A Marvellous Cure After the Failures
 of Ten Doctors.

Skin diseases are very common with old and young, and some forms are exceed ingly troublesome, and cause serious dis Eczema, salt rheIm, scrofula, shingles, ringworm, boils, pimples, itch, and a score of other disagreeable troubles, re- suit from sluggish, impure, and poisoned blood. If you truly desire to get rid of such evils. do not resort to outward treat ment or applications. Common sense and the experience of your friends will at once suggest a blood purifier and system reno- vator like Paines Celery Compound. This marvellous cleanser soon mutiplies the number of vital red corpuscles, and fills the arteries with a health stream that produces clean. solid flesh, and firm, well-braced nerves. Mrs. L. S. Bailey, West Potsdam, N. Y, writes thus:
 II had small blotches break out on my head, and In short time my whole body was covered. The doctors called it scrof- ula. 1 have had as many as ten doctors treat me. but none seemed to help me At night time my whole body would itch so lv all night, have taken all kinds of sarsaparillas, and used soaps and oint- ments without effect. l read in a paper of Paine's Celery Compound. and l could not rest until ] gave 1t a trial. l am now on my fifth bottle and consider Paines Celery Compound miraculous in it's effects l am completely cured with the exception of one spot on my arm, which is fast going away. I wish all who suffer to give this wonderful medicine trial.

OFFICIALS OF HOUSTON
PROBATE JUDGE AND CIRCUIT
 CLERK NAMED.
George Leslie and A. c. Crawford are Selected by Governor Jslks to
 Serve Alabama's New County.

George Leslie, a prominent citizen of Gordon. is the first Probate Judge Of Houston County, and A. c. Crawford' an eouallv prominent citizen of Dothan, will serve the new county as Circuit Clerk.
 Governor Jelks yesterday morning sign ed the bill authorizing him to appoint the officials of the new county. named in honor of George 8. Houston. and imme- diately announced the appointments or Judge Leslie and MT. Crawford.
 Judge Leslie has been a foremost citi- to Houston County for many years, and has had no small part in public affairs of his section. It Is said that he has never before held a public office.
 Mir Crawford the new Circuit Clerk of Houston County, was Circuit Clerk of Henry County, but as he resided at Do- than, the seat of the new county, he de- cided to cast his fortune with the Coun- ty of Houston. He is one of the infiuen- tial men of Southeast Alabama and has long been a potent factor in its affairs.
 The appointment of MT. Crawford leaves vacancy in the office of Circuit Clerk of Henry County which will be filled by Judge John P. Hubbard of the Circuit Court.
 The creation of the new county of Houston will cause the abandonment Uf the court house at Columbia. Henry County, the largest county in Southeast Alabama, has here tofore occupied the unique distinction of having three court houses located at Alb. beviile, the original county seat; Dothar and Columbia. The last named city Is ir the extreme eastern part of Houston County and is a city of about 1,5oo popu- Iaticn.
 Dothan, the county seat of Houston County, and the third court house city oi Henry County before the creation oi Houston County. is 8 city of about 5,00' population and the most enterprising city of the wiregrass.
 By the change only one court house l town, Abbeville, the original county seat is left in Henry County, and 1t will con- tinue to be the county seat. It has 6 population of about 900.
 Houston County as in the extreme Southeastern corner of Alabama, borderet on the south by Florida and on the east by Georgia.

HAS EYES ON RED SEA.
England May Conclude to Seige a
 Few Ports.

New York. Feb. 2o.-Russian reports that the British Government is threaten ing to seize several Red Sea ports are not confirmed from any official source here. says a dispatch from London to The Tribune.
 The Kings speech revealed the exist ence of important negotiations with the Turkish Government respecting frontiers in that quarter. and there is evidence that the ministers have been seriously disturbed by Turkish intrigues and neg lect to fuIdm obligations for the control of portions of the coast. It Is not clear whether Russian aggression or the med- dlesome activity Of Germany Is dreaded. but 1t Is certain that officials here have been more deeply interested in the Red Sea question than In the revival of the Balkan agitation.
 Alden and it's approaches are watched with jealous and anxious eyes, especially when Russian torpedo boats have been making experimental runs through the Dardanel.es. A Russian coaling station on the way to India would be dangerous place.
