Factor in Advancement Of
City.

That the excelsior factory which viii
be built on the MaXent tract by NJ G..

absolute certainty OF the immediate

Saturday afternoon arrangements were
made with the Gulf, Florida and Ala
bama railway to construct a spur track
from the main freight line of that road
to the site of the proposed factory.
The money for this spur track was
paid over TO the railroad corporation

spur track would be begun Monday

sin Wednesday night 10 see that the
work Of commencing the erection Of
the factory is gotten under way imme-
diately. The capitalist is prepared 10
build the plant and place it In opera
ton upon completion, and it is under
stood that the construction work will
begin as soon as the necessary prel3-
ninary arrang genents can be made.
Mr.. IIoi man has purchased several
acres of land in the Maxent tract south
of tbs baseball park between the Pen
cole Mobile and New Orleans rsia-
road and the Gulf Florida and Ala
barna railroad tracks for the site Of his

Advanced Age.

FAIRMONT, Dec. 3t.-Peter Bren-I
men, aged rs years, one OF the hest
Known and most highly respected
residents Of Fairmont, passed away
Wednesday at his home in Ogden
avenue. Mr.. Brennan had been In
feeble health for some time, but FAD
been going about his home. Tuesday
he walked out into the yard at his
home, and had the misfortune TO have
a severe fail, due to the very Icy con-
dihons that prevailed about the city
that morning. Mr.! Brennan sustained
a broken hip. Owing to his advanced
age and feeble state OF health, 1t was
realized that his condition was very
serious, but 1t was not thought that
death would SO soon result During
the night he became much weaker
from the effects Of the shock, but even
then 1t was believed that he would
survive for q few days, at least. Short
Ely after 9 O'clock he grew decidedly
worse and gently passed away.
Mr. Brennan was q native OF County
Galway, ireland. He was born in the
year 1885, and came to this country
when boy about twelve years Of age.
Mr.. Brennan located in Fairmont
about the year 1856, and had since
lived here. He was splendid citizen
and man Of good Christian qualities.
Quiet and unassuming in his manner,
he was well liked by all who knew
him, and his death will be learned
with regret by a wide circle of friends.
Mr.. Brennan's wife, formerly Miss
Anna Shields, died on January Is,
1910, Three sons survive, j. J.. R. W.
and J. \. Brennan, all OF this city.
Four Sous and one daughter, Anna,
| are deceased. On son, Michael Bren-

PRESIDENTS PATRIOTISM

Places Common Welfare of The
Public Above Any Partisan Con-

Country For Candidates.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Whatever
of success or failure the coming
elections have in store for the
Democratic party, President Wilson
will stick to the job. His last word
on that subject was given tonight
when he addressed to Congressman
Frank E. Doremus, of Michigan,
cha irman of the National Demo-
era .ic Congressional Committee, a
remarkable letter declining to take
the, stump in behalf of COMPRESSION
al candidates in the various States.
Realizing full we'll that a loss
of control by the party in Congress
would not only embarrass the re-
mainlng period of his administra-
ton, but herald a defeat of the
Democrats in 1916, the President,
in HIS letter, takes the position that
in view of the unlocked for inter
NATIONAL situation brought on by
the European War, his duty IS to
remain in Washington. The rea-
sons he gives to Mr.. poremus for
his d Determination t1/remain here
are the reasons tkat prompted him

Paint.

There are two good reasons for
painting often-enough or even too
often One. to look prosperous; two,
to be so.
Nothing does one more credit or
gives one more credit than paint,
supplemented of course by what
goes with it; and paint costs moth
ing
True, the first cost is IS or Sc
a gallon put-on; but it saves more
than that in the property; saves it
from slow going-down-no always
slow-it drops with a Jump when
water gets in on wood and iron.
Dry wood and iron cost nothing,
kept dry by paint.
Better paint when it needs it..
Paint never goes-down in the sense
of being more profitable next year.
