pealed last summer The case wherein
Mrs. Minerva B. Walters secured dam
ages Of s1,360 against the city for al

overlooked. SO it was claimed, because
of the building of the dixie road on
South Tenth avenue, which changed
the natural current of Linn creek, was
reversed, which is victory of the city.
Mrs. Walters sued for $4,000.
Alleging that it over-paid John A.
Reeder of this city, s100 when he with
drew his deposit from the bank, the
Fidelity Savings Bank brought suit to
recover the 500. Reeder secured a
verdict which held that the bank had
no right to recover. This decision was
also reversed.

FAULTLEss PRESCRIPTION
No Remedy for Stomach Distress anc

No Remedy for Stomach Distress and
Indigestion so Perfect.
A scientific prescription for dyspep-
STA put up in small tablet form and
called Mi-ona is making thousands of
quick and lasting cures turnout Amer
lea.
There is no stomach disease (even
catarrh of the stomach) that it is not
guaranteed to cure, and Mcbride &
VIII have so much faith in Mi-o-na
for stomach disorders of all kind that
they will Immediately refund your
money if it does not cure.
Mi-o-na; the faultless prescription,
stops sour stomach. belching of gas,
distress after eating, heartburn, bill
iousness and nervousness.
1t Is we'll worth trial by any reader
of the Times Republican who suffers
from any stomach disturbance. 1t con-
tains ingredients that not only give re-
lief but that act on the stomach so
benefcially that in a short time the
flabby, tired out walls of the stomach
regain their strength and activity and
can perfectly digest any kind of food
without artificial aid.
Try Mi-o-na for a week: misery will
change to happiness; despair to hope,
dull eyes to bright and you will your
self wonder why you suffered so long
with such a remarkable prescription at
hand

friends of the more timid dispensers say, they win call for permits to pour out a libation to wassamuckerism.
 Bars that once were decked with great, generous looking bottles with dignified labels 0n them, decked with many shaped glasses. groaning under the weight of rotund punch bowls. now primly simper at the caller from under a crest of mineral water, smooth drink, and near beer bottles.
 The proprietors, striving to make a living out of the wreck of their once lucrative business, stand tired-eyed back of the festal board. nervously pouring the amber colored brew, made with the beer left out.
 The imitation suggests nothing so much as that great truth that Shakes peare must have thundered out in a modern stirring play:
 ''Oh siush, Mabel. behave, you sauey thing. or I'll scream and make a scene.'

Thrilling Eseape of Aeronaut At Phe. nix City.
 Columbus, Ga, Jan s-(Specfat,- Jack Fancy, balioonist. who is ma. king ascensions at the street fair now being given in Phenix City, can thank two little telephone wires for the fact that he is not now a corpse or at leaat badly maimed.
 He started to make an ascension this afternoon and the balloon took such a course that his parachute was drawn mn under two wires at the top of teie- phone poles thirty or forty feet from the ground He released his parachute and clung to the wires in mid-afr. aI- though the wires sagged to the extent that every moment the spectators thought they would break.
 Paney's rescue was effected tn A dar- Ing manner. another one of the show men climbing to the top of an eak tree that was nearly as high as the wire. Reaching out. he grasped Paney's foot and pulled him out until he was sus- pended over the tree. when the balloon ist released his hold on the wire, falling a-straddle the other mans neck.
 There was. a great commotion in the tree top but the men managed to swing on. to the branches and reached the ground in safety.

HONOR FOR SIMMONS
ELECTED PRESIDENT NATIONAL
 SHORTHAND ASSOCIATION.
Former MentEomerian, w. D. NJ. sini- mons, Chosen by Conferees to Head of Greatest Organization
 in U. s. of its Kind.

His Montgomery friends read with pleasure the intelligence from the In dianapolis sessions of the National Shorthand Teachers Association that a former Montgomerian, Professor w. D. M. Simmons, had been unanimous- ly elected as president of that body for the year 1909. The preferment which was bestowed upon Professor Simmons Is. signal in that 1t is the nrst time that time high honor had been bestowed upon a Southern man.
 While in Montgomery several years ago Professor Simmons was connected with the DrauRhon Business College, of which company he Is at present secretary and treasurer. That he was well known to Montgomerians is testified to by the fact that he was at one time Chancellor Commander of Central Lodge, Knights of Pythias. of Montgomery.
 The Nashville Tennesseean says of the new president:
 As the anaWe of the association in- dicates, 1t is society of the short hand writers of the United States organized for purposes of mutual i'm provement and advancement. The or- ganization has a large membership, has been in existence for many years and the members annually gather in convention TOT the dissemination Of such ideas as the years experieces have suggested or demonstrated as practical and valuable.
 From its incipiency the watchword of the association has been "progress.' .' and every Improvement and economy in vogue among typewriters Is the direct fruit of these annual assem- blages for discussion and demonstra- ton.
 The annual conventions of this body are made up of representa- tives from practically every State in tho Union. the North furnishing a major. ity of the representatives by reason of the fact that commercial schools are more numerous in that section than in the South. It will be seen. therefore. that, aside from the high honor of leadership, whose function Professor Simmons is to discharge, it Is especially gratifying to him and his friends that the honor came from A body whose membership is composed largely of men and women north of Mason and Dixons line. Professor Simmons has been member of the association only. two years. vet in this brief period he has been success siyely elected vice president and pres ident S-

Soft Drinks the Rage: There's

 Near beer which, however, is still at a long range, is the fad now among erstwhile bar rooms. They call it the rage, because everyone who drinks 1t begins to rage at pro- hibition. It does taste a bit like beer partly suggestive, as if the bottle, in some prehistoric age has passed by a beer advertisement, but 1t Is the best that can be done and so it Is the rage.
