Your heart beats about sixty thousand times a day. Every drop of blood in your veins visits every part of your body about five hundred times each twenty four hours. Is it any wonder that many troubles arise when the blood is not right?
 Is it hard to understand why health quickly returns when you take remedy like Dr. Harters Iron Tonic, a remedy that purihes and enriches the blood?

RAILROAD INTO CLAY.
Alabama Pyrites Company Will Con-
 struct a Line.


 Ashland, May 2O.-(Special.)- )-Every- thing points to an early construction of a railroad into this county, the Ala bama Pyrites Company having had survey made for a road from Talladega to their mines, which are seven miles north of this place. In the mean time the company is piling up vast amounts of ore (pyrites). Indeed, if 1t continues at the present rate. it will soon have enough ore mined to pay for the construction of the road. No one knows just how much ore it owns on its land, but 1t is known that the ore in sight is worth several millions of dollars. This property is far better than any gold mine in this county. If the Louisville and Nashville Railroad builds a line to Alexander City, it seems that the mineral wealth of this county would induce it to build the road to this section.
