 Destroyed.


 Brewton, April 23.--(Special)-At 10:3O o'clock this morning fire broke out on the roof of the kitchen at the home of B. M. Neal on Douglass Avenue. Consider able delay was experienced in getting the alarm to the power house. and the fire had spread with great rapidity to all parts of the residence before the firemen reached the scene. The rear portions of the building were entirely consumed, in fact the loss was almost total Some of the furniture and household goods was removed, but most of the personal effects of J. M. Norman were destroyed.
 The Bell and Stevens residences, next South, caught from sparks but buckets of water put out the flames.
 The firemen did splendid work and the water pressure was ample with three streams playing on the house.
 Mir. Neaps insurance amounts to $450 on house and $500 on furniture, which is two-thirds of the loss.

APPET|TES Created and Maintained
 by vinol. THAT THE FOOD IS DIGEST ED IS ASL0 EQUALLY
 NECESSARY. We Recommend Vinol as an
 Appetite Creator. WE GUARANTEE THAT VIMOl WILL AID DIGESTION.

vinol is the greatest aid to digestion that we have ever known.
 Itis because Vinol acts so benehcially upon the stomach that 1t accomplishes so much good.
 Vinol contains the active curative principles that are found in cod-liver oil, without any oil or grease.
 These medicinal elements act so favorably upon the stomach, that this organ obtains for itself the elements necessary for creating new flesh, muscle tissue and for making rich red blood.
 When the stomach acts easily and naturally, desire is created for good laGfabIAF food and good appetite is the sure result.
 With cod-liver oil as formerly taken the medicinal elements which 1t con- tained were too often unable to counteract the harm that was done by the obnoxious grease that enveloped them.
 Now that in Vinol we have those same elements separated from the vile tasting fat, we have Q tonic and re- builder that is simply marvellous in its action.
 The following is letter that will ex- plain itself:
 "This is to certify that I have used six bottles of Vinol, and have found it of great value as an appetizer and tonic in general debility. have re- ceived so much benefit from its use that gladly furnish this testimonial in order that others may be induced to give it trial and prove to themselves It's recuperative powers. "-MRs. ELIz- ABxrH FEENEY, Waterbury, Conn.
 We want every one In this place ts know more about our Vlnol. how ii cures and what lt cures. Certainly the greatest tonic and reDuilder WI have ever sold.
 We, therefore, cordially Invite any one interested to call upon us; anu we want ali to bear In mind that VI will gladly refund to any one who | net satisfied with the action of Vino every cent they pay for 1t. lE. Fowler, Drug gist

Parrish Case With Jury.

The case of Hollis B. Parrish. charged with the murder of George Leonard, was given to the jury in the criminal court at l0:2o o'clock this morning. The case has been on trial for several days and has excited much interest on account or the nrominence of the accused who is a prominent young lawyer. He shot and killed Leonard who was laborer on a street car one night last August. The killing resulted from a trivial quarrel and took place while Policeman Nix was try ing to arrest Leonard for disorderly con duct. The plea of Parrish was not guilty on account of insanity and he has been ably defended. After the closing argu- ments Judge Daniel A. Greene delivered a very able charge. The opinion is ex- pressed that the jury will be out for some time because of the conflicting mass of testimony relating to the sanity of the prisoner No verdict had been returned up to a late hour tonight.
