SOUTHERN ALABAMA.
1t Has Advantages For Homseekers
Possessed by No Other State.

Possessed by No Othcr state.
Ii YOU desire to make a change and
better yonr condition, move to-
Southern Alabama.
The object of this letter is to call
your attention to q true picture of the
sunny south land; the advantages
possessed by it to-day over all other
portions of the United States. Accord
ing TO the United States census report
for 1890 the south had 3,1S2. 900, 900
dollars invested in farms, and the
total productions were 773, 200, 900
dollars, or a gross revenue of "A per
cent. All other sections of the United
States combined had 1881 900, 900
dollars in farms, and their products
were / ,6s7, 000, 900 dollars, or ID per
cent, fraction more than one-half as
much by percentage as the productions
of the south. 1t is impossible to get
the exact profits, but these figures
show that for every dollar received by
northern farmers on the capital
invested by the southern farmer
received nearly two dollars to the
northern one, besides, in the south the
expense of living, fuel, clothing, etc,
will not cost you one-half as much. If
you want to better your condition, go
| to Southern Ala bama, the land of the
pear, peach, ounce, plum, tig. viDe,
| cotton and sugar cane. The finest
| fruits and vegetables grown on earth
| are successfully raised. The climate
| is as fine as that of California, and
| you do not have to irrigate; the rain
! fall is abundant and sufficient to
mature all crops and fruits in their
| greatest perfection.
/ Land in Southern Ala bama, along
the line of the Mobile 4 Ohio railroad.
can be had at S. per acre. on the most
favorable terms, in a country settled
by northern people, and 1T is much
cheaper to purchase a home in Ala bama
| than to take up homestead In the
! west, where you go without fruit, live
, in sod house, burn hay for fuel, and
| freeze to death. Hard pine lumber
can be had at the mills at the following
prices:
Fencing, per thousand, S. and So.
Boards, per thousand, 81 and SIS.
Flooring, per thousand, SIS and SO.
Shingles, per thousand, 81. IS and
S24
A word as to health: Catarrh,
! asthma. bronchial, and pulmonary
troubles are almost unknown, and II
you are afflicted with any OF these
diseases you are sure to be greatly
benefited, and in the end you can
look forward to perfect cure. No
fevers, no ague, and no malaria, but
plenty of good piney wood air.
Statistics taken from the United
States census of 1870 show the amount
of rainfall, the maximum and minimum
temperature, and health as compared
with other states, what they grow and
how they grow it. For information as
to the expenses of trip to investigate
for yourself, or to excursion rates
together with much other valuable
information in regard to the sunny
south land, send for pamphlet show
ing the advantage of locating in the
south over other portions OF the
United States. Address, A. 5. VIZ

bought Her Grave md Died.

One OF the most pathetic cases OF
suicide which has been recorded in
some time occurred in Brookline, Mass,
the other day. While passing through
an out-of-the-way portion Of Hollywood
cemetery. Brookline citizen stumbled
against the body of woman. In the
dress was a bottle Of morphine tablets.
Medical experts declared that she died
from morphine poisoning and that 1t
was undoubtedly a case of cuicide. In
a large wallet in her pocket was found
the deed of lot in the cemetery. II
was made out to Margaret Flynn
There was also receipt which showed
she had paid s33 for the lot the same
day. Nobody knew who the woman
was. The suicide was evidently very
deliberate. The grave she had paid fol
was dug for the lonely woman and she
was laid at rest in the spot she had Sc
lected.

Fat Variations.

Denver FIELD and Farm:-In natural
milk small amount of albumen Is
present, but in colostrum the amount
of albumen often exceeds the amount
Of casein. and these two constituents
may form over Is per cent of the milk.
The percentage of sugar In colostrum
is usually low; the fat is normal. The
composition of colostrum changes rap
idly, and within a few days after the
birth of the calf natural milk Is given
After this the percentage OF fat In
the milk of any cow varies more OF
less from day to day, even II her feed,
care and general treatment are always
alike. The causes of the sudden
changes are not always known; in fact
the fat often seems to increase or de-
crease without any cause. Sometimes
the fat content changes over 80 per
cent within twenty-four hours. AS the
period of lactation progresses there is
a tendency to gradually increase in the
total solids, and the physical condition
of the milk is so altered that the cream
rises less easily.

Her Friend WAS a Ihief.

When Miss Amy Steele faced burg
lar who entered her fathers residence
at Green Center, N. Y, she recognized
a former friend, whose name she will
not reveal and allowed him to escape.
The burglar entered the cellar and
made his way into the dining room.
when the farmers two daughters were
awakened by the noise. Miss Amy
Steele. % years old, took her fathers
revolver and went downstairs. She
was about to fire when his face was re-
vealed and she recognized a friend Of
former years. Miss Steele. who made
the acquaintance Of the man and re-
ceived his attentions while residing in
another part of the state several years
ago, refuses to reveal his same. She
says he was then a highly respectable
and honorable man, and she believes
he has been driven through poverty 20

Tuberculosis IL Bircs.

Poultry people are evidently to have
their share in the tuberculosis sensa-
ton. At a recent meeting OF the U.
s. Veterinary Medical Association at
Buffalo, N. Y, there was paper by
DR.. d. 4. Salmon Of the U. S. Bureau
Of Animal Industry which treated prin-
cipally on tuberculosis in Birds, and
was pronounced one of the most conf
plete and interesting ever prepared on
the subject. He quoted many foreign
authorities and said the disease was
transmissable from bird to man and
vice versa. The identity of avian and
human tuberculosis Is we'll demonstrat-
ed by Koch and other eminent inyestt-
gators. Parrots are very prone to con-
tract the disease, and 1t early affects
Polly's speech. Parrots are easily af-
fected with human tuberculosis. and a
parrot so affected Is constant men
ace to the people in the same house.
He said the proper treatment Is to
annihilate all diseased birds, chickens,
ETC., the disinfection of yards, feeding
and drinking places. ETC., and advised
that human consumptiyes be kept
away from poultry yards. DR.. Knowles
said that the poultry business in Amer
lea is greater in value than the beef
and pork trade. DR.. r. P. Lyman OF
Hartford, Conn, thought the paper
should be promptly circulated among
veterinarians and poulterers.

She spoke to the Jury.

There was laughter such as even
comic opera never evoked in the court
of special sessions in New York the
other day. The young woman who
was the cause had never been in a
court of justice prior TO her appearance
as a witness. She took a position with
her back to the jury and began telling
her story to the court. The justice said
to her: please speak to the jury, miss;
the men sitting behind you on the
benches" The witness at once turned
around, says the New York Times
story, and. making polite bow to the
Jury. said, with perfect gravity, Good

A Brooklyn woman whose taste for
peculiar things has been we'll de-
veloped, now wears a human skull as
a bonnet. She Is proud of her curious
bonnet chiefly because it Is unique, and
the consciousness that it cannot be

husband a well-known physician OF
the City Of Churches. brought home a
