 Child Getting We'll.
 The sequel to the fast trip made to opelika and Lafayette by Montgom- cry physician few days ago promises to be the recovery of the child whose illness was the cause of the trip. The family of S. s. Broadus of Decatur one of the best known men in North Alabama, a banker and promoter of note, was on a visit to their relative, J. A. Carlisle of Lafay yette, when the little son be came ill. His trouble was membraneous eroup, and it became so bad that MT. Broadus or dered a physician out from Montgomery on a special train. The special consisted of an engine and one coach, and made the sixty-six miles from Montgomery to Opelika over the Western railway in sixty-two minutes. The twenty miles from Opelika to Lafayette was covered in thirty-eight minutes on the Lafayette railway.
 Before the doctor from Montgomery ar rived, however, it was announced that the child was dead The father and mother still hoped there was some mis- take, however, and waited in anxiety the arrival of the train with the Mont gomery physician. When he arrived he ran into the house and at once made an examination. He decided there was chance. A silver tube was inserted down the throat of the child and other reme- dies applied In a few moments life be- came apparent Continuance of the treat ment brought better results until the little fellow was able to sit up. Shortly after he was brought to Montgomery and placed in St. Margaret's hospital, where he is in a fair way to be well soon.
