rr,a-s . watch for . Chicken.

Henry Davis, a young negro who claims Pensacola as his home, appeared in police court this morning on the charge of grand larceny. About week ago N. A. Luther. an express mes- senger on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, who runs from Selma to Myr- tiewood, left his watch with Ticket Agent Clark at the Louisville and Nashville depot. The next day coat that belonged to Mir. Clark was stolen. In the coat pocket was MT. Luther's watch.
 Last Saturday country negro was in the city and offered to trade watches with A. J. Stocks. Mir. Stocks carried the watch to a pawnbroker to see what 1t was worth The pawnbroker inform ed him that the watch had been stolen and that there was a reward for it. The police were notified and as a result arr rested Henry Davis for the theft.
 The principal witness against Davis was Scott Brown, who tried to trade the watch last Saturday. He lives about seven miles from the city on the Smith place, and told how Davis had come to him one evening and said he was chicken hungry, and bought Il chicken from him. Davis had no money to pay for the chicken, so he left the watch, valued at about $50. until he could get some money. Later he asked the negro from whom he had bought the chicken if he thought the watch would be pay enough for tho fowl and when the negro consented to the trade, told him to keep the watch.
 In court this morning Davis swore that he had bought the watch from pawnshop in Pensacola. He stated that he had paid $450 and said that he could get witnesses in that city to prove it. His story was not believed by Acting Mayor Berry and a fine of $45 or ninety days on the streets was imposed against him, and as he has not the money to pay the fine, will work out the ninety days.

This is what the "CofOneI'' said to the Sultan of Sulu, and describes the way you feel af- ter drinking sanitary soda water from Dowe's new 2Oth Century Sanitary Fountain.
 Dove is nothing if not pro- gressive. He has adopted the modern idea in soda dispensing, by setting up and operating for the convenience of his custom- CTS, the most beautiful soda fountain in the State. He will show you also that if you drink goth Century Sanitary Soda Water, you take no chances with microbes or metallic pOf- sons. The old style soda foun- tain, with its dripping spigots, syrups concealed in Ice cham bers and subject to the germs of typhoid and other diseases that are released from impure melting ice, belongs to the past. In this wonderful fountain the syrups are in plain sight. They are stored in sterilixed glass containers standing on ice and pOuFeu Ih tnckr UEt8hn@A chss

It is distinctly mod ern, and the delicious beverages served are pure and heaithfuI. MT.

Railroad Notes.

Freight shipments over the main line
of the Pennsylvania railroad between
Pittsburg and New York last week
broke all records for a like period in
the history of the system In the matter
of the number of cars moved it was the
greatest week that has ever been
known. not only on the Pennsylvania
but on any other road IN the United
States or Europe. The total of daily
movements on the three main line divi-
sions of the lines east Of Pittsburg how
cred close to 90, 600 cars, and in one in-
stances a maximum for one day ship
ments was reached when the company
handled %, $50 cars. This represents
the total shipment for one day over the
Pittsburg, middle and Philadelphia
divisions.
The New York Central has decided
to spend more than 81 700, 600 in relay
ing all the main line tracks with 100
pounds rails. Orders for 50, 600 tons of
rails have been placed and the work of
laying them has been started The
action marks a new era IN the opera
ton of railroads. Only last year the
company was busy renewing old rails
with the S5-pound type, and now these
are to be replaced with still heavier
ones This will require 10000 tons of
rails. all of which will be purchased in
this country except $4,000 tons, which
are to be secured in Canada for the
Michigan Central lines there.
