EUFAULA
Governor Jelks Crowns Miss Johnston
 as Queen of the Fair.

Eufaula' November 16.-(Special) = The street tair in progress here is proving a success. The floral parade, headed by the King and Queen of the Carnival = Mir LawreTce Lightfoot and Miss Leila John ston-their maids of honor and attend ants, in open carriages and traps deco rated deliberately with flowers of various colors, presented most attractive scene.
 One trap was drawn by two snow-white hoi ses with gilded hoofs, the decorations pink and white, and another had trailing sprays of pink and blue morning glories. which were unique and artistic. The queens carriage was decorated in Ameri- can beauty roses and the kings draped Tn crimson and white. The outriders booted and spurred upon prancing steeds. looked truly knightly.
 The coronation of the queen took place at the opera house.
 Governor Jelks had been chosen by the queen to crown her. He preceded this ceremony with a few remarks, pronounc- ing Miss Johnston the most beautiful woman not only of Eufaula and Ala bama, but of all the states. Miss John ston was indeed picture of uueenly beauty. The maids, the little pages and flower girls, added greatly to the attrac- tiveness of the scene. The minuet danced by a half-dozen honored maids Tn Grecian costumes was the personifica- ton of gracefulness. The evening closed with german led by His Majesty, who is known at ''the King of Germans in this community. The musjc rendered by t..c bard from Bainbritge wss inspiring.

ELECTION PLEASING

OWES EMPLOYES BACK PAY

Huntsville, November 16.-The ratifica- tion of the new constitution will confer a great benefit upon the city of Huntsville by allowing an increased tax rate. For several months past the city has been getting deeper in debt and has not paid off employees for the past six months. The tax rate has not been sufficient to pay running expenses. The new constitu- tion promises immediate relief as under it's provisions this city is allowed to col- lect more taxes. The mayor and alder men of Huntsville see many things ahead of them now that would have been im- possible had the constitution been de- feated. New schools will be built and many necessary public improvements made. After a few months it is expected that the city will begin to pave streets with vitrified brick
 A new opera house in Huntsville is one of next seasons probabilities. Virginia capitalists have been in correspondence with local business men during several weeks past with a view of organizing a stock company to build an opera house. Such a company can De easily organized here.
 The well of the Madison oil Company at Blanche Tenn, is now 400 feet deep. The well is in solid rock from the sur face and experts believe that when the rock is penetrated, oil will be found in paying quantities.
 Washington Lodge No. l. Heralds of Liberty will move into it's new lodge room in the Strave building within few days. The lodge has fitted un what is believed to be the handsomest lodge room in Alabama. This is lne head quarters of the Heralds of Liberty and Washington Lodge has a model home which other lodges over the state will be expected to pattern alter.
 A new anti-rattler for vehicles that is said to be a good thing has been invent ed and patented by Thomas H. Pamphlin, young mechanic of this city. The inven- tion will be used on vehicles manufac- tured by a local concern.
 Huntsville merchants are still complain ing of dull trade for this time of the year. Nearly three-fourths of Madison s cotton has been disposed of and yet the expected stimulus has not been felt by local trade. This condition resulted from the pool among the cotton buyers, who made an agreement to pay from 25 to 50 points legs for cotton here than it is selling in neighboring towns. Before the operations of this pool were discovered trade was given severe blow, many hun dreds of bales having been hauled to other places to be sold. The pool has been broken up by competition, and nor nal conditions in the local business cir cles are returning.
 Messrs. w. I. Wellman, T. A. Pratt and other leading business men are ne- gotiating with eastern capitalists for an- other big cotton mill for this city. A free site and free water will probably be offered. and it is believed that the nego- tiations will be successful.

 'I had been suffering severely from kidney trouble. All symptoms were on hand; my former strength and power had left me; 1 could hardly drag myself along. Even my mental capacity was giving out and often I wished to die. It was then I saw an advertisement of yours in a New York paper but would not have paid any attention to it had it not promised a sworn guarantee with every bottle of your medicine. asserting that your Swamp-Root Is purely vegetable and does not contain any harmful drugs. 1 am seventy years and four months old, and with a good conscience I can recom- mend Swamp-Root to all sufferers from kidney troubles. Four members of my family have been using Swamp-Root for four different kidney diseases, with the same good results.
 With many thanks to you, I remain,
 Very truly yours.
