When Colli P- lunttngton started out to Newport News the greatest shP bu Iding centre of the world - did not raiss the great inteo-H- he set forth to do. This ,iant known as the Newport -VWW&aip BulWing and Dry ock Com pany is to-day the oWt modern e tablishment ofitsUnd in this country e look upnv it with ride as l yoo comes And finds it oie prosperous tha ever be. TgoowiHgo out so it is pre dieted with great work behind it There has been 110 pains soared to gain the very best men ior this work; among these works their are no finer mechan ics and these are at every post oi duty to look after all important parts of these modern vessels. When we look about us and see the great dry docks and large buildings,natttrally some one will ask what it cost, $12,5000,000 have been invested here. In every shop there are modern machinery of latest type and any visitor upon entering the gate way Will first come to the joiners department There they find a large 3 story brick buildivg 300 x 60 the first and second floor ior Joiner work proper. In this department is where the beauti ful work is Jdone for the ships such as births, lockers and all officers cabinets are shaped carved and placed in the ships, making them like a palace. In this work Mr. Johu Lowry has full charge under him Mr. Robt. Staples is his foreman. In this branch of work will be found a corpse of selected mechanics as the country can afford. The third floor of this building is now occupied by pattern makers where the patterns are made for all foundry work, both in iron and brass. The visitor will proceed on ward when the next building is reached they will see the greatest machine shop in the world to day. It js 500 feet in ilZSft and i 00 feet wide iu this department there are lathes -diapers, drills and cranes. In tliis building is where the great engines are built to go in the ships, it was there the powerful engines ot the Kentucky and Kearsarge were built. Leaving this they enter the boiler making department where they will see the great bending and punching machines used to construct the monster boilers for these ships (loin from this the enter the blacksmith shop where the sound of steam hammers are numerous they can stand by and see these parts being formed suitable to some angle or for some portion of the ship. Centrally they find the power house where steam and electric power goes out to all parts of the yard and is put into action on the ship for testing purposes and for constructing same. Leav ing this they behold the mon ster dock when completed will be the largest in America. Go ing along further they enter the sheet iron shop where iron is cut is varous shapes and forms as easy as a saleslady wou-d cut a piece of velvet the great shears and punchers makes it interest ing to the visitor. Now we enter the last building going this di ection which is the ship shed where the 32 loot bending rolls th largest in the world, can be seen in operation bending and forming iron for the hulls of the boats. It was whn Mr. Huntington made his Srst step that the peo pie of Newport News gave him credit for the vast amount o! work he has done. To day uears ly 6000 men and boys find em ploy men t supporting themselves and families pleasantly, they have 110 tear of being thrown from this yard as long as ship construction goes on so rapid. Newport News can justly be proud of having the finest ship yard in the world at this time As one looks at the monster war ships ithey would say nothing more than words of praise and wish them continued success. The battle ships ate Hearing completion and it is supposed the Kearsarge will enier into cammission about Jure 1st, an the Kentucky six weeks liter. Work on the monitor Arkan sas has begun and several other ships, including the mail liners for the Pacific trade. The two now in construction for the Cromwell line are nearing com pletion very fast, and il nothing prevents, the third battleship, the Illinois will go to comple tion scon. We look back twenty years and there was really no New port News, but 1900 finds it the most prosperous city in all this land, with its great i&ilroad ter minus, and with the dry dock il cannot be excelled at present. Its shipment of grain is great, being greatly ahead ot it? sister city, Norfolk, Va. Look, if you please, at its growth ! Ten years ago it nnm bered about six or eight thous and people; today it goes be yond twenty thousand. It has in its limits churches of all denominations, secret or ganizations too numerous to mention, its public schools and all these things that advance civilization to the top round of final success is with us now. To the workman Newport News is the spot to his pleasure. There is no necessity of any person to be idle, as work has no limit here. All over our city we can see the most modern structures of architecture, and all about us aie continually going to comple tion manufacturing plants of various kinds. All accommodation of electric car service can be had here. The Newport News, Ocean View & Old Point electric read is the inest equipped in the State. The beautiful scenery along the route is pleasant, and upon going to Old Point one can enter the fort and there view the Chesapeake is fur as the natural eye can see. Then take a reversed view and see the great disappearing ar mor piercing guns that protect both Norfolk and Newport News from danger of the enemy. Leaving the fort we reach the Soldiers' Home, which is beau tiful in St enery and sarcastic in construction. Next we enter the Hunting ton Industrial w;oiks, of Hamp ton, Va., something that every Himptouian is proud of to this day. Respectfully, O. B. OVERTON.

"Only the Scars Remain," Says IIexry Hudson, of the James Smith "Woolen Machinery Co., Philadelphia P;i., who certi fies as follows: " Among the many testimoni al which I see in regard to cer tain meli inea performing cures, cleansing the blood, etc., none impress ma more than my own case. Twenty years ago, at the age of 18 years, I had swellings come on my legs, which broke and became run ning sores. Our family phy sician could do me no good, and it was feared that the bones would be affected. At last, my pood old - JVIother Urged me to try Ayor's Sarsaparilla. I took tnree bottles, the sores healed, and I have not been troubled since. Only the scars remain, and the memory of the past, to remind mt of the good Ayer's Sarsaparilla has done me.

Wilson, Contractor and Builder, Sulphur Springs, Texas, thus speaks of Ayer'a Pills : "Ayer's Pills are the best medicine I ever tried; and, In my judgment, no better general remedy could be devised. I have used them In my family and recommended them to my friends and employes for more than twenty years. To my certain knowledge, many cases of the following complaints have been completely and permanently Cured by the use of Ayer's Pills alone: Third day chills, dumb ague, bilious fever, sick headache, rheumatism, flax, dys pepsia, constipation, and hard colds. I know that a moderate use of Ayer's Pills, continued for a few days or weeks, as the nature of the complaint required, would be found an absolute cure for the disorders I have named above. "I have been selling medicine for eight years, and I can safely say that Ayer's Pills give better satisfaction dian any other Pill I ever sold." J. J. Perry, Spottsylvania C.

All brain workers find Hood's Sarsaparilla peculiarly adapted to their needs. It makes pure, rich, red blood, and from this comes nerve, mental, bodily and digestive strength. "I am glad to uj that Hood's Sarsapa rilla is a very good medicine, especially as a blood purlOer. It hat done me good many times. For several years I suffered greatly with pains of Neuralgia in one eye and about my temples, es pecially at night when I bad been having a hard day of physical and mental labor. I took many remedies, but found help only in Hood's Sarsaparilla which cured me of rheumatism, neuralgia and headache. Hood's Sarsaparilla has proved itself a trui friend.
