Excitement in Texas.

e Great excitement has been caus-
d in the vicinity of Paris, Tex,
by the remarkable recovery of
Mr.. J. E. Corley, who was so
helpless he sould not turn in bed,

relief, he bought a large bottle
and box of DR.. Kings New Life

two boxes OF the Pills and two
bottles o. the Discovery, he was
well and had gained in flesh
thirty-six pounds.

His latest enterprise is a sample shipment Of
the celebrated Cumbacher, which he is selling
at the same price as ordinary lager beer.
When competition comes to Standstill, George
goes them one point better and introduces some
thing entirely out of the usual run Culmbacher
is the ticket now.
II you want TO drink glass of genuine lager
beer, 20 to George Schwarz's, 112 BrOugEton

You that no beer can compare itself with George
Schwarz's beer. 1t needs no experts testimony
to introduce Culmbacher beer. The enterpriS ng
George puts it Oh tap and the people drink it.
You are sure to Cum-back to George SchwarI

SOUTH ALABAMA
A Splendid Territory Awaiting Slvan
nah EnterDriSe.

ELBA, ALA, Jan. 19.-This portion OF
our State, ii properly looked after, will
prove TO be great source Of rex nue and
trade to Georgia's leading seaport town.
Elba, which lies centrally in THAI vast couu-
try which has not as yet been tapped by
railroad, is at the confluence OF Pea and
Whitewater rivers, and thirty miles south
Of Troy. Her situation, in the heart OF the
timber belt, and on the dividing line be-
tween the cotton and wool belts II Ala
bama, places her commercially above any
point in South Alabama, and with her two
rivers Elba can control jO.OUO.OoD feet OF
lumber annually, and with as fine water
power a. any place in the South lumber can
be manufactured here cheaper than at any
other point in the South.
mill here could get enough timber to
saw % load twenty cars daily. She las be
sides 1000 bales Of cotton a year and 3,OJO
tons of fertilizers for freight, saving moth
ing about merchandise From this it can
be readily seen that the freights from this
important point would amount to great
deal in the course of a year, Savannah
would surely be the market for her cotton
and wool and, as trade follows cotton. "a
vannah would nonopoize the grand business
and come in for a good share of trade IN
merchandise. But for Savannah to con-
troll this trade she must look after It, This
territory is being threatened by an invasion
by what is known as the Montgomery and
Florida railroad, which IS now being bull
south from Montgomery. Very nearly fifty
miles IS already built, and within a short
time it will be extended southwark
Can the Georgia Central and the Savan-
nah merchants allow their best territory in
South Alabama to be invaded Let Us look
at the map of South Alabama for 4 mo-
ment. What do we see! First, that Elba
thirty-two miles south OF Troy, Ala, and
thlrty-three mieS north of Geneva, Ala.
Should the Montgomery and Florida road
tap this country at Elba it would drain all
the country within twelve miles of Ozark
and all the country within twelve miles of
Geneva. It would draw trade from
as far west as thirty miles, as
there is nothing to conflict with
1t. w hat Is the remedy to checkmate the
onward march Of the Montgomery aud
Florida railroad 1t is for the Central rail
road to extend the Mobile and (rirard rail
road from Troy to Eiba. The right Of way
has long since been secured, and there is but
one cut on the whole line that eXcee Is seven
feet. With this road extended to Elba the
Central's territory would be so thoroughly
covered and protected that there would be
no fear of its invasion from any quarter.
The Little Montgomery and Florida railroad
would strike stump, ana come to a halt IOr
all time to come. Savannah would secure
good trade that she does not now have and
the Central would add paying branch to
It's already magnificent railroad system.

A LUCKY PURCHASE.
An Investment of $40 Yields $4,000
Worth of Land.

An investment OF $50 1lelQS S4OiOOO
Worth of Land.
ADMISSION, ALA, Jan. 1S-For so Judge
Crook has become the owner of $40, 900
worth of land. Some months ago he agreed
with the Auditor of the State to look up ali
the cases in the county in which the State
had become owner of lands purchased at
tax sales and Straghten out matters W hen
If was all finally adjusted it was found that
the State owned only one tract OF forty
acres in the county. The Judge wrote TO
the Auditor that for the purpose of closing
the entire matter up, and in order that every
foot of land in Calhoun might he again sub
ject to taxation, he would put in his applica-
ton TO buy this particular forty acres held
by the State. The Auditor wrote TO Judge
Crook that he and the Governor and the
Attorney General had looked into the
matter thoroughly, and that $50 would
cover all the cost to the State, and that
he could buy the land for that sum. Judge
Crook forwarded the money and in due
time received a deed. He then for the first
time found it was situated within the cor
porate limits of Admission. 1t appears that
the Woodstock Iron Company became pos
sessed of the land PRIOR TO 1874, but never
gave it in for taxes by oversight 1t was
sold for taxes of the years 1874 and 1875,
| and bid in by the State, and became abso-
lutely the property Of the State. When
! the Admission City Land Company was
| formed this property was sold to it by the
Woodstock Iron Company, and since that
time the Admission City Land Company has
been giving 1t in for taxes, but the State
being the owner the Admission City Land
Company could acquire no title by payment
of taxes The Admission City Land Com
pany has been asking 81 600 an acre for this
land, and has sold of probably four acres
OF it. The Admission City Land Company
hold, possession, and Judge Crook has sued
for possession as well as for damages for de-
tainer
