KILLED ON GRAVEL TRAIN.
John Henderson, colored, was
killed on a gravel train near
Upton about 5 o'clock Monday
afternoon. Henderson was riding
on the top of a car loaded with
graved, the ojjening through
which the gravel is dumped gave
way and he fell through to the
ground, several hundred pounds
of gravel falling on him. The
train was stopped immediately
and as there were no bruises on
his body it is likely he was
smothered to death by the gravel
falling on him. As soon as the
opening gave way the section
boss called to all the men to get
their shovels and get busy, and
the last words of Henderson
wen? "Yes boys, hurry up." The
remains were brought to Bas-
trop for interment, and services
wore held by Rev. Hill, of the
Baptist church of Waco. Hen-
derson formerly lived at Somer-
ville.

You Can Be Strong, Tool
As the season advances, you'll bo outdoors more and
more. First thing you know, your muscles will be sore and
lame. Then you'll need a good liniment. Here's where
NYAL'S LINIMENT comes to the rescue.
NYAL'S LINIMENT is absorbed by every j>oro and is
taken up into the system. In this way all the soreness and
stiffness is quickly removed with lasting results. Painful
swellings and bruises are given the greatest relief on short
notice.
After an hour's work in the garden, "playing catch," or
a hundred and one forms of exercise, you're liable to be lame
and stiff if you don't apply NYAL'S LINIMENT. And you,
my dear lady, after a day's work house-cleaning or other
work around the house, are liable to be sove in the muscles
and joints if you don't rub in NYAL'S LINIMENT.
NYAL'S LINIMENT costs on 25 and BO cents the bottle!
Certainly cheap in price for the results it brings.
We handle a complete line of NYAL'S FAMILY REME-
DIES. We recommend them, too, because we know that
they are the best.
