SELMA SETTINGS.
Mrs. W. P. Armstrong Laid to Rest. Politics All the Go Now.
 Death of an Infant.

SELMA, March 1.-ISpecial. 1.-The re- mains of Mrs. w. P. Armstrong were laid to rest in. Live Oak cemetery yesterday. The funeral services were held in the First Presbyterian church at o'clock. Long before that hour the large auditorium and Sunday school room of the church were filled with friends, who had come to pay a last sad tribute to the one whom all re- spected and loved.
 Dr. Ceicel took as his text ''I am dumb; open not my mouth because thou didst it.' As he talked of the many virtues and good deeds of the departed every face in the audience YVES wet with tears.
 Mrs. Armstrong was Q true and noble Christian woman, and many loved her. No death has ever occurred in Selma which caused such universal sorrow.
 Politics has been quiet for the past few days. The city democratic executive com mittee will meet tomorrow at noon and it is hoped will name an early day for the pri- mary. All good democrats are anxious for the family fight to be brought to an end , and the primary will settle it.

BUSINESS.

NEW YORK, March 1.-Bradstreet's on Saturday, March 2, will say: While the course of general trade during the first two months of the country has been disappoint- ing. February ends and March begins with tangible, though not as yet satisfac- tory signs of improvement. It is encouraging to note that gains are reported in tho volume of trade at almost every southern city, not withstanding advices from northern cities whose jobbers supply southern and southwestern markets that low prices for products had curtailed purchasing ability at the south and southwest.
 At the west there Is less encouragement, improvement being reported only from Louisville, Chicago, St. Louis and St. Paul. Milder weather has not favored the business situation at the northwest.
 The movement of phosphates is more active at Charleston, and business is in- creasing at Nashville, although southern country roads are heavy. The approach ing international fair at Atlanta results in employment of more people, and merchants are more hopeful, believing decreased cot ton acreage and increased culture in other lines will benefit the planter financially.
 Savannah, Jacksonville an d Birmin ham report moderately increased demand, as does New Orleans, the mardi gras having drawn many visitors and the action otthe senate as to sugar bounties having stimu- lated better feeling. Weather conditions have also resulted in gain.

It Has Become Blessing to the Entire
 Country.
Men and Women in the Highest Stations
 Publicly Recommend It.
Grateful People Everywhere Heartfully
 Indorse the Famous Remedy

It makes people well!
 It builds up the weakened, shattered nerves; it sends new life and blood through the arteries.
 Where everything else has failed Paine's celery compound-the greatest achievement of that giant among men, the ablest physi- elan of this generation, Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D., IL. D., of Dartmouth this wonderful Paine's celery compound has in thousands of cases cured disease.
 It has freed old age from many of it's in- firmities. It has made thousands of lives worth living that were once 8 burden. It has proven itself so easily the greatest of all spring remedies, making the weak strong and the infirm well, that in the big cities, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, St. Louis and the rest, the leading news papers, making their own canvasses, have found that the demand for Paine's celery compound is enormous, as far surpassing that of any other remedy as the curative power of this great compound does indis- putably surpass that of any other.
 For Paine's celery compound is not patent medicine. It is not an ordinary tonic, sarsaparilla or nervine. It is 50 su- perior to them all that they are not even
Birmingham age-herald., 1895-03-02

good imitators.
 Paine's celery compound positively and permanently cures nervous debility aud exhaustion. Neuralgia, sleeplessness, mel ancholia, hysteria and headaches yield to it's refreshing properties-all these troubles are directly traceable to the one cause, poorness of the blood and poorness of the nervous tissues.
 For kidney troubles it is the most in falli- ble of remedies. It owes it's unfailing power to check at once the progress Of this break down among the tissues of the kidneys to it's remarkable nutritive efficiency.
 Just as soon as Paine's celery compound begins it's strengthening work there is at once rallying of all the important organs of the body. The appetite improves, the spirits become more hopeful, the dull pains of disease lessen, sound, refreshing sleep returns, "that tired, worn-out feeling" departs, and the sufferer knows, without being told by physician, that he or she is getting we'll.
 The season of March, April and May-the springtime, when if one can do so he must recuperate his lost strength and get back the health that nature intended for him that season is here. It behooves every man, woman and youth now to get well. And Paire's celery compound makes peo- pie well.

Nature wisely provides that even the wisest men and women cannot estimate each others mental furnishings with any degree of accuracy, and it is also arranged that even the foolishest among us knows / something that some one else doesn't know. A Third avenue matron forgot all this, however, the other day when her; doorbell rang and the servant brought up the card of prominent local literary woman. As the lady of the house touched herself up before the mirror preparatory to- descending to the parlor she quaked in her boots

 She nerved herself, however, and went down to greet the appalling guest And the formidable Mrs. Goggles nestled up to her on the sofa, took her hand again with tinaidly conflding touch and said in al most mysterious whisper:

Luck Has Had Much to Do With Build
 ing Many of Them.


 It has been asserted that all the millions taken from the lower levels of the Conn stock are due to blast fired without or ders in the Crown Point mine, and I know of at least three fortunes of over Sl,- GOO, 900 each accrued to the owners of mining shares which they vainly sought to dispose of at beggarly figures on the very eve of developments ts multiplying their values by hundreds and thousands. Very many real estate owners in San Francisco are in affiuenoe today because they could not sell their holdings during the great . depression caused by the discovery of gold on Fraser river, and large hotel in the city occupies a block of land which tho keeper of an eating house reluctantly took for board bill of $e0, s6 years ago.
 A very prominent mining stock opera tor, now deceased, admitted that mistake in telegraphio cipher dispatch from Vir- ginia City to his broker in San Francisco saved him from bankruptcy at a critical time. Had he sold the stock short as he intended, ruin would have resulted, but the broker bought instead and profit of $250, 900 followed. Another well known San Francisco stock operator, who enjoys tho rental of substantial building on Montgomery street, might relate a some- what similar personal experience were he so disposed.
 A gopher hole led to the discovery of the valuable deposits on Shanes flat, in Tu- lumne county, and in falling over a cliff drunken Swede brought to light one of the richest quartz veins in Amador coun- ty.
 In the summer of 1859, in defiance of the advice and jeers of their neighbors a party of inexperienced miners fiumed rifle of the North Tuba, where the shore bedrock was bare, and there was no indi- cation of gravel in the channel, and in- deed no gravel of consequence was found in the bed of the stream after the water had been diverted from it, but the bare creyices were studded with nuggets from 1 to 90 ounces in weight There was not less than half bushel of them, and many old residents of San Francisco will recall the exhibition of them for few days in a Montgomery street window Overland Monthly.

They Prefer an Ancient Tome to a Modern
 Newspaper.
 The human bookworm drinks from the fount of knowledge springing from brains of different authors, according to individ- ual taste, but the insect bookworm bores and eats its way through the covers and . leaves of books according to it's discrimi- hating taste. It prefers old books having paper leaves and leather bindings peoul- far to the earlier ages. One volume, print ed in 1726 Gan edition of the Psalms of David) evidently is the sweetest morsel to this worm, as its destructive work is more visible than in three other books bearing ths dates of 1740 1750 and 1627 The leather and pasteboard coverings are rid dled through and through with tiny holes. The leaves are so closely eaten down that but few whole pages remain. Some of the leaves look as if they were cut with sharp instrument Even the 1axen threads that held the leaves together were nib bled at
 To demonstrate the fact of it's special lovo for aged books an experiment. was made with several pieces of newspaper, which were cut the size of the pages of the book upon which the bookworm was working and placed in it alternately. In a hOW uoJ VhSh ui2C DOOA Wd5 OpcHcuy III every instance the little destroyer had crawled past the newspaper sheets and mado its meal upon the timeworn pages of the book So it would seem the book worm is extremely particular about the kinds of paper it diets upon.
 Tho bOokworm works systematically. Having made it's entrance through the leather binding of book by boring tiny hole from the outside, it makes paths over tho inside upon tho pasteboard by burrow- ing. These roads are perfectly connected and uniform in width, for it lies in each ono as it boros. Ofttimes it cuts path back to where it first entered, thus mak- ing double route. When it reaches the leaves it works more leisurely, leaving tho traces of it's work behind it, with the crumbs of it's meals. It's life at longest is but few months. Boston Traveller.

Condition of Trade.

The events Of the week are promising
in nature, though to speculative markets
not entirely encouraging. The great
advance in cotton had arrested exports,
and so deranged exchanges that ship
ments of gold were for time
pprehended, but the break in the
market indicates that the natural
movement of the product may soon be
restored. The hating Of demand and
moderate yielding of prices in the great
industrial markets shows that a season
of reasonable attention to natural con-
ditions has arrived, and gives hope that
the future demand will be more nearly
proportional to actual consumption
With prices rapidly advancing, buying
by traders was for months greatly in
excess of distribution to consumers,
and the pause, while surplus stocks are
worked off, will enable commercial
mariners to get their latitude and longi-
tude, and measure conditions more
correctly. Happily, neither unusual
labor nor monetary disturbances inter
fere, and the different trades are having
opportunity to see how far recent
prices can be maintained. The week
has brought little further decline in
iron and steel products, in hides and
leather, and a more yielding tore in
boots and shoes.

Gen. Harrison's Literary Work.

1t is announced that ex-President
Benjamin Harrison is engaged in
writing series of magazine articles for
The Ladies Home Journal, in which
periodical they will begin in the Deem
Der number. The series will be called
This Country of Ours and will
consist of ten articles and probably
more. The papers are being written
by General Harrison especially for
women, to meet growing, widespread
desire on their part TO intelligently
understand the workings of our Gov
eminent and the great National
questions. 1t will be the aim of the
articles to explain in the clear and
concise style for which the ex-President
is famous, just what the United States
Government means; the origin and
meaning of the Constitution; how laws
are enacted and enforced; what the
powers of the President and other
officials are; what the Judiciary system
means; how our foreign relations are
brought about and their meaning; how
Congress and the Senate legislate, in
fact, a complete explanation of the
Government told IN a popular way
General Harrison writes the articles
from the standpoint of a citizen who
understands his subject. They have no
bearing on politics whatever While
directly intended for women, the
articles will naturally have a much
broader scope and likewise interest
men, especially young men.
