The Teachers Reading Circle

The Teachers Reading Circle
of Grundy County was held at
Altamont last Friday evening
and Saturday. Twenty-six teach
ers were present. Short address
es were made by Messrs. A. a..
Woodlee, Joe Gallagher, W. @.
Alternately, W. G. Dillon and
John T. White. The compulsory
school law was discussed by the
teachers and others, looking to
the best means of enforcing the
law. The law is already having
good effect, as more children
are now in the schools of the
county that have started, than
the buildings can comfortably
accommodate.

The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is catarrh,
HALLS Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh be-
ing a constitutional disease re-
quires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken IN
ternally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have SO
much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred

The Tennessee Railroad Com
mission seems to be cup against
it," About four years ago they
entered into an agreement with
the various railroads of the state
not to try to enforce their order
for q two and one-half cent pas
senser rate in Tennessee until
the Alabama rate case then pend
ing in the Supreme Court of the
United States should be deter
mined, and if it should be de-
cided adversely to the railroads
they were to redeem the coupons
issued with each ticket, other
wise the rate then in vogue
should continue. 1t seems that
Immediately after this agree
ment was executed that a new
Alabama case was instituted
which enjoined the one which
was taken as a basis for said
agreement, and this second case
has been decided by the Supreme
Court adversely to the railroads,
and in effect it means that if
they are to live up to their obi
cations two aud one-half rate

companies do not regard the set
Element of the question involved

termined as settling the question

VIII Dreams Come True

Washington Springs Republican,
According to the report from Huron
last week, it has apparently officially
been given out that the Great North
ern Railroad is about to extend its
road from Huron to Chamberlain and
probably still. further. 1t is believed
that the road will be built on to the
Black Hills and thence to Denver.
The Huron Commercial Club recent
ly took the matter up with the
Great Northern officials but the
club is not at liberty to make public
whatever information it received.
The proposed road would be almost
sure to strike Washington Springs.
thence to Gam Valley. opening up
a rich territory now without a rail-
road. 1t would also tend towards a
substantial boost for Huron, now al
most isolated from this neck Of the
woods except by automobile.

mand is tapping ove upon the ap-
plications for licenses for 1914, which

which will keep the auto license de-

three months. The estimate is that
the automobile licenses will run over
the $1,000 mark for 1914. and this
will assure a good sized road fund
