wage on "A
ten hour basis and the pay being handed
ont ON the eight hour basis forced by
the State labor commissioner. The
men did not strike or take any action
to remedy their trouble until several
members OF the local labor Organiza-
ii ons bumped up against the PROPOSE
sion, State Labor Commissioner w.
a. l.. johnson was appealed to and
came down here. Friday meet
ing was held and union and indepen-
dent wUrkmen attended. An ultimat-
UNI was sent the contractor and until
S O'Clock this morning given in which
Lee could comply or be sued. He COM
piled and work proceeded.
The better workmen who had been
getting 81 day working ten hours,
We're getting but $500 under the new
deal, or forty cents an hour for eight
instead of ten hours. The same APP
piled to the helpers, whose $50 at ten
hours was cut to l.20 at fifteen cents
an hour forleight hours. The latter's
case was the one most objected to.
AS result of the new agreement the
the men work but eight hours and the
pay is 81 and 81 80 respectively.
Cities of the first and second class
will hereafter find that they pay the
best wages for common labor of any,
but the union argues that where it has
been tried, the basis being the best
men on the job, better and more work
is invariably secured from eight hour
men than ten hour men.

was in receipt of a letter from his
brother, Cyrus Taylor, ok Company.

The Case of Jim Avery.

Word was telephoned in from Gas
City last week that Jim Avery, the
man arrested and fined in lola for
breaking i'm window light while
under the influence of whiskey, was
insane and asking the sheriff to
come and get him. Deputy Conley
went out and intended to bring
Avery to town to be tried in probate
court but before the time came it was
decided he was so much improved u
trial was not necessary. Gas City
folks have Il theory that Avery was
recently disappointed in love and that
that affair turned his head, being also
responsible for his horrible jag, "A
very unusual occurrence with him. 1t
seems probable that as soon as he gets
the poison, supposed to have Ibeen in
the whisky out OF his system, he will
be sane as ever.

A Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special per-
scription of d. A.. Boschee, cele-
brated German Physician. and is ac-
knowledged to be one of the most
fortunate discoveries in Medicine. 1t
quickly cures Coughs, Colds and all
Lung troubles of the ,severest nature,
removing, as it does, the cause of the
affection and leaving the parts in
strong and healthy condition. 1t is
not an experimental medicine, but has
stood the test of years, giving salts
faction in every case, which its rapidly
increasing sale every season confirms.
Two million bottles sold annually.
Boshee's German Syrup was intro
duced in the United States in 1868, and
is now sold in every town and village
in the civilized world. Three doses
will relieve any ordinary cough.
