The DECATURS ARE
ON BUILDING BOOM
MANY BUILDINGS BEING ERECTED
AND A NEW STREET CAR CON-
PANY WILL BE CONSTRUCTED.
NEW NATIONAL BANK NOTES.

New Decatur. September 24-(special1-
The first money issued by the Morgan
County National bank went into circula-
ton today. This bank was organized only
a few months ago and grew out of the
private banking house of Bib and Hoff
The change was made to a national bank
on account Of the great increase in bus
mess.
The two Decaturs are experiencing the
greatest building boom ever seen here,
or at least for many years. A leading
contractor says that during the past
twelve months $50 dwelling houses have
been built at an average cost of 1880 or
a total OF s22500 During the same time
fully 100000 more has been spent on the
erection of business blocks. yet today 1t
is difficult to find a desirable residence or
business house for rent. A majority Of
the residences recently built have been
erected by the Louisville and Nashville
railroad shop mechanics, or train men,
for their own use.
Besides the above buildings spoken Of
the Louisville and Nashville railroad
company are spending many thousand
dollars on the enlargement of their shop
which will be completed about November
l and will give employment to nearly 1000
extra men.
]. T. Grass and associates will soon
commence the construction of an cleo
trio street railway, which will reach
all parts of the two Decaturs, and will
cost about $4,000
1t is also thought that construction
work will commence within a few weeks
on the Central Of Alabama railroad,
which is to be built from New Decatur to
Jasper.
Several factories are seeking locations,
and the present outlook would indicate
that there Is little doubt but that the
two Decaturs will have a population of
10000 within the next two years
Thomas E. Baker and Miss Estelle Nor
row were married at o'clock this after
noon at the First Presbyterian church,
the Rev. j. 8. Parke, pastor of the
church, officiating. They left this after
noon for Pine Bluff, Ark, where they will
spend ten days.
Miss Morrow is a daughter of T. G.
Morrow. local agent for the Southern
railroad. She is one of the leading bellies
of the Decaturs.
Mr.. Baker is a son of Capt r. P
Baker, ex-mayor and one of the oldest
residents of the city.
For many years he has been employed
by the Louisville and Nashville railroad.

WORN OUT, DRAGGED OUT,
Are Most Women in Summer---Pe-ru-na is
Tonic Of Efficiency

JOSEPHINE MORRIS, 2S6 Carroll St,
Brooklyn, N. z, writes:
'Peruna Is a fine medicine to take any
time Of the year. but I have found 1t es-
pecially helpful to withstand the wear
and tear of the hot weather. 1 have
taken 1t now for two summers and feel
that it has kept my system free from
malaria and also kept me from having
that worn-out dragged-out look which
SO many women have.
II therefore have no hesitancy In say
ing that I think it is the finest tonic in
the world Josephine Morris.
Peruna is frequently used as a mitiga-
ton of the effects of hot weather. What
bath is to the skin Peruna Is to the
mucous membranes. Bathing keeps the
skin healthy. Peruna makes the mucous
membranes clean and healthy. With the
skin and mucous membranes in good
working order hot weather can be with
stood with very little suffering.
Frequent bathing, with an occasional
use of Peruna is sure to mitigate the
horrors of hot weather. Many ladies
have discovered that the depression OF
hot weather and the rigors they have
been in the habit of attributing to ma
laria quickly disappear when they use
Peruna. This is why Peruna is so popu-
lar with them. Peruna provides clean
mucous membranes, and the clean mu-
eOus membranes do the rest.

from Kentucky, writes from the National
