BIC ENGINE HAS ARRIVED.
One of the Monster Engines for
the c., C. & o. Has Arrived.
1t Will Push Some.

The biggest engine ever seen in this
city, by many tons, has just been de
livered to the G., G, & 0, Railway in
this city. 1t is to be used as n pusher
over the Blue Ridge mountains for coal
trains. The Roanoke News says:
Roanoke received a visit on yesterday
from monster locomotive, and while
it tarried here it attracted great deal
of attention, and was inspected by
many railroad men with n great deal
of interest 1t was EN- route for South
west Virginia, where it will be deliver
ed to the Carolina, Clinchheld and
Ohio railroad, the owners.
This type of engine is what is known
us the Mallet type, and they are being
widely adopted by railroads for the
handling of heavy business. The sam
pie which was in Roanoke weighed
just 328,0O pounds, which is quite a
bunch of iron and steel. 1t has eight
driving wheels on each side, or sixteen
altogether, and for each four of the
driving wheels there is n cylinder,
making four cylinders altogether. In
other words, it is a kind of double en-
CINE, and when one sees it for the first
time ii presents a queer appearance,
In this connection ii is interesting to
note that Mallet engine is now being
built for the Southern Pacific that will
weigh 100000 pounds.

The room has been remodeled and
equipped with every modern convent
ence for proper banking, and it is now
one of the most commodious banking
houses in East Tennessee. The fixtures
are extremely handsome and pleasing
to the eye. The counter is of grey
Georgia marble with base of green inn
ported Italian marble. The wood

place where customers may drop in for
a business chat. President Gaunt and

the new home and have every reason
TO be, for it is handsome, modern and
convenient in every detail.

A SENSIBLE BREAKFAST

The staple, or what the French call
the piece de resistance, of Il breakfast
should consist of some form of meat,
fish, egg or milk, or its equivalent in n
starch or sugar, like bread, toast or
cakes, says DR.. Woods Hutchinson in
Woman's Home Companion for Aug
ust: These may be supplemented by
hot breads, gems or biscuits, with the
proper modicum of fat in the shape of
two or three pats of butter, sugar and
the alkaline salts in the shape of some
fruit or preserves or syrup upon cakes,
and an accessory or appetizer in the
form of tea, coffee or cocoa.
The so-called cereals and breakfast
foods ought not to be made the main
stay of the breakfast. AS accessories
before or after, they are admissible and
useful, but they lack seriously in steam
ing power, in proportion to Their
weight, bulk and power of satisfying
the appetite.

MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST
The Awful Toll Collected By Cor
sumption.

If people could only understand thai
catarrh is an internal scrofula-that
nothing applied externally does much
good-they would not need to be
warned so often about this fatal dis
ease, which, when neglected. invaris
ably ends up in consumption. at the
cost of millions of lives every year,
Yet catarrh is easily cured if the fight
treatment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by germs in the
blood which circulate throughout the
entire system. External remedies
give but temporary ease. Although
the effects are often seen in the form
of pimples, rash, eczema or dry scaly
skin, the trouble is internal. and can
never be cured by external remedies.
The only way to cure catarrh is by
employing a medicine which is abb
sorbed and carried by the blood to all
parts of the system, so that the mu-
cous membrane or internal lining of
the body is thoroughly indicated
soothed, disinfected of germ matter.
and the soreness healed.
We have a remedy prepared from
the prescription of physician who
for thirty years studied and made ca
