the purchase made by MT. E. N. Cullom from the Elyton Land company of all that portion of the South Highlands ly- ing west of Seventeenth street. This purchase at the time was heralded as the largest sale of residence property that had ever been made in the city. At the time of the purchase there were no improvements of any character upon the property and no evidence of any street, save the irregular outlining shown by the cutting away of timber.
 Work was begun upon this property immediately, and in less than a year it had been graded, curbed, water, gas and sanitary sewers put in as far as Eff teenth street, and no less than twenty odd homes erected thereon. These homes, complete, were offered to purchasers upon a small cash payment and the bal

 MT. Jemison, the ever alert president of the Birmingham Railway and Electric company has secured franchise from the city to traverse this property with an electric system of railway, which will be constructed during this year. He gives assurances that it will be one of the handsomest equipped lines in the south, affording every comfort and facility Without any intention of depricat- ing the activity with which this property has been managed, or the large amount of money expended, the success with which it has been attended is largely due which it has clothed this property and to the topography of the ground giving it natural drainage.
 As there are considerable other inn provements contemplated this property will not be offered for sale until they are further advanced.
 Modernly built homes on this avenue that would easily rent for $35 per month will be offered for sale upon monthly payments of $40. One attractive feature in offering this property will be that no as to character of residences to be built

ance in monthly installments, about equal to the figure at which the property fortable or attractive homes can now be found in the city.
 The success with which this develop rnent met determined MT. Cullom last year upon further extending his inn provements upon a much larger and more substantial basis. Beginning at Fifteenth street, he has had this avenue graded and macadamized, tunneled by those arteries of civilization-gas and water mains and sanitary sewer-f1anked on both sides by solid stone curbing, holding asphalt block sidewalks 15 feet wide, with grass plats on either side. The terraces along this new property are guarded by solid stone masonry walls, with heavy copings. In fact, everything is ready for the reception of homes, even unto the telephone wires, which, strung upon neatly painted poles, lined up on one side of the avenue with military pre- cision of unbroken column. seem already

 For pleasant Sunday stroll or after noon drive there is mo. more charming way than out Eighteenth street, south, to Eleventh avenue and along that beau tiful thorOughfare. MT. Cullom, for the enterprise and far-seeing wisdom with which he is pushing the extension and Improvement of this avenue, deserves not only the great success which most dertainly will follow his efforts, but also the thanks of all who value the appear dnce and cleanliness of the city's streets. Inquiries are coming in now from other states for homes in Birmingham, and the greater city will number amongst the

Out
For Cancer

Few people are born entirely free from
blood faint. This is often very slight or
remote, and sometimes may not develop
at all in one generation, but breaks out
IN serious disease later.
Cancer, the most dreadful of all dis
eases, is often the result of some blood
faint inherited from generations bacl-.
1t often appears as a mere mole or in
significant pimple, which later develops
into an alarming condition. No one
knows but that he may be subject to an
inherited impurity in the blood, nor can
he tell whether or not this may some
day crop out in the form of destructive
cancer. 1t is, therefore, important that
any little sore or scratch, which does
not readily heal, be given prompt atten-
ton, or serious condition may result.
Mr.. Robert Smedley, of Ocala, Fla,
was the victim of malignant cancer,
which first appeared in the manner
above described. He writes:
AT first l pail no attention to the
little blotches on my face, thinking they
would soon pass away. Before long,
however, they became sore, and soon
began to enlarge. 1 applied ordinary
local remedies, but they had no effect,
and / then consulted physician. When
