Wolff Store Inundated Through
]luiv>t<‘4l Water Pipe.
I —That’s what a prominent
druggist said of Scott’s
| Emulsion a short time
I ago. As a rule we don’t
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
similar expressions are
riade so often in connec
tion with Scott’s Emulsion
that they are worthy of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age Scott’s
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying im
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The action of
Scott’s Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emui-
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish
ment—the kind of nourish
ment that cannot be op*^
tained in ordinary food.
No system is too weak or
delicate to retain Scott’s
Emplsion and gather good
from it.

The obstruction placed across the!
track consisted of large logs, the!
whole of which was about 12 feet by'
12. As It happened, the train was
going at a very slow rate, and the
obstruction was pushed from ' the
track.
Rabbi E. A. Landau, of this city
was on the train, and he said that
grent excitement was caused among
the passengers. As soon os it was
'earned that an attempt had been
made to .wreck the train some of the
pasengers armed themselves and
looked around the woods tor the per
petrators, thinking that they would
probably be near to reap the spoils
of their act.
Six negroes were found in the
woods and were caught by the crowd.
The negroes were turned over to the
proper, authorities and are now peep

county Jail. j
