Butler. of Chipley, Fla, promoters of the railroad to be built from St. Andrews Bay to Birming- ham and to discuss with them the feas- ibility of building the road through
 On motion of Frank Pennington, J. s. Carroll was named as Chairman and $. A. Williams, secretary. Major Cor don spoke of how Troy would be bene- fitted by this road in many ways and said that any donation to be made would not be called for until the steel rails were laid. The road is already almost completed from St. Andrews Bay to Chipley and @ survey has been made to Eufaula. Eufaula has prom ised a large donation, railroad termI- nus and rtght-of- way, but Troy being directly on the nearest route, it is thought much more practicable to build it this way.
 William Jenkins and W. F. CIem- mons, of Hartford and J. M. Pitcher, Of Slocomb were in the visiting party and Hartford and Slocomb are. both extreme ly anxious for this road to be built through these two towns and Enter prise and on to Troy and all three of these towns are willing to make hand some donations If they can secure the road.
 Dothan is anxious to secure the road, but they have not been able to raise the necessary amount to induce the promoters qf the road to go so much out of the way.
 Interesting talks were made bY Mayor Talbot, Judge Whites w. B. tol. mar, L. NJ. Bashinsky and others. A committee of five was appointed to solicit a subscriptio to be used as donation and the following gentlemen were appointed: F. M. Pennington, l.. NJ. Bashinsky, W. R. White, w. B. Folmar and J. s. Carroll.
 The committee was called to meet immediately after adjournment, but only met and adjourned to meet again this afternoon when definite plans were set on foot by which the neces- sary amount of money can be raised to secure this road

The Influence of the Di-
 gestiVe Organs on Health

Few realize how much their N digestive organs, stomach and
 intestines, influence their gener- 2 al health.
 . A sound man lives oblivious of : his stomach. and your physician 1 will tell you that ninetenths of all diseases have their origin in w the digestive organs.
 It is a common sense statement . that wholesome food naturally digested and assimilated. is nee
 essary to health.
 Indigestion. a disease of the ' digestive organs, prevents and : makes impossible the proper d. gestion of food. It differs in
 symptoms and effects. but is, fortunately, generally recognized l by the sufferer.
 To remove the effect you must W remove the cause. Cure the di-
 gestive organs; nothing else will
 be of permanent benefit
 4 remedy that has cured hun
 dreds of people. and Is endorsed . by eminent physicians. who have D given 1t a thorough test, is cer- a tainly worthy of a trial MT. D. T, Pittman, we'll : known travelling representative, of St. Louis, says
 : previous to taking St. Bernard Extract of Bark. I experienced a \ great deal of difficulty in digest
 ing meats or anything sweet. and . my appetite was poor at all times. I am now beginning my second bottle and eat heartily three times a day without suffering
 any inconvenience, and believe } in time will effect a cure. q unhesitatingly recommend it to any. one suffering with indi- | gestion." - Insist on having ST.
