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.

 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 1t world 8 wonder and I hope all who suffers will give a trial.
 Wishing you success, am yours truly,

The Second Annual Oil Painting Exhibit
 Draws to CIOse===NeW Prices.

We have just received permission from the owners of those pictures to sell them at a scale of prices which we suggested.
 These pictures on exhibit have won praise from all the critics In Alabama and great many have expressed their desire to purchase.
 At our own suggestion, we advised them to await the result of our effort to induce the owner to accept smaller prices, for our first duty to the people of Alabama is to supply them with what they want tat the feast possible price, we need not stop here to point out the innumerable instances that we were able to supply you at less than the ruling price elsewhere) And so we have been cores bonding, and just as 1t would seem that we might possibly fail to save admirers of these pictures money, here comes the glad news of the owner finally acquiescing to the scale of new prices suggested in the interest of our customers
 Come and get thepicture you have been admirlng at your own price.
