 Mules and Cattle.
 EufauIa, Sept. 11.-(Special. )-The barn and outhouses of Jasper Cronnin together with five mules and horses. several head of cattle and a quantity of corn and fod- der were totally destroyed by fire last night MT. Cronnin also lost most of his farming implements, and comparatively new moving machine and su1ky rake were so badly damaged they can not be used.
 Mr Cronnin resides twelve miles north of the city and had put his cattle in stalls for the night with a view of bring ing them to town to dispose of this morn- ing. So far as can be learned he held no insurance and his loss will approxi-
 mate $2,5OO. The origin of the fire could not be learned, but is thought to be in-
 cendiary.
 Two fire alarms were turned in today about noon. The residence of R. Moui- throp on the bluff and that of H. s. Stewart on Randolph Street. both caught about the same time, but the damage in both instances was small. The river is fast getting down to the lowest water mark and steamers some times require from three to five days to
 reach the city from Columbus. Ga. Rain is reported to have fallen in a sec ,,ou twelve miles south of the city. but everything is still parching up in this vicinity.

LIKE>EINDING MONEY.
Glider & Weeks Offer Popular Medicine
at Half Price.

Glider & Weeks the popular druggists,
are making an offer that is just like
finding money, for they are selling a
regular SO cent bottle of Dr. Howard $
celebrated specific for the cure of con-
stipation and dyspepsia at half price.
In addition to this large discount they
agree to return the money to any pur-
chaser whom the specific does not cure.
1t is quite unusual to be able to buy
| fifty-cent pieces for quarter, but that
is what this offer really means, for it is
only recently, through the solicitation
Of Druggist Glider q Weeks that this
medicine could be bought for less than
fifty cents. They urged the proprietors
to allow them to sell it at this reduced
price for little while, agreeing to sell
a certain amount. The result has ius-
tilted their good judgment, for the sale
has been something remarkable.
Anyone who suffers with headache,
dyspepsia, dizziness, sour stomach,
spccks before the eyes, or any liver
trouble, should take advantage of this
| opportunity, for DR.. Howard's specific
will cure all these troubles. But if by
any chance it should not, Glider &
| Weeks will return your money.
| The specific IS very pleasant to take
coming in the form Of small grGnulcs
and there are sixty dozen in every pack
age. 1t is especially convenient whcr
travelling, and no one should start on
journey without bottle of this reiabl,
medicine.

THE WEATHER..
The Past Few Days Have Been Hot and
Dry and Dusty and Humanity Is
Suffering and PerSpirlng.

The past few days have broken the
hot tsweather records for this section.
Of course there are people here who
have felt warmer weather. People can
always be found who have seen warmer
| or colder days at the same season Of
the year many years ago. But it has
been warm-very warm, and it has been
dusty-very dusty. Last Sunday the
mercury started tc crawling a little
higher each day. Tuesday it reached
SO, and on Wednesday at little before
II a. m. 101 was registered. Yester-
day was not quite so bad, but it was a
pretty warm member, registering 81.
Humanity has suffered and perspired.
Even the ice men, soda water men and
the laundrymen deep down in their
secret souls are wishing that it would
turn a little cooler. 1t would be all
right if there were little breeze, but
the breezes have gone on their summer
vacation. There is nothing to do but
to mop the brow and whistle to keep
from saying bad words.
But it is not SO very bad after all.
The crops are growing, the water melon
season is on, and hotter sunshine
makes deeper shade. The Herald
and News weather prophet says the
warm spell will be over by January and
that there will be plenty Of breezes
next March, and then no more very
warm weather until the latter parC Of
May. The ice factories are running
overtime, the big meetings are on, and
there is something doing in the good
old summer time" any way.
