Good Luck to the Pickaninnies.

Fuskaloosa Gazette.
 The passengers on the dummy were treated to an amusing sight yesterday morning As the dummy came up from the station one-horse wagon filled with watermelons was standing at one of the little houses back of MT. Friendman s. The festive steed became alarmed at the approach of the pulling engine, and, needless of the cries of the charioteer, who was on the ground, tore down the sidewalk at a 2:40 gait. The sidewalk along there will scarcely rival ball room floor in smoothness and the wagon bumped tremendously. At.every bump the watermelons rose and bounced about like rubber balls-it was awe-inspiring. Finally the horse turned and cleared the dummy track with a bound and pro- ceeded westward. The bouncing melons couldn't get back to theiI~places in time and the wagon couldn't wait, so they went to the ground with sounding thump, or, rather, a succession of thumps. Most of them sustained com pound fracture of the rlnd and 1t was a rare sight to see the colored population of that vicinity rushing joyously to the scene of the disaster to secure the broken prizes. It's an i'll wind that blows no- body any good, sandtthose numerous lit tle pickaninnies doubtless offered up many thanks because that horse ran away. 'ts--. l.

TIRED OUT.
A Common Condition Among American
 Women.


 Women, especially housekeepers, are subject to a condition of body very fitly expressed as chronic tired" It is not always because they are overworked, or because they have any distinct disease, nor yet because they do not take proper care of themselves, but doubtless each one of these causes contributes to the result Some chronic difficulty peculiar to their sex, perhaps not very bad but just enough to produce a continual nerve waste. This units them for the duties of the household which they must attend to. Too tired to eat well, too nervous to sleep well, they get deeper and deeper into the quagmire of Encouragement.
 Pe-ru-na is the remedy all such people need. It takes only few doses to con vince any woman that she has found ex- actly the remedy. It soothes the nerves while it strengthens them; it increases the appetite while it improves digestion; it gives tone and elasticity to the circula- tion Dscouragements vanish, despond- ency ceases. Thousands are saying, "Pe- ru-na has made a new woman of me" {" It is only necessary to take Pe-ru-na ex- actly as directed on the bottle. Such women may have copy of Dr. Hart mans little book on diseases peculiar to women. Sent free by Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing company, Columbus. O.. This book contains much information en- tireIy new to most people.
 Those who prefer to become regular patients of Dr. Hartman should send symptoms. duration of sickness and kind of treat atment already received, when the doctor will send them directions for treat ment free of charge. All letters strictly confidential

STRIKE AT ANNIsToN.
Puddlers, Heaters and Rollers of Car Com-
 pany's Plant Are Out.


 Anniston, July 1S.-(Special) )-About 300 men at the United States Car com pany's big plant are out as result of strike by the pudders, heaters and roll CTS of the rolling mill department. The trouble has been brewing since the 1st Of the month. A new scale was agreed to, but the company, while promising to pay it. declined to sign it for any, definite length of time. This is one of the griev- ances of the men, and another is that per cent of their wages is held backin the office as an insurance fund. All at tempts to settle the matter have so Tar failed and the company officials announce that Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers are henceforth barred from the mill. The force will doubtless be reorganized right away, but in the meantime the company has telegrapned cancellations of orders of about 1000 tons of bar iron, which were wanted for inn mediate delivery.
