Barriugton?Hall ' Is just pure Mocha and Java prepared In a new way. The cof fee berry is cut up (not ground) by knives of almost razor sharp ness into small uniform particles. Thus it is not crushed, as by the old method of grinding, and the little oil cells remain unbroken. The essential oil (food product) cannot evaporate and is preserved indefinitely. This is one reason why a pound of Barrington Hall will make IS to 20 cups more of full strength coffee than will any coffee ground the old way; why it excels all other coffee in flavor and why it will keep perfectly until used. f But the main thing about Barr ington Hall Coffee is that it can be used without ill effect by those who find ordinary coffee injures them, because the yellow tannin bearing skin and dust (the only injurious properties of coffee) are removed by the "steel-cut" pro cess. A delicious coffee not a tasteless substitute, r '" JPrlce, per pound, 40c POUND A. V.

MOBILE, Ala., April 25. -The southbound passenger train on the Mobile and Ohio R. R. due in this city at 7:30 o'clock last night has been lost on the line some where be tween Citronelli four miles above this city and Moran City, Miss., and ifp to an early hour today had not been heard from. The tornado tore down all wires and the railroad company is without telegraphic communication with any part of the system beyond Citronelli. The tornado is believed to have thrown heavy trees across the track in its path into Alabama and the fact that all wires are down has prevented warning being given to the passenger train. Fears arc expressed here that the train may have crashed into some of those heavy obstructions and anoth er catastrophe added to the work of the elements. At the office of the Mobile. Ohio R. R. it was announced that nothing had been heard of the south, bound passenger train. The north bound train left Mobile about on time, 7:30 o'clock last night, reached Citroneli on time and has been absolutely lost along with the southbound train from that point. Most of those places are merely a collection of a few stores and dwel lings, so that the property loses will not reach very large ligurcs. io es timates of property damage have yet been made with the exception of Amite, La., and Purvis, Miss., the two worst sufferers where the damage will never be estimated in the aggregate, was done to timber lands, to planta I'M lia three of others you will be quick to appreciate if you will come in, if only for a "try-on."

The House was in a legislative session for but two hours today during which time after considerable discussion it passed the bill re-classifying the in crease in the pay of certain officials and employes of the customs service.
