And How Mrs. Pinkham Helps
 Overcome Them.

Mrs. MARY BoLLINaER, 1101 Marianna St., Chicago, H., to Mrs. Pinkham:
 "I have been troubled for the past two years with falling of the womb, leucorrhea, pains over my body, sick headaches, baclRache, nervousness and weakness. I tried doctors and various remedies without relief. After taking two bottles of your Vegetable Com- pound, the relief I obtained was truly wonderful. have now taken several more bottles of your famous medicine, and can say that am entirely cured"
 Mrs. HENRY DoRR, No. s06 Findley St., Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mrs. Pinkham:
 "For long time l suffered with chronic inflammation of the womb, pain in abdomen and bearing-down feeling. Was very nervous at times, and so weak I was hardly able to do any thing. Was subject to headaches, also troubled with leucorrhna. After doc toring for many months with different physicians, and getting n relief, had given up all hope of being well again when I read of the great good Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Com- pound was doing. decided immedi- ately to give it trial. The result was simply past belief. After taking four bottles of Vegetable Compound and using three packages of Sanative Wash can say feel like a new woman. I deem it my duty to announce the fact to my fellow sufferers that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable remedies have entirely cured me of all my pains and suffering. I have her alone to thank for my recovery, for which am grate- ful. May heaven bless her for the good work she is doing for our sex"

To Meet Tom Heflin on the Stump in the
 Fifth

Hefin submitted his request or challenge to Colonel Brewer through the Journal of last Tuesday. It was in the na- ture of an open letter and in it MT. Heflin expressed some willingness to concede Lowndes county, Colonel Brewers home, to the congressman, assuming that Colonel Brewer would concede to him (Mr. Hefin) the counties of Randolph and Chambers the latter being MT. Hefiin's home county
 It appears that Colonel Brewer does not by long odds concede Randolph to MT. Hefiin and says that he himself will easily win the renomination to congress.
 gentleman from Tallapoosa, who is thoroughly informed on the politics of his county and of others in the Fifth district stated today that MT. Brewers nomina- tion was by no means a certainty if Tom Hef1in ran, as the young tribune of Cham bers had a very considerable following in his and the adjoining counties.

NEW RAILROAD.
Mobile & Ohio Are to Build a New
 Line.

Mobile. August 26.-(Special.) .)-The de- charlton of incorporation of the Mobile and Bay Shore Railway company has been filed in the office of the secretary of state at Montgomery, and authority has been is- sued by that official for the opening of books of subscription to the capital stock of said company.
 President Russell makes the following statement in regard to the new road:
 Tt is true-that the declaration to create a corporation and secure commission to open books, as required by the statute of Alabama, has been filed in the office of the secretary of state at Montgomery. This filing of the declaration makes the matter public, I notice in the Times Democrat of today the simple announcement of such filing.
 > ''The name of the new corporation is the Mobile and Bay Shore railway; and the incorporators of the new concern are W. Butler Duncan and Adrian Iselin, Jr., of New York; A. J. Russell, of Meridian, Miss; J. c. Clarke and E. l.. Russell of Mobile.
 ''The new corporation will build rail- road extending from Mertz station on the Duncan branch, down to or near Porters- vile and Alabama Port. It is thought by those interested in the Mobile and Ohio company, and especially in the develop ment of the city of Mobile and in her in- dustrial, agricultural and commercial in- terests. that the road will pay. All the rights of way for the new railroad have been secured.
 'The organization of the new corporation will be effected by the election of officers, the issuing of stock, and then providing means for the construction of the railroad. This will be done as soon as possible.
 ''This is but another evidence of MT. W. Butler Duncan's faith in Mobile and her future. Of course, while we, the local of ficers of the road approve of this new road the rasing of the money-the essential part of the enterprise-will fall on MT. Duncan and whatever ciedit is due to the Mobile and Ohio people for the undertaking is due entirely to MT. Duncan"
 Colonel Russell said further that the dis tance to be covered is twenty-seven miles. and that all the details would be arranged later.
