WILL RELIEVE THEIR DISTRESS.
Amerious People VIII Contribute To
The Poor.

In spirit most commendable, the
charitable ladies of Americas are going
to see to it that no poor family, and
especially where there are poor little
children, shall be overlooked, or neg
lected during the Christmas season.
Already the Ladies Aid Society, of
which Mrs. 8. 81 Hawkins, Mrs. E.
A. Hawkins and Miss Alice Wheatley
are the officers, have the names of
many destitute families here to whom,
by the charity of our people, they will
minister with food and clothing
and any toys sent them for the poor
children. A little child in distress is
the most pathetic object on earth, and
those of us who have been ohildren-it
really would seem from their actions
that some men have never been chill
dren-can we'll realize the distress of a
child on Christmas Day without sin
gle token of remembrance or good will
from any source. And yet there are
many children in this good city who
wall be in that very condition on
Christmas if they are not provided for
by the public charity. The Ladies
Aid Society wants the names of all
here, that not one may be neglected,
and will be glad if this information is
sent them at once. They will also need
contributions of money, groceries,
shoes, clothing, coal and wood in allie
waiting distress in Americas

Centre, Ala. Il have used it in my
family for Piles, Cuts aud Burns for
years and can recommend it to be the

household remedy, and should always
be kept on hand for immediate use."
Mrs. Samuel Gage, of North Bush, n.

kle for twelve years that the doctors
could not cure. All salves and blood
remedies proved worthless. I could
rot walk for over two years. Finally

Hazel Salve, which has completely
cured me. It is a wonderful relief !"

LITTLE INTEREST IN ELECTION
Light Vote 10 PolIed for Mayor and
Council.

Americas has rarely witnessed a
more quiet election, or one in which so
little interest was taken, than that OF
yesterday. It was the regular election
for mayor, three members of the coun-
Gil and city clerk. Lack of interest
was due to the fact that there was no
opposition to the nominees of the prl-
mary, and also to the rather light reg
istration. Only about 100 votes were
cast, Mayor Hawkins, Aldermen Pinks-
ton, Poole and Childers, and City Clerk
Hawkes. getting the full vote. They
will be duly indicted into office at the
meeting next week, quite likely.
