The Mercy Home.

The managers of the Mercy Home will keep open house at the home on Friday. April 19, from 10 to o'clock, which VIII be the third anniversary since the open ing of the new home. The day has hith- erto been observed by a linen reception, but on Friday the board makes re- quest that all those who attend the re- ception, who feel so disposed, will make a money contribution. The expenses of the home for the past winter make 1t nec- essary for the board to ask for some financial assistance from the public. The building has been undergoing some very needed repairs and this entailing addi- tional expense, and together with the large family sheltered this winter in the home, has greatly increased the expenses
 The board does not give entertainments for the benefit of the home and does not often call upon the public for financial aid. The request just made should be generously responded to and the visitors to the home next Friday should gladly contribute to its maintenance. The home will be open to the public from 10 to o'clock.

REMARKABLE SUCCESS
Of a New catarrh Cure.

A large and constantly increasing ma- jority of the American people are catarrh sufferers. This is not entirely the result of our changeable climate, but because modern investigation has clearly proven that many diseases. known by other names, are really catarrh. Formerly the name catarrh was applied almost exclu- sively to the common nasal catarrh, but the throat. stomach, liver. bladder, kid neys and intestines are subject to ca tarrhal diseases as well as the nasal pas sages.
 In fact, wherever there is mucous mem brane there is feeding ground for ca tarrh.
 The usual remedies inhalers, sprays touches or powders. have been prac- tically failures. as far as anything more than temporary relief was concerned, be- cause they simply drp up the mucous se- cretions, without having the remotest ef- feet upon the blood and liver, which are the real sources of catarrhal diseases It has been known for some years that the radical cure of catarrh could never come from local applications. but from an internal remedy. acting on the blood and expelling the catarrhal poison from the system.
 new internal preparation which has been on the market only short time has met with remarkably success as a genu- inc, radical cure for catarrh.
 IL may pc 1Ound Tn any drug store, sold under the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tab let's large pleasant tasting lozenges, com posed principally of antiseptic ingredi- ents Eucalyptol. Guaiacol Sanguinaria. Hydrastin and similar catarrh specifics
 Dr. Ainslee in speaking of the new ca- tarrh cure says: q have tried the new catarrh remedy. Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets, upon thirty or forty patients with
 remarkable satisfactory results. They clear the head and throat more effectually and lastingly than any douche or inhaler that I have ever seen. and although they are what Is called a patient medicine and sold by druggists, ] do not hesitate to recommend them as I know them to be free from cocaine and opiates. and that even little child may use them with en- tire safety"
 Any sufferer from nasal catarrh, throat or bronchial trouble. catarrh of the stomach. liver or bladder will find Stuart's Catarrh Tablets remarkably eff fective. pleasant and convenient. and your druggists will tell you they are ab- solutely free from any injurious drug.

He will give his Chatauqua and Pan-American lecture on Thursday, o'clock p. m.. April IS, in the dining hall of the Florence Hotel.
 This lecture Is illustrated by stereopti- can views, thereby rendering 1t more in teresting and instructive. This work of the Chatauqua Bureau Is always free, being done to advertise the Chatauqua work in general. But jealous workers of the Hillman Hospital building fund have arranged to charge small admis' sion fee. 25 cents for adults, 10 cents fol children they to receive every cent oi the gross proceeds.

son. with his indomitable will and splen- did talent and common sense, count for much. Commencing several years ago in single rented room to publish books on his own account he Is now the head of a house whose status Is an honor to Vir- ginia. Richmond owes this institution not alone to the energy and enterprise of MT. Johnson, but also to the fact that there were in her borders men willing to en- ploy their time and money and influence to foster an enterprise which would be a support and benefit to a fellow citizen while 1t was factor In the upbuilding of their beautiful city, and a nourisher of the sinews of educational industrial and commercial development.
 We need many things besides publish ing houses" said a gentleman to the writer. "We need better farmers fac- tories, good cattle. packing houses-we need to go to work" Yes, emphatically we need all these-but are not they the outcome of quickened intelligence, of that faith in ourselves and self-respect that come from the true record given by those ho speak the language of our hearths and homes of that cooperation one with an- other and all for the country that Is seen in the lives of Southern patriots faithfully portrayed in the histories and biographies of the B.

We must not be as far from one another as the East Is from the West. as unknowing Of the resources of the land, as unregarding of the potentialties of the children of the soil as aliens and strangers are. Let Ala bama emulate Virginia. There the veterans and the Daughters Of the Con federacy commenced the agitation for Southern books in Southern schools. fol- lowing up the agitation with persistent effort The Womens clubs joined the patriotic labor. Today they have such a revised list of school books as eliminates the unfair and partial histories and puts the truth in every grade. and they have house of their own to publish their books.
 In the readjustment of the gauge Of responsibility made ever and anon in the South not they ho merely prate Of our part and sentimentalize over recon structed South and new made union, but they who give themselves to the need of the hour will rank first in citizenship
 The advisory committee on the reorgan- ization of the Virginia publishing house consisted of men distinguished by their abilities and services: F. T. D. Myers president of Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad: John Percell, J. Ellett--names identified with the states progress; and Joseph Bryan, editor of the Richmond Times. whose journalism IS demonstration that patriotism means ap- plication of the principles of honor to cur rent political issues.
 Much might be said of encourag agement, but the achievement itself Is stimulus to the men and women who are working TOT education in Alabama.

Wall Street Terms in Debate.

Stock market terms flash out at times in the New York Legislaturd and are readily understood, for many of the Senators and Assemblymen take flyer at times in Wall street, says an Albany correspondent in the New York Tribune. It is suspected that brokers are aware of this habit of the Legislators, for two of the most conspicuous posts in the corridor be- tween the Senate chamber and the Assembly chamber are decorated
 every day with the stock market quo tations, and the long-distance tele- phone service is apparently employed
