J. P. MUDD.
Dealer in Stocks and Bonds.

Investors who are prepared to handle gilt-edge securities of whatever kind on the various properties of northern Ala bama should negotiate with Mr J. P. Mudd of this city, whose reliability is too well known to admit of question. He opened his present business here in 1885 and enjoys the distinction of being the first stock broker who opened business and who has continued to confine himself to that line in Birmingham.
 The ten years subsequent have been eventful ones In making the development of the Birmingham district, and MT. Mudd has been instrumental in doing his share He has acquired a leading pres tige as a business man and citizen and enjoys the public confidence in an excep- donal degree.
 He began his experience in the banking house of T. l.. Hudgins after his gradua- ton from the University of Alabama. He has served as chairman of the finance committee of the board of aldermen in 1888, and in 1893 was appointed to mem bership on the police commission and was elected chairman of that body, serv- ing until the first of the current year.

well won aurels, but it at once began to build here to donate there, until it has become identified with almost every inst tuition in the city Real estate activity has continued dull to the present time, but the company has been active. It has not lost confidence in the city, but it can see in the unequaled resources of this sec ton the development that is sure to come. It looks forward confidently to the time when Birmingham will be the acknoWl- edged center of the iron production ana manufacture of the world, as 1t is now one of the leading competitors in the field for its manufacture. The work 1t mas al- ready done can scarcely be over-estima- ted. It comes as near to being dlslnter- ested in it's work for the city as a private corporation could, and the career of un- seldshness it has pursued wins the favor able commendation of the disinterested onlooker.
 The company continues the policy that has made it such potent factor Tn the growth and prosperity of Birmingham. To those seeking a home or the location for some enterprise or industry, it has offered eligible sites on terms suited to all conditions and purposes. Any legitimate enterprise is promptly recognized, and every facility consistent with sound bus1- ness practice will be afforded those seek ing field for industrial activity. In the matter of real estate prices, the company adheres to the principle that property is worth whatever the actual growth, busi- ness and population will warrnat. Who- ever desires to buy now is not reminded of what the property was worth at such and such a time, nor of what it will be worth if such and such contingency may arise in the future. Everything is considered on the stable basis of existing conditions While disposed to be liberal to the extent of encouraging all who would wish to become part and parcel of nt1f. fn hn more satisfactory results can be attained by plan of cooperative action than by out and out gifts of sites for any purpose. In the early history of the city gratuities were necessary, but the wide distribution of property and public interests obviates the necessity for any single corporation to assume the whole weight of respons- bllity in advancing local interests. The present holdings of the Elyton Land com pany embrace thousands of lots in all parts of the city, so situated as to suit the convenience and appeal to the necessities of all people, either for homes, manufact- uring enterprises or anything else re- quired. For manufacturing there are many very desirable sites, open on ad- Vantageous terms.
 The official directorate now having the business of the company in charge are the following gentlemen, all of whom are thoroughly identified with the best inter estS of Birmingham: President J. K. Me- Donald; Secretary and Treasurer L. P. Worl; General Counsel A. T. London; chairman of the executive committee, r. M. Billing.
 In addition to these gentlemen the board of directors is made up of B. J. Baldwin, Boiling Hall and Jas, T. Wood ward.
 Any information concerning Birming- ham will be cheerfully given upon appli- cation to the company in person or by let ter.

AMERICAN NEWSPAPER UNION,
Auxiliary Publishers and Newspaper Press Work-2S29 and 2231 Avenue A.
 Birmingham, Ala,

This well-known establishment Is fine ly equipped for printing all standard sizes of newspapers, in part or complete, and no order Is too small or too large for them to handle, Their four large power presses and complete stereotyping plants are kept running to their utmost capaci- ty in order to meet the growing demand, and the manager, MT. W. N. Kant, who has had many years experience in the business and thoroughly understands the needs of publishers, Is about to place large order for new material, which will further improve their service, if such thing Is possible.
 Their sheets are the acme of typo graphical neatness they are made up of reading matter that is interesting and timely; they are thoroughly well printed on good paper. By the use of these ready-prints the cost of composition, press work and makeup is materially re- duced and the editor is enabled to de- vote more time to cultivating his con- stituency. Parties who are contemplat- ing publishing papers and publishers who are now printing all at home, cannot do better than write the American Newspa- per Union and ascertain the many ad- vantages to be derived from the adoption of their system.

EVERY HUMAN ORGAN
Is Subject to catarrh-So Dr.. Hartman Says in
 Recent Lecture at the Surgical Hotel.

No part or organ of the human body is secure from catarrh. Every organ is liable to be affected by 1t. Catarrh goes everywhere, stops nowhere. It spreads and spreads, and, if not cured. pervades the whole body. It never stops when once it gets started, unless cured. Below is given a list of the organs more com- monly affected by catarrh, with the most prominent symptoms caused by it..
 Catarrh of the head and frontal sinus, headache; catarrh of eyes, watery eyes; catarrh of nose. discharge and scabs; catarrh of throat, hawking and painful swallowing; catarrh, of larynx, hoarse- ness; catarrh of stomach, dyspepsia; catarrh of bronchial tubes, cough and soreness; catarrh of lungs, consumption; catarrh of liver, biliousness; catarrh of the duodenum. wasting; catarrh of the small intestines, constipation; catarrh of large intestines, diarrhoea; catarrh of kidneys, Bright's disease; catarrh of bladder, smartfng, scalding: catarrh of pelvic organs, urinary and female diff culties.
 Pe-ru-na cures catarrh wherever To- cated Pe-ru-na is a systematic medi- cine and does not depend upon local ap- plications for cure, Pe-ru-na cures permanently It gradually eliminates the disease from the system and removes the symptoms by removing the cause of the disease. Every one having any of the above symptoms should take a thof ouef course of Pe-ru-na.
 Dr. Hartman's latest book on chronic catarrh Is a sixty-four page book. in- structively illustrated. It Is now being sent free by the Pe-ru-na Drug Manufac- turing company of Columbus. O.

THE FIRST SETTLEMENT.
It Was Made Solely for Agricultural Pur-
 poses,

Jones' valley, in which Birmingham fs located, was settled many years before the war. The town of Elyton, now a suburb of Birmingham, was the county seat. This town was named for MT Ely of Connecticut, who was sent down to se- lect public lands that had been donated to some eleemosynary institution. MT. Ely selected the lands in Jones' valley. It was the most lovely, the most fertile. the best watered and the best timbered tract that he could find He selected it purely for its agricultural advantages and had no thought of the immense min eral wealth that lay beneath it's surface He was followed by several lady school teachers from the north. who gave an in- tellectual turn to the inhabitants of the valley. These teachers married southern men. and their descendants now live here. The larger part of the first set tiers came from South Carolina and were connected with the best families of that state. They were the Earles, Tim mons, McMillions, Martins and others They found in Jones' valley a broken, well-watered country, such as they had left behind. It Is characteristic of im- migrants that they usually move to a country similar to the one they have left. If they are accustomed to a tim bered country they will not locate on the prairies. These pioneers selected Jones' valley in preference to the prairie land of the southern part of the state They spread along the valley and erected those Old-fashioned southern mansions that can now be seen. These pioneers were of good stock and their descendants hold their own against the best blood and brain of the country that has flocked to BrminghaN. Like the unknown knight, they entered the lists and chal- lenged all corners.

Fruit Growing and Winery association mas undertaken work that is so broad in scope, practical in purpose and con- ducted on such sound business principles that the largest measure of success is certain
 In selecting the scene of their opera tlons, the promoters of this enterprise ex- ercised the most thorough care based on extensive observation and careful inyes- tigation. The association has 20 900 acres of land, situated on a plateau with an average elevation of 1000 feet above sea level The soil can be described as a sandy, gravelly loam, usually colored dark at the surface with decayed vegeta- tion, having a depth of from 3 to 12 inches, and resting upon a slightly sili- clous red or yellow clay subsoil with which 1t rapidly assimilates upon culti- vation. This top soil sometimes gives way to highly silicious friable red clay Which IS strong and productive. The composition of these soils has been shown by repeated analysis to be peculiarly adapted to impart the highest and sprightllest Havors, not only to grapes, but to many other fruits as we'll
 The city of Fruithurst covers 500 acres. and has been laid out with broad avenues and attractive parks, making it a beauti- ful picture of homes surrounded on all sides by vineyards and orchards From the railroad station on the Southern rail- way pTOdu avenue IeaQS up a gentle slope to the Fruithurst Inn, a handsome hotel of fifty rooms, from the verandas Of which one has an inspiring view of ter raced slopes planted to vines which can trace their percentage to some of the most famous vineyards of the world On the slope south of the town site proper are the experimental gardens, where every variety of fruit tree, vine and ber- ry that will grow in this climate will be tested Particular attention is given to grapes. as the association is acting on the purpose to make the production of tabel and wine grapes here a notable suc- cess. And to this end the very choicest grown have been selected for the vfne- yards thus far planted. Although Fruit hurst counts its age by months rather than years, the growth attained is most gratifying evidence of the original plan and liberal policy of its founders. As showing this few figures, which do not lie, speak volumes for the future. From May, 1895, to January 1, 1896, there were fifty-six buildings finished; twenty are under construction, and plans are made for forty-five more. From October to January 70S acres were cleared for planting. During the year 1895 the asso- citation sold 502 ten-acre tracts to pur- chasers whc have or will become actual residents of this model fruit colony of the new south Nearly every day adds another name to the long list of content ed people who unanimously agree that Fruithurst is the gem of the south and the Alabama Fruit Growing and Winery

association the most enterprising, relia-
 Die and progressive organization ever formed for any purpose.
 To those who may be interested in Se- curing home at Fruithurst some in- formation about the methods of the aS- soctation is in order at this point. The tracts are supaIvided into ten acres each and are sold 1t prices ranging from $350 to $500 each, according to location. The payments are governed somewhat by the prices. On tracts costing from $500 to $500 the first payment is $100 $50 In one month and $15 each month therafter, without interest. On each tract two acres are cleared and planted to a stand ard variety of grapes by the association. It will cost to clear-and plant the addi- tional eight acres abo1t~$ $265. The vine- yards and orchards of all the settlers are under the personal supervision of a su- eprintendent, whose experience covers
 twenty years, and for the benefit of whose advice the owner of a vineyard has no extra expense. When vineyards are in bearing the association takes the entire crop and packs and ships it, giving the grower the highest cash price possi- ble to secure by having his product ham dled with the combined output of a large number of growers. In a word, the Fruit hurst plan is cooperation The buyer of a tract gets all the benefits of a corpora ton with large capital and practical eX- perience in purchasing and planting, and on the other hand. the no less important advantage of organized effort in hand ling the crop produced. The association has extensive nurseries and proposes to carefully guard the selection of only such class of fruit as shall bring the best re- suits. The writer has had the opportuni- ty to examine many schemes for coloniza- tion, particularly where fruit growing was the leading industry to be followed, but after ten years observation and ex- perience he does not hesitate to say that Fruithurst comes the nearest to an ideal plan yet witnessed. It means that in un- ion is strength, and in this case, the full privileges accorded those who unite to a lain unt nnlN Iarnsnarit1r hui ha mi
