The season for coughs and colds is now at band and too much care cannot be used to protect the child ren. A child is much more likely to contract diptheria or scarlet fever when be has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of manv mothers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mra. F. F. Starcber, of Ripley, W . V»., says: " I have never used anything other than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for my children, and it has always givsn good satisfaction.” This remedy contain* no opium or other narcotic and may be given a* confidently to a child as to an adult.

On Saturday the most serious accident that has ever occured to machinery on that road, happened ou the Smith-Powers line which runs up CuoniDgham creek. En gineer Win. Stoddard who has been driving “ Shay” No. 4 was just starting out from the upper end of the road with his engine and one heavily loaded car. The point from which be started was at the top of a very steep decline and as soon as the start was made the engine seemed to act strangely. It started almost with a leap, aDd nothing Mr. Stoddard could do seemed to have any effect on the machine. The engine had two sets of air brakes, one direct to the traction wheels, and one for the carB, but neither seemed to have any effect and down the grade they sped at a terrific and increasing speed After running some distance the car lost the rails and was soon a wreck, the trucks being torn off. When he saw he could do nothing more the engineer told the fireman to jump, which he did, and later did so himself. Neither of the men were seriously hurt, but on a sharp curve near the county farm the Io- oomotive left the rails and plunged ioto the bill on a grade, so com pletely wrecking the locomotive that it is hardly likely that it will ever be repaired. Fruit Growers Association The stockholders of the Coquille Valley Fruit Growers’ Association have been meeting in Myrt'e Point thi < week to effect a settlement of the business transacted the past season, and it was agreed that such settle ment should be made by giving each shipper proportionate returns on each box of fruit shipped. It seems that one shipment that should amount to about $1,600 has given no returns, and if this could be col lected the growers would receive very fair results for the season’s business, but a settlement without this will greatly reduce the profits. The latter end of the season proved more profitable than the be ginning, the Association having sent a representative to the market to look after the interests,and if this method had been followed right through, there is no doubt but that the AsBsociation can finally work out a syatem that will bring results to its membeis, if the members do not become discouraged. It is per tain that by standing together they can get better results than by each one acting separately, otherwise there is nothing in the statement that "in union there is strength,” and those who are anxious for the development of this section ns a fruit-growing country would be glad to see the members of the As sociation remain true to it and make a larger profit the coming season.— Myrtle Point Fnterprise. MrB Pownder Passes Aw ay. Mrs. R . R. Pownder, of this city, passed peacefully away at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Gage, on Saturday evening, ufter a long and tedious illness. Last spring she was taken to California with the hopes that the change would benefit her, but it was of no avail and she continued to fail since her return until the end came. Mr. Pownder, who has been in Seattle for the past several months, returned the morning of the day ot Mrs. Pownder’s death. Mrs. Pownder was born in Doug las county,Oregon, May 16th, 1888, and was 21 years, 9 months and 19 days old. She was married to R. R. Pownder, Oct. 17tb, 1906. Two children were born to them, Rupert, two years old and Re Norme, 11 months old. Resides her husband and two children she leaves her pareuts, Mr. and Mrs. YV. \V. Gage, and brothers and sisters as follows: Mr. Clyde Gage, Mrs. Virginia Evernden and Missea Gladys and Bonnie Gage, of Coquille; Mes- datnes Clara Jjandretb and Nannie Wilhoit, of California; \V. A Gage, of Alleghany, Oregon, and Mrs. Vivian Fish, of Bancroft, Oregon. The funeral services were con ducted at the M. E. Church, South, by T. O. Bunch, of Marshfield, as sisted by Rev. Holliday, of this city. Deceased was a member of the Adventist church and the iutermeut took plaoe in the Maaonic cemetery. S I . 50 P e r Y e a r TAG DAY IN COQUILLE. Great Success Financially— Enjoyable Time Had— C. H. S Boys Win Honors. ‘‘Tag Day,” under the manage ment of the Coquille Athletic Club, proved a great financial success, a« well as one of amusement and merrymaking. As was announced an effort was made to raise money to pay the balance due on the lots purchased by the Coquille Library Association, and on Friday morning a large number of ladies and girls appeared on the streets with tagB which were disposed of at ten cents each in great numbers. Before thi day was over hardly a person could be seen on the streets but was wear ing one or more tags. At 2:30 p. m. the school appeared in parade, beaded by tbe brass band and did their part toward the day’s entertainment. After they bad marched through tbe principal streets and returned to the school- house, as fine (?) a looking set of “ plug uglies” ns one would wish to see appeared on the scene, and we must say that their part of the pro. gram was a “ howling” success in every sense of the word. The in dividual who rode the ox came very nearly furnishing more of the en tertainment than he anticipated. Someone poured a little “ high-life” on the back of bis mount, and very soon there was something doing fast and furious. Mr. Bovine gave his tail a peculiar twist and emitted an indescribable snort, and the way he went down the street was not slow. Not many streets were passed before the rider and his steed parted company rather abruptly for the former. There were many comi cal stunts for the amusement of the throng. The committee on finances re pot ts gross receipts to the amount of $207.00. The expenses were $42, leaving a net balance of $165. To this was added a sum in the hands of the Athletic Club sufficient fo make the amount an even $200. The largest contributions were made through the sale of tags and the basket ball game, the former's sum being $119.50, while the latter’s was $62. Aside from these there were a few side shows which con tributed the balance, among which were the “ Dime,” the “ Scenic,” an ‘‘Art Gallery” and a “ Dog Show.” SUIT 3 r r k . Stiff neck is caused by rheuma tism of the muscles of tbe neck. It is usually confined to one side, or to the back of the neck and one side. While it is often quite painful, quick relief may be had by apply ing Chamberlain's Liniment. Not one case of rheumatism in ten re quires internal treatment. When there is no fever and no swelling as in muscular and chronic rheumatism, Chamberlain’s Liniment will ac complish more than any internal treatment. For* sale by R. 8. Knowlton. M E Church South.
