FOrdsOn Tractor Performs
 As Switch Engine

When on account of high waters the Graysonia, Nashville & Ashdown train failed to arrive Tuesday, the Common wealth Public Service Company was for a time at loss as to how they were going to get a car load of ice switched over to the Kansas City Southern tracks in time to catch a freight out. The G., N. & A. engine usually does this switching. The problem was solved by the Mccormick Motor Company when they ran one of their Fordson tractors down to the yards and hooked on to the freight car loaded with 31,S0O pounds of ice. The Fordson didn't seem to know the difference between itself and loco notice, for it trundled the big car of ice down the tracks and into it's proper place like it was all part of the days work.

More Improvements
 For the Water Plant

The water committee of the city council has arranged to have the third well at the city water plant placed in commission and to have the second fire pump put in shape. Only two wells have been in operation at the plant for more than year, the two seeming to be adequate. It was de- cided better to get new working bar rel and get the plant up to full eff ciency. A new motor was also pur- chased One of the big fire pumps for a long time has been down with a burned out motor When this is re- paired the plant will be in perfect shape.
 c. I. Bowles, the manager, has been doing some other extensive improve ments on the grounds. This work is not yet completed, but we'll advanced. He has had built sidewalks and con- crete curbs about the grounds and has had the grounds filled in. Flower beds and grass will be set, and this will become a real beauty spot. The light plant is also improving and beau tifying about it's part of the grounds.

After running the snake out Nose At away attempted to step on the snake, but missed. The snake turned and took bite out Of Moses trousers.

Old Age Fastened
 By Stomach Troubles

Premature old-age is robbing the coun- try of its youth and much of the glory , that comes from it's vigorous life. Old age is to be honored and esteemed only . when reached naturally-it is the young old-people'' who are standing in their own light, they ignore the importance of their own health and grow old while yet young. In tracing the real cause to its source nearly every case will show that an af- fected stomach is responsible. Whether it is indiges tion, chronic constipation, m- poverished blood. rheumatism or. skin dis cases, the fact remains that the stomach has not functioned properly and that the developed poisons and excess acids have been taken up by the system. TERRA LINE, Natures Own Remedy, will re- store the stomach to normal; enrich the blood to a vigorous health and banish con- situation from the system; give you the appetite of a hearty tyoungster," and bring back the bloom of youth. It is your opportunity to save yourself premature old-age FERRALINE is s1.oo per bottle at all good drug stores.
