EXTRAORDINARY MERIT
Of a New Catarrh Cure.

Physicians are slow to take up new and untried remedies, until their value has been established by actual experiment. and they are naturally skeptical of the many new preparations constantly ap- bearing and for which extravagant claims are made
 The most liberal and enlightened physi- clans are always ready, however. to make a fair trial of any new specific and get at its true medical value.

Public Building Site.

Citizens are so confident that the bill for a public building in Selma will pass Congress and become law that they are already discussing a suitable site for the structure. The location most favorabiy mentioned Is the corner of Alabama ana Lauderdale Streets. formerly owned by Mrs. Love and now the property of MT. Eugene Robbins. It Is understood that MT. Robbins would dispose of this beau tiful lot for a public government build ing for $500. but 1t is not likely that the purchasing akent for the government would be willing to put that much money in a lot for the purpose indicated. In town the size of Selma s. 600 is about as high as the government is generally will ing to go, and if a suitable lot can be purchased at lower figure 1t is always done. The lot owned .by the city or Selma, corner of Selma and Franklin Streets, has been suggested as a most suitable place and if no other lot can be had 1t is more than likely that the city would let the government have It ana then look out for another lot on which to erect a market house. when 1t becomes able. Several other lots have been sug- gested and there is not likly to be any trouble about securinga a suitable Isite'

Question Answered,

Yes, August Flower has the largest
sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmoth-
ers never thought of using anything
else for indigestion or biliousness.
Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard of appendicitis, nervous prostra-
ton or heart failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the system
and stop fermentation of undigested
food, regulate the action of the liver,
stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's Au-
gust Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. You can get
this reliable remedy at Bell Bros.
