WHERE STRIKE STRUCK
Commission Merchants md Produce
Dealers Caught 1t In Neck-Much
Confusion From Strike.

The strike OF the eXpressmen last
week played havoc with the Cary and
Thirteenth Streets commission mer-
chants and poultry. fruit and vegetable
dealers. These merchants, dealers in
perishable goods OF many kinds, are
very large dependent upon the express
companies. and are perhaps the largest
patrons taken as class, of these uuic k
transportation companies OF any other
business class in the city. The in
ability of the express companies to
deliver goods promptly last week on
account of tho strike greatly confused
the business of the commission mer-
chants. The transfer companies that
undertook TO make deliveries on Cary
and Thirteenth Streets did their level
best, but they were hardly equal to the
emergency.

NOTES BY THE WAYsIDE
Heard md Seen During ExcursIous
Among the business Men In
and About Richmond

The settlement OF the strike OF the
express men brings relief In more than
a small way TO various business in
terests OF Richmond. especially to pro-
cuce dealers and commission mer.
chants.
The tobacco manufacturers and leaf
dealers OF Richmond are watching the
opening South Carolina markets as,
closely and with as much excitement
pictured on their Countcnances as char
acteriae the stock brokers when the
ticker gets busy. Those South Carolina
markets have opened with tho weed
away up in the pictures
Now and then there Is a more or
less big sale of real estate in these
parts that cause the long partially idle
realty agents to prick up their ears
and take notice. The agents are firm in
their conviction that good time is we.
coming for them.
The sugar situation changed only
three times last week but there is
no telling what a day may bring forth.
F9lc advance guard" making its ap-
pearance on Cary street in larger force
day by day indicates that the Virginia
apple crop. while it may be smaller
this year than last is decidedly bet
ter. and juicier.
The wholesale dealers In eggs are a
little at sea. Just as the time arrived
for the Virginia hens to take their
Usual vacation they seemed to have
taken on new energy, and last week
inc receipts Of eggs from nearby ship
ping points were unexpectedly large.

mat the Carolina breed will take a

1t is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver Just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't
make you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. tt

Take a dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a

Dodson's Liver Tone instead and
you will wake up feeling great. No
more biliousness, constipation, slug
gishness, headache, coated tongue or

you don't find Dodson's liver Tone
acts better than horrible calomel
your money is waiting for you.
