An Ancient Foe

To health and happiness is Scrof- ula-as ugly as ever since time immemorial.
 It causes punches in the neck, disfgures the skin, infames the mucous membrane, wastes the muscles, weakens the bones, re- duces the power of resistance to disease and the capacity for re- covery, and develops into con- sumption.
 "A bunch appeared on the left side of my neck. It caused great pain. was lanced' and became running sore. went into general decline. was persuaded to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, and when had taken six bottles my neck was healed and I have never had any trouble of the kind since." Mas. K. T. SNYDER, Troy, Ohio.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Nov. %.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Nov. a. The site for the postoffice has at last been selected and the Robbins property. corner of Alabama and Lauderdale Streets, is the site that has been settled on. The property fronts 150 feet on Ala bama Street and 165 feet on Lauderdale Street. The Robbins lot was not large enough on either side, so Mrs. John A. McKinnon made an agreement with MT. Robbins to let him have IS or 20 feet of her lawn on the Alabama side. and so- foot lot that she owns on Lauderdale, making the lot as stated above. - While the agent of the Government has settled on that site. he has by no means agreed to the price that Mir. Robbins sets on it. $11.250. The agent of the Govern ment, in his report, says:
 'I recommend its acquisition. pur- chase or condemnation. It is assessed at 8, ,0O0 including two old two-story build ings. Assessments are claimed to have been made on a basis of 80 per cent of the actual cash value of the property. heard many expressions from prominent busiress men to the effect that this prop erty Is held at too high a price. and believe that the Government could &C., quire it by condemnation proceedings at a considerable reduction in price"
 It will be seen from this that condemn ation proceedings may. be instituted. There is no doubt but that the right lot has been selected. What price will be set on 1t in the proceedings to condemn is yet to be decided. It is understood that or the sl1, ,25O that MT. Robbins places on his property, Mrs McKinnon will get aoout $4, 900 as her share.
 A large majority of the people will be glad that the site has been decided and will approve of the selection.
 It is expected that a condemnation board will be appointed in the next three or four weeks and that the matter thus definitely settled.

fore he got loose. Some negroes who were with him ran to his assistance and one of them caught the horse and drove to Dr. Phillips's house, in order to get him to attend ike wounded young man. He was not at home and the boy drove to the city after a doctor.
 The accident occurred at l o'clock yes- terday but it was p. m. before doctor could be gotten to the wounded youth. When a doctor reached him 1t was found that the spokes of the cart had crushed his leg into jelly and it was hanging on by some flesh and leaders. He had lost a great deal of blood and would have died if the negroes who witnessed the accident had not carried the sufferer to one of their cabines, a hundred or so yards away and corded his leg tightly above the knee
 He was carried to Dr. Phillips's coun- try home last night, where his right leg was amputated just below the knee. The ambulance was sent last night. but the three doctors who had gone out did not think it advisable to try to move Weav- CT to the hospital as he had lost so much blood and was so weak. He is still at Dr. Phillipss country home, where he is receiving the best of nursing.
 Smothered Under Seed.
 The news of a negro being smothered to death under cotton seed at the Buck eye Oil Mills Friday night last has just come to light. It seems that the negro was near a tunnel-like hole in a pile of seed. just where the machinery for con- veytng the seed from a room to the crusher was located. The negros name was Alex Clay and he was about 52 years of age. He was warned not to go too near this tunnel, but it seems that he did not heed the warning. There was another negro near him when the accident occur red. He says that he saw Alex standing near the tunnel and turned his head and looked in another direction. and when he looked back Alex had disappeared down the tunnel and tons of cotton seed had caved in on him covering him under the immense mass to a depth of eight or ten feet.
 The alarm was at once given and a large force of hands attempted to dig him out, but the work was necessarily slow on account of more seed pouring into the tunnel, and 1t was nearly an hour before his body was reached. The weight of the seed and the exclusion of all air caused death.
