AN AWFUL
 SKIN DISEASE Sores Covered Neck and Cheeks Itched Day and Night - NOth- ing Did Me Any Good Was Growing Worse.
CURED BY CUTlCURA
 AT COST OF $4.50

Miss Nellie Wander Wiele, of Lake side, N. Y., writing under date of April Ie, 1904, says "I do wish you would publish this letter in the news papers, SO that others suffering as I have may see it and be helped. I suf- fered for many months with an awful skin disease, sores covering my ears, neck, and cheeks. Scabs would form and they would swell, and itch day and night. Then they would break open and blood and matter run out. l had tried many different remedies, but none of them did me any good. I was growing worse when I tried the Cuticura Remedies. The first application helped me, and when I had used two cakes of Cuticura Soap, three boxes of Cuticura Ointment, and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, was completely cured"

Montgomery Will Have Team in the
 East Alabama.
 The East Alabama Basoalle League will probably consist of Opelika, Doth an, Selma and Montgomery.
 This was practically decided at meeting at the Glenmore Hotel yes terday, although the circuit may be made six or even eight clubs, Troy Union Springs. Eufaula and Columbus, Ga, possibly being included.
 Yesterdays meeting was the post poned one from last week, and on ac- count of not getting some telegrams from out,of-town people no definite action was taken. The final action will be take ntoday, and in few days from now the promoters of the new league hope to begin playing ball
 Ed Nix of Dothan and I. l.. Rosen- dorf of Selma talked enthusiastically and convincingly of the venture yes terday. With the circuit compact rail- road jumps short and practically no expenses the venture should be pay ing one.

Climate and Crop Bulletin of the Weather Bureau, Alabama Section, for
 Week Ending Monday, May 20, 1905.
CseneraI Cnnditions:

General Conditions:
 The first half of the week was unfa-
 vorable for growth. warmth and sun
 shine being deficient, while continued
 rains further delayed or entirely sus-
 pended work, particularly in northern
 counties where the rainfall was heavy
 to excessive. During the last three
 days, warm. clear to partly cloudy
 weather prevailed and work is being
 resumed. though ten days to two weeks of good weather are needed to clean
 out grass and weeds. Cotton has de-
 teriorated from cool nights and lack Of
 cultivation. particularly in middle and northern counties where the crop Is
 very grassy; plants are yellowing ana
 becoming sappy In some places. with some dying: labor Is scarce. and some fields are being abandoned or plowed under and planted in corn; lice are in- creasing in some localities: considera-
 ble chopping remains to be done over the northern portion of the State: in southern counties. the crop is not so grassy and Is doing well; squares are
 beginning to form on the early plant ed in southern and middle counties. Up- land corn Is making fair growth, though needing cultivation: worms continue to damage some fields: the
 carly planted is tasseling an1 silking
 witn some lad by" In southern c"ln- ties. Heavy to excessive rains in northern counties flooded lowlands. drowning some corn and preventing further planting; elsewhere lowland corn is making fair growth. though very grassy: considerable remains to be planted. The wheat outlook is less favorable than heretofore. continued wet weather having increased rust and considerably lowered the prospective yield. Oat harvesting is progressing slowly. the yield being about the aver age. except in northern counties where 1t promises slightly better. Gardens and
 minor crops are generally doing we'll Pastures are excellent and hay crops
 are promising. Early peaches are rip ening in Southern counties, and fruit
 continues to promise a moderate yield | over the southern half of the State.
