The Aberdeen & Tombigbee
Valley Railroad.

Work at all points on Aberdeen
& Tomdigbee Valley Railway
was this week suspended until
further notice. This condition
of affairs has been caused by re-
ons that no one seems able to
account for, and are explained in
various and sundry ways by
as many different authorities
as care to express themselves on
the subject, but none are
sufficiently satisfactory to war
rant assumption Dy us. The
work of SURVIVING. grading,
bridging and cutting cross ties
was progressing as favorably
could be wished for in the
the neighborhood Of Aberdeen.
and the suspension came as a
surprise to all concerned.
On Wednesday of this week
contractor L. M. Peters settled
in full with every sub contractor
and others who had claims for
work under his general
contract, and gave instructions
in each instance for plants and
camping quarter is be retained
for ten days in anticipation of
resumption.
Whatever the trouble may de-
velop to be, it is the firm belief
by the laity as we'll as contractors
and officials, that the supension
is for only a brief times, and
that the tangle will be unravled
and work started again in a few
days. s.-Aberdeen Weekly.
It is sincerely hoped that the
trouble will be brushed away
and the good work go on. The
entire country feels an interest
in all material developements of

MEET ME THERE.

A minister over in Winston
county recently in giving up
his charge said:
"Brethern, / have decided to
leave this field of labor. There
are many reasons for this. In
the first place you do not love
me. for you have not paid me a
cent on last years salary; you
do not love each other, for there
has not been a wedding in this
charge for many month; God
does not love you for there has
not been funeral since | came
here; you do not love God for
you are doing nothing to pro-
mote his kingdom here on earth.
I have decided to take the posi-
tion of Chaplain at the county
Jail and I have decided to preach
nv farewell sermon from the
text: "I go to prepare place
for you." The choir Will please

Five Truck Shipments.

Truck Shipments fromHazle-
hurst for the present season have
reached the 500-carload mark.
Shipments of late tomatoes are
going forward daily in five to ten
cars. The last of the crop was
marketed by July 1. Considerable
land on which truck was grown
has been planted IN corn and
cotton.
The above is pointer.
Fine tomatoes can be grown at
Longivew until frost. The Flat
woods section is adapted to
trucking and has heretofore
been overlooked. We have heard
some talk Of the people at
Longview and vicinity exper-
imenting with tomatoes. enough

carlfad shipments. 1t would be a
good idea to form an ssociation
now and be thoroughly Informed
and procure a market. Go at it in
an intelligent way. All pull
together for the same end and
success will be the result.

Good Railroad News.

Capt. A. G.. Dancy informs us
that Mr.. L. w. Murpy, very
reliable civil engineer, who
arrived here the first of the week,
left Wednesday morning through
the country for Meridian,
making horseback survey of
the county with a view to locat-
ing the route for the Pensacola
railroad.
It will be remembered that a
survey has already been made
from Grenada to Louisville, and
also Meridian to Pensacola, the
gap between Louivsille and
Meridian being the only part of
the line not already surveyed.
This new move looks very
much like something is going to
develop, and should this road be
built it would make our town
one of the finest railroad
crossings in the state. and the
prophesy of the Journal will
soon be realized when we get
two trunk lines as this would
Oive us.-Winston Co. Journal.

property owners, men who pay
taxes TO keep this town moving,
it is time to make change. Let's
make a complete change and
keep changing until we get a
bodv of men that will handle the
; town affairs in judicious way
and show the people how their
money is spent and for what.
We are paying l8a mills now, and
it is believed by many, that if
the presant Mayor and Board are
elected again the rates will be
raised to 90 mills. If these men
are continued in Office the Lord
only knows how light they will
carry the assessment and rates
on our property. Wake up tax
payers! wake up! This mayor
and board say I'VE cannot cat the
grass on the side walks" The
people ask why. The answer,
we havn't any money to hire
hands, "-but right on the heel
of this answer they raise the
Mayors salary to $500 per
month; the marshal's salary
$25. 90 and hire a night watchman
at $50 90 per month. Here is a
stated raise Of $1,000. a year in
salaries. the town should now
collect $110O. 90 or more for street
tax and if we had this $1,000. 90
in salaries raised back, we would
have more than enough to keep
our side walks and streets in
fine shape.

Paper From Saw Mill Waste

The wood waste about the
south Mississippi saw mills is to
be utilized in the manufacture
of paper. This waste,in the form
of slabs, tree limbs, etc., amounts,
so it is said, to millions of dol.
lars annually. and eastern cap
ital has been attracted to it. 1t
is stated that a first class quail.
ty of paper, suitable for printing
purpose, can be made from or
binary yellow pine, and cheaper
even than from the spruce pine
of the north. The yellow pine
fibre is longer and stronger
than the spruce and the bleaching
process to which it has been nee
essary to subject the yellow, here
tofore expensive, has been chep-
ened. A news item from Jackson
in number of the state papers
says that a Virginia corporation
now .shas agents at work in the
southern section Of the state Sc
curing options on wastage at the
principal lumber plants, and it
is understood that the company
is also in the marked for large
tract of lumber lands. In view
of the rapid consumption of the
spruce forests OF the north in the
manufacture of paper. and the
general demand Of publishers
for the removal of the tariff on
wood pulp and paper. the plan to
utilize the yellow pine forests OF
the south is of exceptional inter

able session of four weeks.
There was an enrolment of
three hundred sixty eight teach
ers, more than three hundred
of them being ladies.
Director Garner arranged q
very practical program showing
that he had given the needs OF
the teachers serious considera-
ton. Following his outline of
work one could find plenty to oc-
cupy his time without er-work.
AS a while the teachers were
we'll pleased with the schedule.
Mrs. Bridges and her corps OF
assistants attended our wants
most cneerfully. The dormito-
ry could have been in no better

The meals in the new mess
nall did credit to Mr.. divers
1orethought and if a few persons
forgot themselves to such an ex.
tent as to take more than their
share of fruit it was thought no
fault of the steward.
| By general consent the Cam.
pus Course was restricted to the
evening so it would not interfere
with the real work.
The various section rooms were
filled to over flowing with eager
students. Every department of
the public school branches was
well represented. Domestic
Science. Drawing, and Primary
Work took the lead in the SPECIAL
/, branches.
The evenings were devoted to
lectures. Mr.. Clothier gave two
interesting illustrated lectures
upon Forestry and the Upheav-
els of the Earth. Supt. Kern of
Illinois gave another upon Cru
raj Schools" Professor Hughes
gave two geographical lectures
including What the Moon Saw"
Mrs. Sam Cooke, of Walthall.
read Mr.. Cookies famous lecture
upon the "Ku Klux Klan." DR..
L. T. Bailey of the University
gave a seires of lectures which
were received by very appre-
ciative audiences. All Mississ-
ppi tea chers know what a rar
treat is ever in store for DR..
Bailey's audience.
We were sorry to be deprived
of the pleasure of seeing and
hearing more of Supt. Powers.
His stay at the college was limi-
ted to a few hours. never. the-less
he increased our desire for a
Normal Training School in Miss
ississippi. Elk Supt. Whitfield
entertained in his in-imimitable
manner. For the time we forgot
that he was no longer our able
and beloved State Supt.
By way of amusement we were
indebted to Mr.. VIM. Routten
and Miss Ruth Gulley for two
musical programs and Mr.. Pat
Joiner tor securing a lyceum en-
tertainment by Mr.. Tolten.
Examination for State License
were held at the close and we
feel assured that all who are SO
fortunate as to have won the
desired goal will be indeed proud i.
for we have been told that it was
rocky"
In conclusion we wish to thank
Pres. Hardy, Director Garner,
the entire faculty, and the stu
dent body for the many courte-
sizes extended to the teachers
during our stay at the Summer
School.
We departed full of ambition
and renewed zeal aud through
all the coming months will look
forward to a glorious reunion
at the dear old A. & M. next
summer.

history of this municipality has
the walks been in. such conditions

Mr.. Editor. the town authorities
have not cut the grass this year,
Heretofore every administra-
tlon has taken pride in keeping
the grass cut on side walks. Why
is it this Mayor and fine Mem
bers of the Board sit back and
positively refuse to clean the.
walks of this breeding nest for
mosquitoes, besides ruined clothes

money to get thems Our City
fathers cannot say they havn't the

years to 81 pays a $500 street
tax and and don't you believe
for moment that the authori-
ties don't collect this street tax.
They have been collecting it
from every one subject to pay.
Now the people OF this town want
to know what is done with this
money where isit spents They
have never published a statement
showing to the people how this
money has been expended,
whether on the streets where it
properly belongs or whether
or the street where 1t properly
belongs or wheather they have
used it for the benefit of some
other fund. These men should
stop and think that this money
is not theirs. it. belongs to the
people and they as the peoples
representatives should account
for every cent Of money collect
ed and show the money has been
to the proper fund as
the law requires. The law re-
quires a statement to be publish
ed by the Mayor and Board,
First of every October showing
collections and expenditures of
all moneys. Has this mayor and
board ever done this? I do not
remember of ever seeing any
statement since they have been

publish their paoceeding in full
of their monthly meeting.

Nervous
 Exhaustion.
A DISORDER THAT, IF NOT CORRECTED. SPEEDILY WRECKS THE GENIE
 RAJ HEALTH
Another Example of the Close Dependence of the Nerves upon the Blood and an In- dorsement of the Tonic
 Treatment.

Nervous exhaustion early shows itelf in the decreased activity of the organ that normally cast out the waste pro- ducts of the body. The kidneys, skin and bowels are deprived of some of their energy and part of the poison- ous waste material, which they readily pass off during health. are turned back into the blood.
 The result is plain. The blood filled with impurities is unable to give even it's usual amount of nourishment to the nerves and a general breakdown fol- lows. This is the explanation of the depressed and irritable feeling, pallor, loss of spirits, headaches, shortness of treath and poor digestion of the nerv- ous sufferer.
 The tonic treatment for nervous trouble, by building up the blood and supplying it with added oxygen, burns up and casts off the impurities and gives to the nerves the elements they need. And in no other way can these elements be conveyed to the nerves except through the blood.
 Mrs Emma Howe, of 531 South Ionia street, Grand Rapid, Mich., says:
 "Six years ago was nearly nerv- ous wreck from overwork while teach ing school. My appetite was variable and the food l ate did me no good. There were such pains in my legs that I could not stand. My eyes ached and were sore and had severe pains in the back of my head. did not know what nights rest was and grew pale and thin. lost in weight, was weak and discouraged. The doctors said if kept on teaching school would have nerv- ous prostration.
 of and on for seven years l was under doctors care, but grew weaker and weaker. A friend told me of Dr Williams Pink Pills and I am glad to say that they helped me in short time. l continued the treatment and was entirely cured"
 Every sufferer from nervous troubles should send to-day for our free pamph- let, "Nervous Disorders, Their Nature, Symptoms and Treatment. "
 Dr Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or sent, postpaid, on re- ceipt of price. 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2.5O, by the Dr Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
