MONEY TO LOAN


 ''The Alabama Home has so perfected its plan that borrowers have many valuable options of settlement. Allowing the with drawal value of the stock with accumu- lated profits after seventy-two months to be withdrawn and credited direct on a loan enables borrower to know in advance al- most the exact cost of a loan. Illustrating the above we here give you the cost of $500 loan when the borrower repays $1OO direct on his loan each year and withdraws the stock in seventy-two months.

 Paines celery compound, upon which so much praise has been bestowed, is within the reach of the humblest family in the land.
 The incalculable amount of good that it is doing in making sick and even despairing people well should compel the attention of every judicious person who is out of health.
 Paines celery compound invigorates the nerves, makes new blood, arouses a hearty appetite, regulates the bowels and brings about normal action of the liver.
 The use of Paine's celery compound makes all the difference between impure, sluggish blood and tired nerves, and healthy, energetic bodily condition-between sickness and health.

tietirld, the suhJect OF this sketch, worked
lleie until 1874 as boss of crew, and in
that year entered the study of law with
Rice 4 Han, being admitted to the bar in
Knox rourly i'll 1876. He at once entered
practice with Gen J. 7. Cilley retiring
1r"m this pan tnership to practice alone
until the entrance of his brother, Arthur
:. LittietirId to the firm.
Nh. Littletield's career at the bar has
been very successful. He tried many i'm
po1ant cases and became noted for his
skill and tloquenCe.
In 1851 he was nominated for represen-
tative TO the Legislature and was elected,
serving on the judiciary committee. 1t
was while acting in this capacity that his
efforts obtained charter for the water
company which now supplies that section
OF Knox county.
He was re elected to the House in 1887
ana was chosen Speaker of that body by
acclamation. A unanimous nomination
at that time was an especial honor and
reflected credit upon the popularity and
abb lily of the candidate. Nh Littletield' S
splendid record as Speaker is a matter of
history. 1t laid the foundation of his
election as attorney general two years
later, and it made the name of Littetield
from that day.
At the time of his election as attorney
general Mr.. Littlefeld was the youngest
man, with the exception of Thomas B.
Reed, who had ever held the office, and
with only - years of practice behind him
was the youngest attorney general in
point of experience the State has ever
known. He was opposed in this fight by
Hon f. A. Powers of HoultOn hrot he !,
of Gov. Powers and attorney general for
the tour years preceding the term of
Attorney General W. 7. Hanes OF Water
vile.
Nj Littlefeld was a successful attorney
general, retiring in 1898 after brilliant
tenn OF service.
In 1892 he was a DELICATE to the Repub-
lican national convention at Minneapolis
the year in which MI. Blaine declined
to allow the use of his name.
MI. LittletieId was also delegate to
the national Republican c'nvention in
1886 and was chosen to present Mr. Reed S
name.
Mr.. LittIeteld was married in 1875 to
Clara y. Aver of Montvllle, a daughter of
Gen. William Aver, and sister of Richard
Aver, who was once member of Con
gress from Virginia There are two chill

New York City's Annual Gift to the
Poor.

These direct appropriations of money
do not represent all of the city's contribu-
ton to the cause of charity. The prop
erty of all the charitable institutions and
societies is exempt from taxation and
from assessments for public improve
ments. The tax commissioners report
that the assessed value of the property of
such organizations is SO, 7Sl, 900 At the
present rate of taxation this means loss
to the city of more than 81 400, 600 a year
The assessments upon the same property
for public improvements exceed 500, 900
a year, which is paid by the city. These
exemptions materially affect the tax rate
as well as the bonded Indebtedness and
annual interest charges of the city, SO
that the yearly contribution of the tax
payers of New York to charity is nearly
if not quite $1,000 900, or about fifteen
per cent. of the direct expenses of the
city government.
Some figures from the budget for 1899
will show the relative cost of caring for
the poor. The city will pay for public
