GREENGLASS DROPS
 PART OF HIS NAME
JUDGE STILES GRANTS HIS PETI- TON TO CHANGE HIS NAME FROM BENJAMIN GREENBoss TO BENJAMIN GREEN.

Benjamin Greenglass has dropped the glass part of his name and is now Benja- min Green.
 Upon his petition to have his name changed Judge J. P Stiles hss issued a decree authorizing 1t.
 The petition of Greenglass was filed in the office of the Probate judge several days ago, and after short hearing yes terday Judge Stiles issued an order mak- ing the change.
 The petition set forth the following reasons for wanting his name changed:
 First, that In asking for the granting or the petition he was acting In good faith; that he moved from Georgia to Alabama in 1897, and had a brother in Jefferson county who shortened his name to Green. and that on account of their relationship he had become known in Jefferson county as Green. and by that name had won a reputation that he values.
 Second. that in 1896, in Chatham county. Ga, he had taken out naturalization pa pers, and wished to preserve the certih- cate and be known as the same person.
 The petitioner now resides in Jefferson county and has been in Alabama a num- Der of years.

RAILROADS WILL
 GIVE LOWER RATES
SPECIAL TERMS TO THOSE AT M TENDING MEETING OF ALABAMA x LIVE STOCK ASSOCIATION IN X BIRMINGHAM ON JANUARY 27.

The Southeastern Passenger association has agreed to allow a rate of one and one-third fare, plus 25 cents, to all those sattending the meeting of the Alabama Live, Stock association, which will be held here on January 27 and 2S.
 This rate will only be good in case there are fifty people in attendance on the con- vention from out of town points.
 It has been urged that all the farmers and growers of live stock in the state attend this meeting, as Alabama Is be- hind many other states in cattle-raising. A number of important questions will come up before the meeting, among them the question of advising the farmers to make more of their lands into pasturage instead of raising cotton.
 The need of a meeting of the stock growers is shown in several ways, includ- ing the better protection of the breeds of stock bettering of the breeds and g. more general raising of cattle.
 Every arrangement possible Is being made by Secretary Gibson of the Com mercial club for the entertainment Of the visitors, and it is expected that there will be a large gathering.

NEGRO PRISONERS
 ARE BROUGHT BACK
FRANK AND WALTER SMITH AR RESTED IN MEMPHIS--ARTiCLES
 STOLEN FROM D. M. DRENNEN
 AND LOUIS E. RICHTER FOUND.

Frank Smith and Walter Smith. both of whom have several aliases, were yes- terday morning brought back from Mem phis by Policeman Waldrop, and they are being held on charges of burglary and grand larceny.
 The two negroes were arrested In Mem phis several days ago, and as they were wanted in Paducah, Ky, the authorities of Memphis intended turning them over i, to the Kentucky authorities. They were, however, wanted here on several charges and the police were notified Thursday that they could get them.
 The negroes are charged with burglariz- ing the residence of D. M. Drennen near Five Points and of c. F. Enslen, on the Northside. When arrested several watches were found in their pockets which were stolen from the residences which had been burglarized, and the police believe they will have no trouble connecting the ne- groes with the crimes.
 On Walter Smith was found the regis tration certificate of D. M. Drennen, pair of gold eye glasses and a match box with the initials D. M. D. On one of the negroes was found a gold watch, on which was engraved Louis D. Richter, who roomed In the residence of MT. Ems len when 1t was burglarized. The watch was identified and turned over to MT. Richter. A suit of clothes stolen from J. w. Dickson at the same time was identi- fled yesterday and turned over to MT. Dickson. tA-4 -.-~.s=ss...
 The prisoners will be tried Tuesday.

IT PAYS
To Know Facts About Coffee.

When man takes properly selected food and drink Nature will most always assert herself and rebuild the structure properly.
 Prom my earliest remembrance 1 was a confirmed coffee drinker,'' writes a gen. tleman from Marshallville, Ga, taking two cups at nearly every meal. Whiis at college I became very nervous. dys- peptic. Irritable and unfit for study and attributed it largely to coffee. but did not stop it's use.
 When 1 was married I found my wire was troubled the same way, and we de- cided to try Postum Food Coffee. My wife made the Postum according to di- rections and we found 1t superb. We used 1t exclusively for the morning bev- craze. and the taste of ordinary coffee became distasteful to both of us.
 We have found a distinct gain in health. Any amount of Postum does not cause a feeling of either dyspepsia or nervousness. while the return to coffee even for one meal has disastrous effects upon my nerves. My dyspepsia has en- tirely left me- and both my wife and self are well and strong and feel that 1t is all due to the Postum' Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich.
 It is easy to replace with Postum which has, when properly made rich flavor and the color of coffee with none of it's ininrions aftsr-affants-

VALUE OF TESTIMONY
Greater Than Assertion.

There is none of us so hardened but that when we have been able to aid our fellow creatures by conferring a benefit or bringing a little comfort into their lives we like to have appreciation shown. This generally affords more pleasure than the performance of the act itself, and in this connection the following letter from Texas iady Is of more than usual in- terest
 Dear Friends address you as such, for you have been such to me. l suffered for three years off and on with piles. I was treated at the hospital, and the new and elegant hospital of Memphis; they only gave me temporary relief. l came west thinking the change of air and wa ter would benefit me; five months ago the bleeding piles came back on me, and bled so much that thought I would die
 'I have had four of the finest doctors in this section of Texas; all they did was to finally nearly let me go to my grave all they wanted was a big sum of money from me and to operate on me. said mo- no surgeons knife would enter me; If 1t was my time to die God knew 1t, and when I died I would die all together.
 ''I began hearing about your medicine. I had no faith in you. but I sent and got a box of your Pyramid Pile Cure; in two days the blood flow had slackened to one-half the amount, and in one week I felt so much better I walked four blocks and did a little housework. I was not bleeding then; in three weeks I was well.
 God bless you for putting such won derful medicine within the reach of suffer- ing men and women. l shall never cease to recommend your medicine or be without 1t; also I used your Pyramid Pills. Sallie A. Hearndon, Paris, Texas"
 Testimony like this. (for the genuine ness of which we vouch,) should be more convincing than all claims and assertions and should leave no doubt in the mind of the reader as to the merit of the remedy Pyramid Pile Cure Is sold by druggists for fifty cents package. or will be mail ed by the makers to any address upon re- ceipt of price Write Pyramid Drug .Co., Marshall, Mich, for their book on cause and cure of Piles.
