When b. FL. Matthews, the popular

many expressions of enviable praise.
To-day B. II. Matthews scores a new

the DR.. Howard Co. to allow him to
continue, for a limited time, selling
their regular fifty cent specific, sixty
pills in bottle, at half price, % cents.
In addition to selling a months treat
ment for quarter of a dollar, Mr.. Mat.
thews announces that he will give his
personal guarantee with every package
he sells, to refund the money if it does
not cure.
DR.. HOward's epecific for the cure OF
and dyspepsia is not
mere aid to digestion it is a scientific
that makes permanent cure of
the worst cases ofeOnstipation and dys-
pepsia. The dose is small, and 1t is
very pleasant to take.

GLENDALE.


1t is an unmistakable fact, that we are
the most progressive town in the country
and surging ahead with great rapidity
Every day brings new developments in
our industry and something new happens.
On Tuesday, Mr. Clayville, who re-
Gently came here from Seaford, and claims
to be an expert trucker, loaded two cars
with 1900 fine 4O-pound watermelons of
the Kolb Jem variety, and one car of
ROCKFORD canteloupes, and left at least
two more carloads in the watermelon
patch, which he was unable to handle
but loaded them the next day. This is
five cars of melons by one grower all
ready in one day from 4, 600 watermelon
hills, or ten acres each of watermelons
and canteloUpes. Mr.. Cayville is not
only giving employment to every availa-
bic team for hsaling but feeding every
melon hungry soul who wants melons.
Every boy in town is having a big feast,
free of charge.
W. S. DickcCson is also producing as
fine melons as good land and skill can
procure, but on a smaller scale. He only
grows for home market, which is has usual
custom.

with a severe blow by falling from his

STEVE RAILEY. THE VICTIM.
Well Known Farmer Residing South
Of This City Was Beaten and
Robbed Of Money Thurs
day Night.

After diligSt search by constabl"
Fox, Deputy Constable Hook and the
city police the victim Of the stick up''
Thursday night was found to be Steve
Railey, a well known farmer residing
south Of this city.
Mr.. Railey did not make known Of
his misfortune from the fact that he
did not want TO receive the notoriety
which which would be given him on
account of himself being the prosecut-
ing witness.
While beaten and bruised to some
extent, Mr.. Railey's injuries are not
serious. His loss was between five
and six dollars and as the amount
found by the police on the negroes,
Wright and Fuller, was s5T5, the loss
corresponds with the amount found.
The pocketbook which was burned by
the negroes did not contain a check as
was first reported.
Mr.. Railey states that he will appear
against the negroes when they are
brought TO trial.

JUMPS TRACK ON HIGH BRIDGE
Chicago & Alton Passenger Train
Saved From 90-Foot Plunge by
Rail.

A guard rail was all that prevented
a Chicago s. Alton passenger train
from plunging 90 feet off the 200-foot
bridge over the Plasa creek near Alton
Wednesday morning.
As the engine rounded a curve ap-
preaching the bridge the breaking Of
a truss spring caused it to jump the
track and it run for 800 feet before II
was stopped. 1t crossed the bridge on
the ties and stopped on the grade on
the south side. The last coach, known
as the ladies' coach, stopped on the
bridge, and as the passengers, most Of
them women, looked down nearly Q
hundred feet to the creek bed many
became hysterical.
The train, which was in charge Of
Conductor Arnold, had left Jersey

my tall friend looked at SO unconcern-
edly. That boy was W. D. Tucker.
My wish was soon to be gratified.
The next year we moved to town. Full
ton then contained less than $50
white inhabitants. But to me 1t was
the grandest city in the world; the
lofty mountains that surround 1t, with
their stupeudous bluffs; Stinson, the
magnificent river to the south, rolling
in silent majesty, and other environ.
meuts Of the city dwarfed In my youth
ful eyes the somewhat larger city Of
New York.
Since then / have seen mountains,
claimed to be higher, rivers claimed
to be wider and deeper, cities claimed
to be more magnificent. But / don't
believe word of it. Fulton to me is
still the biggest and best city in the
wide world.
/ have lived here, boy and man, a
long lifetime.
Many, many changes have taken
place, transforming the humble VII
lage into aflourishing city; but dearer
far to me is the old Fulton than the
new.
Longingly, but vainly, l look for
friends OF old. The aged are gone,
leaving scarcely a trace; the middle
aged are dimlY remembered. A
few gnarled and riven oaks remind me
OF the slightly grove Of youths, boys
and girls. But the tots, where are
they? / see around me some old men
and women with bent forms, wrinkled
faces and hoary heads, bearing their
names, whom time, the stern enchan-
ter, has placed in their stead, but,
thank Godl his malign power reaches
only to the river. On the other side
the spell shall be broken and, Divine
love will give back to us our agile
forms, bright eyes, ruddy cheeks
pure aspirations and best OF all, our
friends.
Then we shall know and love them,
even better than in the old, old time.
