AFTER FORTY YEARS
MEETING OF MRS. CUNNINGHAM
 AND COLONEL RUSSELL.
She is Mother of Lieutenant Cover nor and Saw Her Nephew Here for First Time Since
 War,

An interesting episode of the inaugura- tion Monday and one that savers some what of the romantic, was the meeting, quite by accident, of Mrs. N. Cunning ham. mother of Lieutenant-Governor Cun- ninRham. and Col. Edward l.. Russell of Mobile. her nephew, now General Counsel Tor for the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company. whom she had not seen for forty years
 Lieutenant Governor Cunningham and Mrs. Cunningham, the Lieutenant-Goy- ernors mother, and his daughter-in-iaw, Mrs. M. E. Cunningham, arrived In Montgomery Sunday evening, going to the Exchange Hotel.
 It happened that Colonel Russell and Mrs. Russell and their daughter. Miss Eoline Russell, were in the corridor when the Cunningham party arrived. The aged mother of the Lieutennat-Gov now 73 years of age, after looking hard for a moment or two, recognized Colonel Rus sell as her nephew, whom she had not seen since when, forty years ago, a mere stripling of a soldier, not more than r years of age, and at that time member of Hoods army, he had come to her house in Lawrence County. half clad and more than half starved, in quest of food. Mrs. Cunningham hastily improvised a bnlrL IOF IuS SHlNerlnS SoiOteE Adu OuI OA one of her dresses and dismissed him with a blessing, and a grip-sack filled with pies and other good things. and did not see him again until Sunday evening at the Exchange Hotel.
 Colanel Russell, after the war, studied law And rapidly rose to prominence fir his profession. It is needless to say that his meeting with his wartime benefac. tress and kinswoman was a touching one and the event was considered worthy oi celebration. The party spent the evening together. enjoying a good supper. al which old times were recalled and many a good story was told. At the supper Colonel Russell took oc casion to pay tribute to woman, talxinf
 his aunt as text and example. Lieu tenant-Governor Cunningham responded saying he endorsed all Colonel Russel
 had said. and adding that "a tree il | known by it's fruit Mrs. Cunningham, though T3 years old enjoys remarkably good health for ont of that age, and appears to be no more
 than 50 years old. She. with Mrs. R. M Cunningham and the latter's daughter. in-law left last evening for Birmingham

Advertiser Bureau,

MODlie, Jan ~. Hon. J. Austill. who left here yester- day for Montgomery, where he went to attend the meeting of Trustees of the Girls Industrial School at Montevallo. is more enthused just now over the pros- poets for completing the Mobile and West Alabama Railroad than ever. With all rights-of-way secured. he feels that the State of Alabama will lend its aid in opening this proposed important artery Of trade to the people of West Alabama along the entire border, giving them an air line to the gulf.
 While in Montgomery, Judge Austilf will give effort towards securing from the Legislature certain sum of money, something over $7oo. the remainder of an appropriation made through an act. ap- thus:
 An Act to accept the 2 per cent fund. Section 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Alabama in General Assembly con- vened, That in pursuance of the seven- teenth section of an act, entitled "an act to appropriate the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, and to grant pre- ,emption rights" passed by the Congress of the United States, and approved the 4th September, lSA, the State of Ala DdI16 ncT6Oy dCC0pto hAto of the per cent fund, on the terms and conditions in said seventeenth section ex- pressed.
 Sec 2 And be it further enacted, That the whole of the said ? per cent fund shall be faithfully applied under the di- rection of the Legislature of Alabama to the connexion of some means of internal improvement of the navigable waters of tho bay of Mobile, with the Tennessee River, and to the construction Of con. tinuous line of internal improvement. from point on the Chattahoochie River, opposite Wsst Point, Ga, acress the State of Alabama, in direction to Jack son, in the State of Mississippi; and 90 far as relates to the faithful application of said per cent fund to the purposes aforesaid, this act is hereby declared un- alterable without the consent of Congress.
 Sec, g. And be 1t further enacted, That the cashier of the Bank of the State of Alabama, be, and Is hereby, authorized and required to demand and receive the said two per cent fund as the same may become due and payable; and shall keep the same on special deposit.
 Approved December 29, 1S4l.
 Judge AustiIl stated that the above enactment placed In the treasury of the State of Alabama a certain sum of money. one portion of which, as noted in the act. was to be applied to railroad or artery of trade across the State, the remainder | to go to a similar enterprise. traversins | the State from north to south. Having assurance that there remains in the treasury a sum of money from the ap. propriation, Judge Austill will seek. through the aid of the Mobile delegation,
 to have that sum appropriated to the Mo
 bile and West Alabama Railroad The | Judge has been most persevering in his efforts In behalf of this artery of trade.
 and has the hearty cooperation of many | Mobilians in the undertaking.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP Cured by One Bottle of Chamber Iain's Cough Remedy.

"When 1 had an attack of the grip last winter (the second one) 1 actually cured myself with one bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank w. Perry, editor of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N. Y. "This is the hon. est truth. at times kept from cough ing myself to pieces by taking a tea spoonful of this remedy, and when the caughing spell would come on at night I would take a dose and it seemed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass off and I would go sleep perfect ly free from cough and its accompany ing pains. To say that the remedy acted as most agreeable surprise is putting it very mildly. 1 had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because I had never tried it for such purpose, but it did, and it seemed with the second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, and had not used the contents of one bottle before Mir. Grip had bid me adieu. For sale at Ketcherside's drug store.
