but that was a fatal shot The facts
which lead to the fatal difficulty are very

Director Owen of the department of his

; aluabe files of papers published in Ala
bama many years ago. These old files
are being neatly bound, showing the APP
probation of the director. Some of the
files received are as follows:
Dorseys Dispatch. Wetumpka, Septem-

1t was owned and edited by D. w. Dor

Wetumpka Dispatch, July 17-November

These files form valuable and impor-

It must be apparent to every one that
qualities of the highest order are neces-

modern commerce to attain permanently
to universal acceptance. However loudly
heralded, they may not hope for Worldwide
prominence unless they meet with the
general approval, not OF individuals only,
but Of the many who have the happy
faculty of selecting. enjoying and learn
ing the real worth of the choicest prod
ucts. Their commentator, consequently,
becomes important to others, since to
meet the requirements of the well In
formed of all countries the method of
manufacture must be of the most per-
feet order and the combination the most
excellent of Its kind The above Is true
not Of food products only, but Is espe-
cially applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly a quarter of a century of
growth and general use the excellent
remedy. Syrup of Figs, is everywhere
accepted, throughout the world, as the
best of family laxatives. Its quality is
due not only to the excellence of the
combination of the laxative and carmin-
alive principles of plants known to act
most beneficially on the system and pre-
sented In the Form of pleasant and re-
freshing liquid, but also to the method

prospectus for an evening paper, to be

OF the late Mrs. F. IA. Johnson and of
Mr.. e. e. Adams, resident of Besse-

last night and her funeral took place
at p. N. today, with interment at
Cedar Hill.
Robert Waldrop, aged "a, who but
little over a year since married Miss
Lille Prewitt, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. F. d. Prewitt, died In the hospital
at Tuscaloosa yesterday, where he had
been taken few days since. He left
an infant son. His remains were in

funeral taking place at p. M today.
The matter of an early entrance of
the electric railway into Bessemer
seems contingent on whether the COM
pany will be compelled to erect via
duct over the railroad crossings on
Twelfth avenue.
1t is said the Louisville and Nashville
railroad will not permit the stringing
of wires over their tracks. 1t would,
in fact, be dangerous to continue this
crossing on level. A dozen tracks or
more cross the avenue here. In fact,
the avenue at this point crosses the
Mineral railroad yards that extend
from the heart of the city from Second
avenue ON to Twenty fourth avenue.
AS matter of ordinary safety the
tracks ought to be Aridged, but it will
be big and an expensive job, and II
done will delay very materially the
inauguration of service on the electric
line between Bessemer and Birming-
ham.
