A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
The Way Physicians Now Treat
 Catarrh,

Physicians who formerly depended upon inhalers, sprays and local washes or ointments now use Stuarts Catarrh Tab lets because as one of the most premi- nent stated, these tablets contain in pleasant, convenient form all of the real ly efficient and reliable catarrh reme- dies, such as red gum, blood root and Hydrastin
 They contain no cocaine or opiate (so common in liquid catarrh medicines and cough syrups) and they are given to little children with entire safety and benefit
 Dr. J. J. Reitinger says: suffered from Catarrh in my head and throat every winter and it would hang on clear into summer, with stoppage of the nose and irritation in the throat affecting my voice so that I was continually clearing my throat before I could speak plainly; 1t finally extended to the stomach causing catarrh of the stomach.
 I bought a fifty-cent box of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at my druggists, car ried ttcm in my pocket and used them regularly several times d day, and the way in which they cleared my head and throat and improved my hearing and general health 1 consider little short of remarkable. I had no catarrh last win ter and spring and know I am entirely free from any catarrhal trouble what ever.
 Mrs Jerome Ellison of Wheeling writes: I suffered from catarrh nearly my whole life and last winter my two children also suffered from catarrhal colds and sore throat so much they were out of school a large part of the winter MT. brother, who was cured of catarrhal deafness by using Stuart's Catarrh Tablets urged me so much to try them that I sent to the drug store and bought a package and am truly thankful for what they have done for me and my children. I always keep a box of the tablets in the house and at the first appearance of cold or sore throat one of two of the catarrh tablets nips it in the bud and catarrn is no longer a household affiction with us.

NEW DECATUR.
Negroes of Alabama May Build an h.
 dustrial School Up There.

New Decatur, March 6.-(Special. )-The negroes of Alabama are making arrange ments to locate a large industrial school for their race somewhere in North Ala bama The location has not as yet been determined upon, but they have in view New Decatur, Birmingham, Marion and Anniston. At present 1t seems that the chances are in favor of New Decatur.
 Dr. M. c. Mason was in the city repre- senting the school and was met by committee, who urged him to locate here. He was well pleased with the location and met with every encouragement.
 Yesterday H. V. Cassion, the colored politician and government office holder at Huntsville, was in the city in the in- terest of the school and said the chances were that New Decatur would get it, but that there had to be some work done to land it as these other towns would make every effort to secure the school. He said there would be over thirty instruc- tors in the school, and that they hoped to make this one of the leading negro colleges in the south He said that the Decatur Land company would donate the land for the school and that he thought the white people would also donate lands and money. He said this school would be a big thing for the Decaturs and Morgan county; that 1t would necessarily bring a considerable amount of money here.

 2. Dscontinuance of Prosecution; When not Shown to EXist-The failure of a Circuit court to hold a regular term of the court and the consequent failure to enter upon the minutes of the court an order continuing the cases not other wise disposed of, do not work a discon- tinuance of a criminal prosecution pend- ing in said court; and this principle ap- plies to a prosecution pending against one charged with murder. and who is in the custody of the sheriff under a nit timus issued on preliminary examina- ton.
