No. 81 of the Alabama Great Southern
was on the track for the purpose of
going into a switch on the Northeastern,
but the freight train had stopped and
no. crashed into the caboose, wreclking
the caboose and two fiat cars. Brake
man McCool jumped from the top of the
caboose, but was not injured. Ne one
was hurt but another engine had to be
secured before No. could proceed on
its way to New Orleans, causing a delay
of about two hours.
A new pumping engine is being placed
in position by the waterworks plant
The engine cost $1,000 and has daily
capacity of 100000 gallons. This with
the present supply, will give Meridian an
enormous output of pure mountain water
and will greatly increase the pressure
for fire protection.
A fire early this morning at the Mobile

damage to the building, but no damage
to the engines.

When Diapepsin works, your
stomach rests-gets itself In order,

eating when you come to the table,
and what you eat will do you good.
Absolute relief from all Stomach
Misery is waiting for you as soon as
