when the locomotive struck him
and knocked him clear Of the
track, across kegs, lumber ana
barrels to a distance of about ~
feet, the pilot breaking both legs
just above the ankles and the inn
pact with the boiler as he was
scooped up, or the bumper on
the pilot crushing the back part
lof his head and breaking
practically every bone in his
body and limbs though not dis
figuring his face. The engineer
whistled frantically warning
signals but evidently the un-
fortunate man was preoccupled

stepped in the way Of the big
engine too late for the engineers

Income From Cows

We have received an average
Of S475 per month for each cows
butterfat during the past seven
months, which we consider very
good under the circumstances. :

IF the estimate that it cost ap'

Grating the church. The artifi-

Pecans Cheap

In spite of the talked-of small
crop of pecans this year, the
crop either seems larger than
thought or there is little demand
for them. The price last year
was way up and this year, they
can be bought for as low as
eight cents the pound, a negro
from the Bottoms district being
here Wednesday offering them
for eight cents the1polnd.

Many former coffee drinkers who

writes:
II had drank coffee for about twenty
years, and finally had what the doctor
called coffee heart was nervous

mental or physical strength left, had
kidney trouble and constipation.
''The first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
"Then I became less respondent, and
the desire to be active again showed
proof of renewed physical and mental
strength.
II am steadily gaining in physical
strength and brain power. I formerly
did mental work and had to give it up
on account of coffee, but since using
