Switch Engine Breaks Through i
Switches And Makes Fast
Run On Main Line.
The old local switch engine j
No. 9534, which is in the habit
of knocking around the local j
yards at a very ordinary gait,
made a dash out of the Newport
yard at 12:20 o’clock Thursday
while its master, Engineer White j
had gone to lunch and made a i
run north on the main line for |
eight miles that would have
done credit to No. 7 on the best
stretches of track.
The engine had been banked
and left over the pit. No one
was near it, when for some rea
son the throttle was thrown op

8 Saved Girl’s Life i
“I want to tell you what wonderful benefit I have re- ©
5 celved from the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught,” writes ^
gj Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Gifton Mills, Ky.
5 “It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds, Jr
2! liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught ©
saved my little girl’s life. When she had the measles, j®
5 they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford’s 1?
9 Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no ®
JJ more trouble. I shall never be without ||

0 ness, malaria, chills and fever, biliousness, and all similar 2
ailments, Thedford’s Black-Draught has proved itself a safe, Z
9 reliable, gentle and valuable remedy. gp

lumber off. It broke' through
the switch to the west double
track of the main line and at
Diaz broke through another
switch to the single track. The
local operator, Mr. Rawlings at
once notified Diaz, but the mes
sage was received too late for
action there as the engine went |
through there at a sixty mile per
hour speed.
Tuckerman was next called i
__ i
I
and soon reported the wild en
gine in sight, but steam gave ■
out and the empty engine came |
to a stop two miles South of j
Tuckerman- The engine of a i
South bound freight here’ was
sent to bring back the runaway.
At hardly any other hour in
the day, could a wild engine j
have found a clear track on this j
block of the Iron Mountain and >
the incident might thus have
been a very serious one.
Porch Heart Party.
Owing to the fact that Miss
Elise Hirsch will soon take her
departure for her new home in
Little Rock, several social events
have been given in her honor by
her many friends.
One of the most enjoyable of
these was a “Porch Heart Par
ty” given by Misses Antoinette
Bond, Josephine Deaderick and
Mary Frances Hays Wednesday
afternoon. The cool and spa
cious porch of Mr. and Mrs.
George R. Hays was tastefully |
decorated with palms, ferns and j
cut flowers. The predominating j
colors, red and white were car-;
ried out in every detail. Three |
tables of the game of “Hearts”
were played. The highest score
was made by Carl Hirsch, but
the prize, a pair of “ear bobs,”
rather inappropriate for gentle
men, was awarded to the next ,
highest, Miss Leone Umsted. !
The consolation prize wras cut 1
for by all, Miss Mary Bains be
ing the recipient of a string of
pearl beads. The lionoree wa»
presented w ith two dainty crepe
de chine handkerchiefs by the 1
hostesses. “Reminders” were 1
written 1
grams. 11
Chocolate ice cream and cake '
were served during the after- 1
noon by Miss Thelma Hays and •
Carl Hirsch.
Those present were Misses
Mary Bains, Mary Madeline
Hocking, Mildred Reamey, Leone
Umsted, Lbckie Graham, Lucy
Bennett, Estelle Hite and Mrs.
Jan Young, who kept score.

ters tomorrow morning at ten

has received a present from a
member of the Troop Commit
tee. This is to be strictly a bus

ments will be made fo the hike
next week. Those who have not

Prevention Of Malaria.
Dr. Molloy of the Government
Public Health Service delivered
a very interesting lecture to a
fair audience of local citizens
Wednesday night at the court
house, his subject being “How
To Prevent Malaria.”
The destructive record of the
mosquito in the world’s history
furnished an introductory to his
subject, the speaker later dem
onstrating through established
tests that the mosquito was the
sole conveyor of malaria, which
he stated was practically the on
ly disease about which wre know
every material fact necessary to
its eradication.
now ana wmere tne mosquito
breeds, the three kinds found in
this section, how" the Anopheles
mosquito becomes infected wdth
the malaria parasites from a ma
larial carrier, or persons whose
blood contains the malaria germ
and how they in turn convey the *
germs to other people were all
very plainly shown as wrell as
the preventive work that should
be undertaken in every com
munity,—proper drainage and
screening of houses.
Stereoptican slides wrere used i
to illustrate the subject and the
manner in w'hich it was so com- j
prehensively and plainly treated
by Dr. Molloy is certain to ac
complish great good through the
education of our people against
this enervating disease, so prev
alent in our lowlands
Drs. Molloy and Taylor, the !
Public Health Service Physi
cians wrho are investigating ma
larial producing conditions here,
will be in Newport until noon to
morrow and will continue to
take blood specimens in the
morning at the City Drug Store.
Thursday they visited tw’o or
three schools in the vicinity of
Newport, w'here they delivered
short talks on malaria to the
children and took blood speci
mens.
They wish it understood that
they may be found at the City
Drug Store from eight o’clock
until noon tomorrow" morning
and any persons who may -wish
to give them blood specimens
will find them there. They are
particularly anxious to secure
specimens from children, since,
as they explained in the lecture
last night, children are more
susceptible to malarial infections
than adults, and are injured a
?reat deal more by this disease.
A Perfect Cathartic.
There is sure and wholesome
action in every dose of Foley
Cathartic Tablets- They cleanse
with never a gripe or pain- P. A.
Morgan, Gore, Ga., writes, “I
lately had occasion to use a liv
jr medicine, and took Foley Ca
thartic tablets. They thorough
y cleansed my system and I
felt like a new man—light and
?ree.” Chronic cases of consti
lation find them invaluable.
Stout people are relieved of that
floated, congested feeling, so
incomfortable especially in hot
veather. They keep your liver
)usy. For sale by City Drug
Store- 2tu.

half bottle of Foley’s Honey and

stitute offered. For sale by City
