Methods are many. A soc article is often advertised as @ 75c value. 'rrwouh often require a rubber imagination to do that value justice. And this self-same soc special (75c value) has never beenreduced, When we say 75c value, it means that WE formerly sold the article at 75c, not that some firm might sell it for 75c. See the point 2 One is actual reduction, The other is a method. We make 1t a rule i've say this in all mod esty) to state honest reduc- tions in our advertisements.

This new wick attachment is to be
found on the Perfection OIl Heater,
Interesting tests show that, although
the heater gives intense heat, the wick

One other feature which is worthy of
mention is the is the smokeless device
which prevents all smoke and odor.
The portability Of the heater also com

Heater is very light and can be easily
carried about. Its simple operation,
usefulness IN heating water and warm

heater is far superior to other oil heat

Sayings of Sam Jones.

Two qualities contributed perhaps
more than any others to the universal
success Of Rev. Sam P Jones. One Of
these qualities was his earnestness.
"Poor sermons and poor exhortation
with the spirit of earnestness behind
them will yield richer fruits than the
most powerful logic and ornate rhetoric
without the spirit of earnestness, he
said in his photographed sketch.
''Earnestness cannot be feigned. 1t is
like the natural and healthful glow on
maiden's cheek compared to the arti-
fetal coloring produced by rouge"

No one can take any special interest
in the machiney therefore. Under the
old system of one engineer to one en-
CINE, the engineer will take so much
interest in his charge that he spends
hours of his own time whipping the To-
comotive into shape, anxious to bring
out the best she can do, for she belongs
to him, and his pride is aroused. A
good engineers reputation does not
consist wholly in his ability to keep
his schedule time, but much of it rests
upon his being able to keep his engine
in good running order.

eer finishes his run he is glad to quit

Two Extra Trains on the Southern.

|
The Southern Railway will improve
its schedules on the Knoxville division,
and in order to do this extra trains
will be run. Trains known as Nos Al
and 42, arriving in Knoxville at approx
imately one and two O'Clock in the af-
ternoon, will be run in two sections.
At the time the-trains are due by the
schedule to leave Chattanooga and
Bristol these extra trains will be
started whether the regular trains are
on time or not. These extra trains
will be operated for the Knoxville di.
vision only. In other words they are
locals and are intended to relieve the
Knoxville division of the local business
carried regularly by trains Nos Al and
AZ, which are always overloaded.
This new arrangement will not
change the stops of the regular trains
on the Knoxville division. They will
stop as usual. The extra "forty-
and 'forty-two" will make only the
stops which the regular trains now
mage.
While the extra trains are intended
to relieve theregular trains of business
on the Knoxville division, yet the con-
nection at Bristol Will be of great ad-
vantage to the travelling public. As it
is at the present time the regular train
nearly always gets in Bristol too late
to make the Richmond and Norfolk
connections.
The Norfolk & Western also runs
trains Al and AZ in two sections, or
runs extras for these two trains. These
will doubtless adjust themselves to
connect with the extras which will
practically always be on time. This
will give through connection to the
east.
Going south there is Encouragement
whereby one can go on the extra train
and be carried on as if everything we're
moving on regular time. At present
the plan will be to wait connections
with the regular trains. 1t is thought
that the divisions south of Chattanooga
may follow example, set by Knoxville
division and run extras out on time.
This new arrangement goes into eff
feet on the Knoxville division to-day.
1t will be greatly appreciated By the
public, especially that part of it in
East Tennessee. The relief to the reg
ular trains which these extras will
give, ought to materially assist the
regulars in making up lost time while
traversing the Knoxville division.
Passenger traffic on the Southern
Railway is heavy and becoming more
and more so. The holiday business is
always such as to overtax the trains.
These two extra trains will greatly re.
lieve the public Inconvenience oi
crowded trains.
1t is believed that local business OF
the Southern Railway on the extrf
trains mentioned will be sufficient tC
fully Justify the policy, and it is to bt
hoped that the new trains will become
fixtures on the Knoxville division. -
