This will furnish mar ket for class of timber that has here tofore been unstable, giving a large number of laborers work and also buying timber from timber men and farmers, thus putting large amount of money in circulation here, instead of sending it west, as we have done in the past.
 Birmingham has for years stood in nsed of just such plant as this, and it should be encouraged and patronized by every patriotic citizen of Birmingham and the state of Alabama.

 Mr. J. w. Hardesty, formerly of Mont gomery Ala, is at the head of this new enterprise. He is a practical progress sive, pushing and experienced man in this line of business, and will use his best efforts to give the trad+ entire satisfac- ton.
 The company has already received large orders in advance for their pro ducts and will commence shipping the f-slt of the coming month.
 The citizens of Birmingham should be a unit in hoping that this enterprise will be rewarded with the success that 1t de- serves, and it should be supported by everybody in Jefferson county who be- lieves in fostering home industries.

The Legislature of Alabama
 AND Building and Loan Associa-
 tions.

The general assembly of Alabama, at it's last session, enacted a law requiring all building and loan associations in the state to reduce their interest charges to those in force by the Jefferson County Building and Loan association, of Bir- mingham Ala. This association invites all who desire to invest money in a safe and conservative institution to investi- gate it's plans; also those who wish to borrow, 6 per cent. participating and 2 per cent. dividend stock are most de- sirable investments for idle money. Definite contract, economical manage ment, conservative estimates ara it's strong points.

MILNER & KETTIG co.
A Firm Name That Is the Synonym for Success and One Among the Most
 Progressive.

One of the most responsible and inn Iortant business enterprises of Birming- ham, and one that stands at the fore front of our commercial interests, is the Milner & Kettig company, the leading and largest establishment of it's class in Alabama. This business was estab- lished nearly fifteen years ago by Maj. W. J. Milner, the senior member of the Miner & Kettig company. Continued growth and prosperity has attended this concern from its inception The demands of their great business now require, in addition to their main building covering four floors containing 30,000 square feet a large warehouse, 200 feet front, conven- iently located on the Alabama Great Southern railroad, in which they unload all their very heavy goods, thus saving drayage and double handling. Their stock is large and comprehensive, em- bracing machinery, mill, mining and fur mace supplies, wrought iron pipe and fit- tings, pumps, rubber and leather belt ing, rubber hose and packing, etc. An important department of the general business is an extra large and complete stock of plumbers supplies of all kinds. They are also sole agents for the follow ing well known manufacturers: Atlas Engine works, Cameron Steam Pump works, Lidgewood Hosting engines, Re- were Rubber company and the Page Betting company.
 The company employs fifty hands, and five travelling salesmen cover all terri tory in the southern states.
 The Milner & Kettig company was in corporatsd in 1891, with a capital stock of $150,000, and is officered as follows: Pres ident, w. H. Kettig; vice-president, w. J. Milner; secretary and treasurer, H. K. Milner.. These men stand in the front ranks of the social and commercial forces of Birmingham, and it Is safe to say that although the company has con- quered its way to a most enviable posi- ton in the field of human activities, it will not only hold it's own, but will win fresh laurels in the years to come.

 His latest essay is devoted to Sidney Lanier, and it is an Illuminating piece of work, strong, simple and keen. It seems to us that these booklets about southern writers, bound in more substantial fash ion, would be welcome addition to the readers employed in our schools. They could be used very effectively in the high CT grades, and might be the means of stimulating many young minds to turn their attention to literary effort.

TESTIMONIALS.

E1ectrolibration Co.,, Birmingham, Ala. I will give a short testimonial of what the Electropoise has done for me. I have been afflicted for twenty-five years and the last ten years a bed-ridden invalid My case was one of complicated female weakness and baff1ed the skill of all the
 doctors in reach of me. They could only relieve me of severe pain, but could never reach my case I have now been using
 the Electropoise four months and I am better than I have been in ten yearss \ can't explain how grateful I am. Sure. it will do all that Is claimed for 1t.
 would not take $500 for mine and do without it. Yours respectfully,
 MRS. M. D. TINDEL.
 Electrolibration Co.,, Birmingham, Ala.ta -V The Electropoise has been such true friend to me, that l wish to say some thing in its behalf. It does not require any faith to be re, stored by an Electropoise, as was well
 illustrated in my case. I was suffering torture from indiges- \ tion, but would not consent to try the
 'Poise till cousin had made me nearly frantic with her importunities. Then t only to silence her, I wore it. After thrse eight hours wear, could eat al- most anything eatable and haw I en- 4 1oyed it, only half-staryed creature \ knows. My sleep was refreshing, too. It is needless to say that I became a com plete convert. Since then, have cured myself of Ia grippe, and but recently of chills, without 4 taking a dose of medicine I could tell of hundred cures that
 have come under my observation. If 4 the Poise is used right, and long enough. 1t will never fail find the best results are obtained by the use of ice, instead of trusting to the weather. It makes no difference how \ cold it is, in this climate. when one re- tires, it may be mild before day. The ice and water should be kept at an N even temperature by being well.wrapped in blankets or quilts. There should be 4 as much ice in pitcher next morning as when Poise was first applied. Hoping that in time the Electropoise may be used by every sufferer, am sincerely,

Many thanks for th= invention of the Electro poise. Respectfully,
 MRS. LOUISA OLIN. Electroiibration Go.
 For about ten years I have been g. great sufferer from chronic diarrhoea and dyspepsia, and have tried the best physicians without result. About one year ago Dr. J. U. Stiefelmeyer, well known to our citizens, advised me to use the Electropose. I did not have any confidence in 1t, but as the instrument was recommended to me by such an em- inent physician as Dr. Stiefelmeyer I ordered boise and began treatment. As .av cese was very bad and of old stand ing it was about two months before I noticed any improvement. Since that time my health always improved, and I think now that I will be healthy man once again, which will be due to the Electropoise.
 As l am now convinced that it will cure most any disease I think it should be found in every family.
