In MEMoRIAM.

There is no more beautiful sigh. for
q mortal eye to behold than a we'll
trained, highly cultivated and Christian
young woman. A young woman VIII
scorns the wrong and loves truth, fill
log life with sunshine; catching the
sweetest aud most lovab!e along the
journey of life and leaving the bad to
fade and die. Such was the life, lived
and expressed in the life Of Miss Eula
Elizabeth Blakely who passed from time
to eternity on the morning cf May 9TH.
just after the clock had told of the
midnight hours. For nine days this
dear young IN suffered untold
misery and pain, yet she never com.

has left her home-perfect submission
to God will. For several years she has
had great comfort in the service of the
Master at the old home church, Beth

poet was never better demonstrated as

just to rest upon his promise,
Just to know, Thus saith the Lord.

M1LLIoNAJRE's POOR STOMACH.


The worn-out stomach of the over
fed millionaire is often paraded In the
public prints as a horrible example of
the evil attendant on the possession of
great wealth. But millionaires are not
the only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far more
among the toileTs. Dyspepsia and in
digestion are rampant among these
people, and they suffer far worse tor
lures than the millionaire unless they
avail themselves OF a standard medi-
cine like Green's August Flower,
which has been a favorite household
remedy for all stomach troubles for
over thirty-five years. August + over
rouses the torpid liver, thus creating
appetite and insuring perfect diges-
tion. 1t tones and vitalizes the entire
system and makes life worth living,
no matter what your station. Trial

TR1UMPHS OF MODERN SUR
gerry,

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be removed
entirely; bones are aNced; pipes take
the place of diseased sections Of veins;
antiseptic dressings are applied to
wounds, bruises, burns and like inju-
ries before inflammation sets In, which
causes them to heal without matura-
tion and In one-third the time required
by the old treatment. Chamberlain's
Pain Balm acts on this same principle.
II is an antiseptic and when applied to
u injuries, causes them TO heal very
soreness. Keep a bottle of Pain Balm

SettIinu CoIombia's Claims.

II Is said the Bacon-Hale resolution,
looking to an amicable settlement with
Colombia, is to be modified by the re-

The resolution to be adopted will sug-

arranging settlement of their diff

tiated with Colombia for settlement
OF all claims of Colombia against the
United States on account of the seces-

From the report in the New York

There was a great burst of applause,
and every one in the great room rose
to his feet when the name of General
Wheeler was announced. He said that the
women of the Confederacy had been more

of their sons, and now it was the duty

the mongrel branch of the republican
party in this state remarked a repub-

not prepared to yield to the suggestion
that our party in the nation is in the
hands of Rooseveltism, which means a

democrats. Had you noticed that the
Tippecanou club of Cleveland, O., has
drawn the color line, and that the negro
republicans in that city are up in arms
against Senator Hanna? 1t is true. The
Tippecanou club gave Mckinley day

FOreiqn Trade of Mobile.

The value of the exports and i'm
ports to and from Mobile rose last year
to the sum of $16,770,31S, sum never
before equalled in the history of our
ancient port The value of the exports
$12,621 ,27S, and the value of the i'm
ports, $4,169,O40. Nine years ago they
we're but $3,475,S03.
In the list Of imports for last year
at Alabama's port Sisal grass stands
first, with bananas a good second.
Nearly fifteen thousand tons of Sisal
grass were brought into Mobile last
year, the value being over two million
dollars Sisal is a port in Yucatan,
and its grass is used in cordage fac
tories. OF bananas Mobile received
4,635,302 lunches, no mention being
made of the tarantulas that embarked
with them. Mahogany logs is another
article of import, and SO is manganese

of the manganese ore brought in last
year at Mobile was Sill, $40.
In the list of exports cotton is easily
the leader, furnishing a half of the
total. Lumber and timber come next,
followed in order by -four, provisions,
corn, iron and steel, cattle, cotton seed
meal and cake, and slaves. Collector

Mobile will not begin to attain its
possibilities until the Warrior Is
opened and the isthmian canal is dug.

come nearly together about five or
six years hence, and then Mobile will

Handling Contagious Diseases.

A Philadelphia physician was recent
~ brought before magistrate and was
there fined because he did not detain
in his Office smallpox patient, who
had come to him, until an ambulance
could be summoned. Instead of doing
his duty to humanity he advised the
sufferer from the disease to go to the
city hall, passing on the way hun
dreds, il not thousands, of persons, be-
fore he could reach the health officials
who would do what the physician
should have done
1t is carelessness of the Philadelphia
sort that spreads the disease. Victims
OF 1t do not hesitate to ride in trolley
cars, to walk amid their fellowmen,
and they especially delight in keeping
their condition secret All such acts
should be punished. Everybody should
be taught to know that they cannot
WIN IMMUNITY lmpart the loathsome
disease to another.
Alabama Is full of smallpox, and it
cannot be driver out of the state I'M
less all will cooperate with the public
authorities. Every precaution against
It's spread should be taken by every
person in contact with 1t. Blacks as
well as whites need lesson in this
respect, and the first person who reck-
lessly endangers the health of others
in connection with the disease should
be punished. There has been alto
gether too much of such careless IN
this state, and the result is, preva-
lence of the disease that is very harm
full.
