 It is announced from Chattanooga that fifty-seven new locomotives have just been delivered to the Southern railway and will be put immediately into the freight and passenger service. Twenty five new passenger coaches have also been received from the factory. This new equipment will greatly relieve the de- mand of the road for increased facilities for handling the business.
 Two years ago the company gave orders for ninety-seyen engines, but so many orders were on hand from other systems that the Southern was not able to get It's stock promptly. The other engines purchased when the first contract was made are being turned out as rapidly as possible, and further improvements may be expected as soon as those mentioned are put into commission.

Veranda Gossip.

Nights are coming now when lovers seek the veran- das-Yes, old folks, too Nothing adds to comfort more than a few "Old Hickory" chairs. Nothing enters into the construction of this furniture but hickory, the strongest of our native woods. The bottoms and backs are plaited by hand, the inner growth hickory bark, which can be stripped from the tree only at certain seasons of the year. This hickory bark is of far greater strength than any other seating material. All frame work is made from young hickory saplings with the bark on and the product is delightfully."- rustic in appear ance. A beautiful veranda chair as low as $I.75 each. Rockers to match soc extra. Don't fail to see our new stock, fresh from the green woods.

hN Iss ALvIS HERMAN has returned lNl from Chattanooga, where she was the guest of Mrs. John W. Slbley. Miss Ehrman was one of the pronounced beauties of the season and received a great deal of attention. Her friends are congratulatlng her upon her narrow es- cape in an automobile accident last Fri day. Mss Ehrman and MT. John Hutch ison of Chattanooga, were in the latter 8 automobile and were returning from Chickamauga park, where they had wit messed a practice drill by the Seventh cavalry, which is preparing to enter the contest at the Madison Square garden.
 Miss Ehrman was guiding the auto mobile. which was going at rather fast rate, when she lost control and ran the automobile against tree. Both she and MT Hutchison were thrown out and the automobile was damaged to the extent Of several hundred dollars.
 That they escaped without serious ln- jury is considered nothing short of miraculous. The accident was similar to that which resulted in the instant death of MT. and Mrs. Fair near Paris last summer.

Every American should contrib ute to this fund and explain that our colonial tea will be given for the purpose of augmenting this fund"
