held lengthy interviews with Shepler in

of the third days interview, Shepler sent

FsEw RAILROAD.

A movement has recently been
set on foot to build a railroad
from this city to Aberdeen. The
need for such line has long
been felt, as it will give Us di-
rect connection with the Illinois
Central and the Frisco, two Of
the most important railway sys-
TENS in the south. The new line
is to be called the Columbus,
Pensacola and Memphis railroad
and the incorporates are Judge
Messrs. E. G. Chapman,
Walter Weaver, P. W. Maer.
Warren Cox, of this city, Hon.
W. B. Walker, of Aberdeen, and
Judge Buchanon, of Memphis.
A charter for the completed road
will soon be applied for.

FIXING UP.

August is one of the dullest
months in the year in commercial
circles, and the merchants are
taking advantage of the oppor-
tunity which it offers for fixing
up things and preparing for the
fall trade. Many stores in various
portions of the city are being re-
painted and redecorated, and in
some instances entirely new fronts
have been put in. From all indi-
cations the coming season will be
the busiest and most prosperous
that we have had for many years,
and the msrchants are preparing
in advance for the large trade
which they expect to handle.

There is an old allegoricaI picture of a
girl scared at a grass hopper but in the
act Of heedlessly treading on a snake.
This is paralleled by man who spends
a large sum Of money building a cyclone
cellar, but neglects to provide his family
with bottle OF Chamberlain's Cole,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a safe
guard against bowel complaint, whose
victims outnUmber those Of the cyclone
a hundred to one. This remedy is every
where recognized as the most prompt
and reliable medicine in use for these
diseases. For sale by All Druggists.
