Court of Selma to order in the new Tenn
pie of Justice yesterday for the first
time. It Is a bec Ltiful room and court
and bar were greatly pleased with 1t. On
taking the bench. Judge Mabry asked the
bar If they had any suggestions TO make
as to the ARA 1gements of the room for
the convenience of the lawyers and liti-
giants. Hon. II. F. Reese. President Of
the Dallas County Bar Association, and
Judge George H. Craig both made some
remarks. 1t was decided that the library
should not be used as the library room
in the old court house had been used. as
a loaflng and smok, lg room. and that
members of the bar should not take their
clieEts in 1t as a consultation room. as
the old one had been made use of. There
are several consultation rooms to the
right and left of the Judges stand, and
they will be used for that purpose when a
lawyer wants to take his client aside for
a private consultation. Another ruling
that will be made is one of great import
arce to the comfort of the bar and the
.peedy administration of justice. that Is
Ioafers and listeners about the court
room will be required to occupy the seats

A Marrow Escape.

that when the train was few miles this
side of Thomaston 1t ran over negro
child about years of age. Two or three
little negroes were out picking black
berries, and had the child with them. Just
as the train came in sight the baby ran
on the track. Engineer Fitzsimmons saw
the child and did all he could to stop
the train. Just as the engine passed over
the babe 1t fell, and Engineer Fitzsim-
mons stopped the train expecting to see
the child ground to pulp. Imagine his
pleasure, therefore. when the little negro
came crawling from under the trucks.

and the cowcatcher and engine had pass

him.
Mr.. Chapman informs your correspon-
dent that there are about thirty hands
now at work digging out the foundation
for the new cotton seed oil mill and that
this splendid plant will probably be ready
for operation by the time the fall crop
of cotton seed comes in.

-lHE world is full of active men who
direct the affairs of state, carry on
81 commerce and pursue the professions
Of science and art, but the perfectly healthy
woman is far too scarce. There is crying
need for sturdy mothers and active women
who make themselves felt in the home and
out of it. Women should really prepare
themselves to undertake LIES responsible
ties. 1t is not strange that sickness is so
common among women. The laborious
duties of the housewife, coupled with the
care of young children, are too much for the
average woman whose delicately poised
organs are easily upset. And women's
natural modesty keeps them from COM
planning about matters connected with the
organs of generation. They will not tell
the story of their suffering to doctor and
they abhor local examinations and surgical
operations. In this way thousands and
thousands Of women become invalids and
the woman who is healthy and fit for every
duty is hard to find. If every woman
knew that Wine of Cardui invariably re-
lieves female weakness when taken as di-
rected there would be fewer sufferers. But
all women do not yet realize that suffering
female weakness is totally unnecessary
when Wine of Cardui can be secured. The
relief of over 1 ,000,0 900 suffering women by
Wine of Cardui proves this statement.
