Miss M. Cartledge gives some
helpful advice to young girls.
Her letter is but one of thou
sands which prove that nothing
is so helpful to young girls who
are just arriving at the period OF
womanhood as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound.
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM IL cannot
praise Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound too highly, for it
is TIE only medicine ever tried which
cured me. 1 suffered much from my
first menstrual period, felt SO weak
and dizzy at times l could not pursue
my studies with the usual interest.
My thoughts became sluggish, l had
headaches, backaches and sinking
spells, also pains in the back and lower
limbs. In fact. was sick all over.
:. Finally. after many other remedies
had been tried, we were advised to get
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, and l am pleased to say
thai after taking it only two weeks,
wonderful change for the better took
place, and in a short time l was in
perfect health. felt buoyant, full of
life, and found all work pastime. l
am indeed glad to tell my experience
with Lydia f. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, for it made diff
ferent girl of me. Yours very truly,

q SONG OF THE WAY

u ask not any stay of Time
Tne length'nin' of a day;
1NfgaS draweth nigh: my soul and !
Are weary O. the way!
aFe weary o. the way
Where Winter Weeps for May:
The last, sweet rest,
With flowers abreast
&ah! that's LIES holiday!
We've had our dreams in years gone by
An then our bitter wakin'!
AND sweet came song, the way along,
Whilst the poor heart was breakin'.
Eut, weary o. the way,
Song thrills no more the May;
Fae Silence seems
To sing through dreams
'Cf fAfe's last holiday!
We've had our toll, and our reward,
A-journeying down the years;
Cos gave us Love-all gifts boye-
And the sweet gift of tears.
But, weary O. the way,
We greet the shadows gray.
And ank rest
With flowers abreast,
I'm Iife's last holiday!

HUNTSVILLE FIRES.
Chief Wise Submits His Annual De
 partment ReuOrt.

Huntsville. Oct. 16.-(Special "A re- port made by Chief Wise of the Fire Department, shows that the damage by fire in this city from the first of De- tober, 1903. to the first of October, 1904, was the smallest in ten years. There were only forty-five fires and only two of them were in brick buildings. In June and July there was not a fire and the department made no run.
 w. E. Byers of Blount Springs, has taken an option on Hotel Monte Sano and will probably lease it and open the hotel to guests next summer. The ho- tel was once one of the most popular summer resorts in the South. and if next season proves successful an cleo tric railway will probably be built there from the city.
