TO REPAIR A ROAD
WORN PLACES IN LOWER
 WETUMPKA TO BE FIXED.
Montgomery County Board of Reve- nue Reconsiders Its Former
 Action-Orders Gravel
 for Another Road,

After cancelling the order to regravel worn places in the Lower Wetumpka Road, which was made by the Board of Revenue, at a previous meeting, the board yesterday again reconsidered and ordered that the former order be exc cuted and the road will be repaired.
 John Carter, member of the Board, and an owner of property on the We tumpka Road, spoke in behalf of patch ing the thoroughfare. He said that af- ter the hard rains of last week. there were numerous holes in the road holding large amount of water and as each heavy load passed over these holes a rut was made in the surface. MT. Carter said that he had never seen in the original or pictured a better and a more useful road than the Lower We tumpka. He called attention of members of the Board to the amount of pleasure traffic that was now going over the road from Montgomery to Pickett Springs and the immense amount of business tra- versing the thoroughfare daily to and from Wetumpka. He urged the Board to repair the road at once and save the necessity of rebuilding 1t at future date.
 President N. R. McCrummin said that he and W. D. Brown, a member of the Board, had inspected the road the day after the original order for repair had been issued and they saw at that time no urgent need of repair. He had there fore instructed c. A. Allen, clerk of the Board, to rescind the order. Dr. McCrummin said that after Mir. Carter had told of the present state of the road he entertained no objection to having 1t repaired.
 On motion of W. D. Brown the old order was again made effective without a dissenting vote
 On petition of citizens of the Lower Wetumpka road, County Overseer Will liam Reeves was instructed to repair the ford across Lomax Creek on that road,
 Four cars of gravel were authorized to be bought to be used in repair work on the Upper Wetumpka Road at Madison park.
 A petition was presented to the Board signed by M. B. Houghton. w. D. Peck. and others. farmers of Montgomery County, asking that a new public road be opened from the old crossing on the Norman Bridge Road, Jour miles to the South and Beast to the Perry Mill Road.
 Dr. McCrummln said that under the law, no road could be opened by the Board between the months of March and July. The petition was therefore laid on the table until the first Monday in July.
 County bills for the week were passed on and the Board adjourned until Mon day.

Necessary to Life.
 vinOl Makes it.
POOR BLOOD CAUSES ERUP.
 TONS AND WEAKNESS.
VinOI Makes Pure, Rich,
 Red Blood.
BECAUSE WE KNOWN THIS WE GUARANTEE ITS ACTION.

Impoverished blood is a sure sign of internal disorders. We see every day too many people whose faces plainly show that there is something radically wrong.
 We want all of our fellow-citizens to know of our splendid blood purifier and blood maker.
 We refer to Vinol.
 Vinol, as we have before stated, is . purely scientific preparation.
 Vinol owes it's virtue to the fact that it contains in highly concentrated state the active curative principles, taken from the flyers of live cods-the same elements that formerly were found in cod-liver oil, and which made it famous.
 Vinol does not contain the grease or fat that characterized cod-liver oil and made it in many cases worthless.
 Vinol acts upon every one of the great vital organs, and by invigorat- ing and giving them strength, enables them to properly perform their func- tions.
 Vinol's effect on the stomach ismar- vicious. 1t tones up this, the greatest of the organs of the body and enables 1t to obtain from the food which is taken into it the necessary elements to create flesh and muscle tissue, bone structure and pure, rich, red blood
 We are in receipt of letter from a Savation Army woman which reads as follows:
 II took Vinol after a.bad attack of grippe, and so much good did it do me that I persuaded my sister to take it. She was all tired out. Had no appe- tite and her blood was very poor. It did her as much good as it did me- BETSY HABERsHAw, 71s River St., Fall River, Mass.
 Won't you please come in and see us ? We are always glad to extol the merits of VinOI.
 We will give you back your money if you don't find VinOI will do all we claim 1t will. Could any one do more for your E. G. Fowler, Druggist.

Sunday. despite the prevailing cool air seemed to be 'the day before spring. time" in Montgomery.
 In the afternoon people of all classes were on the streets, many of whom were in spring attire. Four cars were run on the Pickett Springs Park line until o'clock in the evening and in each out going car was a jam of humanity.
 Vehicles were in evidence on the Pickett Springs road. In fact 1t seemed the day of inspection of the new park by city people.
