The business men of Corning are
Just now jubilant over the prospect
Of having an electric railroad come
thru here, from Redlng on the
north, to some point South. In
prospect of the road there has been
organized what they call Corning
Improvement club" The electric.
road folks want o little nbonus' ofa
few thousand dollars sin view Of
the fact that to make the detour
necessary to reach Corning would
cost the company about $4,000
more than to run along near the
river" The main object Of the club
Is to collect some "bonus" funds.
The promoter Of haywood colony
says lie will give $500 cash, and
$1,000 worth of land. Another lead
ing business man here says he will
give $4,000 and depot grounds. #
this road is built, north and south
thru here--another electric road
will quite likely be built this way,
running east and west, from the
river up to Paskenta. Q mountain
town twenty miles west. A bonus
fund of sS, ,20Ois already subscribed.
A syndicate has lately been organ
lied and 10000 acres ofland has been
purchased few miles south ofhere
IN Glenn county, for q sugar beet
plantation, and a sugar refinery.
II is said that one hundred houses
have been erected on the property
and all have been taken by tenants,
who will raise beets and other crops.
They propose to manufacture sO,-
100000 pounds Of granuiated sugar
q year and the factory will be ready
for this years crop. This new
town Of Hamilton, q few months
old offers business lots Is x lao
feet and residence lots, so x lao
feet, 1t $3.50 to $3.50 each. They
are evidently going to speculate on
real estate as well as beet sugar and
labor. 1t Is said the company will
expend sl,OO0.OOO on the plant,
Some foreigner. 8 dcouni," is at the
head of the firm.

First Appearance of Dandrufg a Fore
runner of Future Badness.
That such is the case has been con-
clusively proven by scientific research
Prof. Unna, the noted European skin
specialist, declares that dandruff is the
burrowed-up cuticle of the scalp, caused
by parasites destroying the vitality in
the hair bulb. The hair becomes lifeless
and, in time, falls out. This can be pre-
vented.
Newbro's Herpicide kills this dandruff
germ, and restores the hair to its natural
softness and abundancy.
Herpicfde is now used by thousands OF
people-all satisfied that it is the most
wonderful hair preparation on the mar
ket to-day

Tragedy. Man Who Did the
Killing Is in Jail.

Hardy Woods, a negro, is in jail
chargedowith killing Lon johnson.
The tragedy occurred Sunday morn
ing about 7 O'Clock on the farm OF
Mr.. w. C. Dillon, south Of Dawson.
It was the result OF family fuss.
johnson, who was step-son OF
Woods, was quarreling with his moth
er, and Woods became involved in the
difficulty. He picked up shotgun
that was sitting near and fired, the
load taking effect in Johnson's body
and killing him almost instantly.
Woods claims that the killing was
done in self-defense, as Johnson was
advancing on him with his hand in
his pocket as if drawing pistol. A
