SOLONS TO TALK ON
LIGHTS AND WATER.
at Meeting of The Council
Tonigh.
WANT ACTION TAKEN
Council 10 Now Deliberatins 5etwe on
Two Propositions for Lights and
Street Railway-Meetine Tonight
Will Be important One.

The session of the city council to-
night will be an important one mas
much as that body will, in all probable
ity, take definite action regarding the
two propositions submitted week ago
relative to franchises covering an cleo
trio plant and street railway.
Two separate companies have thus
submitted propositions to the council
fully setting forth the terms upon
which they are willing to make large
investments in Americas.
These propositions have been fully
Investigated by that body.
And at the meeting tonight, in all
probability, decision Will be arrived
at and definite action taken. AS the
propositions carry the construction of
an electric railway and installation of
a modern electric plant, they are all
important.
And citizens ofAmericus are anxious
that these utilities be secured as soon
as possible, and upon the most advan-
tageous terms. 1t is an opportunity
that cannot be permitted to pass.
AT the meeting OF the Board of Trade
on Tuesday night the subject was dis
GUESSED at great length and the follow
ing resolution adopted.
''REsOLvED; that it is to the interest
of Americas that an early and definite
contract be made for lighting at the
same time securing a system of street
railway in the city, and that the city
council be furnished a copy of this
resolution.
At the meeting of the Board of Trade
representatives of the companies max
ing propositions for city lighting and
the construction of an electric railway,
now before the council, addressed the
Board at length IN advocacy of their
respective claims.
In conclusion, vote was taken as to
the views of members regarding the
operation and ownership of the electric
and gas lighting plants Jointly or sepa-
rately, resulting in Is for separate
ownership and 4 for joint ownership
and operation.
Doubtless a large delegation of inter
ested citizens will attend the meeting
of council TONIGHT.

GUARANTEED STOMACH REMEDY.
90 sons Dug Store Will Refund Mon.
ey if Mi o-na F ais to Cure.

You may ask why it is that Mi-o-na
stomach tablets are sold by Dodson's
Drug Store under guarantee to refund
the money unless they cure, when no
other treatment for stomach troubles is
sold in this manner.
The answer is simple and conclusive.
Other medicines for stomach troubles
merely digest the food, while Mi-o-na
strengthens the whole digestive system
so that it soon becomes able to care for
all the food that is eaten.
If you do not use your arm or leg for
a month the muscles become tiabbY and
weak and you have to resort to artific-
ial help. 1t is the same way with the
stomach muscles. If they are not used,
they become so weak that it is neces-
sarY to continue using digestive with
the food you eat.
On the other hand, when you use
Mi-o-na, your stomach soon grows SO
strong that you can give up the use of
medicine.
Mi-o-na costs SOC a box and does
more real good than a dozen boxes of
ordinary digestive tablets. The proof of
this is shown in the fact that guaran-
tee, absolute and unqualified, is given
by Dodson's Drug Store with every box
of Mi-o-na. 10, 81, 81.

Dangers of Cold and How to Avoid
Them.

More fatalities have their origin in or

Remedy has been recognized as the
most prompt and effectua1 medicine in
use for this disease. 1t acts on nature S

The Grip.

Before we can sYmpathize with
others, we must have suffered our
selves" No one can realize the suf-
fering attendant upon an attack of the
grip, unless he has had the actual ex-
perience. There is probably no disease
that causes so much physical and men
tai agony, or which so successfully de-
fies medical aid. All danger from the
grip, however, may be avoided by the
prompt use of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy. Among the tens of thousands
who have used this remedy, not one
case has ever been reported that has
not recovered. For sale by Eldridge

Being a strong young man has It's
disadvantages in Turkey. Elsewhere,
military service is seldom obligatory
In times of peace for more than three
years. whereas in the sultan's realm 1t
is no unusual thing for soldier to be
kept in the army for seven years. But
the young Turk seems to be wonder
fully patient. A German correspondent
at Salonica had occasion thu other day
to observe a number of military men
at a railway station. They had been
discharged and had taken their seats
In the train, when, shortly before II
was to leave, a message came from
headquarters stating that the mazbada
regarding their return had not arrived
and that there was no money anyway
to pay for their passage. Without
word of complaint the troops left the
train and went into camp, where they
had to wait several weeks before the!
were finally sent home. There have
however, been signs of disaffection o
late. and the minister of war has pre-
claimed his intention Of shortening
the time of service.

Hasten the MouIt.

II Is the common belief tpat the
poultry keeper can hasten the period
of moulting of the early Matched BIRDS.
This is true, in a measure, but IN
measure only. 1t is natural that late
Matched birds will moult late, ana
early-hatched birds will mott early
and when moulting is Influenced at all
IT cannot be for more than two or
three weeks.
When the bird is about hve or SIX
months of age, the -ormer date being
preferable, feed on light ration for
a week or two. If the bird is in the
habit of getting all it can eat In the
wards it should be confined for part
| of the day in the houses or lots where
there is no feed. Fasting IN this way
| will start the mott AS soon as the
melting is over and the new feathers
begin to start, the bird should be
given a ration which includes an
abundance of heterogeneous feed. Sun
flower seed, wheat bran and prepared
chick foods which are known to be
| rich in nitrogen should be used. Sun
! flower seed is the best of those named
and If the farmer has supply OF II
he need invest in no other similar
feed. Feed containing goodly sup
ply of nitrogen rapidly assists IN the
production of feathers. SO the bird Il
in full feather before winter sets IN.
/ It sometimes happens that birds
which are Matched very early In ths
spring do not mott as early as tnes
should, and for such birds the abov'
suggestions will be- fpEnd especially
beneficial.-Inlap4 Farmer.

Perfumes to Arabia.

Once more is brought to mind the
changes wrought through the turning
Of times whirligig. Who would nave
thought that America, an unknown
land when the east was at the height
of it's fame, would ever become q
caterer to special oriental RAD!
There was a time when the east was
noted as the originator Of various lux
uries, including perfumes OF the most
exquisite order. Shakespeare hints at
this when he makes Lady Macbeth al
firm, after the indelible mark of crime
has been impressed: IAN the per.
fumes of Arabia will not sweeten this
little hand" Yet now, says the Troy
Times, It seems Arabia may get It's
perfumes from the United States. Con-
sui William Coffin, stationed at Maskat,
says there is an excellent chance for
the sale of the American article In
that quarter, remarking: "Perfumery,

perfumes in order to attract native

that there is an opportunity for secur

Kentucky Leads in Tobacco.

The agricultural department az
Washington has just published statis-
tical information regarding agricul-
tural matters in Kentucky and other
states, which shows that Kentucky
leads in tobacco, having twice the
acreage in that crop and several times
as large crop as North Carolina,
her nearest competitor. The Ken
lucky acreage in tobacco in 1906 was
100000, and the average yield Of to-
bacco per acre was $40 pounds. The
total production was 252,S00, 900
pounds. The total production was
252 800 900 pounds, which brought an
average farm price on Dec. last OF
IT cents, and an aggregate farm value
on the same date of SIS. AT 100. This
was more than twice as much as the
value Of Ohio tobacco, which was ST..
$780, 900.
