HEAVY RAINS
Have Caused Many Washouts in and
 Around Bessemer

Bessemer, April 16.-(Special.)-T fear full heavy rains of today caused the walls of the large reservoir of the water works to give way, precipitating heavy body of water onto the Louisville and Nashville mineral track below washing it away in two different places and stopping the passing of the Blockton train until the breaks are repaired. The upper reservoir of the water works is intact, so there will be no interruption in the regular supply to consumers.
 The Powderly line had a washout near the crossing of the Louisville and Nash vile, which cut a gap in the track and the steam train had to suspend operations and went in the middle of the afternoon to Birmingham.
 Mrs. Hawkins, of Smiths lower mines died yesterday and was buried this after noon. She was widow and the mother of l.. c. Hawkins, of this city.

NATURE MEANT 1T.
When Nature Put Iron Into Your Blood
 She Meant It.

She didn't do it for fun. It wasn't on acci- 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? It is for strength. It is food. It is necessary for certain pro- cesses of living.
 The want of 1t makes us sick.
 How can we tell the want of it?
 Paleness is a sign. Weakness, thinness. general debility, depression, nervousness, rheumatism, chils, 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 menerals that are never found in the body unless put there. Can they be natural?
 Better take medicine containing ingredi- ents which nature uses herself in building up the body.
 You wouldn't patch up an iron building with wood.
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic puts iron In your blood. Iron in the form most easily used. Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic builds you up and
 
 Dallas, Tex, Dec. 15, 1897. Dallas News: Gentlemen-Answering your inquiry of today, cheerfully recom- mend Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic for a general household medicine. I have used several bottles in my family, and for building up the system, loss of appetite and indigestion 1t cant be beat. In future I will always have a bottle of Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic in the house. J. J. BINGON. "21S N. Harwood."
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic has been used by and has brought health to thousands. A let ter received from one of the most prominent men in Ohio, Hon. J. W. Cruikshank of Troy, ex-chief of the supreme court of Ohio, will serve as an example. He says: "For the benefit of other sufferers I con- slider it my duty to speak of pr. Harter's Iron Tonic. My wife was an invalid for several years had lost nearly all vitality; she could not eat and was reduced in flesh to an alarming extent. All medicines failed to give relief until we tried pr. Harters Iron Tonic, which restored her usual health and strength in a very short time. Words cannot express our appreciation of this val uabe remedy. It is certainly wonder and worthy of place in every home"
