'Twould Spoil This Story to Tell It

To use an eighteenth century phrase, this is an 'o'er true tale" Having hap pened in a small Virginia town in the winter of 1902. it is a story very much of the present. Up to a short time ago Mrs
 John E. Harmon, of Melfa Station, Va, had no personal knowledge of the rare curative properties of Chamberlain 8 Cough Remedy. Last January" she says, my baby took a dreadful cold and at one time l feared she would have pneumonia. but one of my neighbors told me how this remedy had cured her little boy and l began giving it to my baby at once and it soon cured her. I heartily thank the manufacturers of Chamber lains Cough Remedy for placing so great cure within my reach. I cannot rec ommend 1t too highly or say too much in its favor. I hope all who read this will try it and be convinced as I was" For sale by all druggists. adv.

Basket Ball in Alabama.

The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-03-06


 Indoor sports will never become so pop ular as outdoor sports, but in the South basket ball is becoming more universal each year.
 In Alabama are some of the crack teams of the South, including the Mobile Y M c. A. and Howard College teams. The Mobile team has played several games | this season and in every one it carried away the honers.
 The Howard College team has been nearly so successful. It is now in Ten nessee on a tour of that State and will | meet the champion teams of the South If l Howard wins the largest per cent of the games on it's present trip it will be de- clared the champion intercollegiate team of the South
 But these two clubs mentioned have advantages over others in the State. They have been organized several years, and 1t is notorious fact that no team can play together as it should in the first season of it's organization. Then too, Mobile has played all of it's l games in Mobile and in its own gym nasium where they know every crook and | nook.
 Basket ball was entirely foreign to Montgomery two years ago before the coming of MT. Fry, Physical Director of the Y. M. c. A. and it was only the first | of this season that practice was com menced. One game was played with Howard College. resulting in the latter's complete victory. but the game encour- aged instead of discouraged the local az gregation and they are now more en- unused than ever.
 The game tonight in Birmingham with the Athletic Club team of that ,cltv Is arousing interest because of the similar advantages of both teams. Birmingham has played two games Montgomery has played one. and the score of tonight's game will be the result of the efforts of the best team.
 Though the Montgomery team may be defeated in the first games of it's career they will not Hay down the hoe'' nor will they be discouraged.

HE MAY APPEAR,
Foster Lee Randall May Be at Probate
Court, Tuesday.

Lewiston, Me-, May tt shouldn't
be surprised to hear that Foster Lee
Randall appeared before the probat,.
court at Auburn, alive and well, the
day on which the hearing on the pro-
batting of his will is held" remarked
an Auburn man, yesterday.
"Such thing seems to me to be as
likely to happen as not. There is neither
proof that he is dead nor that he is
alive. Foster Lee Randall was very
eccentric. The time a man must be
gone before his heirs can legally claim
his property unless proof can be found
that he is dead is seven years. l say
lie might take it into his head to go
away and remain that length of time
and then return the day on which 4
hearing is set for probating his will.
He was only a little over 20 years old
when he disappeared. If alive now |
am informed he would not be over 81
years old.
My theory is further strengthened
by the fact that Foster Lee Randall
believed there was something mysteri-
Gus about the number seven. He might
have gone west to live among strangers
that length of time, thinking it might
have some uneXplainable effect on his
health.
Il shart give up thinking but what
Foster Lee Randall will appear in the
probate court room, Auburn. the second
Tuesday in May, just before Judge
Drew. in view of the evidence that will
be offered, pronounces him dead"
