LOCAL COTTON MARKET.
Large Receipts This Week and Prices
 Firm.

Birminghams cotton receipts have been heavy this week, and on yesterday they were larger than on any previous day this fall. The movement by both rail and wagon was wonderfully brisk.
 There are a half dozen or more cotton buyers in Birmingham, and they were all busy from morning till late in the after noon. w. S. Brown bought 112 bales, and it is estimated that the volume of wagon cotton alone sold in the city yesterday reached nearly 800 bales.
 The prices paid yesterday were about the same as on Tuesday. Good middling closed at 9ssc which was also Tuesday, s closing price.
 It is believed by cotton buyers that at least half of the Jefferson County crop has now been marketed. Many farmers are holding back for 10c and better, but If prices do not drop materially from present quotations there will be active selling right along

STRIKERS PLACES
 ARE BEING FILLED. Eight Printers from Kansas City
 Are at Work QUESTION OF UNION RAISED
New Men are Members of Printers Pro tectiVe Fraternity and Claim
 AffiIiation With Knights of Labor-Strikers Firm.

The strike declared by the printers em- ployed in several of the job printing offices last Friday is still on, but some of the shops worked small forces yesterday. Tues day night eight printers, members of the Printers Protective Fraternity, arrived from Kansas City and most of them went to work in the different offices yesterday morning. It is claimed by the Typographi- cal Union that some of these men put in only part of the day and that some oth- CTS will not return to work this morning.
 The Printers Protective Fraternity claim utilization with the Knights of Labor, while the International Typographical Union IS affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, both claiming to be duly organized labor bodies
 It was given out at the headquarters of the Typographical Union last night that number of the business men of the city had agreed to require that the typographi- cal label be used on all the work they have done at the job offices. A committee of printers canyassed the city yesterday with view of securing the agreement of the merchants to do this. and they report that in every instance they were successful.
 IL IS hot hHoWn whether any new printers will arrive today but as the job offices have agents in the different cities after men to take the places of the strikers 1t is claimed that they will secure what men they need. Whether they go to work and continue to work after they get here is a question that can only be settled after they have arrived. Efforts are being male to prevail upon all men who took the placesx of the strikers to quit, but some of the new men are stubborn and refuse to walk out at the request of the strikers
 Both sides are determined, and the fight between the job offices included in the strike and the printers will likely last for some time.

 FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
Revival and Union Thanksgiving Serv-
 ices Today.

An earnest congregation heard MT. .Ris- ner preach last night on the text: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" Acts xvi: 31. It is quite probable that a more impressive and effective mes sage of good tidings" has not been brought to the people of this city in a great while. This sermon was, of course, de- livered to the unconverted. The preacher took up nearly half of his time citing pas- sages of Scripture relative to the subject, this being his favorite method of preach . ing. The service last night was proof of the idea that when the Christians get in close relations to God, and in proper feel ing and fellowship with one another, that sinners will be converted, for twelve per- sons Several grown men and women) pro- fessed faith in Christ at the close of the service and many asked for an interest in the prayers of Gods people. The congre- gation is greatly enjoying the sweet sing ing of MT. Lamoreux. MT. Lamoreux not only led the singing at both services yes terday, but also sang several solos, which did great good.
 This morning at 10:30 the members of the Southside Baptist Church will meet with the First Baptist folk for the purpose of holding a joint Thanksgiving and praise service. The public is especially urged to attend this meeting No announcement as to bringing the revival meetings to close has been yet made on account of the fact that the interest in the meetings grows at every service.

KNOWS NO DISTINCTION.
Rich and Poor Alike Suffer from Ca
 tarrh in this Climate.

All observant physicians have noticed the enormous increase in catarrhal diseases in recent years, and the most liberal and en- frightened have cheerfully given their ap- proval to the new internal remedy, Stuart s Catarrh Tablets as the most successful aid by far the safest remedy for eatarrh yet produced.
 One well known catarrh specialist, as soon as he had made a thorough test of this sprays and now depends entirely upon Stuart's Catarrh Tablets in treating catarrh whether in the head throat or stomach.
 .Dr. Risdell says ''in patients who had lost the sense of smell entirely, and even where the hearing has begun to be affected from ccatarrh have had fine results after only a few weeks use of :Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. I can only explain their action on. the theory that the cleansig and antiseptic properties of the tablets destroy the catarrhal germs wherever found ihecause I have found the tablets equally valuable in catarrh of the ,throat and stomach as in nasal catarrh.'
 .Dr. 5Estabrook says Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets are especially useful in nasal catarrh and ecatarrh of rthe rthroat, clearing the membranes of mueus and speedily overcom- ing the hawking, coughing and eXpector- ,ating.
 Any sufferer from catarrh will find Stu arts Gatafrh Tablets will give immediate relief, and being in tablet form and pleas ant to the taste are convenient and always ready for use. as they can be carried in the pocket and used at any time, as they contain no poisonous drugs, but only the cleansing iantiseptic properties of EncaBp- tls bark Guaiacol, blood root and Hydfas- tin.
 All druggists sell the tablets at 50 cents for complete treatment.

Mayor Authorized to Sign Con-
 tract With Mir. Sheppard
SPECIAL MEETING OF BOARD
$15o,ooo to be Furnished by Steiner Brothers Must be Available December 1-New Improve
 ment Bill is Ready.

At a special meeting of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen yesterday afternoon, the snle of the old city hall building to r. G. Sheppard for $S65 was ratified.
 The Mayor Is authorized to sign the con tract with MT Sheppard, and when this is done the work of tearing down the present structure will begin. The resolution which was passed ratifying the sale to MT Shep- pard provides also that before the old build ing is torn down that the $150,O0O necessary to erect the new city hall must be avail able.

According to the resolution passed yesterday this agreement must be compiled with before the old building is torn away. There seems to be no doubt but that the money will be available but the clause was inserted as a matter of precaution,
 Before the board adjourned Alderman Kerr suggested that some action be taken on the recent work of the legislative com mittee in preparing a bill to amend the present improvement law of this city. MT. Kerr stated that the bill had been prepared very carefully, and that 1t would be ready in a day or two to present to the Legisa- ture. On motion of MT. Gray the work of the committee was indorsed. As soon as possible the committee, which has attained the title of "rounders D will proceed to the State capital and make an effort to have the city charter amended so as to change the improvement laws which is said to be much needed.
