Astrologer Raphaefs prophecies lof Sat urday. August II. 1900:
 Deal. seek work, be careful and push thy l business.
 Avoid speculation and keep thy money
 safe. neither stand bond for any one; thou
 wilt have an active year but not success
 ful one.
 1 A child born on this day will be for
 tunate and active, and will succeed but 1t
 will spend it's money fast, so will not be- l come rich"
 Astrologer Raphaels prophecies for sum- day. August F, 1900:
 1 Visit thy friends
 .'Thou wilt have many changes and trav-
 cling and thy business cause thee some
 anxiety; in thy domestic or family affairs
 thou wilt be more fortunate. l A child born on this day will be un- settled in disposition and fond of change,
 but kind and obliging; it's success in life will depend upon the hour of its birth | Better than any medicine with which I i am familiar is lemon juice or lime juice, 1 said prominent and progressive physician. 1 Tt is as every one in the Southern coun- l try knows, a most valuable liver regula- i tor. The trouble is lemon juice is not l used so generally as it should be- It should l be used systematically and freely from | carly spring until frost. Every glass of 1 water or cold tea drunk should have lemon l or lime in it. If this simple health rule l were observed there would be no demand | for oalomel or quinine. Bilious fever would l be almost unknown" This is a country of great distances, l and each section is naturally characterized l by it's own style of dress and manners, | said the representative of a New York | clothing house. There is nothing new or | original in that observation" the man l continued, but what I am about to re- mark is this Every young Southern wo- man of refinement born and reared in the country-no matter how remote from | city-knows how to dress. When the man | from the rural district comes to town he 1 can be spotted as a countryman, no matter | low fine his apparel may be. Not with 1 the country girl She will be dressed with taste and in the latest mode. She keeps up with the styles, even though her home be in the backwoods"
 The travelling man remarked also about men in shirtwaists. He said the shirtwaist fashion would not be generally adopted in
 
 season coats would be rarely seen Shirt
 waists will quickly come in vogue in the South, he said. Those worn by the swells in the East differ from the ordinary colored
 shirt only in their expanse. They are fuller and more breezy" Orders have been issued for the Third Regiment Alabama National Guard, Col nl n c1oit i,+o camp at East Lake Saturday, August IS, instead of Thursday the 23d, as at first order- l ed. This gives little time for preparation, 1 but the regimental officers say that every | thing will be in shape. Memolrs band has
 been engaged to furnish the music for the
 camp. The Second Regiment will follow l the Third at East Lake on the 18th of Au- | gust. The soldiers will add much to the | life of Birmingham in the closing days of | summer.
 | Birmingham is about to lose one of its l best citizens, J. T. Roy, manager and buyer | for the large clothing and furnishing house | of J. l.. Chalifoux & Go. has resigned his | position with that firm for the purpose of | going in business for himself in his old l home, Lowell Mass. He will head the firm | of Roy &O'Heir. MT. Roy has been connect ed with Chalifoux for twenty-one years, first l in Lowell and then in Birmingham, and MT. l O'Heir has worked for the ChalifouX con- cern for fifteen years. The new firm has | bought out large established business in l Lowell.
 Workmen are busiy engaged in pulling l down the old Methodist church at the cor l ner of Nineteenth street and Fourth ave- 1 nue to make room for the Hotel Hillman, | and by week after next the familiar land | mark will have passed entirely from view. | The hotel architects are making satisfac- l tory progress with their plans and there 1 will be no delay in commencing the foun- l dation work.
 Birmingham, noted for it's good health
 in summer, has been particularly free from
 sickness this summer So say the physi- | cians., There has been less fever than | usual. We have had some hot weather, but
 no one is prostrated by the heat A we'll l located Southern city like Birmingham suf- | fers less from the heat than the cities of | the far North, where sunstrokes are com | mon.
