A new bridge to be erected over the Tennessee river at Knoxville, while not to be of unusual size, will be, the engi- neer in charge says, a wonder in the en- gineering and architectural world. It is to be built entirely of pink marble, quar- ried in Knox county and within few miles of the site. It will be 1900 feet long from tout to out" of abutments, and will be 240 feet long in the main spans of arch, which, it is claimed, is 20 feet longer than the longest arch in the world. It will rise at the crown of the channel spans 105 feet above the water, making it a de- cidedly imposing structure. It is to be solid marble bridge from side to side, with a 50 foot roadway over 100 feet above water,.with the four largest spans in the world. The immense arches will be 8 feet deep at the keystone, 15 feet at the skewbacks, or spring lines, and will spring from piers 30 feet high and 40 feet wide. The piers go to solid rock, the sub-structure limestone, 12 feet below the water surface at the bridge site. The arches and spandrel filling will be con- structed of concrete. The parapet walls will be constructed of sawed marble slabs, with heavy blocks on pilasters ev- cry 15 feet, projecting above the wall proper and giving what might be called semi-castellated effect.

Cured on the same terms. The treatment is painless. I perform all manner of surgical operations pertaining to my speciality, and through the influence of anesthetics cause no pain. This a boon to the afflicted.
 There are many complications follow ing Private Diseases, such as Bad Blood Skin, Bladder and Womb Troubles Ul- cers, Pimples, Blotches sore Mouth, etc.. all of which quickly get well when the cause is removed.
 I wish to call special attention to my treatment of unfortunates suffering from the effects of Early Imprudence, Errors of Youth, Loss of Vitality, Loss of Man hood, Sexual Debility, or any of the mad dening effects. Get we'll and be a man. Enjoy life as you should. Thousands of men and youths are occupying subordl- nate positions in life today who, If they were able to exercise their brain power to it's fullest capacity, would instead bs leaders.
 Tn majority of cases can cure my pa- tients by mail treatment. I can furnish medicines from my Dtspensary. or, as am a Regular Licensed Physician. can write them prescriptions. If they prefer they can have them prepared by their home druggist.
 If you live in or near the city, call at my Private Dispensary. If at distance. write me your trouble. My book on Pri- vate Diseases and proper question lists will be sent on application

specialist treats only a special or particular class of diseases. I have the distinction of being the only physician in the south controlling sufficient practice in Private Diseases to devote my whole time to their cure.
 This daily contact for year after year with such troubles gives experience. Ex- perience is essential to success
 My Medical Dispensary was established In the city of Birmingham August 3. 1887 for the exclusive cure of Private Dis eases. Privacy is one of It's special fea- lures. It is so arranged that one patient never necessarily sees another. People who have social relations to sustain ap- preciate this. The very. best people are often unfortunate and dislike to consult their family physician through feelings of delicacy. To them offer a safe sure cure and perfect privacy.

Cow Owners, AttentionI

To the State Herald.
 We had earnestly hoped that before God had again clothed the commons and our hillsides with sweet clover and other grasses so wholesome to our milk pro- ducers that the impecunious South High flanders who loved sweet flowers more than sweet milk would have gotten their fences and-gates in such condition as to protect their flowers. There are very few COWS that jump fences of a proper height or unfasten gates properly fas- tened. I have lived in that aristocratic part of great Birmingham about six years, and in a neighborhood where al- most everyone owned one or two cows, and my flowers have never been molest- ed. My fences are built properly and my gates are kept well latched, and my chrysanthemums are planted a sufficient distance from the fence, so that even the most educated, "up-to-date'' COW can't reach them. So I am able to enjoy my flowers and allow my neighbors to enjoy their cows.
 I note that the aesthetic residents on the hill who don't own cows are sub Scribing to fund to feed their neigh bors' cows during the summer while the grass Is abundant and green. 1 suppose this fund will be sufficiently large to feed them through the winter also. This would be a piece of philanthropy, but it would be expensive, and I would suggest to you poor COW owners that we assist tfl rdISlHS IHlS luIlu, pFONlueu tldL lll- stead of using it to feed the poor, dear cows," who unfortunately eat long and often and who prefer green grass to any feed, that 1t would be more economical to assist our friends who don't own cows to get their fences the proper height and to remove their chrysanthemum beds a sufficient distance from said fences.
 We believe by this plan we can enjoy both our flowers and our cows and save we busted aristocrats' money.
 Will the gentlemen on the opposing side meet delegate from the COW owners to arrange for the collection and distri- button of this fund?
