Ed Rad’s House Burned.
Friday afternoon about five
o’clock the residence of Ed Rau
on Walnut street was destroyed
by fire, the building and contents
being an entire loss. The origin
of the fire is unknown, but it-is
supposed to have caught from
one of the flues, as the bedroom
and kitchen stoves had fires in
them. *
The building was insured for
1800, and the furniture for $800

Mr. and Mrs. Rau’liad left the

the outburst of flames, to go to
the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. C.
Williamson, Mrs. Itau’s parents,
for the purpose of leaving the
baby, as they contemplated at-
tending the show that night.
Just as they entered the house,
Mrs. Williamson met them with
the news that their house was
burning, a neighbor having tele-
phoned her a moment previous.
Mr. Rau informs the Chronicle
that he will rebuild at once, and
contrctors have been asked for
proposals on a structure to cost
$1,250.

CURING CATARRH
Accept Our Advice and Try This
Remedy at Our Risk.
Catarrh is a disease *>f the mu-
cous membrane. The’ mucous
membrane.is, one may say’, fjie
interior lining of the body. Ca-
tarrh therefore may exist in any
part,of the system.
When the catarrhal poison'at-
tacks the mucous membrane, in-
flammation andconjestionare pro-
duceyi and nature fails to throw
off the accumulated poisohs. Tho
organ which, has been afflicted
ceases to perform its proper func-
tion as nature intended it should.
The result, is, complication upon
complication, which -ma? lead to
other aven mpTe serjous afflic-
tions.
We honestly believe Rexall
Muco-Tone will do wonders to-
ward overcoming catarrh. It is
made from the prescription of an
eminent physician, who made a
.long study of catarrh, and .his
great success with this remedy
was an enviable one.
We want you if you are a suf-
ferer from catarrh in any form
to give Rexall Mucu-Tone a
thorough trial. Use it with reg-
ularity and persistency for a
reasonable time, then if you are
not satisfied, come back and tell
us, and without question or for-
mality we will hand back to you
every cent you paid us. This is
certainly the fairest offer that
any one could make and should
attest our sincerity of purpose.
It comes in two sizes, prices 50
cents and S1-.00. Remember
you can obtain it only at—The
Rexall Store. City Drug Store,

yond the million-dollar Connecti-
cut avenue bridge. The amount
of money involved in the deal is
not stated. The announcement
is made in the Washington Even-
ing Star as follows:
“A deed was placed t>n record
this week by which Franklin T.
Sanner and William A. Hill trans-
fer to Senator Joseph Bailey of

necticut avenue, on the west side

An Arreat by Jackson and a Tima Ha
Didn’t Danca.
It was a fighting age in which
Andrew Jackson lived, and every
man who expected to command the
respect of the world went prepared
not only to fight at a moment’s no-
tice,- but also to meet his man on
the field of honor.
It can easily be imagined that
Andrew Jackson, with his excitable
nature, his domineering manner'tod
his habit of regarding every op-
ponent as a personal enemy, was by
no means tne most peaceably dis-
posed citizen of the new settlements
of Tennessee. The stories of all
his brawls and duels would fill a
volume.
Jackson’s superb nerve is well il-
lustrated by the following anecdote
which comes down to us from the
All differences have been ad-
justed and agreement reached be-
tween County Commissiner Bond
and Messrs. Headlee, Ham and
Alexander,representing the Busi-
ness League of Teague, whereby
the way is now clear for the
court to award the contract for
the construction of the long-
talked of roads in this precinct.v
The agreement was reached
Saturday, and the parties thereto
signed a prayer to the court re-
citing the fact that there are no
obstacles to the awarding of the
contract under certain specifica-
tions, to-wit: That the contract
will be awarded toC. E. Johnson,
that the roads will be built. ac-
cording to the plans and specifica-
tions of Engineer Brown, with
certain additions, that each item
of said Johnson’s-bid be discount-
ed four per cent, and the bond re-
quired of him reduced to $6,000
in view of the elimination of
bridge building, and fence build-
ing and reduction of mileage;
and that the weight of the roller
be increased from tjiree to four
tons.
As the Chronicle understands
the status of affairs now, the
road situation may be summed
up thus: G. E. Johnson is to be
awarded the contract for the
building of the roads, approxi-
mately 28 miles, averaging about
$1,250 per mile. The roads are
to be of clay according to the
is quite a saving to the district,
estimated at $5,000. By the el-
imination of these items and the
four per cent reduction from the
original bid, and the further op-
tion of reducing the mileage four
miles, the sum of $17,500.00 is
left to be applied to the various
roads in the district not included
In Mr. Brown’s specifications. In
other words Mr. Johnson will
receive the contract for some-
thing like $30,000.00 worth
road building in the district.
It now appears^ that the last
oT~
obstacle is removed to the road
building, and as soon as the the
details to the contract cau be ar-
ranged, bond filed and necessary
teams and tools secured by the
contractor, we presume the work
will be commenced.
The roads contracted for ex-
tend from Teague to Shanks,
from Simsboro to Cotton Git?,
from Teague to District line in
direction of Fairfield, from Teague
2 1-2 miles west, to the district
line, south from Teague to 1 mile
beyond Mills, from Teague to
Cross Roads on the Dew road.

ordered the sheriff to arrest tho
man, and twice the sheriff was over-
awed by the desperado’s threats and
formidable appearance. (
“Deputize me. I’ll arrest him
myaelf!” said Jackson, losing pa-
tience at last.
The sheriff complied, and Jack-
son, taking two pistols, walked out
into the street. Bean at once meek-
