Historic Tuscaloosa
 And Its Rapid Growth

the State for the culture of it's graduates The occasion was a pupils recital, and as the young students so gracefully enter tained the large audience one could but think of old time debates between fiery legislators who once made laws there
 Speaking of colleges this certainly is college city. After the girls did their entertaining, members of one of the fraternities at the University gave a dance elsewhere. Ther is also another female college here-one under the an- spices of the Methodist church. Culture and learning is everywhere manifest
 I said above that modern industrial ideas and business were driving away thoughts of past grandeur and history. This is well illustrated by "Sox City" a neighborhood where a knitting mill gives employment to 300 people and makes many pairs of hose.
 The same thought is also well illus trated by the work being done on the new Mobile and West Alabama Railroad. At recent meeting definite decision to build the line was made. It will run from Mobile to Florence. The line was the original thought of a member of the State Legislature. It was begun at the States expense and the first survey was paid for out of the Alabama treasury When appropriation was made by the Legislature. Maj. w. J. Miner in 1884, was chosen chief engineer He com pleted his work. but the plan was lost in some way. The new company pur- poses building that same line. It will be run over the old plot, except from here to Florence. MT. Woolsey Finnell is chief engineer of the work, and yesterday watched him make the first profile of ] his survey.
 r,x-- naces and the other new industries being started here are all but added signs of the trend of time-the trend that is mak- ing Tuscaloosa forget her historic im- portance under the Influence of the new boasting commercialism.
 Few now live in the memory of what has been, 30 busy are they in solving the problem of what win be-
 Among the business houses attracting visitors attention here are the Snow Shoe Company, the J. G. Blair Coal Company. the contracting firm of M. Mable & Co.,, the factories of Roseneau Brothers, and the photograph establishment of c. R.. Turner.
 Perhaps the most complete and largest photograph establishment in the state is that of MT. Turner. He has a building arranged exclusively for the purpose of making photographs. Recently he has been in New York studying all the new features of his art.
 The Roseneaus control the Tuscaloosa mills and the Roseneau knitting mills, both of which are very complete and give employment to 700 persons.
 MT. J. G. Blair is principal owner of a large coal company, and Is also interested in other business. He is one of the most substantial business men In Tuscaloosa
 The Snow Shoe Company has the only exclusive shoe store in the city. The firm is father and son, and estimable business men.

STANDARD GROCERY COMPANY.
A Combination of Two Strong Whole.
 sale Grocery Concerns.

The wholesale grocery firm of Veitch SS Young and the Standard Grocery Com pany have consolidated and will begin op- erating under the name of the Standard Grocery Company the first of February.
 The paid up capital stock of the com pany Is s500OO
 make an exceedingly strong company. The purpose of the consolidation is to combine the capital and experience of the two firms, thereby enabling them to min imize expenses and to expand their busf- ness to a greater extent. It is the pur- pose of the company to personally super intend each department and to give their undivided time and attention to each de- tail of their business.
 The growth of these two firms In the past has been marvellous and is a note worthy sequence of their business thrift and integrity. This is especially true of the Standard Grocery Company, which has paid its stockholders over 100 per cent each year it has been in business. From the past record of the consolidated concerns it seems that future success is assured.
 The officers of the firm are:
 J. W. Young, president
 W. H. Pruitticher, vice-president.
 Carlos veitch, secretary.
 R. s. England, treasurer.
 The company will occupy the store house now occupied by veitch & Young which was the old store of the Simmons Durham Grocery Co.,, on Morris Avenue and Twenty-first street.

 If the organs are in a clogged condition.

 Pudging is not what is needed. The

 Hated. 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 secre- tion 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 work 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 common sense medicine and a common sense treatment and it will cure every time.

SCHOOL HOUSE
 AT LOTHIAN BURNS
FIVE HUNDRED THROWN OUT OF SCHOOL FOR PRESENT-BUlLD- ING WAS VALUED AT ABOUT $2o,ooo.

Dothan, January 1S.-(Speciai.) = The large two-story school building at this place was entirely destroyed by fire this evening at o'clock. The fire was past control when the fire department arrived, and in less than an hour the building, which was one of the incest in this part of the state, was total ruin.
 The fire Is supposed to have caught from a defective furnace. as the flames were first discovered on the ground floor. The building was finished three years ago at cost of from $15o00 to $20,00O, and was covered with about $7S00 insurance.
 The destruction of the building throws over 800 children out of school for the present, but 1t is thought that temporary quarters will be arranged at once where the teachers will resume their work un- til another building Is completed. Work will begin on a new building as soon as arrangements can be made. It Is possi- ble that a much larger building will go up on the same site as the old one was inadequate for the accommodation of the children.
