Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the whole
system when entering it through the
mucous surfaces. Such articles should
never be used except on prescriptions
from reputable physicians, as the damage
they will do is ten fold to the good you
can possibly derive from them. Halls

Farms for Rent.

The Lakeside farm, sometimes call

is the most suitable property for
keeping dairy with view to selling
in the City of Morris, milk, cream,
bu ter, etc., and garden products
anywhere around Morris, and have
concluded to offer it for rent provided
[ can get the right sort of tenant
Section % in the township of Nor
ris, usually called the Stanton farm, is
adequate to keep, and the structures
are both suitable and adequate to keep
one hundred head of cattle and horses
and twice or three times as many
sheep and hogs and for that property
| want tenant experienced in that
line of farming to whom | will rent
that property for three or five or ten
years or longer.
Section II in the township of Dom
nelly is an excellent section to be
farmed, either to raise grain or for
mixed farming or for dairying and for
the right tenant, I will rebuild the
barn so as to make it suitable to keep
thirty or forty COWS and rent that
farm for three or five or ten years or
longer. It's nearness to Donnelly
makes it desirable. I have other
farms which / also desire to rent.

willing to apply your common sense, l will
tell you a few facts of common knowledge
in the real estate business. but very little
appreciated by the average investor.
Thu first big rule of real-estate Investment
is, Buy on direct transit routes" In New
along the Third avenue and the old Metro
politan, or Sixth and Ninth avenue, elevated
routes. You can see how this principle still
rules by noticing the fringe" development
along the Subway extension Just how and
why it is that men who will stay up all night
to- walk around a billiard table. and their
wives and sisters, who would prefer n de-
automobile. refuse to live more than a block
or two at the very most from a direct line
of transit a wiser than / must answer. /
only know it is a fact. The same thing holds
good in Brooklyn. YOU can see this fringe"
growth in whlche yer direction you choose
TO look.
The keynote of real-estate investment
then Is, BUY ON MAIN TRANSIT LINES.
This has been our guiding rule of policy.

ness. If you wanted to turn you Borough
Park holdings into a paying investment at
present you could only, under the %restrio-
lions, put up one villa house on your cox
100 foot corner plot, for one family only, and
thus you could obtain but one. rent for your
three lots. Now, II you could build fats

selling the first lots as low as $3.50 each, there
were only twenty-three houses on. the en-
tire tract: now there are over two thousand,
which explains why we are selling the lIst
lots OF this operation at an average price of
81 500, and the top-notch lots there at such
prices as 1850 each. Two years ago. when
we began selling Westminster Heights Park

On the Broad street property they will build a modern stors house which will be occupied by them, and on the other they will erect a modern fire proof cotton warehouse. The con- struction of both buildings will commence at once and will be completed at the earl fest date possible
 The police think they have made a valuable catch in the person of Turner Lewis, the young white man who was given a heavy sentence last week for rob- bing a drunken farmer. Two more victims came up today and identified Lewis as the man who robbed them. One of the men lost $20. Lewis Is said to hail from At lanta. He was of medium size, clean shaved and wore good clothes.
 James Gatman, aged 65 years died at his home near this city yesterday after a short Illness. MT. Gatman was a stone mason by trade and built the piers for the Coosa river bridge in this city and many public buildings throughout this section of the state He Is survived by widow. one daughter and four sons.
 D. Reich, owner of the Printup hotel in this city, announces that he will have the hotel remodeled and all modern conven- fences installed at once. A complete new steam heating plant will be placed in the building, also an elevator and telephone system. The building will be repainted and papered throughout. The hotel was built some twenty years ago at cost of S75 600 and when built was considered one of the finest in the state.
 The Coosa river commenced to rise yes terday and today had come up some twelve feet, and was still rising rapidly this afternoon. Owing to the heavy con tinued rains throughout this section 1t is feared that the river will reach dangerous proportions before it begins to fall. The rainfall for the past forty-eight hours, according to the official weather bureau, was 4.32 inches
 A colony of several thousand swallows, or chimney sweeps, have taken up their temporary abode in the chimneys of the court house and attract a great deal of at tention in the evening as they circle over the building in a black cloud. They have made the building and surroundings very offensive, and the authorities have decided to cover the chimney tops with wire net ting to keep them out.
 The heavy windstorm of last week which was followed by almost continuous rain has caused incalcuable damage to the farming interests of this section Cotton was blown from the bolls and that which was not thus damaged has been badly stained by the rain. Corn was blown down and unless it stops raining soon will rot on the ground. Owing to the late season a great deal of the cotton crop had not been picked over the first time.
 During the rain storm yesterday, brick chimney on the building at the corner of Broad and Fourth streets toppled and fell to the sidewalk with a crash. This is one of the most prominent corners in the city and is usually crowded but owing to the rain no one was out, otherwise some one might have been killed
