Attractive Local Establishment.

An establishment that would be a
credit to any town double the SIZE of
Macon in the South is the Jewelry store
of Mr.. w. E. Avery. The stock car
ried i fully large enough to meet the
demands'of this county, and what is of
more Importance, every article COM
posing it is Of first quality and high
grade, selected with.care, judgment and
taste. Nothing cheap or second grade
is carried, though prices will be found
to be as reasonable as the quality of the
goods allow. The combined good taste
and Judgment of Mr.. Avery and his as
s~istant, Miss Elizabeth Bass. were used
in the selection of the stock and their
services are at the disposal of parties

CATTLE.

hoodlums present who by cat
calls, bowls and hurrahs for Var
daman and Bilbo succeeded in
drowning by their united vocal
efforts the sound Of Senator Per
cy's voice. After submitting to
this for a time Senator Percy
said that if he thought the ma
jority of MissiSsippians were the
sort of cattle these hoodlums
were he would resign as senator.
And so would other high men
do. And the fact that Senator
Percy has done nothing Of the
sort shows that he does not think
that many Mississippians are that
sort Of cattle, One could not
find a dozen such cattle in NoXu-
bee on either side. Our people
without the shadow of a doubt,
will always give a courteous and
respectful hearing to their United
States Senator or to any other
gentleman. Such antics as the
cattle at Godbold Wells played
are not tolerated in first class
communities, and SO far as NoXu-
bee is concerned neither the Var
daman men nor the anti-Varda-
man men would permit Mr.. Var
daman or Mr.. Percy to be hoWled
down while speaking here. Both
sides would unite in discounte-
nancing such hoodlumism, and
none would defend it.
Mr.. Vardaman canEot fairly
be blamed for the excuses some
Of his followers commit. One can
hardly believe that he endorses
such tactics as those practiced at
GOdbOld Wells. 1t would not
help his candidacy if it were be-
lieved. Yet his paper, The Issue,
prints long attacks on Senator
Percy for his rebuke Of the hood
lums at GodboldWells, and makes
whatever political capital it can
out of the incident. Among sew
eral such there appeared in a late
number a tWO-page cOmmunica-
ton from a Mr.. Bragg. Not con-
tent with a forced and verbose
endeavOr to show shat Senator
Percy called all the Vardaman
men cattle Mr.. Bragg goes on to
show what an awful, horrible
thing it was to call men cattle.
by Implication he says this
calls their fathers, uncles and
brothers bulls and their mothers,
wives and aunts COWS and their
little ones calves"
Now is this not a strong manly
appeal to the intelligence and pa
triotism Of Mississippians- such a
clarion call as a great white chief
should utter? There is no cheap
politics about this, no appeal to
prejudice or ignorance. This is
no demagoguery, but an appeal
to mems minds and reason and
intellect. 1t is something that
stirS the civic pride of a proud.
free people to have a candidate
for UNITED States Senate from
Mississippi publish such things in
advocacy Of his candidacy. Ele-
waiting, nSliring, enrolling are
the adjectives the thing suggests
to the minds of Mississippianswho
bear in mind jefferson Davis, La
mar, George and others who rep
resented Mississippi in the Senate
and represented her with dignity
and courage and honor. and made
their appeals to the suffrage of
Mississippians on the same high
plane.
Had the writer of the article
under comment even a Lowing
acquaintance with literature, or
had he even looked up the word
in a good dictionary he would
have known that the meaning Of

sively to the bovine species, but
embraces domestic animals gen.

SUNK TWO FEET

The reconstruction of the trolley
track over the canal culvert on Mill
street has revealed rather perplexing
state of affairs. 1t is well established
that the constant sinking of the track
is due to the nature of the fill used
when the culvert was constructed.
This was composed largely of soft
earth gathered from various sources.
The track along with the course of
concrete in which the ties were laid
was removed yesterday, and the heavy
roller belonging to Contractor W. II.
Lyon was brought down from East
Market street and employed on the
job.
Under its weight the roadbed OH
the culvert sunk perceptibly. Crushed
Stag was thrown i'll but under the
weight of the roller this went down
along with the bed of the earth, and
the longer the roller was used the fast.
er the fill seemed to sink BY last
evening the roadbed had gone down
some two feet.

A WINDFALL

\ heavily loaded wagon was driving
down Bloom street about II 40 O'Clock
yesterday morning, and when near
the intersection of Ferry street bag
of peanuts on the top of the load be.
came unfastened and nearly bushel
of peanuts were lost. They were
strewn along the ground for a couple
of rods, while quite large heap lay
in the mud by the side of the wheel
where they dropped after the wagon
stopped, before the driver could close
the bag.
About the time that the accident
happened school was dismissed and
what occurred when the youngsters
came trooping along can easily be
imagined. Never had such a windfall
come their way before. Pockets were
hastily filled out of the super abund-
ance that was going to waste. The
driver recovered what he convenient
ly could and left the rest to the chill
dren. A large quantity was trampled
in the mud

TO RAISE. TIE MAINE

About 10 30 o clock Saturday morn
ing a special freight passed through
this city on the p. u Il. Railway, to
which an unusual degree of interest
attached.
In all there. were forty eight cars
loaded with material to be used in
raising the U. S. Battleship Maine.
The train did not stop here and the
contents of the cars could not be close
ly noted. Conspicuous enough to be
observed, however, were powerful
engines, enormous steel cables and
hooks, the latter a foot or more in
diameter.
Every other car contained banner,
which in effect set forth that the
equipment had been manufactured by
the Lackawanna Steel company at
Buffalo, and was for the Golfer dam in
Havana Harbor to be constructed in
connection with the raising of the
Battleship Maine.

REPAIRING CULVERT

For the third time since the COM
pletion of the canal culvert on Mill
street the vitrifed brick paving at
that point is being torn up in order to
raise the road bed where il has sunk.
Due to the nature of the fill used at
the culvert the process of sinking has
been gradual, making the surface of
the street uneven and causing the wat
er to accumulate.
The borough and the Danville and
sunbury Transit Company jointly are
striving to keep the street in good re-
pair and twice previously have torn
up the brick and raised the track. y
quantity of crushed limestone has been
delivered on the spot to be used in
filling up the street.

HEAVIER RAILS
ARE BEING LAID

The force of woramen employed in
changing the rails on this division of
the d. L. & W. railroad has now
reached point within two miles of
Danville, and the rails have been de-
livered all the way between that
point and Northumberland.
The rail being displaced is the or
dinary sixty pound rail, which
has been in use on this division for
many years. The new rail is seven
ty-six pound rail and is perceptibly
larger and heavier At intervals in
the borough they may be seen lying
along the track in piles
The object in changing the rail, it
is said, is 10 provide for the running
of heavier engines on this division.
The passenger locomotives at pres
ent in use can not start up as quickly
as the more modern and heavier en-
gines, and it is said that in the ag-
gregate much time is lost at the num-
erous stops made on single run.
At present two section gangs are
employed laying the track. At times
the work train with crew of fifty to
seventy five men is on the job. When
the work is being pushed in this man
ner it is possible to lay as much as
three-fourths of a mile of track per
day. Much less progress is when
only the section hands are IN loyed.
The process of changing &C. rails.
which is done between traisa 's quite
an interesting one and shows 0 what
complete system the work is reduc-
ed The new rails are laid end to end
parallel with the rails to be displaced
and are fastened together just as they
are to 10 upon the ties. Then, when
all as ready, the spikes are quickly
withdrawn; the old rails are thrown
aside and the new rails connected are
bodily lifted over and spiked down.

TO AILING WOMEN
A Little Sound Advice Will Help Many
Sufferer in Danville.

No woman can be healthy and well
if the kidneys are sick. Poisons that
pass off i'll the secretions when the
kidneys are we'll, are retained i'll the
body when the kidneys are sick. Kid
news and bladder become infiamed and
swollen and worse troubles quickly
follow. This is often the true cause of
bearing down pains, lameness, back
ache, sideache, etc. Uric poisoning also
causes headaches, dizzy spells, languor,
nervousness and rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, remedy that cures sick
kidneys You will get better as the
kidreys get better, and health will re-
turn when the kidneys are we'll. Let q
