In buying the preparations that enter so largely into prescriptions, we procure those made by houses who use assayed drugs. These are drugs that have been subjected to analysis and their medicinal strength determined. Such preparations cost more than many druggists care to pay, but no other should go into prescrip tions. Though we employ the highest grade drugs, our prices are low and we do not believe are ever beaten. CHEROKEE DRUG CO. Cor. Limestone andjFrederick Sts. R I Tax Notice.

Toledo** Exerutlve SIm.tvm Firemen How to Climb l'j> u ItrusM Hand over hand, with his body as rigid as the muscles that maintained it. Mayor Samuel Jones of Toledo, O., moved silently and gracefully up the heavy brass rod leading from the sleep ing quarters of the fire hoys at engine house No. 3 on Jefferson street from the engine room lioor below and only stopped ascending when his head touched the roof, two floors from the ground, says the New York Times. Try as they would, the half dozen healthy firemen could not come nearly up to the mayor’s record as a hand over hand climber. These uthlelic sports occurred the other day at the Central fire station, the mayor having dropped in to pass the time of day en route to affairs of state. There's nothing the mayor en joys more than some exercise which will tost the brawn of a man, and It pleases him to be able to lead and to watch them try to follow. The brass rod is the fireman’s stairway—coming down—but the mayor made it his go ing up, something the men rarely at tempted except when “bantered.” The mayor’s grip is wonderfully strong, bis great, broad hands being well muscled. and well trained. The mayor prefers running or walking downtown to riding; ho prefers to sleep in the open air, and hence upon bis back porch. Tbeir Fntliern, Leical A uthorttlea. Sent Them Over to Study Law.

MAIL BY TELEPHONE. Kenator Fairbanks' Plan to Expe dite Delivery of Importnut Letter*. Senator C. W. Fairbanks of Indiana as soon as the regular session of con gress convenes will take up a matter in which bo is much interested, says a Richmond special dispatch to the New York Times. Just before the adjourn ment last spring he offered a resolution calling upon the postal department to Investigate the feasibility of using the telephone in the delivery of special de livery letters. The senate would not make an appropriation at that time, as the proposition was new*. Senator Fairbanks talks enthusi astically of the matter. lie believes that the adoption of the rural telephone will make it possible for the fanner to receive bis mail as quickly as the man ii^town. He would have it arranged so that the postmaster could open the spe cial delivery letter and road it over the telephone to the man in the country. The rapid extension of telephone lines through the rural districts makes the scheme more easy than it would have been at the time he prepared it. He has talked with merchants and farmers and members of the post office department, and they are all in favor of the plan. He says he intends to push the matter as rapidly as possible.
