They are awfuily tender of dogs In
New York The decision rendered in q
recent case was that if a dog bites a
person but once the owner of the dog Is
lot responsible. In other words, If you
are bitten by dog in New York City the
proper thing TO 40 is to stand still and let
the dog chew untl he is good enough to
let go. After that you may have some
hope of recovering damages, especially if
he is known as aferocious dog accustomed
to eat people, and has been in scrapes Of
this kind before. Ia this particular case
a dog seized little girl by the wrist and
lacereted 1t so that she was obliged 10
spend over two weeks in the Pasteur In
stitute. A suit for $3.50 damages was
brought, bnt failed.

A GREAT EVENT.
A Matter of Interest to Everybody

Two questions that always confront a live business firm are, first, what will sell; second, how can the demand be maintained. The solution of these lead usually to unqualified successes. The truth of this statement Is exemplifed in the marked growth of the Beck Candy and Grocery company, which is not at all wonderful to any one who watches their methods. Their merchandise always sells rapidly and the demand is mnin- tained because everything they handle is strictly first class, and whsn their goods are once used people will have no other Several days ago this firm re- celVed large consignment of pickles catsups, sauces. etc, and the Ags-Herald announced that they expected an equal ly large consignment of the celebrated preserves, jams, jsllies and mincemeats made by the J. D. Stiz Preserving com pany, of Louisville. This consignment has arrived and is of a most tempting nature-preserves of all sorts, peach, plum, strawberry, raspberry. appls, damson and quince, and jellies of just as many varieties, besides spsendid mincemeats and apple butter. These goods are put up in a most attractive manner and no doubt are already on sale in all of the leading stores of 13lr- mingham, Pratt City and Bessemer; if they are not they will be soon. Make it a point to try them and you will come to the conclusion that it Is better to live to eat than to eat to live.
 In connection with this consignment the Beck Candy and Grocery company ordered and have received large quan- tity Of Belle of the Suoth vinegar, the very bsSt probably that has eyer been put on the market.
