Chattanooga, Rome & Columbus Railway.

The C. s through the most fertile and pi ffuresque part of the south, and as it moves "from i one valley to the other disc oses a panorama hardly equalled. The trip from Rome to Chatta nooga, start hg in the Coosa valley, winds around and through gaps in Lavender mountain to the pros perous valley of the Chattooga river. The Chattanooga, Rome & Co lumbus Railroad then runs through this magnificent piece of agricul tural country to the head of the river in plain view of Pigeon mountain.

A few weeks ago the editor was i taken with a very severe cold that caused him to be in a most misera ble condition. It was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe and recog nizing it as dangerous he took im mediate steps to bring about speedy cure. From the advertise ment of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and the many good recom mendations included therein, we concluded to make a first trial of the medicine. To say that it was j satisfactory in its results, is put ting it very mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and the result was a speedy and permanent cure . j The Banner of Liberty, Liberty town, Maryland. The 25 and 50 cent sizes fur sale by H. H. Arring- ' ton.
