Naggng is disease. says an eminent physician in the last North Amercian Re view. "It is often." says Dr. Edson. "the result of diseased condition or of strains on the strength"
 It is the nervous men and women who most readily fall into that unfortunate class, and anything that does away with nervous weakness will cure the depres- sion. irritability and the nagging habit that so often accompanies a rundown nervous condition.
 Persons who lead an active life need something to invigorate their nerves and to give them fresh, ruddy blood. It is the rebellious nerves overtaxed by domestic duties. added to the constant living in the vitated atmosphere of indoors that reduces the nervous strength of so many women.
 Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D.. LID, presented to his profession the results of accurate investigations in the medical laboratory. His formula for recruiting worn-out nervous tissues and building up the nerve-centers when exhausted. this remarkable formula now known the

 Agent J. M. sutton of the Southern railway passenger office here. yesterday received instructions. to take charge of the local passenger department of the Alabama Great Southern and look after the interest of that line just as he does for the Southern's line in his territory.
 Since the Southern took possession of the Alabama Great Southern railroaders have been looking every day for it to take actual charge of the passenger de- partment. Up to yesterday neither the agents here of the Southern nor Cincn- natl, New Orleans and Texas Pacific have had any instrucuqnS about working busi- ness Tor the AiaDdfnaSt1HedI southern.

world over as Pane's celery compound. has become familiar to every medical practitioner and family physician.
 "Break-down and nervous prostration come," says these physicians, unless the great nerve centerS are promptly fed upon proper nutritive material"
 Paine's celery compound is the one great nerve feeder and nerve restora- tive. By its means all the functions of the body receive fresh supply of nerve food. It encourages the body to manu- facture an abundant supply Of this indis- pensable vital force, without which there can be no health, strength nor hap piness in living. From the lack of nerve force men and women are driven to de- spondency, melancholia, insanity and suicide.
 Thousands of letters like the following from Mrs. Lizzie Arnott of Mansfield, O., are received by the proprietors of Paines celery compound every month in the year.
 "I have used two bottles of Paines celery compound for nervousness and have found great relief from it's use It is truly q wonderful remedy. I am bet ter and am using no more medicine now"

An Interesting Case Before Judge Porter-The
 General Routine Work.

Judge Porter is hearing the Gleason will case in the chancery court room.
 An outline of the case as given to the State Herald reporter yesterday by one of the partiesis as follows:
 On July 26. 1894, it is claimed that Mrs. Julia Gleason died of acute mania. She made a will July G. giving her property to John F. Gleason, purporting to be her husband Grace T Heineke. the sister of the testatrix, contests the will on al- legged grounds of insanity, undue infiu- ence and fraud in that the said John F. Gleason was not the lawful husband of the said Julia Eva Gleason.
 The defense, however, has produced the certificate of his marriage to testa- trix in Kansas.
 This is contradicted by contestants, who claim that Gleason had wife in Cincinnati at the time he married tes- tatIix.
 The defense denies the allegation.
 The contestant further claims that one Nellie Gleason was the wife of MT. Glea- son and introduced the deposition of Nell lie Gleason, taken in Shelbyville, Ind. Defense yesterday afternoon entered motion to suppress the deposition on the ground that Nellie Gleason was in court.
 Contestant claimed that there was no proof of her identity. . The court sus- tained the motion. .sassa

THE LORDS PRA YER.

The following Interesting anecdote
is told OF Mr.. Booth, the American
tragedian-Booth and several friends
had been invited to dine with an old
gentleman in Baltimore, OF distin-
guished kindness, urbanity, and pie
ty. The host, though disappearing
OF theatres and theatre going, had
heard so much of Booths remark
able powers that curiosity to see the
man had, in this instance, overcome
all his scruples. After dinner was
over, lamps lighted, and the compa-
ny reseated in the dra wing room,
some one requested Booth as par
ticular favor, and one which all pres
ent would, doubtless, appreciate, to
read aloud THE Lords Prayer
Booth expressed his ready willingness
to afford them this qualification.
and all eyes were turned expectant-
ly upon him. Booth rose slowly
and reverently from his chair. twas
wonderful to watch the play OF emo
ton that convulsed his countenance.
He became deathly pale, and his eyes,
turned tremblingly upwards, were
wet with tears. AS vet he had not
spoken. The silence could be felt. 1t
became absolutely painful, until at
last the spell was broken as if by an
electric shock, as the rich-toned voice
from white lips, syllabled forth, "Our
Father which art in heaven" etc.,
with pathos and fervid solemnlty
that thrilled all hearts. He finished.
The silence continued. Not a voice
was heard nor a muscle moved in his
astonished audience. until, from the
corner of the room a subdued sob
was heard, and the old gentleman

streaming eyes and tottering frame,

THE HOT WATER BAG.

When the india rubber hot water
bag is as inexpensive as it is at pres
ent, it becomes almost a duty to
possess Que. The water to ill them
is always attainable, and the COM
fort of the possession will amply re-
pay the expense. Frequently they
relieve pain in a far simpler and more
effectual manner than does any med
icine. A bag placed on the side OF
neuralgia face will cause the blood
to flow to that part and bring nour-
ishment to the starving nerve. A
fit Of indigestion NAV be overcome in
a similar manner. The weak heart
may be assisted by very scantily
filled bag being placed under the LETT
arm against the side. Then. again,
says a writer in Good Housekeeping,
carefully concealed in its dark col
ored bag, what comfortable
companion for a long, cold
country drive! Always soothing,
never contradictory. it is actually a
life saving machine.
