BOARD CHANGED ROAD
COUNTY MATTERS BEFORE THE
 BOARD OF. REVENUE.
Concurrence in the Petition of Mum erous Citizens-Secretary c. A. Allen Was Granted Leave
 Of Absence.

The Board of Revenue of Montgomery County at yesterdays meeting voted to charge the road which runs from the CccsaAa Ferry, on the Alabama River, to the Lower Wetumpka road at Pickett E Spring. a distance of half a milo, so that it would be removed from the river bank
 A petition from many users of the road was presented to the Board month aga and Board of Appraisers was appoint ed to fix the damage that would result fl rom the change. The petitioners wanted the road moved because it ran along the river bank and huge gullies had been washed in it. The proposel change, Ii was claimed, reduced the distance from the Coosada road to tire Lower Wetumpka road about half a mile.
 The new road is to run partly through the land of Mrs. c. L. Teacher. and she opposed the change. She appeared yes terday before the Board with her attor- ney in an effoft to have the petition de- nied. E. w. Rives and other petitioners were also repT scented by counsel.
 The appraisers submitted their report to the Board w.lich was in favor of the pro- posed change in the road. The report said that whie the appraisers were of the opinion that Mrs. Teacher had sus- tained no damage by the removal of the road, it had nevertheless allowed her &5 which the petitioners were going to pay. The report was signed by Chares Chis- holm G. S. Wilson, H. NJ. Chisholm, C. H Thigpen, w. F. Marlborough.
 County Engineer Garrett, in answer to a request from the Board for his opinion said the road would never be of any great value, and neither the old nor the new road could be greatly improved. He believed that the change did not mate rially injure Mrs. Teachers property, and that $25 would cover that loss.
 The road was ordered moved in ac- cordsnce with the petition on motion oi MT. Dreyspring It will be moved with statute labor. and the county will have no part of the expense.
 The Board voted a months leave of ab- sence to Secretary Allen, to allow him to visit the springs for recuperation. His health has not been good lately. In his absence county warrants and checks will be drawn by W. D. Brown

STATE FEDERATION NEWS.
 Alabama,

7 The Club Woman of Boston, official organ of the G. T. w. C., has an editor from every federated State and from some States unfederated. The Alabama editor, Mrs. K. H. Morrisette says in the May number:
 Few are the club annals of Alabama sn the pfeseht year-ho oThe old committees are steadily pursuing their work. The new ones, Art and Household Economies are making efforts which belong to the initiatory stage.
 - '"fhe Alabama editor respectfully begs leave to suggest that broader and closer historical view of her own and of neigh boring States can be obtained by reading , two books written by an author who is Southern by birth. but cosmopolitan by career. These are The Southern States of the American Union,' and The Civil History of the Confederacy,' by Hon. J. L. M. Curry, published by B. r. John son & Co.,, of Richmond. Virginia. The pertinency of the suggestion lies in the fact, acknowledged by all. that the present of every land is rooted in it's past, and in another fact. equally ac- cepted, that nothing so brings all the citizens of every State into mutual un- derstanding and sympathy as does knowl- edge of the life and character of all by the citizens of each. While the feminine instincts of club women are seeking to bind us in General eFderation it may be well to add to our instincts knowledge, which in its completeness is often the forerunner of that charity which is 'the

He was a pathfinder; the others have simply walked in the roadway he made, and that. too, without any material improvements having been made in the methods. For several years before Laura came. to Boston pr. Howe had determined to attempt the education of the first child that was deaf, dumb, and blind that should come to his notice. In 1857 he heard that there was such a child up in the mountains of New Hamp- shire. and forthwith started to ascertain the facts in the case Playing around on the farm of her father he found Laura, who was then a pretty little girl of about six. To the father Dr. Howe's proposi- ton to take the child and try to educate her seemed wild. But the mother, a wo- man of considera ble natural ability, eagerly assented, and in a few days Laura was brought to the doctors home in Boston.

BIG BATCH OF ADVERTISING.
Live Representatives of Thacher
 Medical Company

Nathan R. Haymore and w. S. Davis of Chattanooga, Tenn, are in the city. Mir. Haymore is manager of salesmen and MT. Davis is special representative of Thacher Medical Company of that city. Mir. Haymore is making a tour of several of the Southern States. especially the larger cities and the most important points such al Atlanta. Ga; Charleston. s. C.; Jacksonville. Fla, and Montgom- cry.
 In speaking of Montgomery Mr, Hay more says this is one of the cleanest, incest kept cities he has visited and while there is no evidence of a boom there is a steady, healthy growth appar- ent all the time. Everything isl indica- tive of prosperity and there seems to be general forward movement along all lines.
 Mr. Haynore will spend a few days here In organizing some special advertis- ing his company is going to do in this city. Appreciating the importance of the field they have decided to concentrate their batteries on Montgomery in the way of systematic advertising through the press. They are great believers in sup plemental advertising also. and will place nice line in every home in the city, su- burbs and county
 This distribution is based upon the off cial record, thereby reaching the head Of every family. They are shipping this advertising in carload lots and are de- termined that every man, woman and child shall know of Thacher's remedies. especially their preparations. liver amt blood syrups. worm syrup and cholera mixture.

LOOKING FOR RECORDS
HON. THOMAS II. OWEN HAS
 BEEN TO WASHINGTON.
He Spent Ten Days There in Effort to Secure Data Concerning Alabama Soldiers and
 Talks of Trip.

Hon. Thomas M. Owen, Director of the State Department of Archives and His tory, who has been absent for ten days in Washington, D. C., has returned home. and was at his office in the Capitol yes terday. He was deeply absorbed in clear ing up his large accumulation of corre- spondence. During his absence number gallery of the department has been re- ceived. and these he was arranging and putting in place.
 MT. Owen reported very pleasant and profitable stay in the Capital City Of the Nation. As is known. he went to Wash ington principally to arrange to secure copies of the records of Alabamass troops in the war between the States. but he took advantage of his visit to do much valuable work in the Library of Congress. The library officials gave him every att tention, and he was enabled to obtain accurate information concerning the rare treasures stored away in this great book palace of the United States. Mir. Owen says he was particularly interested in the map the periodical, the State document and the manuscript divisions. and to their work and methods he gave special atten- ton.
 His work was not, however, confined to the library, but he spent considerable time in the department libraries, and also In the great collections of the National Muset m and the Corcoran Art Gallery As a large number of interesting objects of every character are constantly coming into the State Department ofArchives and History, MT. Owen found on examination of the methods in use in other collections of great value to him.
 Mir Owen, on being asked in reference to his success in arranging to. secure copies of Alabama's Confederate War Records. stated that the War Depart ment had the subject under advisement. and would in short time furnish his department with a statement as to the exact records for file, with an estimate of the cost for copying. MT. Owen was permitted to look in on the 'Coufed- crate Archives Division,' where are filed, in six large rooms, the various records in the possession of the Secretary of War pertaining to the Confederate States Gov ernment as we'll as those in reation to the personnel of the troops from the sev- eral States.
 The records of Alabama soldiers, Mir. Owen ascertained. are contained in eighty-six large boxes, but he was not permitted to make personal examination of any of them, as this Is strictly against the rules. even though the applicant be a State official. Only the trained clerks of the War Department are allowed to handle these valuable records.
 MT. Owen is unable to say how soon an estimate will be supplied but he will keep in close touch with the matter.
 Recognizing the great value of the work he has in hand for the State. the several members of the Alabama delegation in the Senate and House aided Mir. Owen in every way in the accomplishment of t'1is
