Bibb is All Right.

Mfr and Mrs. L. A. Nunnelee of Center vile are in the city on visit to rela- lives and friends. MT. Nunnelee is the editor of The Bibb County Press, and is naturally very jubilant over his county going for the new Constitution. He thinks that new era of prosperity will dawn on this fast growing county. The negroes of that county have been a great source of annoyance to the Democracy by hold ing the balance of power, but MT Nun- melee says that now the negro has been eliminated the white men of Bibb will all get together and fight out their little battles as to who shall hold the off, fees in Democratic primaries. and here after ''cuffy" will not be called in to ar bitrate between white men. When this Is done. Bibb will be coming up solidly in the Democratic column at the regular elections. MT. Nunnelee says that since railroads have penetrated into different sections of Bibb 1t is coming to the front as fast or faster than any county in Ala bama and predicts a great and glorious future for 1t.

Hotel Albert Changes.

The Hotel Albert changes hands this morning, Kornegay Bros. retiring. The Hotel Albert building was commenced in 1858 The contract for the brick work was done by General Shelley, if your corre- spondent has been rightly informed. The walls were put up to their full height of four stories, the roof was put on, the floors laid and then the war came on and the building was not completed. It stood in that condition until about 1890. when the Hotel Albert Company was organized,
 and large sum of money, something like Sl00 900, was raised and the building was completed and thrown open to the public in 1893. Miilspaugh & Co. being the lessees.
 This firm ran it five years, until Korne- gay & Go. took charge. The Albert Is a very handsome building being modelled after the palace of the Doges of Venice,
 and it's architecture is such that it would attract attention even in a large city. It is said that at some time of the day he sun shines into every room in the Albert.

CONTRACT FOR CHURCH
EDIFICE FOR FIRST METHo-
 DISTS OF SELMA.
Two Firms Have Been Compelled ts Give Up the Work-Money in Hand to Complete the
 Structure.
Advertiser Bureau,

GtIIfId, 4NONs oVs
 The Building Committee of the Church Street Methodist Church has terminated the contract for completing the church building. Homer &. Wolsencroft had the contract That firm recently made an as alignment and since then work on the structure has been suspended. The Build ing Committee will probably advertise for bids to complete the building. The last contractors, Houser & Wolsencroft. left the Building Committee in such financial condition that the church can easily be finished within the estimated cost. The original contractor threw up the job and the above firm had to make an assign ment, so it would seem that a third con- tractor will now have to take hold of the building and complete 1t.

If you have stricture. Gleet Chronic Gonorrhoea), Prostatc Disease, or any de rangement of the Urinary Organs, you will lind my rational mode of treating these pri- vate disorders superior in every respect to the old-fashioned methods that still in common use. It matters not how many times you may have been deceived or disappointed in searching for a cure, the results I obtain are invariably the same in all cases-they are per manent, satisfactory and quickly brought about
 The treatment I have devised for these dis orders after many years of patient invesuga- ton, insures thorough distribution of cer- tain medicaments over the entire surface to which my curative specifics are applied. It brings the medication in direct contact with the affected parts. it acts directly upon the stricture, dsintegrating its structure and dis solving it speedily and completely. A cure is effected without trouble or inconvenience; it is easily applied and safely and effectually reaches every part of the urethral canal. No germ of infection escapes its action and every trace of irritation promptly disappears The treatment Is based on sound principles and will appeal to your common sense as thor oughly practical and absolutely safe in its operation
