There is more Catarrh in this section Of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by T. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, o., is the only constitutional cure on
tho market. II is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the

Good thing some men are married. Their wives keep sensible watch over them, and have a way to help overcome their troubles.
 MT. E. Lewis of Shaniko. Ore, was located for several years at various points in South America, and fell into the na- tive custom of frequently drinking coffee. He says: T took to using it the same as those nervous, excitable people in South and Central America. They make very black coffe and it becomes more or less an intoxicating beverage. At the end of about four months. began having severe sick headaches and nervousness, but supposed 1t was fIom the tropical sun At last my wife became alarmed at my headaches and stomach trouble She tried to induce me to quit drinking coffee, laying my trouble to that, but con tinued to use 1t.
 She read of Postum Food Coffee, and ordered some from the States, but kept it a secret from ma. The very first time she made 1t. when I came in for Tny eof- fee and roll. I noticed that peculiar, pleasant flavor of POstum and asked her what 1t was She said it was a new brand of coffee and asked me how I liked 1t. tried two crps of 1t with rich 1.eche-de- Cheua' which is used by everyone as milk ir Panama, and thought it excel lent. After a couple of days. my head aches stopped, and in a short while my nervousness disappeared as if by magic. I have been using nothing but Postum for the past year. and have been com pletely cured, and my wife has also been cured of constipation by changing tc Postum. and we shall never go back to coffee again. -

 wiiber Mahan, the negho who engaged in duel with J. P. Campbell on the Sum- merfield road Saturday, was arresteda | his home near Summerfield yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Townsend and brought to the city. BHe Is now in the county jail.
 The negro was in bed at his home when arrested being too badly wounded to es- cape. He was placed on cot in wa gon and was brought to the city, the wagon being driven very slowly so as to give him as little pain as possible. Two wagon loads of negroes followed the wa gon in which the wounded man was brought to the city, drawn by curiosity. The wounded negro in jail this morning seemed to be cheerful for a man whose anatomy had been so thoroughly perfo- rated with lead. One of MT. Campbell s balls had gone through his left leg just above the ankle. There was another hole about six or eight inches higher up on the same leg, going through the calf of that member. MT. Campbell also put a third ball through his left knee, and that was the shot that caused the negro to limp so as he tried to run of to the woods, after scrambling through a wire fence. Two balls passed through his left arm, one through his hand and the other through his wrist. The last shot and the most dangerous one that the me- gro received, struck him near the breast bone, near the throat. This ball came in a very close shave of hitting the jugular vein. He is suffering a good deal from soreness but the chances are thatshe will get well in a couple of weeks.
 MT. Campbell is not seriously hurt, but was around the streets all day Saturday and Sunday, his arm being in a sling. It will be two or three weeks before the negro is able to stand his preliminary examination.

Dr, Mitchell's Birthday.

On Wednesday next Dr. A. H. Mitchell the venerable Methodist minister of Sum- merfeld, will celebrate his ninety-sixth birthday, and will keep open house on that occasion for the purpose of receiv- ing the congratulations of his friends on having reached such a ripe age. Dr. Mitchell, though old in years and getting feeble in body, still takes an active in terest in all that transpires around hip, and whenever he comes to Selma is al- ways the center of group of interested listeners.
 He is one of the landmarks connecting the present generation with the past. B e was born in Georgia and a few years ago he took his son and went back and visit ed the scenes of his childhood. The reco'- lcctions of the past came back to him most vividy, and while he was too old to climb down a steep bluff and drink out of we'll known spring that had slaked his thirst in the joyous days of boyhood, he sent his son down and made him fetch him gourd of water.
 Dr. Mitchell joined the Methodist Church when he was quite young and has been a minister of the gospel for over seventy-fiye years. He built the school building at Summerfeld, now occupied as an Orphans Home, and was the Presi-
 
 The building was erected in 1s4S. but the war impoverished the splendid citizen ship that supported the school and il went down. For over fifty years he has lived in a circle around Summerfield. He was pastor of the First Church ot Selma for a period of years away back in the fifties, and has been presiding ell l der of the circuit a Aumber of times Dr. Mitchell is greatly respected and reverenced by all who know him. On Wednesday next a number of the citizens of Selma will drive out to the old gentleman's home at Summerfield to pay their respects He has been on the superanuated list of preachers for num- Der of years, but still takes a deep in- terest in the Orphans Home and the work of the church in his neighborhood A suitable token of esteem will be pre- scented by Selma Methodists on Wednes.

Sues Teleeraph Companv.

A suit has been filed in the City Court by Cromeline Levy against the Western Union Telegraph Company for s1s5Oo for the failure to deliver a telegram. Mrs. devy telegraphed her husband from Bir- mingham that their baby was danger ously i'll and the bill ayers that the .tele- gram was not delivered. The telegram was directed to ''Mr. Levy and was signed Mrs Levy" and the bill ayers that the telegraph company knew that the telegram was meant for John w. Levy.
 The telegraph company will set up as a defense that a telegram directed to MT. Levy and signed by Mrs. Levy. is not specific enough and that it was impossi- ble to find which MT. Levy was meant.
 Good legal talent is employed on both sides of the question and a hard legal fight is expected to develop over the non- delivery of the telegram.
