Alex Tabor in Trouble.

That genial soul, Alex Tabor, Of
Falls Mills, was in the city on Monday,
and paid US pleasant visit. Alex Is
one OF the very few old bachelors left
In his community, and the fact that he
had marriage Hscense in his pocket
upset him. and got him into trouble
before he left town. When he left the
Ratliff Hotel, where he got dinner, he
wore off another mans overcoat. The
mistake was discovered by the other
man, who found strange property in
pockets Of the coat. But Alex was
gone and discovered the mistake when
he looked for certain goods he had
purchased here. Fortunately the aiore.
said marriage liscense was in another
coat pocket. If coming to town, and
carrying a marriage liscense In hii
pocket so excites him. how in the worIt
will he act when he stands before tn
altar.

Changes in Business
at Tip Top

able proportions in business circles at

the fine farm of w. T. Hufrord, which
he purchased a year or two ago from
Mrs. Capt. Jno. ID. Alexander, for the
price Of $4,000 Mr.. Hufford bought
the Smoot property at Tip Top for
$4,000. MI. Smoot will continue the
goods business at Tip Top for one
year, with the privilege OF five years,
as we understand it.
Mr.. Smoot has been for years. a
successful merchant in that communi-
ty, and will be greatly missed should
he finally drop out Of the business en-.
tirely. However, Mr.. Hufford is a fine
business man, and will fill the bill a,
Tip Top exactly.

Four Hundred Men at Work-ReaI
Estath Boom-Electric Line.

Mr.. NJ. X. Clark, Superintendent
for Sands and Oliver, who have about
IA miles OF the new road under con-
cract on Dry Fork, has been at the
Ratliff this week.
Mr.. Clark says that by Feb. 1st, he
will have about 400 men at work on
his contract. At present there are
about 300, and the number is being in
creased as rapidly as possible.
This gentleman further says that the
line will be built TO the Virginia line
this spring, which will bring the ter
minus within about twelve miles OF
Tazewel, and fully agrees with this
paper, that our electric line should be
extended so as to connect with it. Such
a line would be of great benefit to this
community, and would of course prove
remuneradve TO the stock holders.
REAL ESTATE BOOM.
Already several town cites have been
laid out along the new line, and town
lots are being sold. Miner City and
Central City are the names OF two
already started. Lots are selling in
these supposed dreary wilds, ar from
5000 to $1,000 per lot, already. With
in few years what is now n thinly
settled, rough country, will be thickly
populated with growing towns, and a
prosperous population. Who would
have thought it?

No Chloride of Lime for Him.

Pat Egan, plasterer, and we'll
known character of Cambridge, Mass,
walked into a shoe store on Massachu-
sets avenue on Saturday evening re-
Gently to purchase a pair OF shoes.
says a writer in the Boston Herald.
After looking over three or four pairs
of shoes he hit upon one pair that
took his fancy. He tried them on,
and found that they did not pinch or
chafe, but complained that they went
on too hard.
ooh, thatll be all right, Mr. Egan;
I'll easily fix that remarked the
clerk, who Immediately took the shoes
off and proceeded to sprinkle powder
into them.
He was about to try them on Pat
again, when the latter stood wrath
fully up in his stocking feet and shout
ed out:
ooh, no, you don't! No, you don't!
Mr.. Bell! Mr. Bell! Come here!
Come here! I've bought shoes of you
for the lost foive years, but the divil
a shoe will | buy of you again. This
brazen-faced clerk of yours tried to
put chloride of lime in my shoes, but
was too smart for him.

Why Mother is Proud.

Look in his face, look in his eyes,
Rougish and blue and terribly wise
Rougish and blue but quickest to see
When mother comes in as tired as can
be;
Quickest to find her the incest old chair;
Quickest to get to the top OF the stair;
Quickest to see that a kiss on her cheek
Would help her far more than to clatter
to speak.
Look in his face, and guess, If you can,
Why mother Is proud of her little man
The mother is proud will tell you
this;
You can see it for yourself in her ten
der kiss
But why? Well, of all her dears,
There is scarcely one who ever hears
The moment she speaks and jumps to
What her want or her wishes may be,
Scarcely one. They all forget,
Or are not in the notion to go quite yet,
But this she knows, If her boy Is near,
There is somebody certain to want to
hear.
Mother is proud, and she holds him fast,
And kisses him first and kisses him last;
And he holds her hand and looks In her
face,
And hunts for her spool which is out Of
place,
And proves that he loves her whenever
he can
That is why she is proud of her little
man.

DISTRESS AFTER MEALS
Sure Sign That Dr.WllIiams' Pink Pills
Are Needed to Tone Up the
Digestive Organs.

Loss of appetite, distress after eating,
shortneSs of breath, feeling of utter
Nsakness-these are symptoms that are
familiar to most sufferers from stomach
trouble Too often the ordinary doctors
treatment serves but TO weaken the dis
eased organs.
The new tonic method of treating dis
orders of this kind does not aim to do the
work of the stomach, does not demand
that the food be pre-digested, but builds
up the weakened organs, 50 that they can
do the work that nature intended.
Mrs. L.O. Law, of No. 324 North street.
Horton, Kansas, says: "ln 1897, while
we were living on farm i'll tins neigh
