Jasper Depot Case

Jasper Depot ease
 Arguments were begun today in the city court of Montgomery in the case of the Southern Railway vs. the Railroad Commission of Alabama, a suit brought by the railroad company in objection to an order issued by the commission in which a union depot at Jasper was au- thorized The order was directed spe- officially at the Frisco and Southern sys- tems, the latter railroad being the only one to offer material objection. The Southern Railway is contending that Its present depot is well located, and that 1t Is an injustice to compel extra facil- ities. On this claim an injunction was sought of Judge w. H. Thomas against the order of the commission, and today was set for the hearing of arguments as to why the injunction should not be made permanent.
 President w. A. Henderson of the commission was present at the nearing today. James Weatherly of Birmingham was here for the Southern.
 River Navigation
 Navigation on the Alabama river is showing a steady improvement, accord ing to officials of the Merchants Barge Line of Montgomery. The steamer Llb- erty. owned and controlled by Montgom- erians, is demonstrating every week the fact that the river can be put to work all the year round. and the further fact that the demand for barges can be made to exceed the supply if aggressive steps are taken to secure business.
 A meeting of the directors of the line is scheduled to be held here on Mon day. November z, when steps will be taken to add three barges to the three already in operation. Another steamer, in that event, will be added to the line.

Early Piety Not Always the Cause OF
Badness.

Inasmuch as 1t is an accepted fact
that badness, falling hair and dand-
ruff are caused by a germ, doesn't 1t
stand to reason that the only way to
prevent such calamities Is to kill the
germs?
And doesn't 1t stand to reason that
the only way to kill these germs Is to
use Partisan Sage. which G. r. Fogg
has so much faith in that he guaran-
tees it to cure dandruff, falling hair
and itching scalp in two weeks, or
money back?
Partisan Sage is delightful hair
tonic and is pleasant to use. 1t is not
sticky or greasy, and contains only
those ingredients that will surely
benefit.
1t ia now sold by druggists all over
America, and by G. R. Fogg for 80
cents large bottle. 1t is used ex-
tensively by women who desire lux
uriant hair with radiant luster. The
girl with the Auburn hair Is on every
package. 2w-14

For Catarrh
Medicine Free in Every Case
Where 1t Fails to Relieve

Neglect or pessimism, we believe, ls
the greatest enemy the public has to
contend with when applied to the loss
or recovery of health. Practically
every case of consumption might
have been cured If hope had been
maintained and proper treatment had
been. resorted to at the first symptom
of the disease. Until the advanced
stage is reached consumption is cur
able. Catarrh Is responsible, we be-
lieve. for many cases of consumption
1t Is about catarrh we want to talk to
you today incidentally consumption,
since the two are SO closely allied.
We have a medicine made from a
prescription of one of the most sue
cessful catarrh specialists known. We
believe that 1t Is positively
without an equal. We are so
satisfied that we are right, that
we will supply the medicine free
in every instance where it is used ac-
cording to directions for a reasonable
length of time, should 1t fail to give
satisfaction in every particular. We
want every one to try this medicine at
our risk. There are no conditions at
tached to our offer. We put the user
under no obligation to us whatever.
The medicine we want you to try is
Rexall Mucu-Tone. 1t Is a catarrh
remedy that goes direct to the seat of
trouble. 1t Is carried by the blood to
every part of the system. 1t purifies
and enriches the blood, tones up the
mucous cells, and brings about con-
dition of health and strength that
tends to prevent the germs of con-
sumption from getting a start. Be-
sides this, Rexall Mucu-Tone is a
wonderful appetizer, digestive aid and
flesh builder. Its good effects are Of
ten felt from the very first dose. 1t is
one of the largest and most satisfac-
tory selling medicines that we have
ever had anything to do with.
We know so much of the great good
that 1t has done that we personally
back 1t up with our reputation and
money, which fact should be ample
guarantee to satisfy anybody. Rexall
Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes, so
cents and $1.O0. We urge you to try
it. Remember you can obtain Rexall
Remedies in Skowhegan only at our
store,-The Rexall Store. F. w. Buck
