L. 6 N. Double Track.

The Birmingham Age Herald says: Tn Pittsburg mills began rolling the rails for the double track that Is being built by the Louisville and Nashville be- tween Calera and Longview on Tuesday and 1t Is expected that the rails will be- gin to arrive between the first and fifth of March.
 Although the weather has somewhat retarded the grading being done for this new line. 1t Is now almost finished and the work of laying the track will begin just as soon as the rails arrive and by the last of March 1t Is thought the work will be pretty well completed
 This tretch of track between Calera and Longview Is about eleven miles and when finished will give the Louisville and Nashville a double track all the way from Birmingham to Calera with the ex- ception of a stretch fifteen miles between Oxmoor and Silurta.
 The spur that isbeing buih from the main line to the proposed mill of the Siluria cotton mill company and which Is about a half mile long, will also soon be completed.

One grain of the active principle in Stuart s DyspopsIa Tablets will digest 3,OOO grains of meat, eggs or other wholesome food and this claim has been proven by actual expe riment which anyone can per form for himself in tine following manner: Cut hard boiled eggs into very small pieces as it would be if mastcated. place the egg and two or three of the tablets in a bott4e or jar containing warm water heated to 9H degrees the temperature of the body) ana keep it at this temperature for three and one half hours, at the end of which time the egg will be as complete ly digested as 1t would have been in the healthy stomach of hungry boy.
 The point of this experiment Is that what Stuasts Dyspepsia Tablets will do to the egg in the bottle 1t will do to the egg or meat in the stomach and nothing else will rest and invigorate the stomach so safely and effectually. Even little child can take Stuart's Tablets with safe ty and benefit If it's digestion is weak and the thousands of cures accomplished by their regular daily use are easily explain ed when it Is understood that they are 1 composed of vegetable essences, aseptic ! nepsin. diastase ard Golden Seal, which mingles with food and digest 1t thorough | ly. giving the overworked stomach a | chance to recuperate.
 Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither do pilis and cathartic medicines. which simply lrritnte and infame the intestines.
 When enough food Is eaten and prompt ly digested there will be no constipation nor in fact will there be disease of any kind because good digestion means good health in every organ.
 The merit and success of Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets are world wide and they are sold at the moderate price of 50 cts

One of the many features that Will

blned with the grand military spectacle,

bit in Stanton on Oct. 18th, is the
grand concert rendered every afternoon
and evening by Professor John Gill
and his band of forty soloists. FRO
fessor Gill has gathered around him
forty of the best concert musicians that
could be obtained Many of their faces
will be familiar to those who attended
the Pan American Exposition in Buf
falo and the Paris Exposition. They
are all soloists, and many OF them
composers of note. This band is sta
toned in the first large tent as you en-
ter the exhibition, aud at one O'CLOCK
in the afternoon and seven O'Clock IN
the evening, Immediately upon the
opening of the doors, they render
concert of one hours duration. Ii Is
not concert such as is usually caileo
a concert by similar travelling organi-
cations, but the program contains
numbers that are rendered only by the
leading concert bands of the country.
Professor Gill has world wide repu-
tation not only as director but as a
composer as well. His decorations
from the crowned heads of Europe are
many, and 1t was bis Coronation
March, that Sousa's Band was obliged
to repeat when that famous director
appeared before King Edward and his
royal family last winter.
