New Road to the Cimar.
ron River.

A new road is to be established
from Meade to the Cimarron river
bridge, to accommodate the people
in that vicinity. The bridge was
built through the efforts of the bust
ness men of Meade, R. A. Harper,
Bridge Commissioner making a per-
sonal effort pushed it to completion.
This new road will be kept in first
class shape so that there will be no
long pulls through the sand. Every
one should give every possible as
sistance to get this road completed
so that Meade will be easy accessible
with heavy loads. Many more peo-
pie from the south would come to
Meade if there was good road.
Now that we have the bridge, we
are going to have good road so
there will be no excuse for the peo-
pie from the south not coming to
Meade to do their trading. Let's
have a good road to the Cimarron,
and let's have good roads all over
Meade county and show the new
conner that we are alive and are
keeping abreast with the older COM
munities along these lines.

DIR. w. w. Simpson, dentist, who
makes regular trips to the city in the
interest of his profession, informs us
that the town of Meade is figuring
on building a town hall after the
style of the one here. He is get
ting some of our ideas of how to
construct such building. He says
if Liberal can build a hall started
by a subscription of less than a
thousand dollars, Meade can surely
do so, for he figures that Meade is
so anxious that fully two or three
thousand dollars can be raised in
short time by popular subscription.
However, there will be one thing
noted in this popular subscription
business. 1t is possible for sub
scription paper to be filled with
promises to most any amount of
money, but when the time comes to
collect, the subscription list in any
other place than Liberal will sudden
ly shrink to only few signers.
Meade is able to build hall and
ought to do so, but there is con-
siderable hustling to do, and when
the hard work comes in the pro-
moters will find that labor for the
good of the hall only will be hard to
find. Liberal has a good hall, about
the cosiest place for entertainments
in the west, and when the building
is completely furnished as is the in
tention, it will be the best and most
elaborate place for meetings, con-
ventions and shows in the western
part of the state. If Meade follows
the lick that Liberal has introduced
she will be the third town in the
state to copy our plans and schemes
to garner the necessary funds to
build hall.-Liberal News.
Simpson is doing just what he
said he could and all our subscrip-
tions to the hall will be paid.

They drew SIS from the county
treasurer from their prairie dog fund.
They expended $3.50 for a scraper
and about Sc for other incidentals
and about S25 for township officers
salaries, making the total expendi-
lures about $50 for the year. No
amounts were paid for any work on
the roads with the scraper. This
work, if any was done, may have
been gratis. Or, maybe, the scrapel
was purchased for future use, think
ing the price of scrapers might. ad

TRADE is QUIET
IN CHATTANOOGA
Labor Is Very Scarce and Men viii
Probably Have to Be
Imported.

Chattanooga. May 20.-(Special.) The
week just ending has been very quiet
one in industrial circles. There have been
no big deals contaminated by the large
manufacturers. This is probably owing
TO the fact that many ofthe most impor-
tant manufacturers have been in Atlanta
attending the annual convention of their
association this week and therefore have
been unable to give as much time and
attention TO business as ordinarily.
The work of the Chattanooga Blast Fur
mace company in reconstructing the plant
west of Cameron Hill. which was former
~ owned by the Chattanooga company, is
progressing rapidly, and the indications
are that it will be blown in by October /.
Labor Is very scarce here. and unless
some relief is afforded soon 1t is thought
that men will have to be imported from
the east to carry on the common labor
which is necessary on building and i'm
proving different sections o. the city.
The addition of Highland park which
was decided at an election held last Tues
day, will probably increase the demand
for common laborers, as there will be
several municipal buildings to be erected
in the new ward soon, and all the streets
and sidewalks will be rebuilt.

NEW ELECTRIC LINE
NOW SEEMS ASSURED
Plan Is to Run Road From Chatta.
nooga to Ducktown BY Way of
Ringgold, Ga.

Chattanooga. May 2O.-(Special)-It is
thought that the work on the new cleo
trio railway to be erected between Chatta-
nooga and Ductown, Tenn, via Ringgold,
Ga. will be started within the next thir-
ty days.
All the prelminaries have been arranged
and when one or rwo. of the minor de-
tails have been settled upon, advertise
ments will be issued for bids the
work. w. ]. Oliver & Co. and the Gala
han Construction company, both Knox
Vile have had representatives looking
over the work during the past few days.
S. w. Divine, the promoter of the road
has been at the head OF several electric
railways through the south and east and
is one of the most experienced men to
be found in this line of work in the coun-
try. Several years ago he built the Rapid
Transit road which has a mileage of about
thirty miles, spreading in different direc-
tons from this city to suburban points
The new road will tunnel Missionary
ridge directly east of the city In this
way several miles can be saved as 9th
erwise long detour would have had to
have been made several miles south, SO
that road could have gone into Georgia
through the same gap which the Rapid
Transit now enters.
Because of the fact that this tunnel
will be erected, it is stated that the Louis
vile and Nashville will enter the city on
the line of the new railway very
heavy roadbed will re laid and track suf-
heient to carry any weight trains will be
erected
All the necessary grants for the work
have been secured and there seems t.
be no hinderance in the commence ment
oil the work.

NERVOUS -EMACIATED-NO APPETITE
During the Spring Months Many Women Suffer From
Extreme LasStude, otherwise Known as Spring Catarr
What I heSe Women Need is
Pe.ru.na, the Spring
Tonic.

"A nervous person is one who has only
a small stock Of vitality.
Eaeh day little more vitality is ex-
pended than is gained
Nervousness Is more common among
| women than men
women are more apt to overtax their
| vitality in many ways
instead of taking nervines, some
medicine should be taken that will
promote digestion and sound sleep.
Sleep Is the great invigorator of the
nervous system.
Good digestion furnishes the proper ma
terials from which nerves are made.
Sleep and digestion-these are the cor
ner stones of strong nerves and splendid
health.
Peruna produces good digestion by
correcting any catarrhal condition
that may exist in the stomach or
bowels.
Peruna equaliZes the circulation of the
