Marengo's Court House.

A citizen of Linden was visitor to the city today and speaking of Marengo af- fairs said:
 "Our little city is coming right to the front We are to have beautiful new court house at Linden. The new build ing will cost $30.0OO, and the site will be near the railroad about mile from the present location. Probate Judge Powell and Commissioners Miller, Walker and Chapmen have been to Montgomery in consultation with architects, and have also been down to Bay Minette and ex- amlned the court house down there. North Marengo is opposed to the new court house being built as they are de- sirous of having new County formed, with Demopolis as the county site. It is proposed to form this new County out of portions of Marengo, Hale, Perry, Sumter and Greene. The people of De- mopolis and North Marengo contend that this new County Is sure to come and that 1t is not fair to build the new court house at Linden at this time and force them to have to pay taxes to build two new court houses. as that is what they will have to do when the new County is formed. Judge Powell says that the Com missioners Court proposes to issue the bonds and build the hourt house any way. It would seem that the town Of Linden will move toward the depot by the site for the new court house being located near the railroad"

Rhodes Did 1t.

Memphis, August 5.-(Special )-Bir mingham's best batters could not touch Rhoades and that is primarily the cause of the defeat in the first of the series with the local pennant chasers today. Both Rhoades and Wilhelm pitched in a fashion that would win great majority of games. but Wilhelm lost temporary control of the ball in the fourth and Memphis registered two runs, which gave them lead which was never overcome. Knoll, the first up, had two strikes called walk. Valdois bunted successfully be- tween veitch and Wilhelm and Lauzon's sacrifice advanced both runners a base. McKevitt was given his base on balls and Wilhelm did the same for Handiboe. which forced Knoll over the plate with the first run Bussey followed with a bunt and Valdois scored while Bussey was thrown out at first. Moss allowed valdois' hot grounder to carom off into left in the sixth and McKevitt followed with two-bagger, scoring the third run. Lauzon's triple and McKevitt's sin gle in the eighth brought in the fourth.
 Birmingham's only run was made by McDevitt, who reached first on Valdois' tumble, was advanced a base on Get fingers out and scored on Kalkhoff's sin gle to center LaRocque hit in hard luck, his drive to right under ordinary circumstances would have resulted for three bases. but Ffroerer, assisted by the wind, made a miraculous catch.

Parele1ing the Opportunity afforded by the August Furniture Sale of 1901
 with that of 1900.
SIT; ST; . E;:;' OVEMAN, $ s'; ; E. 5;;s;. 5;5
 JOSEPH & LOEB.

Two or three customers have displayed a bit of skepticism about the durability ot the special purchased furniture---expresSed their confidence concerning our regular stock, but when it came to the special purchased furni- ture there was an air of skepticism. It wasn't more than that, for their confidence in us is pretty thoroughly implanted, and they could not really bring themselves to believe that we would buy anything but good furniture.
 But there was that air of doubt as to the fact of the special purchased furniture being so good as our regular stock.
 That explains this explanation:
 The special purchased furniture is as good in every respect as our regular stock; when MT. Lovennan bought furniture for this sale his first care was as to the reliability and service ability of the furniture.
 No matter how cheap it was, if 1t wasn't a thing to be depended on he wouldn't have it.
 The policy of the department was adhered to when smaller prices would have tempted others to depart from this admirable rule of ours-but the broad principle that dominates this furniture department has never been de- viated from since the birth of the department the principle is not so much to try to get fur niture at less cost (there is the fear of miss ing workmanship as to get better furniture than the same money last bought.
 In this August Furniture Sale the new fur niture emphasizes this fact For instance, here are some dningroom chairs for 75c In the August Sale last year you did not get as good ones as these for 75c. We'd rather give you Ia great deal better chair for little more money than sell you an inferior chair which we might have bought so as to have sold for ooc-the difference in price is only I5c, but there is
