FALLING OFF IN PRESCRIP-
TONS AT DRUG STORES

Business is falling off at the city
dispensary. Already in this month the
number of prescriptions filled is several
hundred short of the average. The
last three months have been quiet
ones. December came nearer the aver
age than the others, but was consid-
rably below the average. 1t is proba-
bly, due to the good health of the city.
Last month was a cold and damp one
and the majority of prescriptions were
for colds. That alone pulled the aver
age up. 1t is said that the run of pre-
scriptions has fallen off all over the
city.

MATTE M. SINKS IN TWENTY FEET OF WATER IN OLD BED OF LAKE coNcoRDlA, DROWNING SIX MEN.

Natchez, Miss, December 15-The 40 ton tug Mattie M, owned by the Dixie Transportation company of New Orleans engaged in towing cotton seed for the Standard Oil company of New Orleans sank in 20 feet of water this morning at o'clock on the old bed of Lake Con eordia. The white fireman and five ne- groes were drowned. The dead:
 Chris Martin, white fireman.
 Joe Page, negro cabin boy.
 Three negro cooks and one negro roust- about, names unknown.
 The watch had just been called and there were only two men asleep at the time the boat went down. These two men were Capt A. l.. Brunson and Clerk H. Hughes They were called by Watch man John Rhoder, who was the first to discover that the boat was sinking.
 The cause of the sinking was attributed to the fact that the boat had taken on 100 boxes of coal at this port. She was draw ing 31a feet and her guards were almost under water. A high wind prevailed at the time and 1t Is believed the white caps washed into the hull, filling 1t with water and swamping the boat.

Dadeville December 15.-(Special. )-This town will soon have an electric lighting plant in operation at a cost of $l00OO. The power house is being built on the Big Sandy creek about two miles from town where the falls have been harnessed and dam and waterway constructed to furnish the power.
 The machinery has all arrived poles are being put up and by January b it is expected that the wires and equipment will be installed and the plant in opera tion. J. P. Oliver, Jr.. the mayor of Dadeville. made visit to the falls today where the plant is being constructed and he is satisfied with the work being done.
 City Ownership.
 s',The city win own and operate the elec- trlc lighting" said the mayor "and when we are ready and in working order Dade- vile will be the best illuminated city of it's size in Alabama."
 The water plant will have a capacity of about 700 horse power. The fall of the water from the head of the waterway to the foot Is about twenty-five feet. The cost of harnessing the water to utilize it in this vicinity is very insignificant. The work for the city is only costing S750 and this fact offers a great induce ment to prospective manufacturers.
 The Sandford Milling and Manufactur- ing company is situated on the banks of the Big Sandy about half a mile from the new electric light plant and is doing big business There are manufactured at this mill windows, doors, cornices and other building material and the industry constitutes one of the best enterprises of the district.
 Rich Agricultural Section.
 The agricultural district is abundantly rich. Cotton is coming in slowly but the farmers are getting between 1l.75 to 1225. Last year only about 3000 bales were brought in but this year receipts will probably reach 5000 if not more T. s.

Good Manners at Home.

How much pain and misunderstanding
 would be avoided if girls would only be
 natural The girl one meets away from
 her own home is so frequently a purely
 artificial creature, to all appearance so sweet tempered. bright and unselfish, full
 of spirit and energy. laughter and fun.
 But frequently in her own home, where
 these qualities would be so greatly ap- preciated and do so much good, what do we find? That she possesses an unlimited faculty for making home miserable. She Is selfish and i'll tempered and will see her own mother overburdened by work or anxiety, but will not hold out the help ing hand she would give to strangers. With a desire to appear well in the eyes of others, it is astonishing what an amount of trouble she will give herself and how helpful she will be. But all this iB spoiled by her increased i'll temper in the home circle.
 How can the girl who is not genuine expect to possess the desire of all girls a happy home of her own? She imposes upon a man for a time, but when the mantle of airs and graces slips from her and he has been treated to one or two ment follows! Girls, don't put on your smiles with your visiting costumes, but let them be for home wear and they will become part of yourself. Don't make those who love you unhappy, but culti- vate a willing. cheerful disposition and a determined spirit to make the best of things. You are not only making those who love you suffer. but are laying up for yourselves a store of misery. You can avoid this If you wish 1t; every girl can become what she should be-the sunshine of her home. Begin today by wearing your company maners at home; exert yourself to be pleasing. agreeable and obliging. especially in small things, and you will soon be quite content to let the world see your real true self. The girl who possesses a kind heart and a perfect
 y natural manner is one of the happiest creatures in existence. Kind hearts are more than coronets;" they are welcome guests at every board and a universal blessing.
