TODD, District Agent Office, Adams Building Gastonia, - N. C. The Man About Town left town the other day. He went to McAdenvllle ln an automobile, spent a few min utes, rode back to Lowell on the Lowell-McAdenvllle Railroad, Lim ited, and returned to Gastonia on No. 41 In the evening In time for supper. Did you ever take a ride on the Low ell-McAdenvllle Railroad, Limited? If not, you have missed something. This line, about a mile or a little bet ter In length, connects these two towns and is operated by mule pow er. - That Is, It has been for many years past, but the mules' days are numbered and the picturesqe flat car with old Frank or Dick patiently pulling It up the long haul from Mc Adenville to Lowell will soon be seen no more forever. The owners of the road, the McAden Mills, have ordered a gasolene engine wnich was shipped some days ago and the arrival of which is expected any day now. When It does come the picturesqueness of , this railroad will be gone. Old Frank, who has done faithful service at the helm for the past eight years, will be transferred to other pastures green or perchance to the prosaic work of pulling an ordinary wagon Such a fate will also probably befall Dick also. His days of service ln the railroad harness are not so long but he has also done his duty well. There are no plush-covered seats with comfy springs on them on the passenger cars of this road pardon thp error, the car, I should have said. You sit in a split bottom straight chair, lean your back against a bale of cotton or a goods box, place your feet on, the hind dashboard and survey the scenery. The car itself is flat, angles everywhere, no round corners in the spring and summer weather there is nothing abeve but the deep blue firmament and if a summer shower should happen along at the right time it would catch you entirely unprepared, unless per- chanc you had an umbrella along. In the seasons of the year when bad weather is the rule and not the ex ception, a canopy of canvas is erect ed over the car but, should the snow or rain or sleet be coming sidewaise, it would more than likely get you Several years ago the Man About Town was taking a ride (not a pleas ure ride but a business one) on this car. It was packed and jammed wit'h freight, express and human beings. A drenching rain was encountered and the men and women resembled a bunch of half-drowned rats when they reached the end of the journey. With all these drawbacks, however, the Lowell-McAdenvllle Railroad, Limited, has Its advantages and af fords a quick and easy way to get from one town to the other. On the aown trip to AicAaenviiie no power is required after a short distance has been covered, so the mule is releas ed and the car takes a gravity shoot the balance of the way. The mule, navmg been thoroughly trained, is liberated and lelsurly walks the bal ance of the way, taking the macadam road, However, In preference to the roadbed of t'he railroad. The coming of the gasolene engine will doubtless mean quicker trips and Is no doubt the forerunner of closed cars and a better day general ly. Mr. J. C. Walker, the efficient general manager, while somewhat reluctant to part with his faithful mules, Is enthusiastic over the pro posed change in the motive power and believes it will be an Improve- n b An Up-to-Date Clergyman Describes M Lp-toDaU Household Remedy that Has Had the Test of .

C, writes : MI desire to make known for the bene fit of suffering humanity my experience with Peruna. "I was afflicted with catarrh of the stomach, and though I tried many rem edies and applied to several doctors, it was all In vain. "Had It not been for Pernna I believe I would have been in my grave to-day. "I have every reason to believe that Pernna is the greatest remedy for ca tarrh known to the world. Therefore I have been, and shall continne to rec ommend it to those who are unwell." j DUKES, Pastor of the Unitarian Church at Plnotown. N. C, writes i My wife has been ih a very bad state of health for several years, and noth ing seemed to do her any good until she began to use Peruna one month ago. Since then .the color has returned to her face, and she is gaining in flesh every dsy, and I believe she is a well woman to-day. "My little boy, ten years old, was pale and had but litUo lue. He begun to use Peruna the day his mother began. To day his face is rosy, and he is out in the yard rnnning and Jumping with the rest of the children." Throat Trouble. Rev. II. W. Tate, fc Lincoln Are, Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, Ohio, writea that for several years he has been troub led with a peculiar spasmodic affection of the throat, which interfered with hts vocation as a preacher. He took Peru na and his trouble disappeared. believes that cotton ehould be the farmer's surplus crop and in that be is exactly right, if the Man About Town knows anything. Recent rec ords of corn growing in Gaston, as published from time to time in The Gazette, prove beyond any doubt Whatever that we can raise splendid Mr. Kite Gets Contract. Mr. R. L. Ffte, of Gastonia, has been awarded the contract for the erection of the handsome new resi dence whicfh Mrs. E. C. Wilson will build on her recently acquired prop erty, corner South Marietta street tion. The man who raises every thing he needs for himself and fam ily and then plants his surplus acres in cotton will always have plenty and to spare. Mr. Abernethy Is also something of a fruit raiser and has promised the Man About Town some of his luscious aonles and neaches when they come in season. It is his opinion that our farmers are alto gether too neglectful of fruit-raising and here again we agree wii.li him Mr. Abernethy Is a native Gaston countlan and has resided at his pres ent place for over thirty yr. One of his uncles at one time owned practically all of the land on which the town of Lowell now stands, 200 acres or a little more, which he 30M in a lump for about $700 many years ago when he moved to Indiana to live. Since then this land has dou bled In value many times. yields of corn to t'he acre in this sec- and Franklin Avenue. The house will be constructed according to plans and specifications prepared by Messrs. Sayre & Baldwin, architects. Anderson, S. C. This residence is to cost complete in the neighborhood of $10,000 and will be one of the hand somest in Gastonia. It Is to be a frame structure and will contain ten or more rooms. While not colonial in style as a whole it will have heavy colonial columns at the front. Con tractor FIte expects to commence work on ttie building in the very near future. ment. wnne loaning a little while in Lowell the Man About Town ran up on his friend, Mr. G. W. Abernethy, who lives a mile from that place and who, according to our notion, has me rigni mea of farming. Mr. Aber nethy believes, for Instance, that ev ery farmer ought to raise his own corn and his own hogs. Instead of buying meat and corn they ought to sell It. He has sold some meat, had plenty of it for himself and still has some to dispose of. Mr. Abernethy Play at Linwood. Next Monday evening, the 28th, the Adelphlan Literary Society of Linwood College will present a play entitled "The Cricket on the Hearth." ln three acts. Miss E. Mvrtle Falls chief marshal for the occasion and her assistants are Misses Neppie Smith. Myrtle Falls, Bess McCrlght, Genevieve Neal and Beulah Fox sworth. Gastonia will no doubt be represented at the play by a good delegation. More scandal is -being unearthed by the investigation of municipal af fairs now going on In Pittsburg, Pa. Before It Is over It Is likely that a number of men In high positions will be caught ln the drag set. New Hampshire's Senator has In troduced a bill making it a misde meanor for any one to be drunk ln the 'District of Columbia. The bill provides for a penalty of $100 or two years imprisonment in the home for inebriates. APRIL 9th WATCH . - ' w,r t-. -. p , ; ; f II i.
