sEABORD AIR LINE RAILWAY.

The Capital City Line-Its Magnificent
Through and Local Passenger Service
Between the East and South and South

The Seaboard Air Line Railway is called
the Capital City Line, because it enters the
Capitals of the six States which it traverses,
exclusive of the National Capital, through
which it trains run solid from New York to
Jacksonville and Tampa. Florida. 1t runs
through Richmond, Va, Raleigh, N c., Co
lumbia, S. C., Atlanta, Ga, Montgomery.
Ala. and Tallahassee. Fla.
This road will continue to run the famous
Florida and Metropolitan Limited, and the
Florida and Atlanta Fast Mai. Trains afford
ing the only through limited service daily.
including Sunday, between New York and
Florida, and is the shortest line between
points.
These splendidly modern trains of the sea-
board Air Line Railway arrive at and depart
from Pennsylvania Railroad stations at
Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York, carrying Pullman's most i'm
proved equipment, with unexcelled dining
car service, compartment drawing-room
and observation cars. It has Pullman ser
vice five times per week each way from
Washington to that celebrated resort Pine
hurst, n. c.
It has the short line to and from Rich
mond. Norfolk, Portsmouth, Raleigh. south
ern Pines, Columbia, Savannah. Jackson
vile, Tampa and Atlanta and the principal
cities between the South and East. 1t is also
the direct route TO Athens. Augusta and
Macon.
In Atlanta direct connections are made in
the Union Station for Chattanooga, Nash
vile and Memphis, also for New Orleans and
all points in Texas, California and Mexico.
In addition, it is the only line operating
through trains and Pullman sleeping cars
between Atlanta and Norfolk, where con-
nections are made with the Old Dominion

NJ r. Company, from Boston and Provi-
dence, the Norfolk g. Washington Steamboat

through trains with Buffet Chair Cars be
tween Savannah and Montgomery.
The local train service is frst-class with
most convenient schedules.

ticket for any point, affording the quickest
schedules finest trains and most comforta-
BILE service. Its 1000 mile books sold at $500

A Mystery.

Some time since party of hunters
were passing over Shaggy mountain,
at a point near Jos. Lewis saw mill
and not more than half a mile from
the celebrated Stem Rock, where they
discovered box that had been I'M
earthed by the roots of falling chest
nut tree. The box was broken open
and inside was found the skeleton of
a young child. The skeleton was
partly wrapped in what remained of
a few rags, and had the appearance
of having been buried several years.
Others than the party of hunters
have viewed the remains, among
them Joseph Summers and Garfield
Sines, but the box has been left as it
was found, and so far as is known the
matter has not been reported to pub
lie authorities. That portion of
Shaggy where the skeleton was found
is in Garrett county, Md, and, of
course, Preston county has nothing
to do with the matter. Many solu-
lions of the mystery have been
vouched, but nothing is definitely
known of the inhuman parents, nor
most probably never will be.-King-
wood Journal.

Things to Think AhOnf.

1t pays to buy the best, whether
you buy suit of clothes, horse, a
house and lot or get yourself wife.
If you have the toothache you won't
go to MAYORS to get it pulled. Why?
Because you think DR.. Robinson un-
derstands the business better. These
thoughts apply to all work that you
want done. House-cleaning time is
here and you will want some rooms
papered. Now you have to pay your
money for paper and for having it
put on and paper is something that
you have to look at every day and of
course you want it put on right, clean
and neat, and you don't want your
house turned upside down for "a week
to get it done. These are facts. If
they are right, see King, the painter
and paper hanger, and you will get
the neatest job and the quickest ser
vice. 3.3t

The Portraits of Our Presidents
With Biographical Sketches
General Charles H. Grosvenor.
Title page designed by Tiffany.

Title page designed by Tiffany.
This Inaugural year, when the public mind
is aroused over Presidential questions is a
fitting time to issue General Grosvenor's
book. Its sale is already tremendous, and
will perhaps exceed that of General Grants
Personal Memoirs.
Every patriotic American desires to read
what General Grosvenor has to say of George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew
Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, President Nc
Kinley and the other Chief Executives of the
Nation. Everybody desires to read what
General Grosvenor. the staunch old Repub-
lican leader in Congress, will say of that
staunch old Democrat, Andrew Jackson, the
Father of the Democratic party. General
GroSvenor has thrown into his sketch all the
fire and energy of his nature. The biography
of Thomas Jefferson is grand. The biogra-
ply of Lincoln is as beautiful as a sunrise
over the hilltopS. General Grosvenor has
personally known all the Presidents since
the time of James Buchanan. The Cen
erals book will therefore contain history
which has never before been published writ
ten from his own personal observation of
these great men. General GroSvenor has
served in Congress for nearly twenty years.
and he has served his country in war and in
Congress for nearly forty years. The book
contains twenty-four large Ph0togravure
Etchings as fine as Steel Plates, printed by
hand, on heavy plate paper made especially
to order. These "a Photogravure EtchingS
are in different tints, and are well worth 81
each. These Portraits are made from the
Paintings endorsed by the family and near
relatives of the Presidents. Two years time
and fortune have been expended in Secur
ing these reproductions. The complete book
is well worth $50, but the price has been
placed SO low that the most humble Ameri-
can citizen can own it. The biographical
sketches are printed in large open type in
two colorS; the work is so beautiful that when
people see it they want it, The advance sale
is very large President Mckinley was the
first subscriber. There is one edition known
as The President Edition de Grand Luxe, in
ltial letters hand painted, Portraits hand
colored title page hand Illuminated, regis
tered and numbered; subscription price $3.50.
Orders and applications for territory are
coming in rapidly. a high class man or
woman of good social standing can soon
make small fortune taking orders in this
community. Send references and apply for
terms quick. as the territory will all be as
signed soon.
