QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes,August Flower still has the largest sale
o any medicine In the civilized world. Your
mothers and grandmothers never thought of
using anything else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard OF Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration
OF Heart Failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food. regulate
the action OF the liver. stimulate the nervous
and organic action of the system, and that is
all they took when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You only need a
dose OF Green's August Flower, in liquid
form, TO make you satisfied there Is nothing
serious the matter with you. You can get thi:

COMES AS THUNDEReoLT.
Gadsden Council Reverses Its Action
In Waterworks Matter.

Gadsden. December -(Special.) =
The waterworks question has again
bobbed up, and /, takes different turn
from all the other various actions.
Mayor Campbell is out of town and SO
are Aldermen Dunlap and Moore. A
petition was written and presented
asking the aldermen in town to call
meeting, which was done, and those
present were Aldermen Smith, Guice
and Armstrong.
Charles S. Ward was chosen alder
man from the Fifth ward, to take the
Mace made vacant by the resignation
OF Alderman Dunlap, now in Mexico.
AS soon as Mr.. Ward assumed the
office he moved that the ordinance to
reinstate the Weller-Mitchell water
works franchise, which had been re
voked early In the present administra-
ton. and that It be read and passed.
This ordinance lowered the rate on
each hydrant from s42 to $40 per year
and also took away the exclusive right
to build and operate the waterworks.
The ordinance was unanimously passed
as read. and the franchise was again
the property of Weller & Mitchell
The action Of the council In reversing
itself came as a thunderbolt from a
clear sky and has created considerable
comment. What the next move Will
be is not known, although mass
meeting has been called for Thursday
night to take action in some manner.
