Among the Railroads.

1t is expected that passenger trains
NOS. 81 and 40 will be taken off in
about two weeks times. These trains
last year. were annulled the 10th of De-
toper. IL is said that no changes will
be made this year until after the meet
ing OF the passenger agents here.-Ashe-

A meeting of the Board of Trade
was held last Tuesday and a commit
tee was appointed to confer with a like
committee from Hayesville in regard
to building an electric railway from
Murphy to the corundum mines at
Shooting Creek.
The Macon county people will read
this dispatch from Tiffin, Ohio to the
New York Sun with much pleasure:
1T comes from an absolutely reliable
source that the entire scheme for finan-
cling the Black Diamond system of
railroads will be consumated in few
days. This comprises line of road
from Toledo to Chicago, through Gin
cinnati and Columbus to Port Royal,
s. c. President Kirby, who lives here,
has made several trips to Europe in
the interest of the road and has at last
succeeded"
Judge Erb and the attorneys of the
financial concern from which the Ashe-
vile and Weaverville Railroad Com
pany has secured $150,0O0, have return
ed to Chicago. The deal was success
fully negotiated, and the work of the
railroad company will be prosecuted
with renewed lvigor. /. B. MILFORD has
just returned from a business trip north
and will devote personal attention to
the operations of the company. The
company yesterday awarded some con-
tracts for special grading, this work to
begin Monday. The main force is now
in the vicinity of the Chunn branch,
four miles from Asheville. Another
force, will, beginning Monday be set
to work at Grace, to grade in the di-
rection of this city.-Asheville Gazette.
The Goldsboro correspondent of the
News and Observer Sunday referred to
the bad schedule over the Southern
Railway to the east and said he believ-
ed the Southern would replace the
morning train at an early date. 1t is
to be hoped that this is true, and that
we will again get mail from the west
in the morning.-Elm City Elevator
The belief is general, says the Win
ston Sentinel, that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, which owns con-
trolling interest in the Norfolk and
Western road is behind the movement
to build the proposed railroad from
Wadesboro to Winston Salem to con-
meet with the Norfolk and Western.
This weeks Lexington Dispatch says
in this connection: ''The Dispatch re-
ceived reliable Information that the
Norfolk and Western Railroad Company
has recently subscribed S1,000.eO0 for
the building of the railroad from Win
ston to Wadesboro. 1t is also positive
ly stated that the road will be built
along the lines now being surveyed and
will cross the Yadkin river just above
Narrows, where the engineering corps
were camped last week. Further, the
route at present selected is via Lex
ington, and that there is scarcely any
doubt but that the road will be built
through our town. Lexington is the
only direct route for the proposed road
and the advantages to be derived by
passing through this section certainly
cannot be equalled elsewhere"

A TRIBUTE
OF SCIENCE.
Synopsis Of a most Remarkable
Lecture Delivered Before the
Ninth Medical Congress, by
DR.. A. L. A. Toboldt, Of PhiIa.

The famous fountain Of health
at Carlsbad. in Bohemia, which
has been the refuge of invalids
for FIVE centuries, is certainly
we'll worthy of a careful study.
My experience with this water has
been such that l may truly saw
that no rem 'dy which ever en-
ployed has given me so much
pleasure and profit as this partic-
ular one. Selecting a number of
chronic hypochondriacs, whose
Affections have baffled all my pre-
vious efforts as my subjects, l was
truly astonished to note that, al
though no rigid diet was pre-
scribed, and only a limited amount
OF exercise was INDUCED in,
l obtained most remarkable re-
sults-the complexion, even after
a weeks use, began to clear up,
the step became more firm and
elastic, and, what was more, the
entire host of hypochondriacal
complaints, seemed to vanish like
mist.
The Carlsbad Sprudel Water is
a specific in all diseases of the
Liver and Kidneys, Catarrh of the
Stomach Govt and Rheumatism.
If a decided laxative action is
desired, add a small teaspoonful
of the Carlsbad Sprudel Salt to
tumblerful of the water and take
one hour before breakfast.

As a result of these raids several are
