Probably no couple begins life with
more heartfelt good wishes of the
community than oul excellent Sheriff,
Jesse T. Mills, and his fair bride, Miss
Alice Allen. daughter of our pioneer
citizen, George s. Allen. The happy
event took place Sunday, at 10 80 A.
NJ, and the wedding trip begun that
day, was part of an official visit to
California. The bride will, however,
remain in Portland while "Jesse" goes
on to perform his no less imperative,
but less congenial duties. Both of
the high contracting parties are ma
tives of our county and it has been
their home from childhood. If good
wishes promote happiness the yonng
couple will want no other paradise.

Fake Story Printed About Malcolm Nc Crea, Said To Be of Blrmlnu-

The following special dispatch from De- troit, Mich, appears in the Cincinnati In- quirer:
 Malcolm McCrea, student of the Uni- versity of Virginia, a football player and the son of Birmingham, Ala, million aire, has for the past few days been a waiter In one of the cheap restaurants of this city. He left tonight for his Southern home McCrea tells his own story-how he got to going the pace, then had fam fly row and started for himself. Tn De- troit he was dead broke and hungry, struck for a job as waiter and got it. Then he was taken down i'll, went to the hospital wired his father for money and the an- swer came back that the fatted calf will be killed.
 Il I shall stop off day in Cincinnati and see some college chums and buy some clothes and then go home the young man said.
 ''McCrea Sr., owns two large blasting furnaces In Birmingham, and has his own coke oven and lime kiln"
 There is no Birmingham millionaire by name of McCrea, and the description of the quondam waiter of Detroit cannot apply to any young man here.
 There are sons of wealthy Birmingham men, but they are all .'present or &C., counted for" as the military phrase goes. But who is this Birmingham young man?

ASHCRAFT LIKES
 SOLICITOR PLAN
 - Says it Can be Termed a Good
 Moral Advance PEOPLE SHOULD ELECTTHEM He Says They Make Mistakes Some times Tn Choosing the Prosecut- Ing Attorneys, But as Rule
 They Are Right.
PLESAoUL0 ElECTTHtM

Montgomery, August 7.-(Specal.)- speaking today to representative of the Age-Herald as to the change in the man ner of electing solicitors, John T. Ash craft of Lauderdale, who is the author of the plan adopted by the convention, said it would be of great benefit to the ooun- ties
 "rhe action of the convention said Mir Ashcraft, ''in inaugurating county solicitors, and permitting them to be elected by the people, is a significant moral advance. A careful comparison of the work done by county solicitors with that of circuit solicitors will show that the percentage of convictions is in favor of county solicitors. Let them be. elected by the people, and the moral element of Alabama will feel fresh sense of respon- sibility and steadily make itself felt for good. Moral forces do not assert them- selves systematically. Immoral forces do.
 "The county solicitor, being a resident, feels the uplift of the moral forces dur ing the vacations of the court, knows the forces of evil and Is prepared to respond intelligently when the court convenes.
 ",rhe circuit solicitor comes periodically and finds the immoral forces on their best behavior and their friends in the most obliging mood. He is a stranger to the moral element, which approaches him delicately, if at all
 "The obligation of eleoting a solicitor being laid upon the people in the county they will bring under review the fitness of candidates. Who will say that when aroused to sense of responsibility the moral forces in any county in this State will not prevail? They may fail some times, but not often.
 ''The proposed new system will bring great economy, as there are now seventy nine solicitors in this State including circuit, county city and deputy solicitors. Several circuit solicitors have practically nothing to do, as the counties in the cir cult have their own solicitors"

place, because Peruna Is Q systemic rem edy. Breaches the disease through the circulation in each organ. It eradicates the disease by eradicating it from tho system.
 Peruna eradicates catarrh from the system in the same way that the ptacti- cal farmer eradicates weeds from hls fields. The sensible farmer does not think of cutting off the top of the weeds to kill them. He pulls them up by the roots.
 Dr. Hartman, the originator of Peruna, has used this remedy for the last forty years with great success as specific for catarrh.
 A free book written by him will be sent to any address. It contains the rec suits of his forty years experience with Peruna, and will be found of great inter est to those afflicted with catarrh of any organ of the body.
 MT. r. F. Bracket, Medford, Mass., writes;
 q have bottle of Peruna and Mana- lin in use in my house two-thirds of the time. If I take it when feeling little 1nd1sposeu lt prhoee ih0 ii6n' oP, anu keeps me in such fine condition that don't catch cold, and that is life and happiness to one of my business. l am A tea,nster. and when the membrane of my nose is swollen at night after driv- ing in our east winds and fogs, I take dose of Peruna on going to bed at night and get up all right in the morning. It also makes the blood circulate, and is sure death to rheumatism. ."--Mr. F. E.. Brackett.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to pr. Hartman, giving 8 full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

 Silverware none finer anywhere sterling, solid and plated, according to your desires and your purse. \ But in the center of the store we have another kind of jewelry. Sometimes 1t is called ''summer jewelry," because people use it when they go away from home, in- stead of real gems, which they fear might get lost.
 Plated jewelry is worn frankly by peo- pie who can, afford far better, and we have perhaps the fullest and best line of imitation jewelry anywhere to be found.
 Besides imitation jewelry there are combs and brushes mounted with silver at remarkably small prices. The silver, to be sure, doesn't weigh much, though in the regular jewelry store we have the heavy solid silver mounted things.
 In other departments are many things accounted luxuries not so long ago which are fast becoming necessities.
