NEW ENGLAND MILL WORKER
The Strain on the System From This
Class of Work is Surprising.

In the great mills, factories, as well
as stores of New England there are
men and women who day by day are
wearing themselves out from work and
improper care of their bodies. Being
in a sitting posture all day long and
arriving home at night SO tired that
the exercise that is needed they don't
care to take, leaves the bowels in such
a condition that they cannot perform
their work properly. Every indoor
worker, both man and woman, should
not be without Trues Elixir. 1t will
restore their spirits and make life
really worth the living 50-cent
bottle of True's Elixir, if taken for sew
eral days steadily. Will improve any
disorder of the stomach, bowels and
liver To all the indoor workers we
would say, Don't wait until tomorrow
but buy a bottle OF Trues Elixir today
and. you will easily see that the claim
for Trues Elixir is justified"

the room may be properly ventilated
without endangering the lives of the
children by reason of draughts, each

Two cloak rooms have been pro-
vided for the boys ard girls, between
which is a platform raised about eight
inches upon which is the teachers

ana the interior is finished entirely of
hard pine with dado three feet high
around the room. The blackboards
are C the best Lithroplate and extend
around the entire room, thus insuring
ample room for the demonstration of

brated CaXton make, for one pupil on
ly, and are arranged at present to ac-
commodate 80 pupils. An aisle three
feet III width extends around the room,
while the aisles within the body of the
house are two feet in width, thus en-
abnng the teacher ample room to move
about among her pupils. If necessary,
the seats can be rearranged so as to
accommodate so scholars AS there
have been but 90 pupils each term
within the last decade. the need Of
greater seating capacity is very re-
mote.
The entire structure is set upon a
solid foundation constructed from
stones laid up in Portland cement and
laid below the frost line. The toilet

Apropos of that new rule on
Seaboard trains about turning
seats together, The Wilmington
Star rises to remark that it has
heard no reason given for the
order, but that keeping seats
clean is sufficient excuse. And
then it makes a totally foreign
comparison about what a man
would do if he should fine a
visitor in his parlor with his
feet cooked up on one of his
velvet or plush upholstered
chairs" Which has nothing to
do with the case. 1t is fair to
presume that those who have
been kicking about this rule have
not been talking about cattle,
but about decent people who are
Inconvenience at times. If con.
ductors are given discretion in
the matter the rule is all right,
for of course no man should be
allowed to act the hog on q
train. But to inconvenience pas.
sengers who are compelled tt
travel late and early, when theil
comfort could inconvenience M
one else, seems rather indefensi.

had just been sawed, was Destroy
ed by fire Friday night between

to the value of about SIS being
included in that amount. :
The alarm was given by the
crew of a freight train which
reached Lowe about 2 o'clock, and
at that time the saw-mill had
been burned down. The train
was held there some 80 minutes
while the trainmen helped put
out the fire. There was no sign

A Valuable Horse Belonging to
Mr.. G. A. Prevatt Drowned
A Distressing Accident

Mr.. c. A. Prevails fine black
horse, which was perhaps the
handsomest animal in town, was
drowned in Lumber river near
the old saw-mill opposite Mrs.
Rebecca Toon's residence, Friday
afternoon shortly after one
O'Clock. The accident was a
very distressing one. Mr.. Pre-
watt, with a small colored boy.
drove to the river in a wagon
after sand, and he stopped with
the horse very close to the bank.
Once the ground gave very
slightly and the horse was made
to move, and then suddenly the
ground gave way entirely and
he was precipitated head fore
most down the steep embank-
ment into some 20 feet of wa
ter, the wagon piling in on top
Of the horse. The distance and
manner of the fall made it inn
possible for Mr.. Prevatt to do
anything toward saving the
horse.
?. Later the harness was cut
from the body of the horse and
the wagon was hauled out, ex-
cept the bed, which was wreck
ed. The shafts were also brok-
en- and the wagon was otherwise
damaged.
The horse was a beautiful,
spirited and very valuable ami
NAL. A number of times lately
Mr.. Prevatt had been offered
$3.50 for the horse, and Friday
morning, just a few hours before
the horse was drowned, he re-
fused an offer of that amount.
