mann, the eccentric vendor of feathers,
who is sure that the dismembered body
of woman found in the Hudson river
several days ago is that of his daughter,
Ella, was found by detectives yester-
day in the office of morning news
paper, and asked to explain the flood OF
incoherent letters he has directed at the
district attorney and the keeper of the
Hoboken morgue where the body lies.
His speech was almost as ineoherent
as his letters. Although he seemed to
be entirely willing to help the authori-
ties, his rambling utterances gave them
little aid.

Get a l0-cent box now.
That awful sourness, belching of acid
and foul gases; that pain in the pit
of the stomach, the heartburn, nervous
ness, nausea, bloating after eating, dizz-
ness and sick headache, means dis
ordered stomach, which cannot be regu-
lated until you remove the cause. 1t
isn't your stomach's fault. Your stom-
ach is as good as any.
Try Cascarets; they Immediately
cleanse the stomach, remove the sour,
undigested and fermenting food and
foul gases; take the excess bile from the
liver and carry off the eonstipated waste
matter and poison from the bowels.
Then your stomach trouble is ended.
A Cascaret tonight will straighten you
out by morning. l0-cent box from any
drug store will keep your stomach
sweet; liver and bowels regular for
months. Don't forget the children-their
little insides need good, gentle cleans

of the house damaged by the

interior work, as we'll as the top
story will be new and the entire
old section will be finished in

no expense in making the new
hotel all that the travelling pub

Attention is called to the fact
that in so far as the people were
concerned in the last November
election, they elected majority
of members of the Legislature
instructed to stand against whis-
ky, against the back tax graft
and for the preservation of an
honest election law. 1t must be
remembered that the so-called
Republicans, Royston, Boyer and
Love are traitors to their con-
stituents, and in addition to
these renegades, McMinn county
elected a man in whom the PEG.
pie were deceived. Had these
men stood to the position to
which they were in all honor
F. bound, the cause OF AGENCY ana
honesty would have easily tri.
umphed over the loyal-to liquor
Democrats even after their ALI
ance with the Orump contingent.
The gentlemen from Shelby
should take notice that their
names are never called and that
they ara known only as bunch

Memphis. The people Of Ten

New Depot
N. c. & St. L. Place OF
Business at Lexington
to be RemOdeled and
Enlarged.

The Nashville, Chattanooga 4
st. Louis Railway Company will
soon begin the work of remodel.
ing and enlarging the Lexington
depot building. 1t has for g
long time been evident to the
most casual observer that the
Lexington railroad quarters were
not sufficient to properly accom-
modate and handle the enor-
nous amount of business, nor
has the room in which several
men have to spend their time
day and night been either com.
Portable or sanitary. These facts
being evident to the officials of
the road they have decided to
improve them. and while we
have not seen the plan adopted,
we are informed that the con-
templated improvements will
make the station a practically
new building. Our experience
with railroad men has led US to
believe that they are in nowise
different from others, and as the
NO. has in its official places
men who have proven their hon
esty, humanity and capability,
we may safely depend on them
to do the best possible under ex-
listing circumstances.

For Good or iii.

In the home of the bride at
Luray, last Sunday. the solemn
words were said by the Rev. T.
F. Maxedon, pastor of Lexington
Circuit M. Il. Church, South,
which bound for life in the
sweet and sacred tolls of Matri.
mony, Miss Clyde England and
Mr.. M. II. league.
The bride is a daughter of DR..
j. H. England, a practicing
physician of Luray, and one Of
her best endowments among the
many that she possesses is the
fact that she comes from one Of
the best county families. Her
personal attractions, added to
qualities of head and heart put
the bride in the capital prize
class and the groom is dou btless
appreciative of his wonderful
good luck in winning her for bis
helpmete
The groom is a son of Esq. J.
s. league, a farmer. business
man and justice Of the peace
who has been among the best
known citizens Of the county for
a quarter of a century--and has
not yet grown old or tired in the
work of good citizenship. The
groom has q proud example to
follow in the life of his honora.
Bile sire-with the understand.
ing that the mother is generally
superior of even the best father.
We congratulate "Mert" and
the girl he has won and wish for
them such life as can only come
from following the old, old Star
Of Love and the consciousness Of
duty done.

Under Consideration.

Mr.. @. Fl. Arendall, a real es.
tate man at Adamsville, Nc.
Marry county, writes us that the
President Of the Nashville, Chat
tanooga & st. Louis Railway has
under consideration a PROPOSE.
tion to build a branch line of
N. O. from Lexington to Corinth,
Miss, via. Adamsville, Enville
and Shiloh. Mr.. Arendall asks
that the business men of Lex.
ington take the matter up at
once and write President Thorn
as, stating the value of the prop.
osition as they may see it.
Such line of railway would
be a godsend to Lexington and
would open up a country rich in
agriculture and timber. Lexing.
ton business men should be will.
ing not only to write to Presi-
dent Thomas, but to lend their
aid to the project in the most
substantial way. A line of rail
way from Lexington to" Corinth
would in our opinion, be Of more
value than the some distance on
any part of the N. G. already in
operation:

not been in language sufficiently

addressed. As a matter Of fact,
the vetoes have been in plain

extravaganza in the appropria-

than an extra session. If the
