timOny to the hundreds of thou.
sands on Mrs. Pinkham'S files.
When Lydia E. Pinkham's Rene
dies were first introduced skeptics
all over the country frowned upon
their curative claims, but as year
after year has rolled by and the
little group of women who had been
cured by the new discovery has
since grown into a vast army of
hundreds of thousands, doubts and
skepticisms have been swept away
az by a mighty food, until to-day
the great good that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and her other medicines are doing
among the women of America is
attracting the attention of many of
our leading scientists, physicians
and thinking people.
Merit alone could win such fame;
wise, therefore, is the woman who
for a cure relies upon Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

Clumsey Counterfeit.

Will McComb, of Bonneville,
was arrested at Aberdeen last week
on what appears to be a clear case of
raising a two-dollar silver certificate
to a twenty. He is said to have
clipped the large figures go" from a
Confederate tw%enty-dollar bill and
pasted them on the genuine at the
four corners, front and back, and
likewise the words twenty dollars
as they appear on the uncurrent bill
over the "two dollars of the genu-
inc. He had sent the bill to a drug
store by a negro boy for change,
where the fraud was readily discov-
cred, and his arrest followed. Nc
Comb claims to have secured the bill
in a game of craps on the train be-
tween Bonneville and Aberdeen. He
was tried by Mayor J. M. Acker and
committed in default of 5000 bond.
He was also arraigned before United
States Commissioner B. G. Sims,
who required a bond Of $500 for ap-
pearance at the federal court. Fail
ing in both cases to make bond he
went to iail.

der, finally settling the merger con-
troyersy:
Whereas, The attorney general
has this day appeared before the
commission and advised that the
Southern Railway Company has ap-
piled to become q domestic corpora
ton and that the governor has issued
his proclamation accordingly; and,
Whereas, The attorney general
advises that, in his opinion, no SUBJ
stantial basis for the claim that the
Southern and the Mobile & Ohio are
parallel and competing within the
contemplation Of the law therefore,
be it
Resolved and ordered by the Mis-
sissippi railroad commission, That
the settlement made by the attorney
general of the controversy over the
purchase Of the Mobile & Ohio by
the Southern, by requiring the latter
to become a domestic corporation
and subject to the jurisdiction of
this State, be and the same is here
by ratified and approved. And the
commission, being satisfied, after
full consideration, that said rail
roads are neither parallel or Compel
ing in a local sense, and that there
is now no legal objection to the pur-
chase of the Mobile & Ohio railroad
by the Southern Railway Company,
it is ordered that all further consid-
GRAFTON of this matter by the COM
mission be finally dismissed"
The Mobile & Ohio was cited to
appear the first Tuesday in Novem-
Der to answer petitions for better
union depots at Meridian and Cor
NTH. The Yazoo & Mississippi Val
ley was cited to appear at the same
time to show cause why a depot
should not be erected at Parchman.
The Southern was granted per-
mission to abolish stations at Holly
Ridge and Cato, Washington coun-
ty, provided no vested rights were
disturbed, and to build a new depot
between these points.
The application Of the Western
Union to close the Pennington Of
flee was granted. The Yazoo & Mis-
sissippi Valley was granted permits
sion to abolish the ticket Office at

On account of the unfavorable
weather and most Of the speakers being
unable to be present, an informal
meeting Of the Farmers Institute for
Jefferson county was held at Shenan-
doah Junction last Saturday, and
talks were made by Hon. W. D, Zinn

A resolution was unanimously passed,
that it is the sense of the farmers at

quiring the spraying of orchards for
San Jose scale is good one, and we
pledge our hearty support to every
effort for its determination. 1t was
decided to hold the Institute on Thurs

Dissensions Among Our Officials.

The "hottest" time which has &C.
Cured at the town council meetings
since the porch question was agitated,
happened Monday night. The coun-
Gil met as usual and proceeded with
routine business. EVERYTHING was 60
ing along smoothly when a member
of the council arose and read num-
Der Of charges against Mayor Harrison
and moved that the charge of impeach-
ment be brought against him and that
he be suspended from Office. All this
was done with quickness and dispatch.
Recorder Billmyer took the chair and
put the motion before the house. 1t
was carried, all the members present
voting in favor of it except Mr.. Hum
rickhouse, who stood up for Mayor
Harrison. Recorder Billmyer was then
supposed to act as mayor and had just
begun to perform his official functions,
when Mr.. Harrison preferred certain
charges against him. Mr.. Harrisons
motion was Immediately tabled and
Mr.. Billmyer continued to act as may
or. The whole affair was terrible
mix-up. The chief aim Of the meet
ing seemed to be the ousting of Mr.
Harrison, which was done. Council
decided he was no longer mayor, and
as charges were brought against Mr..
Billmyer he cannot consistently act in
that capacity. Hence, the old ship of
state is without pilot. The climax
has not yet been reached, for on next
Monday night Mr.. Harrison will be ar
raigned in court and given a trial
and there may be further develop
ments of interest. The affair has Gre
ated much excitement in the town and
the proceedings will be noted with in
terest.
We learn that Mayor Harrison has
retained counsel to represent him, and
he has been advised that he is still
mayor of the town, and that it is hi.
duty and privilege to exercise the
functions of that office. He will &C
cordingly act as mayor and will trans
act business in that capacity until the
legal questions have been settled by
a court of competent jurisdiction.

Notes of The Railroads.

A blue print of the proposed righ'
of way of the Wabash railroad tt
connect the West Virginia Central al
Cumberland, and the Western Mary
land at Cherry Run, was recorded il
Morgan county recently. 1t parallels
the Baltimore 6 Ohio road from Cher
ry Run to near Hancock, distance
of ten miles. Then it crosses the Po'
tomac river into Maryland.
The Baltimore & Ohio has also filed
in the same county map of the pro-
posed extension of the Cherry Run
and Potomac Valley railroad, the
name by which the Baltimore and
Ohio cutoff is known. The location
extends from the Cherry Run end OF
the section under contract to about
half a mile west of Hancock and op-
posite the mouth of the Tonoloway
creek, which it will cross into Mary
land. going up through Fulton and
Bedford counties, Pennsylvania, to
Fairhope, on the Pittsburg division,
making a cutoff around Cumberland
and avoiding the Sand Patch grade.
1t follows the present line of the Bal
timore and Ohio tracks on the west
side, except that the new road is on
higher ground.
From the above items it looks as il
the Wabash and the B. & o. mean to
fight each other in dead earnest.
For the second time in the past
year the Norfolk and Western Railway
Company has granted an increase in
wages to the telegraphers employed
by this system. After a conference
between the general manager, L. Z.
johnson, of the Norfolk and Western,
and the committee ofthe Order Of Rail-
way Telegraphers to represent the
interests OF the operators, 1t was an
nounced yesterday that the road had
granted 10 per cent increase in the
pay of the operators, gwen them
shorter hours and overtime pay. The
change becomes effective January l,
and 600 men will be benefited.
For the Christmas and New Year
holidays the Norfolk and Western
Railway will sell excursion tickets
December % to % inclusive, and De-
cember q, 80 and 81 and January l,
limited to January, 1908.
