session of special rates and inform
alton concerning school furniture

of the various supply houses. Mr.
Moore also wishes us to state that
he is neither an agent nor does he
receive a commission on sales, but
that he can furnish the best in
formation as to where and what to
buy and the best rates obtainable.
He wants to impress directors par
ticularly with the fact that he re-
serves the right of refusing war
rants for the indiscriminate buying
of all sorts of supplies, sometimes
at exhorbitant prices. He does not
propose to buy the goods himself,
to direct you respecting these but
things.

Beat Her Out of $500.

A big hurley, stout negro hailing
from Birmingham, by the name OF
came to Union City
by agreement last Tuesday to visit
George Lees widow, Rosa Lee. 1t
is said he was an old acquaintance
and that lie and Rosa were to be
married, but however that may be,
one thing is certain: Rosa Lee is
now at home suffering from a loss
Of about $500 in cash. She had
turned over to him what money she
had in bank and an additional
amount from the sale of her place;
and arrangements were made to
move to another point. He pur-
suaded Rosa to go to Paducah
Junction and wait for him and he
would follow and meet her there,
but it is learned his trunk was
checked to Nashville and that he is
out of reach with his roll The
rascal got all she had but $195. He
not only got her money, but took
some clothing and diamond for
merly belonging to her husband, in
fact all he could get hold Of The
community, whites and blacks, are
much incensed over the affair, and
it is a mighty lucky thing for this
fellow that he got away.

How to Prevent Group.

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign OF
Group is hoarseness. A day or two
before the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by
peculiar rough cough. Give Chamber
1ain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even
after the rough cough appears, and it
will dispel all symptoms of Group. In
this way all danger and anxiety may
he avoided. This remedy is used by
many thousand of mothers and has
never been known to fail. It is, in
fact, the only remedy that can always
be depended upon and that is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by the

There Is only one place In the city
where liquor Is sold. 1t occupies two
adJetninG stores On the principals street.
There 10 hDsfeu In front of it, nor are
there any screens No drlnking Is IL
lowed on the premises minors cannot
purchase-there are no seats juoita1sr1
store. and people are not allowed to
hnger. Doors are opened at in the
morning and close at 6 in the evening.
You con buy from half pint to a bar
rel Of liquor, aud as often as you want,
but no liquor is sold to drunken men.
The polite manager told me that they
expected to clear about $23, 600 this
year, 40 per cent of which goes to the
county and so per cent to the city.
The c1ty's portion goes into the gen.
eral fund. The county's is divided
into three equal parts; one to disabled
Confederate soldiers living IN the
comfy; one to the country schools,
and the other to the roads.
Everybody in the county is interest
ed in breaking up any illicit whisky
selling, and it would be a hard matter
for a man to sell quart because they
know every gallon of whisky sold by
the dispensary will save them money.
1t seems to be impossible to prevent
people from drinking whisky and
other alcoholic stimulants, and it
might be well for the people OF our
state to seriously consider the question
as to whether it is not the best thing
for our large towns, under police pro-
lection, to buy pure liquor and sell it
in way least offensive.
Jackson would reap profit of not
less than $4,000 year il a similar
institution were located here. 1 do
not think there is any doubt that we
will have to choose in a very short
while between the open saloon and
the dispensary. If the blind tigers
are closed permanently, the people
| will vote for the open saloon.
These dispensaries have been estab-
lished in several towns in Alabama,
and in every instance they have work
ed in way to please the people; and
even now the larger cities like Birm-
ingham and Montgomery, Selma and
Huntsville, are clamOring for the dis
pensary, and each of these places will
probably get them next year. Birm-
ingham may be too strongly under
the influence of the saloon element to
take this step at once, but it is only
a question of time. You will note in
the accompanying clipping, taken
from the Tuscaloosa daily paper, the
report Of the dispensary for the month
of October, showing profit for that
month of almost %, 600.
Yours truly,
F. b. HULL.
