Several months ago The Advertiser published "a story to the effect that the Seaboard Air Line would secure a West ern outlet by going to Birmingham by way of the Union Springs and Northern The latter road is running at present from Union Springs to Fort Davis on the Montgomery branch of the seaboard Air Line. and the story was that from Fort Davis the Union Springs and North ern would be extended to Millstead, the Tallassee junction of the Western. and from there into Birmingham.
 Yesterday Mir. Paul W. Pope, General Freight and Passenger Agent of the Union Springs and Northern. spent the day in Montgomery in the interest of his road.
 We are doing bigger business than even was expected" said MT. Pope, and while we are not controlled by the Sea- board yet our road Is the best feeder that the Seaboard has In this section of the country. During the past cotton sea- son our road has turned into the coffers of the Seaboard 5000 out of cotton ship ments alone, and with our increased facil- will be greatly exceeded next season. Next September the road will be extended from Fort Davis to Millstead, a distance of twenty miles. and from Mlllstead the plans are to extend to Birmingham. Sur time and the route from Fort Davis to Millstead Is practically laid out. A corps of surveyors will very soon be put in the field locating the route between Mill stead and Birmingham-about 100 miles and by next September the work of build- ing the extension will be commenced"
 This is exactly in line with The Adver- user's story of a few months ago. and while Mir. Pope claims that the Seaboard does not control the Union Springs and Northern yet he admits that the traffic arrangements between the two are ex- tremely close.
 When the extension of the Union Springs road is completed from Mill stead to Birmingham the Seaboard can get from Montgomery to Birmingham or Savannah to Birmingham. From Bir- mingham they can get into Atlanta over the East and West Railroad and from Atlanta to Richmond. Portsmouth, Wash ington and the East.
 The main object in Mir. Pope's visit to Montgomery yesterday, however was to perfect the passenger service that he inaugurated on his road last Monday two routes from Montgomery to Union Springs-one over the Seaboard and one over the Central of Georgia. passen- ger train over the Union Springs and Northern leaves Union Springs at 5:3o a. m: connecting at Fort Davis with here at 8 a. m.

Catarrh usually starts with cold in the head, and if left unchecked in this climate. rarely gets well of itself.
 As fresh cold is taken the disease spreads, getting deeper and deeper, creep ing along the mucous membranes from nose to throat, from throat to windpipe, to bronchial tubes and from bronchial tubes to lung cells.
 The mucous membranes all connect. one with another Hence it is easy to spread from one part to another lined with this same membrane. This Is why catarrh in the head soon affects the throat and finally the stomach itself, bringing on chronic catarrh of the stomach which is a most obstinate form of dyspepsia.
 Everybody is now well agreed that ca- tarrh is a blood disease and not a local one, and the attempt to cure by local ap- plicatIons simply gives temporary relief from the purely local symptoms without the remotest effect in staying the prog ress of the disease.
 There Is a new preparation recently of- fered to the public that is apparently des- tinsd to do away with every other form of catarrh treatment.
 This new remedy is not secret patent medicine but is large, pleasant tasting tablet composed of Bloodroot. Red gum from the Eucalyptus tree, and other val 0elbl6 anu Adi ihlCS6 0pSSliSSB eAA V taken internally and seems to have a remarkably beneficial effect upon the blood and mucous membranes. apparently eliminating the catarrhal poison from the whole system.
 These tablets, while being pleasant, con venient and absolutely safe to use have made cures in long standing cases of ca- tarrh that are little short of marvellous. They are sold by druggists under name of Stuart's Catarrh Tabalets, and any catarrh sufferer who has tried inhalers, lotions. ointments. salyes, etc, and re- alize their inconvenience and uselessness will fully appreciate the difference be- tween a mere palliative and permanent cure after giving Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets an impartial trial.
 All druggists sell them at 50 cents for full sized package and no matter where the catarrh is located. in the head. throat, lungs or stomach, Stuast's Catarrh Tab lets will surprise you with the effective result of even a few days use.

moneys are made payable on the requisition

Quoting their negotiations of all character

1t is intimated in District circles that the
amendment is the outcome of the differ

District auditor and the superintendent Of
street cleaning as to the settlement of ac-
counts involving two foremen and a clerk
in the cleaning department. At that time
and prior thereto Mr. Petty, the District
auditor, had handled all matters with the
