Bay Shore Train Saved From
Wreck BY Laura Jones.

The past two weeks have been
crowded with tales OF heroes and he
roines OF various kinds and degrees,
ranging from milli0naires to unnamed
immigrants, and in the plethora Of
stories unfolded appears the name
OF negro woman who arose to the
occasion and saved train from
wreckage close TO port territory. This
negro woman is Laura Jones, who re-
sides near Plerce's station on the Bay
Shore railroad, a line that at one time
hopes were entertained would extend
to PascagOula.
According to authenticated story,
Laura Jones discovered a wash0ut on
the Bay Shore road about TAO last
Sunday morning. She took of her
skirt and walked over a half a mile
down The muddy roadbed 10 order to
flag the almost due passenger train.
She stopped the train and saved it
from rushing into certain disaster.
That no one was injured does not les
sen her deed; IL enhances 1t, although
it may ron IL Of some OF It's melo-
dramatic trimmings.
The grateful passengers immediate
ly made up purse and presented it TO
the brave woman, who is certainly en-.
titled to Carnegie medal,i any indi.
vidual on earth is entitled to one, and
the train crew reported the matter to
Vice President Taylor. Those who
know "Dick" Taylor are fully conn.
dent that be will see that the Mobile |
and Ohio railroad company remembers
this negro woman In handsomely |
substantial manner.

GIRLS COLOR RETURNS.
Was Pale and siokly Last Spring.

Every boil is worth five dollars is an old saying among people whe think that the impurities of the bleed escape when a boil breaks.
 But that Is @ great mistake. A boil Is only a sign of impure blood and has no purifying power The on- ly thing to de Is to enrich and vivify the blood and the best thing for this Is Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron preparation without oil.
 Other signs of bad blood are pale skin, weakness, nervousness and run down condition of the system.
 Miss Alice Jones, 9, bright young girl of Richmond Hill, N. r., was pale and weak for months. She began taking Vino1 and it not only made her well and strong but also brought back her healthy color She also says q like to take Vinol as the taste is pleasant.
 This is the very best time of year to put your blood in good order and build up your system, and we guar antee that Vinol will do this. If it does not. we give back your money. Broadway Pharmacy G. G. Engler, Norwich, Conn.
