nBEF()'-DE-WAH COTTON, ]" MIR. SAM c. ALEXANDER RE GENES AN UNIQUE
 PRESENT. From 1860 Cotton, Woven Into Cloth at Atlanta During the Exposition, Mr.
 Alexander Gets a
 Suit of
 Clothes.

MT. $. c. Alexander, the well known cotton buyer, appeared on the streets yesterday in new and novel light brown suit of clothes which have an historic interest and which attracted no small degree of attention. The cloth was made from Nankeen cotton grown before the war. the cotton having been woven into cloth by the old loom and spinning wheel in the presence of thousands of interested speeta= tors during the International Ex position at \ tlanta. The cloth was 2 present to Mr. Alexander from his friend. MT Henry H. Smith, of Atlanta, Ga, who bought the cot ton and had it manufactured into cloth during the Atlanta Exposition. A complete history of this goods can best be obtained by a rerusal of Mr. Smiths letter to Mr Alexander, which is as follows:
 ATLANTA, Ga, Sept l, 1897. nr s C. Alexander Pine Blun, Ark. f Dear Sir-In May, 1895, when arranging for our great Intcrna, tional Exposition, I conceived the idea of securing a bale of Nankeen cotton raised in time of slavery and have it carded, spun and woven by an soIe foh de wah oman in the old fashioned way on the Exposition Grounds. l wrote to almost every port gpoint in this country and Europe and finally found one bale at New Orleans, which was raised z by an old African named Guinea George, alias George Washington, on Frog Level Plantation in Ala bama, who raised, picked and ginned the cotton in 1860 and kept the bale at his home through the years of hard tack and bullets. Some time afterwards he shipped it to New Orleans where it remained, as there has been no demand for Nan keen cotton since the war brought the bale here fot the above named purpose and have had a DOT ton of it packed into some thousand miniature bales, with my card on them, and each little bale containing two bullets picked up by an old soldier after the battle of Atlanta, the siege of Sherman and Johnson, on July 2, 1861
 herewith enclose you one of these little bales as a paper weight for your desk, which, l hope, you will keep as d souvenir also send you enough cloth made from this bale for suit of clothes There is nothing likeit in this country. l trust you will ofter be reminded of hls old soldier who is your friend.
 Yours truly
 HENRY H. SMITH,
 The cloth was made into a very peat and handsome suit by Burns, the tailor, ard will be placed on eX- hoition at the County Fair.
 It is needless to say that Mr Alexander is proud of his clothes, Rnd the people of Jefferson and sur. bounding counties will no doubt be glad to see a suit of clothes made put of befo- de wah cotton on Exhibition at the Fair.

TO CURE DYSPEPSIA.
A New Remedy Which Win
 Do It.

Chronic dyspepsia is considered by many people to benearly if not quite incurable. No good reason can be given why they think so except that perhaps they have tried various rem edies without much, if any benefit But the progress in every branch of medicine has been such that among other things q lasting cure for iadf- gesti0n in it's chronic form Us well as temporary has been discovered and is now placed before Che public strictly on it's merits as q permanent cure for all stomach troubles CT diffi= culties with the digetive organs.
 This new treatment is called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets being put up in tablet form so as to be easily taken and also to preserve it's good qualities for an indefinite length of time.
 This remedy has produced sur prising effects iii the worst forms of indigestion, and in many cases where ordinary remedies failed to give even relief. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have fully cured.
 The splendid results from using this preparation are owing to the fact that it is prepared and intend cd for Dyspepsia and stomach troubles only. It is not q cnre-all like so many advertised remedies, claiming to cure everything under the sun, but it is claimed it that is q certain cure for Dyspepsia and any one suffering from any form of indigestion cannot fail to get perma- nent relief and cure from it's use.
 It is so prepared and the ingredi- ents are of such a nature that when the tablets are taken into the stomach they digest the food no matter whether the stomach is in good working order or not. You get sustenance and strength to mind and body by reason of the food be- ing properly digested and at the same time the much abused stomach is allowed to rest and recuperate
 Notwithstanding the great benefits tO be derived from Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets, the price is but 50c for full sized package and all druggists sell them.
