SELMA
Negro Boy Killed Accidentally Opening
 of Schools Burglars

Selma, October 2.-(Special. )-Yesterday afternoon, near a little store on the out. skirts of the city, Joe Roan, a 9-year-old negro boy, while coming from Sunday school, met his death from blow that was intended for Shack Desseker a notorious negro about town. Desseker and John Hen |. ry Williams. another negro, had been shooting craps behind the store, when a row occurred, and Desseker grabbed the money and ran out upon the sidewalk. Williams followed him, grabbing up big hickory stick as he ran. Reaching the sidewalk he made a swipe at Desseker and struck the little negro who was passing along the street.
 Seeing what he had done Williams picked the quivering form up in his arms and bore 1t to the home of the little boy 8 mother. Here he laid the little fellow down and went for a doctor. The mother hurried to town to swear out a warrant for the arrest of Williams, and when she returned she found that the boy was dead. Williams made off after sending the doc tor and has not been seen since.
 Last night auger holes were bored in the rear door of Webb Gayles saloon, and through the opening thus made the hand of the burglar was inserted and the bar which fastened the door removed. The burglar or burglars secured a pistol and a gold watch. There was no money left in the cash register or 1t would also have been taken.

Her home is in Columbus, Miss, and she has numbers of friends throughout the South. She is an unusually charming and attractive young woman, and in her stage career she has fully sustained the reputation of the Southern woman in making a success of everything she undertakes. Miss Curtis has been on the stage six or seven years, and has been for the greater part of the time a member of Julia Marlowes company. Mrs. Bank Mcdowell of Thomas is sister of Miss Curtis and the latter has num- Der of personal friends in Birmingham who have not had the pleasure of seeing her upon the stage and who are naturally anticipating her appearance at the Jefer- son with more than ordinary interest while the fact that Miss Curtis is among the Southern women who have given the stage distinction will add greatly to the interest attached to the much-discussed dI Iamitzation of Marie Corellfs famous book.

Winter Clothes for the Little
 Ones At the Mercy Home

At the meeting of the Creche yesterday morning the most urgent appeal was made for winter underwear and coats and jackets for the children at the Mercy Home Just at this season when the mothers are dis carding the somewhat worn underclothing or worn jackets of their own little ones, seems a most appropriate time for the suggestion that all such articles that can be again utilized to be sent to the needy children at the Mercy Home. The mem- bers of the Creche, knowing that every woman in Birmingham gladly contributes from the wardrobes of her own little ones to the unfortunate ones, when the latter needs are made known request that any article in under clothing and jackets for winter wear for children from to 10 years old be sent to either Mrs. Alexander T. London. No 222O Highland avenue, or to Mrs. J. T. Nixon, corner Fourth avenue and Twenty-first street

 Mrs. James Barton of Toronto, Canada, writes: For eighteen months l suffered from what I supposed was bladder and kidney trouble, and took medicine from three different doctors, without any sign of cure. l fell so i'll at last l was hardly able to do my work.
 I thought I would try box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and see if they would ppake me feel better never really thinking had dyspepsia, but after only three or four tablets had been taken all the acid trouble disappeared and then l discovered had had acid dyspepsia, while the doctors had been treating me for kidney and blad- der trouble and one of them treated me for rheumatism.
 My digestion Is fine my complexion clear and l am able to do my work and low spirits are unknown to me. I am so thankful for finding a cure so good and so pleasant to take as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. I am surprised at the change they have made in me.
 All druggists sell and recommend Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets because they contain only the simple natural digestives, and taken after meals prevent acidity and cause prompt digestion and assimilation of food Physicians everywhere endorse them be- cause they are as safe for the child as for the adult; they are invaluable for sour stomach, nervous dyspepsia, heartburn, gas on stomach and bowels and every form of stomach derangement.
