Saved by GhiId'S Warning.

"Choo, choo, mamma" from her in
fant daughter was the first warning
which Mrs. Mary Wyatt, who was wash
ing dishes in her home at Davy. w.
Va, received on Saturday last when
a Norfolk and Western engine of mon
ster type ploughed its way through the
corner of her residence. A rear-end
collision had just occurred, in which the
first locomotive on a double-heAder
broke loose from the second engine, cut
across the west-bound track and plung-
ing down an embankment, struck the
Wyatt home.
An older daughter was scrubbing the
kitchen floor and the mother was clear
ing away the break fast dishes when the
little tot uttered the warning. Grab
bing her infant daughter, Mrs. Wyatt,
followed by her older girl, sought safety
in immediate flight. However, thew
had only rounded the corner Of the resi-
dence, when the engine overturned and
both mother and older daughter were
seriously injured by the flying debris,
but the little girl who told of the "choo.
choo" coming escaped unharmed. Four
cars were wrecked and the engine badly
damaged, but none of the train crew
were injured. The mother is the most
seriously injured.

The good clothes store.
Harrison & Gillespie Bros.

Good schools, good churches and good
roads are good things for any commun-
ity to have but to have them the people
must be educated to take pride in them.
A good local paper can and does more
to encourage all these things than any
other agency and the way to have a
good local paper is to support it. Your
local paper costs you but little and your
wife and children, as well as yourself
are interested in the home happenings.
AS an aid and supplement to their
school work there is nothing so good for
the children as local paper to keep
them interested in the upbuilding Of
the community and to grow up good
and useful citizens. Take your home
paper and if in business advertise.
All the new things in lace curtains
and curtain material.

HOnaksT a Town Now.

On last Saturday the Virginia State
Senate passed the bill Incorporating the
town of Honaker, Va, and unless the
governor vetoes the measure the little
town can put on airs and proceed to
elect her town councils and others of
ficers in the future The bill at first
met with some opposition and it had
been thought by many that it would
never again come from the pigeon hole
where it has lain so long, but Saturday
it was brought out with the result that
it passed. The town had a charter
granted to it some years ago, but it had
become imperative from non-usags and
rather than take the chances of law
suits the new charter was applied for.

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON

my little son, when about year
and half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. l had a physi-
clan treat him. but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts Of
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end of about
year and half of suffering he grew
SO bad that had to tie his hands In
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.
MY aunt advised me to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment I
sent to drug store and got cake Of
Cuticura Soap and a box Of the Oint-
ment and followed directions. At tho
end of two months the sores were all
we'll. He has never had any sores
of any kind since. | can sincerely say
that only for Cuticura my child would
have died. l used only one cake Of
Cuticura Soap and about three boxes
of Ointment.
Il am nurse and my profession
brings me into many different fam.
lilies and it is always a pleasure for
me to tell my story and recommend
