Owing to the rapidly increasing
army of men along the lower Nissis-
sippi river engaged in clam fishing
for the pearl button factories, good
hands for raft boats are becoming
scarce. There appears to be no temp

there are many, who would hardly
accept $40, where year or two ago
they were glad to get $25 and $50 a
month and board. f ri, !.

FIRST CONCERT
Of the Birmingham Festival Orchestra
Association Next Thursday

The Birmingham Festival Orchestra assoc
citation has issued a circular letter ANNOUNCE
ing the grand festival concert under the
direction of Mr.. Guckenberger on next
Thursday night at OBrien's opera house.
The following extracts will be of interest
to all lovers of music:
The programme will be varied and excep-
tionally brilliant. Part l. will include five
orchestral numbers, and Part II. will be
made up of rich selections from the Mes
siah'-solos and choruses with orchestral
accompaniment The Messiah" chorus,
numbering fully eighty voices, will do
splendid work. and among the soloists will
he two fine artists from Cincinnati-Mr.
w. c. Ernst, tenor, and Mr.. Oscar ].
Ehrgott, baritone. The Messiah" has been
well rendered in Birmingham every Christ
mas-tide during the past three years, but
only by a small body of singers and never
with orchestral support.
This will be the occasion of the BiIming-
ham Festival Orchestra's first appearance
in public. The best professional and anna
teur musicians are members Of the organi-
cation, and as they have attended weekly
rehearsas since early in the fall, they play
with smoothness and finish. The orchestra
may, indeed, be regarded as a high credit
to Birmingham. Its organization certainly
marks an important advance In musical en-

NATURE MEANT IT.
When Nature Put Iron Into Your Blood
She Meant 1t.

She didn't do it for fun. 1t wasn't on acct
dent.
Our bodies need iron or we would never
find it in the blood, in the gastric juice, in
the chyle, in the lymph, in the bile, in the
pigment of the eye, in the milk and in other
natural secretions Of the body.
What is the iron for? 1t is for strength.
1t is a food. 1t is necessary for certain pro-
cesses of living.
The want of it makes us sick. .
How can we tell the want of it?
Paleness is a sign Weakness thnness,
general debility. depression, nervousness,
rheumatism, chills, ague and lack of ambi-
ton and vitality.
All these mean the want of iron.
People who are always ailing, who catch
cold and other diseases easily, who suffer
from aches and pains, who are too weak to
work and too depressed to enjoy life-such
people need iron. Do you?
Many remedies for all these ills contain
drugs and memorials that are never found in
the body unless put there. Can they be
natural?
Better take a medicine containing ingredi-
ents which nature uses herself In building
up the body.
You wouldn't patch up an iron bulld1ng
with wood.
DR.. Harter's Iron Tonic puts iron in your
blood Iron in the form most easily used.
DR. Harters Iron Tonic builds you up and
makes you strong as iron.
dallas, Tex, Dec. 10, 1897.
'Dallas News: MISUNDERSTANDING
your inquiry of today, I eheerfully recon-
mend Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic for general
household medicine. I have used several
. bottles in my family, and for building up
the system, loss of appetite and indigestion
it can't be beat In future / will always

"Dodge's Trip tol New York." with Hem
shaw and TenBroeek in the cast, was the
attraction at O'Brens opera house last
night, and proved one of the best of the
season in the comedy line. John e. Hem
shaw, as Howell I. Dodge, President of the
Musquitoville Bank, was excellent, and
with his antics kept the audience In roar
of laughter Miss TenBroeck has lost none
of her avoirdupois, which is somewhat
against her, but as Mrs. Dodge she filled
one of the principal characters satisfacto-
rily. The rest of the cast was good, and
the performance was greatly enjoyed.
Although the company was billed for only
one night, the management has extended
the engagement, and the performance will
be repeated at matinee today and again to-
night.
