"A SPECIAL
PROVIDENCE

Late in the spring of 1864, ON the old
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad.
which had been taken possession of by
the military authorities, | was doing
spare" work, which meant that some
times l would run a shifter in the yard
and perhaps the next thing would take
an extra train out over the road.
We didn't have very much in the way
of rolling stock at that time, as the
"JOhnnies" had run most of it away
when they evacuated Nashville, and
we were particularly short of good en-
glnes One day was sent out with an
extra train and told to pull it down to
Chattanooga with the shfter. This had
been in its day a first class engine, but
it was very old and had been patched
and doctored up for use in the yard.
We had squad of soldiers for a guard,
and or 4rs had been given for every
thing keep out of our way.
Several changes had been made ON
the road since had been out, but the
only one having anything to do with
this story was with regard to a siding
about twO-thirds of the way down.
This was a spur some thousand feet or
so in length, running into a gravel pit.
There was quite a gully between the
main track and the pit, and the siding
ran for some distance over a trestle
Some of the rails had been taken up
and used to lengthen out another spur
track farther down the road The
switch stand had been removed and the
switch spiked fast.
We stopped at a water tank just this
side of Stevenson. Here the lieuten-
ant in charge said he had a wounded
guerrilla, and, rs he didn't know what
to do with him, we would have to take
him to Chattanooga with us. So he was
carried into the conductors car, at the
rear of the train, and laid on the floor.
1t was now well along toward even
ing and growing dark very rapidly,
more so than usual, as a thunderstorm
was coming up. Before long it was up
on us, and it was a terror. | rolled the
old engine along for all she was worth,
and as there was a pretty stiff grade
on this part of the road we were max
ing tOlerably good time. About three
quarters of an hour after passing Ste
venson the gong gave the signal to
stop. Never, before or since. did it

What Would
You Give For
A Good
Appetite?

The hungry boy is the strong
and healthy boy. Farmers and
hOrsemen never buy animals that
are dainty and won't eat not if
they know it. The man or woman
who cannot eat, cannot work long,
will soon be sick.
Weknow something that will give
you an appetite. 1t will not be a
fictitious appetite such as is aroused
by powerful drugs, but a healthy
appetite for good food. 1t will also
arouse the vital organs not only to
an appetite for wholesome food,
but it will put them in condition
to take care of food, to grow strong
from it.
This preparation is called Vinol.
Its composition is no secret. 1t
is a happy combination of the
valuable and essential principles of
cod liver oil, with iron and a good
table wine. 1t is pleasant to taste,
and both nourishes and creates an
appetite for nourishment. Thou
sands upon thousands of bottles
have been sold on the guarantee
of money back if not satisfied with
the results, and it is very rare to
have a customer call for the money,

PREPARING A GREAT FESTIVAL
Crowds Will Go to Columbus to See
The Show.

Americas is making no preparation
for fair of any kind this fall bnt
other cities, notably Columbus, Val,
dosta and Macon are arranging fer
these trade winners. There is public
spirited element in Americas which
would work for fair, but their efforts
would be combatted by those who OPP
pose such occasions here The last
week in October has been selected as
the time for holding Columbus fall
festival This is the week between At
lanta's interstate fair and the state fair
at Valdosta, so no trouble will be had
i'll securing attractions. The state re-
union of Confederate veterans will be
held two days Of that week probably
on Wednesday and Thursday, the Goth
and 30th.

RAsCALs ROB FRUIT SHIPPERS.
Canteloupe Growers Caught for GOodlY
Amount.

So far as known, none of the melon
and peach shippers about Americus
have been caught out this season by
sharks and frauds in northern cities,
who annually rob fruit growers in
Georgia Of thousands of dollars. How
ever, several canteloupe shippers about
Valdosla have been the victims Of
fraudulent fruit brokers in Pittsburg,
Pa to the extent of 81, 900 or IS O0O
worth of their products. Fifteen car
loads of canteloupes have been ship
ped from there to Pittsburg at the in
stance of a purchasing agent who spent
some time down there recently. lie
gave drafts for the shipments, $3.50 q
car load, and these drafts have come
back unpaid, Altogether, it is under
stood that 81, $50 worth of these drafts
have been turned down, leaving the
local shippers out just that much.
