HOLIDAY BUSINESS.
LAST DAY or RATES IS EXPIRING.
Heavy over RsJIrOaas. Th0ugh Through Tramc Was Light-
 CT Than Usual.

Today is the last day that the hoii- day tickets are gosd to return on and 1t is the end of suchatickets until the holiday season of 1909-f0s
 The local travel this season has. 10 the surprise of all of the railroad peo- pie. been about the heaviest of re- cent years but the through travel aas hven lighter than usual This has been especially noticeable in the lase of the Texans returning to- their for- mer homes In this part of he country. The Alabama, Georgia and people from this section who have in the, past lew years moved out to Texas have been in the habit-of returning to their old homes every Christmas. For the past few years this Texas travel has been so large that anywhere from three to four sections of the trains-both hicrn- ing and night--from New orleans to Montgomery. have beer required to handle the crowds.
 This season. however. the only Texas travel that was noticeable came on one trsifl--the Louisville and Nashville No. from New Orleans. Railroad pt ople attributed this falling. of in the Texas travel to the price, of cotton and to the general conditions prevailing thrtnghout Texas and the country at large.
 Yesterday was homeseexers day the first Tuesday in the Ssnonth-but the business handied out 1f Montgomery was very light. The. travel frCm Gin. cinnati, Chicago. St Louis, etc. will pass through Montgomery this morn ing and the indications are thak good business has been done.

"At 76 years of age became so run down and weak that was discouraged. I had taken many different tonics and medicines which were prescribed for me without gaining in strength. 4 friend advised me to try Vinol saying that 1t was a cod liver and iron medi- cine sold on a positive guarantee to benefit or money refunded. I decided to do so and am glad to say that 1t built me up wonderfully. gained in strength until felt like new man. consider Vinol the best tonic in the world for elderly people" Jacob Young. Norris town. Pa.
 This is another instance which de-
 nonstrates the remarkable power of
 Vinol to create strength. and build hn health for old people after all other means have failed.
 As we have yet to learn of an old nAraon who has ever taken Vinol and has not been benefited by it. we unhesitatingiy say to any feeble old person in this town. come and get a bottle of VinoI and try it. IfFft does you no good we will return, your money. We make this offer to show our faith. E. c. Fowler. Montgomery.
