Catarrt cannot be cured by local appli-
cations. II is a constitutional disease,
and requires a constitutional remedy
like Hoods Sarsaparilla. which, working
through the blood, eradicates the iai-
purity which causes and promotes the
disease, and soon effects a permanent
cure At the same time Hoods Sarsa-
parilla builds Up the whole system.

and the directors of the company over the ground, outlining to them where the buildings would come, and explaining to them how badly they were needed.
 President Smith conceded and so did the directors, that improvements ought to be made at once.
 We feel confident that if business con- tnues to improve, as it has commenced to do, that. these improvements will soon be made.
 It will be readily seen that more capaci- ty means more men to do the work, and that means more money for the mer- cha nts of the Decaturs.
 The very fact that these high officials and distinguished gentlemen took the time and pains to look into it in detail is very significant data to our mind that the improvements will be made in the near future.s
 Yesterday might have been termed cot ton day in the Decaturs. Several hun dred bales of cotton were purchased on Bank street by cur dealers. Up to 12 o'clock. each of the dealers had up to near a hundred bales, and several hundred bales were unloaded at the wharf from river, points, Not less than $15,000 worth of cotton has been received at Bank street during the past three or four days

Citizens Pleased With Pettus.-Chancel-
 Tor Taylor Sick.-Other News
 Carrollton, Nov. 2O-(speclal Corres- poudence.} .}-The people of this county are well r,leased with the selection made by the democratic caucus of General E. w. Pettus as candidate for the senate of the United States. They preferred Hon. Vim. (, Oates, but the democrats of Pick ems are willing to abide by the action of a majority of the party. They lett their representative, Col. M. l.. Stansel, free 10 act as he saw proper, and all pe1 lieve that he did the best that could have been done for the welfare Of the state under the circumstances.
 II is reported that Hon. W. H. Tayloe, the chancellor of this division, is sick so much so that he has not been able to hold his courts. The law Is now such that a special chancellor can be appoint ed, as was done in Pickens, so that no inconvenience can result from the ill- ness of the presiding officer.
 It is generally believed in this county that there is no necessity for constitu- tional convention in Alabama. The ten ure of the offices of judges, legislators and justices of the supreme court was duly considered when the present system was adopted and it is believed that it will be retained in the event another body is called together to consider the suggestions of Governor Oates.
 An old merchant in this county states that Alabama needs new system of banking SO that the people can have currency good in New York or Calves ton. in the event the 10 per cent on state banks is removed. He says that he is opposed to the issuance of bank notes that depreciate in value the greater as they recede from the parent institution which put them in circulation.
 The frequent visits of drummers show that the trade of this county is improv- ing. The low river and want of railroads are important factors in driving much business to the towns beyond it's borders. At one time all the cotton of Pickens was shipped to Mobile, and it required six months to market that product of this section. The whole amount of ad- vances was then made by dealers on a credit to farmers. This state of affairs has been reversed by new methods of transportation, and the planters, ten- ants and parties engaged in selling goods have been injured.
 The telephone line will be extended from Reform to Kennedy The former is now a thriving village with many advantages as to schools, mills and churches.
 The people of Tuskaloosa state that work will soon begin on the railroad that has been surveyed from that place to Columbus, Miss, thus giving Pickens the long-eNpected line of railroad.

The Governor Offers $500 Reward for
 Jim Glover--District School Closed.
 Columbia, Nov. 19.-(Special Core spondence)--A negro giving his name as Henry Williams was arrested last "Wednesday by R. M. Davis at his tur- pentine stin on suspicion of his being Lum Warren. The negro answered the description very accurately and was placed in the caaboose while message was sent to Cuthbert, Ga, for some one to come and identify him. Friday night MT, Bass, husband of the lady whom. Warren is charged with assaulting, came to Columbia, and, after viewing the ne gro, pronounced him to be the wrong man. much to his delight, but to the dis appointment of MT. Bass, and also of Mr. Davis who thought he had the big reward in sight.
 Montgomery. Nov g, 1896. MT B F. Reid, Columbia, Ala:
 Dear Sir: I have the honor to inform you that the Governor has offered re- ward of $500 for the arrest and convic- tion of Jim Glover. Very respectfully,
 ". J. MAIDEN. Private Secretary
 Glover is the negro who is charged with the murder of a negro woman at the Davis still some time ago. He skipped out and has not been found His wife is also implicated and is in custody.
 Columbia district school closed Monday at noon. The school opened with about thirty pupils, and this number was in- creased to about fifty: but last week this attendance began to drop off. and nearly a dozen pupils quit in one day. This was followed by many others leaving, until Monday noon there were but fifteen, There appears to be difference Of opln- ion as to the cause. The scholars gem orally give as a reason that they were not learning anything. Whose fault this was is not explained.

Work on the River Lock Has Been Dis
 continued.
 Wetumpka, Nov. 20.-(Special Corre- spondence. .)-The discontinuance of work on the river lock at this place has been source of regret to every citizen of We tumpka. It was largely by the efforts of some of our influential citizens that the last appropriation was made for the work here, and it does not appear just or right that the work should have been stopped. Strong efforts are being made we are informed by Mr. Mahan at Mont gomery to use the money in making an- other survey of the river instead of using the money in completing the lock at this place, and on account of that work was stopped. It looks very foolish to stop the work here when it was so well under headway. There has already been one survey of the upper river made and we cannot see the whyness of making an other when 1t is not likely that any per manent work will be done on 1t for many years. Our citizens should themselves get the work here completed.

bodied in Paine's celery compound the most progressive, yet thoroughly estab- lished, views on the cure of diseases Of nervous origin.
 fe All of the imitators OF Paine's celery pompound-every one knows how many there are-have proved to be, entirely wide of the mark. Their promises of astonishing curative abilities are easily made on paper; but they are not kept.
 It is easy to verify every claim made by Paines celery compound. There is no village so small but it contains fami lies in which this wonderful remedy has made some member well. Men who weigh their words and are careful what they write above their signatures have pub licly given this great invigorator it's de- Served credit for health-naking powers such as no other remedy ever received.

 Mrs. R. R. Pratt, of Centre Brook, Conn.,. whose portrait is given here, says plainly:
 II find Paine's celery compound per- feet medicine. I took several bottles for general debility, and 1t did for me all could ask. It made me well. I have recommended it to my friends, and they all speak in its praise"
 Paines celery compound is the most assured and direct means of getting back full store of vitality. It is true nerve regulator. It exterminates all vicious humors that finger in the blood. It cures rheumatism. and is used by physicians as a specific for this disease.

There are very intelligent men and wo- men who still prefer open fires to steam pipes and furnaces.
 But only a very shallow minded persGn would deliberately choose an old-fash- toned remedy in case of sickness.
 Suffers from neuralgia, rheumatism or kidney trouble want the surest and most advanced remedy science can give them Getting we'll is not matter of sentiment but the most seriously practical matter. That is why the most thoughtful and conservative people now use Paine's eel cry compound, and recommend it to friends and relatives who are threatened or afflicted with nervous exhaustion, sleeplessness,' adisordered liver or blood diseases. tasfenS seE

"I was attacked with rheumatic fever in it's worst form. I employed the best physicians. but received no permanent relief. When I commenced to take Paine's celery compound my feet and hands were swollen so badly that they were useless.

A New Way of Raising Missionary
 Money.


 Columbiana, Nov. 19.-tSpecial Core spondence )-~rhe first bale of cotton ever sold in shelby, the proceeds ofwhch went to the missionary cause, was sold in Co., lumbiana last week. The bale was raised and donated by D. M. Smith, Pickens Miner. J. P. HarlSins and z. c. Crowson. of beat g. and turned over to Rev J. w. Cary, pastor in charge or Wilsonville circuit, and by him sold to I. D. Mason for z cents.
 This is a new way of raising mission ary money. but a good one. We believe that if our country churches would adopt a similar plan of raising all their church assessments they would find it would work well and give general satisfaction. It gives every member of the family even the children--a chance to help along the cause by working in the church patch. Brother Cary Is to be congratu- lated on the success of his plan of rais- ing missionary funds.
