Saved the Situation.

A story is told of certain singer
which shows that he possessed rot
only musical ability but admirable
presence of mind. On the occasion
of his first appearance his voice was
some What harsh, and his vocal efforts
were greeted with Kisses from the
disappointed audience.
Without appearing to be in the
least moved by this unpleasantrecep-
ton, the young artist looked calmly
down at the crowd of listeners and
said.
"Gentlemen, it is a pity to hear
you whistle so badly; allow me to
give you lesson"
Upon that he began to whistle in a
most exquisite manner the varied
airs of an opera which was very pop
ular at the time.
At this unexpected turn of efails s
silence and then prolonged applause
succeeded to the kissing and from
that time on whether he sang or
whistled. There was no more hiss
ing.

A SouIIess Community.

A young clergy man, just arrived
at the locality of his first call, met at
the railway station q boyhood acquain-
tance whom be had not met since
they were playmates together in q
remote town. After a handshake
and mutual expressions of pleasure
at the unexpected meeting the newly
found friends exclaimed.
"But, say! What on earth are you
doing in this part of the world?"
"Me7" enthusiastically replied the
ecclesiast, II have come here to save
souls"
"You have, eh?' was the response.
"Well, let me tell you I've been in
this town long enough to know that
you've struck sinecure "

We gave your Teethina (Teethipg

with the happiest results. The effects
were almost magical, and certainly
more satisfactorily than from any
thing we ever used.
Yours very truly, Jos. S. Key,
Pastor Of St. Paul Church.
(Now Bishop Southern Methodist
Church.)
Peter Postell, the richest negro in
the South, has lately died at Hopkins

Dyspeptics cannot be long lived
because to live requires nourishment
Food is not nourlshing until it is
digested. A disordered stomach
cannot digest food, it must have
assistance. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
digests all kinds of food without aid
from the stomach, allowing it to rest
and regain its natural functions.
It's elements are exactly the same as
the natural digestive fluids and it
simply can't help but do you good.

Railroad Wreck in Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ga, June 4 "A switch en-
CINE in the yards of the Southern
Railway shops, near the city limits,
dashed into passenger train as it
was passing today, killing three pas
sengers and injuring sixteen, three
of them. it is feared, fatally.
Just beyond the Southern shops
are the coal chutes and all about
these are side tracks. On one Of
these side tracts and only few feet
from the main track an engine was
standing that had only short while
before been abandoned by its engi-
neer and fireman. As the train was
passing the junction of this side
tract the switch engine suddenly
dashed backward into the moving
train. The first class day coach was
thrown over on its side and partly de-
molished, the Pullman car "Arcturus"
was thrown from the track and one
end smashed into kindling wood,
while the trucks were knocked from
under the combination smoker and
passenger coach.
Those killed were in the day coach.
Physicians and railroad officials were
quickly on the scere; some Of the
injured were taken to the hospitals
and the dead brought to Atlanta.
Soon after the wreck G. B Dun
ton, an employee of the Southern
Railroad, was arrested, charged with
disorderly conduct. This charge
was made only that Dupt,n might be
held. He was really arrested on
suspicion of having run the wild en-
gine into the swiftly moving passen-
ger train. Dunton denies that he
had anything to do with the wreck
and says he was not on the engine.
The Southern officials claim that he
was seen to get on the engine, and
the say further that he had no busi-
ness there, as he is yard conductor.
Dunton has several gashes in his
head, which he admits receiving in
they wreck, but he maintains that he
was not on the engine.
LATER-Dunton has been bound
ever without bail to the Superior
Court on the charge of murder. The
evidence heard at the preliminary
trial tended to show that Dunton
was on the switch engine which ran
into the passenger train.

Augusta Evening Herald.

Augusta Evening Herald.
Senator McLaurin thinks that Sen
ator Tillmsn has "spiled" since he
went to Washington.
This recalls the campaign story
Tillman used to tell. That was the
time the present Senator would not
accept the flee, but was on the
stump pro bono publico.
He complained to the farmers that
the representatives whom they sent
to Columbia were not faithful to the
trusts resposed in them. He said:
s'They put me in mind of the an
swer the boy made to the gentleman
in my county. The gentleman came
across q small lad who was sitting
by stream fishing. The boy had
caught three or four little fish
"What luck, my boys
"Fair.'
"'What kind of fish are they.
"'Baptist fish, sir
"'Why do you call them Baptist
fish, my boy.
"'They 'spile' 80 soon after they
come out of the water, sir
That is the way with your farmer
representatives" exclaimed the speak
er. "They are all right at first, but
they 'spile so soon as they cross the
Congaree river and get into Colum-
bia."
A McLaurinite is telling story in
South Carolina illustrative, he says,
of the status there. He proclaims
it an old story-one of Lon Living
ston's-but many of us have never
heard it before.
1.-TWO farmers, Jones and Smith,
own adjoining plantations and were
very warm friends. But the Jones
women fell out with the Smith wo-
men and eoon Jones and Smith were
enemies.
"One day Jones went hunting. He
lost his way in the swamp. Night
caught him there. Realizing that,
be began to hello for help.
"Smitb, way up on high land, heard
the cry of distress. He got him q
long pole, and on the end OF it tied a
blazing torch of lightwood.
Then Smith cried out Halo! you
who have lost your way! you come
right to this light. You will be safe.
"All right cried the lost man.
"Then, a moment afterward he
stopped. Hold on a minute he cried,
who are you that holds the light?'
"sSmithl
"Then 60 to hi! I'll stay where
I am
THAT" says the McLaurinite, sis
the way with many in Carolina. You
may show the true light-the real
path to the lisbt-but it depends
upon who holds it more than upon
the truth and right and justice it il
lustrates."

Entire North Side of the Main Street

Entire North Side of the Main Street
Burned, Causing Loss of $4,000.
Dallas Center, Ia, July 5.-The en-
tire north side of the main street,
comprising more than half the bust
ness houses of the town, was burned
yesterday, except the Citizens bank,
slightly removed from the rest. The
fire started in Hoffnagel & Co.'s fur
niture store, and the principal losers,
aside from the Hoffnagel firm, were:
Grant McClain, hardware and furni-
ture, $4,000; Williams, harness shop,
$1,000; j. |. Cramer, residence, $1,000;
Susong, millinery store, $1,000; Lewis,
shoes, $500; Lloyd, Shoes $500; Fl. M.
Sharnel. postoftice building, $500.
There were many other lesser losers
and the insurance was fairly we'll COW
cred. The total loss will be not far
from 100000. The part of the town
burned was of old construction and
will now be rebuilt up better than it
was before the fire.
