WORK is SUSPENDED
ON THE NEW ROAD
Difficulty In Securing Right OF Way
6igaH as Cause

The I told you so" crowd
will now have an opportunity of
getting in their work since the
Contractors on the Aberdeen
and Tombigbee Valley Railroad
have been instructed to quit
work. The reason for this act
ion it is said was because of the
difficulty of the promoters to
secure free right of way as was
assured by them to the parties
who are putting up the money.
Whether or not this is the real
reason, The Commercial does
not know, but if it is they made
their discovery at very late
date.

Many Columbus Citizen Finds the

No need to keep it up.
Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you.
Columbus people endorse this claim.
Mrs. A. s. Payne, living 801 Third
Ave, s. Columbus, Miss, says: 'The
results / obtained from the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills could not have been more
satisfactory. In 1903 | began having
trouble with my kidneys and for six
months I paid little heed 10 it until l
saw that my condition was becoming
worse and worse until the pain in my
back was almost unbearable and knew
tn t kidney complaint had obtained a
good hold on me. On many occasio. s /
could not stand for more than an hour
ut a time and my back would ache and
pain me followed by sharp twingeS. |
also suffered excruciating pains from an
inflnned condition of my bladder. So
intense was the scalding and burning
during passages of the secretions that
it was impossible for me to resist
creaming. 1 would h We to arise from
five to six times at night on account Of
their too frequent action, ard they were
very unnatural IN appe arance. | con-
suited physician in Memphis but did
not receive any relief, and then consult
ed doctors in Meridian, Greenville and
other cities but they did not help me.
When almost discouraged, | procured a
box of Doan's Kidney Pills at Mayo &
Weaver's drug store, and they brought
me great relief. continued taking the
remedy until I had used three boxes at
which time a positive cure was the re-
suit. For three years / have not felt a
return of my trouble, and consequently
/ cannot speak too highly in favor Of
Doan's Kidney Pills as kidney remedy.

BOOSTERS PLEASED
WITH COLUMBUS

Frank J. Bath, Correspondent
for the Nashville American. who
was with the Boosters here. last
week, has the following to say
about Columbus:
The meeting at Aberdeen
closed at 10 o. clock Tuesday
night. There are a number Of
Elks in the party. and these for
tunate human beings had the
Injuries of every accommodation,
including the much longed 10 K
for bath. The Aberdeen Elks
had a committee on haud TO see
that their brethren wanted for
nothing. Every one was in bed
Ly midnight except Sam Wool
wine, who rehearsed his speech
throughout the night.
st 1920 this morning the spe-
< 3 crossed the Tombigbee Riv-
el, and entered through the vide
open portals of Columbus. Here
rest the remains Of Stdphen D.
Lee. This city has d population
of 10. 000 The streets are wide
and lined with shade trees. As
one member put it: You can
hardly see the town for trees. "
The town boasts Of two rivers,
one being the Luxapalila. This
stream has its scource in the
mountains of Alabama. and flows
through the valley clear and
pure. furnishing Columbus with
its drinking water. The Indus
trial Institute and College at this
place IS the pride of Mississippi,
and has over 800 pupils enrolled.
This place Of learning won the
unstinted admiration 0 f the
Boosters. Within its walls the
girls Of Mississippi are taught
music. stenography, bOokkeep-
inc. dressmaking, millinery. etc
free of cost. A railroad is now
in course of construction from
here to Okolona and Pickens-
vile. Columbus boasts Of a
Board Of Trade. but calls it the.
Columbus Progressive Union.

This early morning gathering IN
the park was one Of the most
pleasant features of the trip. The
birds were in tune and trilled
the sweetest melodies. the dew
was still on the carpet-like lawn
and the sun gods kisses BROUGHT
the glisten of diamonds to lea f
