 Decatur. Nov 9.-One of the most im- portant cases which came up at this term of the circuit court was the case of the heirs of Tom Lynch vs. Morgan county for s1OoOO damages for the drowning of Lynch last fall.
 It is alleged that Lynchs drowning was caused by the high water at the bridge on the Cour'tland road crossing at Dry Creek having weakened the levee built up to the bridge. Lynch was driving to Decatur and when he reachs cd the levee his wagon wheels slipped and he fell into the current. The case has created much interest and the public were disappointed when Judge Speake continued the case on account of one of the jurors disa bility, caused by falling down the cellar steps.
 Hhe case of George Haley vs the Louisville and Nashville railroad for $50000 damages for the killing of his son last November at Moulton street cross- ing, has been compromised by the attor- neys (Haley consenting) in the sum of $1,750 and a guarantee of lifetime em- ployment
 The mortality report for the month of October, shows only one death among all races The one death reported was that of B. M Collier on the afternoon of the last day of the month. The in- firmfties of old age was largely condu- cive to his death.

SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
A Simple, Harmless Remedy, Yet It Cures the
 Worst Cases of Dyspepsia and Indigestion.

Dr. Jennison, who has made a life study of stomach troubles says: All forms of indigestion really amount to the same thing, that is, failure to com pletelys digest the food eaten; no matter
 whether the trouble is acid dyspepsia
 or sour stomach, belching of wind, nerv- cue dyspepsia or loss of flesh and ap- petite; a person will not have any of them If the stomach can be induced by any natural, harmless way to thorough ly digest what is eaten, and this can be done by simple remedy which I have tested in hundreds of aggravated eases with complete success. The remedy is a combination of fruit and vegetable es- sencss pure aseptic pepsin and golden seal put up in the form of pleasant tast- ing tablets and sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 One or two of these tablets should be
 taken after meals and allowed to dis
 solve in the mouth and mingling with the food in the stomach digests it com pletely before it has time to ferment, decay and sour.
 On actual experiment one grain of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest | three thousand grains of meat, eggs and p similar wholesome foods.
 It is safe to say if this wholesome rem
 edy was better known, by people gen
 orally, 1t would be a national blessing,
 as we are a nation of dyspeptics and
 nine-tenths of all diseases owe their ori- gin to imperfect digestion and nutri- fion.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are not secret patent medicine but a 50 cent package will do more real good for weak stomach than $50 worth of patent medicines and a person has the satisfac- tion of knowing just what he is putting into his stomach, which he does not know, when widely advertised patent medicines are used.
 All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, full sized packages 50 cents.

We, the members of tha Equftab ble Plumbing company, wish the pubic to distinctly undeIstand that we are rof members of the Master Plumbers as- sociation, ("for the prevention of dis easa''), and are in no way identified With those who are complaining because, for- socth, the inspector inforce5 the ol-- dinances of the great city of Birming- ham contrary to the w.shes and demands of the great Mast;r Plumbers asSocia- ton ('for the prevention of d.s'sase"), of said city. We have no sympathy with this nor any other movement that has for its object the placing of a. practical plumber" in charge of the impoE tant work of thoroughly comp tent sanitary engineer. We are heartily in favor of thorough enforcement of the laws ac- cording to their striotest interpretation.
 As to being in sympathy With any movement or organization for th= pur- pose OF strangling legitimate competi- tion so that the public may be robbed; the very reverse is true. The fact is, the Equgtabl= Plumbing company is an Independent concern, with ample fa- cilitieS for executing all kinds of plumb ing contra cts in the most thorough and economical manner" It was organized by some of the most prominent men in this city for tha very purpose of reducing and keeTrng within the bounds of justice the prices of plumbing work. The pro- motors believed that the citizens of Bir- mingEam would appreciate the value of such an institution and give it thefr hearty support and patronage. The large business we have done since our openfng-two months ago-and the class of patronage we now have is conclusive evidencs of thetr good Judgment.
 We are putting in, perhaps, the most complete system of p.lmbling in the city in the residence of Col. A. T. Jones, on the South Highlands; we ara plumb ing two residences of Gen. b. w. Rucl1sG, three for MT. C. A. MountJoy, the hand some residence of Dr. U. s. Gillespy at Five Points, resid nee of Miss Buck on Eleventh avenue, seven residences for MT. F. N. Cullum, including his own elegant colonial home; sev;Tal others, the property of the Alabama National bank, and still others besides a large amount of job work under the most prominent real estate man and private citizens.
 Every intelligent man who Is on'y slightly acquainted with the situation will confess that but fer the existence of the Equitable Plumbing company, ths only non-association plumbing estab- Mshmsnt in Birmingham, th= prices for plumbing could, and probably cent. But as long as we live 1t can't be dome.
 Upon tf,es4 reasonable grounds we think we can claim a share of your patronage.

 "The New York Herald is authority for the statement that the armor plate board is in favor of Birmingham for the proposed government plant, which would cost three million dollars.

 The editor of the Tuscaloosa Gazette does not understand the ways of the girls. The Gazette says:
 'The girls and boys have taken to 'possum hunting these fall nights. It is a strange thing that a delicate girl who can hardly go up town and walk back can tramp ten miles through the woods after a 'possum that proves en- tirely visionary and VOW she isn't a bit tired after all."
