ARRANGEMENTS CO PlETED
For the Reception of the District tpworth
 Leaguers-The Hog Must Go.

. Special Correspondence to Age-Herald.
 Pratt City, July 27.-All arrangements are about completed now for the reception which the Pratt City Epworth League will tender to the leagues of the Birmingham district on the night of August 9. The leaguers will be entertained at the resi- Harris hall which is just across the street, refreshments will be served. The object of the meeting is to promote the leagues in terests and to bring the young people of the district in closer touch.
 pr. R. F. Lovelady, the president of the league, is the leading spirit in the move ment, which has led to the perfection of the plans for the reception, and will do all in his power to make it a success. The Pratt City League is expecting at least one hundred and fifty or two hundred people to be present, and preparations are being made for the entertainment of this number. The occasion is expected to be one of the brilliant affairs in the history of the dis trict conference. Dr. Loveady mailed in vitations to all of the leagues today.
 Some of the city's energetic and enter prising citizens are endeavoring to have the hog law re-established. Sometime since a municipal law was passed by the city coun- cil which prohibited the roaming at large of hogs and other domestic animals on the streets and sidewalks of the town. For some reason the law was repealed, and steps will be taken to have it put in force again, as the short time of liberty granted the festive porkers has enlarged their ideas of freedom to such an extent that they boldly walk into some of the stores on the principal streets of the city, and the mer- chants are unable to keep produce or any thing of the kind in front of their places of business. The hogs are also beginning to establish for themselves sleeping places on the sidewalks, and the matter has be- come such a nuisance that it must be stopped.
 MT. P. J. Rogers paid flying visit to Johns yesterday afternoon.
 Seven or eight members of the Pratt City Baptist Young Peoples Union left the city this morning for Montgomery, Ala, where they go to attend the state convention of B. Y. P. us.
 Several parties have recently been in the city seeking houses to rent, which they were unable to find. This in itself speaks more for Pratt City's growth and advance ment than anything else could. year or two ago anyone could find a house to rent in Pratt City, but during the period of the two years just past the property has en- hanced so much in value as to be practi- cally impossible to build for renting pur- poses,

CULLMAN OFFICIALS.
Assistant Examiner Fosters Report on Books of
 Probate Judge, Clerk and Ex-Clerk.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Montgomery, July N.-Assistant Exam iner Foster has filed the following reports with the governor on the books of Cullman county officials:
 "I have made careful investigation of the books, papers and accounts of Hon. A. B. Hays, judge of prooate of Cullman county Ala, from 1892 to March 31, 1898.
 'I find that all moneys collected by him for the use of the state on account of li- censes and redemptions of lands duly re- ported and paid into the state treasury. "I have made a careful examination of the books, papers and accounts of MT. Carl Henckel, clerk of the circuit court of Cullman county, Ala, from the date of his appointment to July 1, 1898. The investi- gation shows that all solicitors fees and fee bills collected by him for the use of the state have been duly reported and paid into the state treasury. It further shows that feed and removal bills have been duly taxed up in all cases of conviction, and eX- cautions issued therefor in accordance with the law. In fact, I find that the affairs of this office have been managed in a thor oughly systematic manner"
 "I have made an examination of the books, papers eand accounts of Mr. Charles Grafton, ex-clerk of the circuit court of Cullman county, Alabama, from 1892 until his death.
 "I find that all solicitors fees collected by him have been reported and paid into the state treasury, except one fee of $30, collected from the sureties of Ben Harris, who was convictd of carrying concealed pistol on September 24, 1895. This fee was paid to MT. Grafton about the time he was taken sick, and in a short time before his death. His books show that he intend- ed to include it in his report of March 31, 1896, as 1t was entered on his solicitors fee docket as having been reported and paid. It was, however, in some way overlooked as his reports to the auditor do not show that it was ever reported or paid. MT. Grafton is on this account due the state the sum of s33S2 commissions having been deducted and interest to date added. I further find that he is due the state the sum of s759 for feed bills in cases where prisoners were convicted and with their sureties confessed judgment for fine and costs. as shown by exhibit "A," hereto att tached and made a part of this report"

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Bluff Springs, July Ex-Governor Joseph F. Johnston spoke here yesterday to a large crowd of people estimated at 2,0OO. A big barbecue had been provided and the people of Clay have not enjoyed such splendid day in many years.
 Among the crowd were several hundred populists, notwithstanding the fact that they had said from the stump that the gov ernor would not be present and had made an opposition appointment near by. But their game failed.
 Governor Johnston was greeted by the largest crowd ever assembled at a political gathering in Clay county. He spoke for two hours and held the close attention of his hearers from start to finish, The governors speech was a genuine vote maker, and Clay will role up big major ty for the democratic column.
 Hon. R. B. Kelley was introduced at the close of the governors speech, but declined to make political speech. He is the nomi- nee for chancellor of the Northeastern d. vision, and will win with ease. He com pletely captivated the audience by his few remarks.
 After the barbecue was served, pr. w. H. Blake was introduced and made a pow erful speech for democracy. Democracy and Governor Johnston were strong in Clay before but today the county is absolutely safe.

 A woman with the blues is very un- comfortable person. She is illogical, unhappy and frequently hysterical.
 The condition of the mind known as {" the blues," nearly always, with wo- men, results from diseased organs of generation.
 It is source of wonder that in this age of advanced medical science, any person should still believe that mere force of will and determination will overcome depressed spirits and nerv- ousness in women. These troubles are indications of disease.
 Every woman who doesn't under stand her condition should write to Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinlxham for her advice. Her advice is thorough com mon sense, and is the counsel of a learned woman of great experience. head the story of Mrs. F. s. BENNETT, Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol- lowing letter:
 "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I have suf- fered for over two years with falling, enlargement and alteration of the womb, and this spring, being in such a weakened condition, caused me to flow for nearly six months. Some time ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you for advice. After using the treatment which you advised for a short tim1, that terrible flow stopped.
 1T am now gaining strength and flesh, and have better health than I have had for the past ten years. wish to say to all distressed, suffer- ing women, do not suffer longer, when there is one so kind and willing to aid you"
