acting as Steyenson's secretary Mrs
Strong put down bits OF conve, sation,
characteristic epgrams. jest, or serious

are therefore the authentic record Of
Stevenson's everyday life by one who had

from photographs in the family albums
which give an equally veracious portrait

OF the anecdotes Will pass into Stevenson

Malaria.

There are numerous diseases having
their origin in the blood, but which on
the surface do not appear to be blood
disease. Such is Malaria, which is .
poison breathed into the lungs, and thus
taken into the blood and circulated, inn
buing the entire system with its morbid
effects. Those who have suffered from
this dreaded disease know what a life
less condition ensues and how the vitality
is wasted away so that death is often
caused by some simple malady, because
of the low ebb to which life is reduced
by this poverty of blood. This condi-
ton of the blood often gives rise to
boils, carbuncles, abscesses and ulcers,
and not infrequently causes catarrh,
bronchitis, and even consumption.
Captain Henry Bond, late of the o. 5.
Navy, has been sea-faring man all his
life, and has been in all parts of the
world, having sailed twice around the
Cape of Good Hope, once around Cape
Horn and three times through the Suez
Canal. Captain Bond resides at the Ma
tional Military Home, Dayton, Ohio, and
in recent letter says: "For thirty-two
years have been a sufferer from ma
iaria, and certainly know what this terri
bic disease is. have tried remedies IN

Measles Invade the Town-For Johnston in
 1894 and Have Not Changed.

Lincoln, Feb. 11.-(Special Jour town has just commenced its struggle with the measles, and we expect to have the usual supply of cases.
 MT. T. J. Hasset, the excellent gentle man who looks after the interests of the American Book company in this state, was in Lincoln yesterday evening, and Miss F. B. Mcclellan, a sister of Betsy Hamilton" declared that he was Senator Morgan.
 Our farmers are not buying as much corn as usual.
 The Coosa river is quite high, and was still rising yesterday evening. Just here we would like to say that our people are very anxious for this stream to have a better showing in the next river and harbor appropriation bill Lock has been expensive on account of quicksands and springs in the river bed, but there is cement enough on hand to overcome this apparent defect in nature, and all We need is large appropriation.
 There are some good men here for Clarke, but the majority of our demo- crats are for Johnston. They were for Johnston in the last election, and none of them have changed, so you can count beat 1 of Talladega county for Johnston.

Politics Warming Up in Henry-A Close
 Fight, but Johnston Will Win.

Politics Warming Up in Henry-A Close
 Fight, but Johnston Will Win.
 Abbevllle, Feb. 11.-(Special) )-Politics Is the great question that IS now agitat- ing the minds of our people. Some are criticisfng the action of the executive committee for permitting the third party people to take part in the primaries, while a great many others indorse 1t. The names of Johnston and Clarke are heard on every street corner and at every cross-road, and the creeds and principles which they advocate are being discussed at every fireside in the county.
 I believe this will be the most closely contested contested campaign in the his tory of Henry county. The people are reading and thinking for themselves and will not be misled by the demagogue and the politician.
 The Johnston and the Clarke men both claim this county. The executive com mittee will meet at Headland on the 18th instant to determine the number of dele gates for each beat and select a place for the county convention.
 According to the vote in the last elec- ton, we will have 80 votes in the county convention.
 Yesterday a prominent Johnston man showed me carefully prepared estimate that gave Johnston AS delegates, ma jority of 16, while few minutes later Clarke man showed list that gave Clarke 45, a ma jority of 10. Abbeville beat will probably go for Johston. though the Clarke men claim it.
 There will be a scramble for the county offices, but this to a>great extent will be overshadowed by the battle between the two leaders. A great deal depends upon the third party people. If they attend the primaries to any considerable extent (and some wilD Johnston will win. The Johnston men, however, ella i'm the county without any assistance from the third party.
 The friends of Hon. John B. Ward are pushing his claims with energy and Vigor for commissioner of agriculture. MT. Ward has served three terms in the legis- lature, not only with credit to his county. being chairman of the committee on ag- riculture. He is one of the most scien- tific farmers in the state and has made it a success both theoretically and prac- tically. Broad -minded, conservative and above all. true democrat, he has fought the battles of his party with such patri- otic ardor and zeal as has always insured its success. MT. Ward is peculiarly fitted for commissioner of agriculture, and the democratic party of Alabama would hon or itself fin nominating him for this office.
 Hon. z. E. Williams of Dothan will be a candidate for reelection to the legisla- lure from the lower end of the county. The friends of MT. w. O. Long are urging him to make the race from the upper end.
 Abbeville is noted for it's fine stock of all kinds. The largest hogs in the state are raised here. Several have been killed that weighed from 800 to 600 pounds.
 Mir Tuck Kirkland has Jersey red hog that will weigh over 750 pounds net which he will kill in a few days. Last year MT. William Hutto killed one that weighed S46 pounds.

Marion County Almost Practically Solid
 Johnston.

Johnston.
 Guin, Feb. 11.-(Special)-I attended circuit court at Hamilton last week. had a good opportunity to find out the feeling of the people as to their choice for governor in the coming primary. AS I know everybody in the county, and know whom to rely on for information, found from leading democrats, and those in a position to know that Captain John ston is practically solid in this county, with but little opposition, and with the one receiving the highest number of votes in the primary election to have the solid delegation, there is no question but that Captain Johnston will get the solid delegation from this county.
 After protracted spell of rain, we are having some sunshine. The farmers are procuring their outfits of farming i'm plements. preparatory to making crop. There is being a large amount of guano sold at this place.
 From the amount of guano being sold and from the best informa tion I can gather from the fanners. the acreage of cotton in this section will be greatly increased over last year.

 Work will commence on the buildings as early perhaps as April 1.
 The location of this property is the be- ginning of a new era in our industrial advancement, and it's success, which. with the natural advantages surrounding it, cannot be questioned, will be the means of attracting many similar enter prises to our favored section.

 MT. J. J. Clapp, representing the State Herald, is here. He is a gentleman of pleasant address and prepossessing ap- pearance. l am gratified to know that his visit is a successful one and that he finds his paper in high favor here.

The Normal College the Recipient ot Sec
 ond Important Donation.
 Florence, Feb. 11.-(Special)-The pu- pills of the Normal college in the depart ment of physical culture, through Mrs. Mann, the directress, raised funds and purchased from the Wheeler Rifles the outfit belonging to the gymnasium of the company. Later at chapel exercises they presented the same to the college through the same agency. MT Powers. on behalf of the college, accepted the property and expressed the hope that at no distant day a suitable building may be provided.
 The outfit comprised a set of parallel bars, an acting pole and equipments, a spring board and equipments, couple Of hair mattresses and striking bag. The property is all in fine condition, and con astitutes valuable addition to the phys ical apparatus of the institution.
 This is the second important donation the normal college has received durlng the year. The first has not been noticed in the press for special reasons, but 1t was of very great value, and it's influence will be felt for a great many years.
 These donations are highly valued TOT the good they will do. They are stlii more highly valued as expressions Of the interest the donors feel in the college, as well as indications of the appreciatloh in which the work of the institution IS held. No institution without ctrong hold on the public attracts to ltseil sueh faVOrS.
