Alvin JosIIn.

This afternoon and tonight Alvin Joslin' will be the attraction at the Jeff ferson Theatre. Tn reviewing the per- formance the Charleston (S. O News and Courier said:
 The famous old rural comedy, Alvin Joslin," was presented at the Academy of Music twice yesterday, and each time it was before large and enthusiastic audi ence. Everybody, of course, knows all about the piece-its quaint humor, its touches of pathos, It's persecuted young woman, its double-dyed villain, It's melo- dramatic climaxes and its final exaltation of virtue over vice. It has been played many times wherever there is a play house, and 1t has to be very badly ren- dered. indeed. not to amouse and please many people. The company that produced 1t at the Academy of Music last night did so at popular prices, and 1t Is about the best organization of it's kind that ever appeared here for the same money, The piece is well staged and all of the parts are adequately taken. MT. F. Edward Daily, as Uncle Alvin" had the centre of the stage, as a matter of course, and he filled 1t very comfortably and pleasantly.
 Exactly how an organization of this kind can afford to play one-night stands at popular prices in the South Is more than some people can understand, but that Is matter for the management to determine If the management can stand at popular prices in the South is more given at the Academy last night was

A STRONG LETTER TO DR. HALL.

Stevenson. Ala, June 6, 1901. Dear Sir: have been a great sufferer from bladder trouble for two years and my case was of very serious nature compelling me to have several painful and dangerous operations. I have also taken many different remedies; I taken Swamp Root three years. Warmers Sale cure two years. and they only gave temporary relief.
 After having two operations and pre- pairing for the third, 1 saw your Texas Wonder advertised. and purchased a bot tie. And I got almost immediate relief. and have continued to improve every since.
 My doctors said my bladder had grow ed together in three places, and l was suffering almost death. No man living can say more than I can say for your Texas Wonder. And I call it a Worlds Wonder and I hope all who suffers will give a trial.
 Wishing you success. I am,
 Yours Truly,

PRODUCE MARKET
Of Birmingham Was Fairly Active
 Yesterday.

The country produce market was fairly active yesterday.
 The supply of Irish potatoes was just about sufficient to meet the de- mand. The selling price was $1.10.
 Sweet potatoes were abundant, but the price remained unchanged, the Cullman product bringing $1.75. It is not thought that sweet potatoes will keep up to the present quotation dur ing the rest of the fall.
 Cabbage starts off little dull. The price is still 1Ac pound.
 Eggs are scarce and in demand at 200, and chickens are likewise scarce. Alabama hens sell for BOG, Tennessee hens for 33c and large frying chickens for 271ac.

The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP Co.,, illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid laxa- tive principles of plants known to be incidentally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system.

There are at least 20 lost gold mines
In various parts of the world. Many
of them have yielded rich ores and
then have been deserted and entirely
lost.
There Is one In the north of the
Transyaal, for instance. that was dis
covered by accident. in the eighties by
two Englishmen. The finders had en-
camped one night and had, as they
thought, securely tethered their horses
when they suddenly heard loud neigh
from one of the animals and moment
later saw them both racing away ap-
parently N the greatest terror.
Soon after dawn they were up and
after an hours tramp found one of the
poor beasts lying on the ground with q
broken leg. In its struggles 1t had
kicked up the ground and had exposed
rich gold quartz only few inches be-
low the surface.
The two men marked the spot and
returned 10 the district a month later
TO start work ON the mine. But In
spite of all their efforts they could not
find the place. and TO this day the mine
has not been rediscovered.
In the late seventies there was ire
mendous excitement in California
when a prospector described n gold
mine he had found. A party soon pre-
pared to set out, with the discoyerer Of
the mine as guide, but the mine has
never been discovered, though thou
sands of dollars have been spent in
prospecting for it.-Stray Stories.
