The only rational way to euro dys-
pepsia is To remove the catarrh. peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. II cures catarrh
and leaves the stomach to perform diges-
ton in II natural way. This is vastly
better and safer than rcsorting 20 arti-
fetal methods or narcotics.
pcruua has cured more cases OF dys-
pcpsia than all other remedies COM

wherever located. If catarrh is located
in the head, pcruna cures it, II catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Pcruna cures IL. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Pcruna cures it, as well in this location

TROLLEY Line
TO BE BUILT

where the agriculturalist reigned
supreme have become the scene OF
busy hamlets and towns and cities
when connected with the outer
world by bands of steel.
The evolution of railroads con-
stitute one of the most interesting
portions of the industrial history
of this country. However humble
the beginning of the road may
have been, however small in ex-
tent, imperfect and crude in con-
struction, limited in equipment,
we have seen it grow and expand
and increase until sooner or later
it has been recognized as a pros
porous and profitable institution,
and has either become trunk line
or a portion Of one. =,
And as we observe this evolu-
ton in railroads, we can not but
ntice the accompanying prosper
ity and development OF the coun-
tries through which they pass.
New towns spring up along their
lines. new industries invade their
territory, the natural resources OF
the country are developed, the
population increases, banks are es-
tablished, and a new era has come
bringing with it new life in every
thing and anything that tends to
the advancement of the communl-
ties and prosperity of the people.
All these things follow a rail-
road. and the more railroads we
have the more pictures like these
pass before the eye. A county
with one railroad is benefited, a
county with three is trebly so. We
cannot have too many. We can
have too few. To have none is
to stay in practically the same
condition year after year. We
don't want to do that in Tyler
county. We have been prosperous
beyond expression. We have been
benefited and blessed exceeding
ly. Money has come in streams
which only a few years ago we
never dreamed of. 1t has gone
into every home, it has helped ev-
cry family, it has made the fire
glow more brightly upon every
hearthstOne. But the history OF
all oil counties will be the history
of ours. The time will come when
the oil business instead OF being
the great business will assume a
minor position. Manufactures
will take it's place. Industries
must supply the constantly de-
creasing stream of revenue COM
ing from oil. Me must look else
where for a continuance of our
good times.
To what shall we look? First,
supply the conditions. What are
they9 Transportation facilities.
How shall we get them? By build
ing railroads.
The people of this city and sur
rounding country south of us,
will naturally be delighted that
the long-talked-of trolley line to
be constructed to points south IS
at last an assured fact. Sisters
vile and Friendly will be con-
by an electric railway ere
the chilly blasts of winter have ar
rived. This is good and reliable
news. and will be hailed with JOY
