Birmingham Man May Be Appointed

Much local interest is eentered in the
appointment of railroad commissioners
to be made by the governor early in the
new year.
The terms of two of the commissioners
will expire in March, and one of them, A.
e. Caffee, having removed from the
state, some new man will necessarily
have to be appointed to The position now
held by him.
1t is understood that the governor has
already received applica, ms from half
a hundred. representing several counties
of the state, for this position.
Jefferson county has at least three ap-
plicants at present. in the sense that their
friends have sent letters of recommended
lions to Governor Jelks.
A gentleman who is very close to the
state administration, said the other day,
in discussing the probable action of the
governor in the appointment of railroad
commissioners:
Il make the prediction in the appoint
ment of railroad commissioners that the
governor win be inclined to appoint a
Birmingham man.
THE appointments will be made from
business mea, rather than from among
the politicians. If Birmingham should
offer a broad-minded and successful BUSH
ness man, ore who is a representative of
the business interests, he will probably

NOBODY Is EXEMPT.
A New Preparation Which Everyone
VIII Need Sooner or Later.

Almost everybodys digestion is disor-
dered more or less, and the commonest
thing they do for it is to take some one
of the many so-called blood purifiers,
which in many cases are merely strong
cathartics. Such things are not needed.
If the organs are in a clogged condition
they need only a little help and they
will right themselves Cathartics irri-
tate the sensitive Innings of the stomach
and bowels and often do more harm than
good.
Purging is not what is needed. The
thing to do is to put the food in condi-
ton to be treated readily digested and
assimilated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
do this perfectly. They partly digest
what is eaten. and give the stomach just
the help 1t needs. They stimulate the
secretion and excretion of the digestive
fluids and relieve the congested condition
of the glands and membranes. They put
the whole digestive system in condition
to do its York. When that is done you
need take no more tablets, unless you
eat what does not agree with you. Then
take one or two tablets-give them needed
help and you will have no trouble.
It's a commonsense medicine and a
commonsense treatment and 1t will cure
every time. Not only cure the disease
but cure the cause. Goes about 1t in
perfectly sensible and scientific way.
We have testimonials enough to fill a
book but we don't publish many of them
However, Mrs. e. M. Faith, of Byrd's
Creek, Wis, says
at have taken all the Tablets I got
of you and they have done their work
well in my case, for feel like different
person altogether. don't doubt If 1 had
not got them I should have been at rest
by this time"
H. E. Willard, Anslaw, Ia, says: 'Mr.
White of Canton was telling me of your
Dyspepsia Tablets curing him of Dyspep-
STA from which he suffered for eight
years. AS I am sufferer myself 1 wish

The New Year.

Today is the last Sunday of the old
year. Wednesday might will witness the
passing of the old and the advent of the
new, the last gasping breath of 1902 and
the birth of 1903
This week thousands will make New
Years resolutions; few of them may
be adhered to, but it is safe to presume
that the great majority will be broken.
The politician will resolve to find new
schemes; the husband will resolve to be
bitter than in the past; the mother will
resolve to make home brighter; the lover
of money will resolve to devise plans for
the speedier filling of his Golfers; the
poor man will resolve to live more con-
tentedly. And so on through the whole
category, resolutions will be made.

New Wagon for Street Department.

Street Commissioner John McCartin
has received new wagon for the street
department of Birmingham. The COM
missioner has not yet put the wagon in
use, as he insists that it is too small to
be used in a large city. 1t was a present
to the commissioner, and he found it on
his desk Christmas morning. Attached to
the wagon was horse. and the words
"City Streets" appeared on both sides
of the wagon bed.
The new addition to the street depart
ment, at a guess could hold probably a
quarter of pound of dirt. AS for the
horse. that wooden animal you'd have
to be exchanged for one in which more
life existed.
At any rate the street commissioner is
thankful for the present and will keep it
on display In his office in the city hall.
