HAY FEVER FOR 81 YEARS

Tie thousands Of discouraged people
who dread the approach Of summer be-
cause they have hay fever and cannot
find any relief from it will read with
interest and gratitude the following
statement from Helen S. Williams Of
Mansfield, Mass
For 81 years, from the month Of
August until heavy frost, have been
afflicted with hay fever, growing worse
and worse each year, until Of late years
was unable to attend to my work
during that period
Last summer l fortunately gave
Hyomei a trial, and / am happy to say
that It entirely cured me, and / have
had no occurrence of the disease since"
This letter is only one Of many that
have come to the proprietors of Hyomei,
and the results following this treatment
have been so remarkable that it is
proposed at the annual convention Of
hay fever sufferers to recommend Hy-
omei.
By breathing the germ-killing and
healing balsams of HyOmei, anyone can
have at any moment Of the day, either
in their home or Office a climate like
that of the White Mountains.
The complete outfit costs but ST, ex-
ira bottles so cents. Riekert & Wells
agree to refund the money to any hay
fever sufferer who uses Hyomei without
benefit

Backward"
Il beg your pardon, responded the
student. I'VE are the older nation.
SO they are, and naturally it makes
one stop and wonder whether their way

it is that in most of the ordinary vocations
Of life the Japanese do things directly
contrary to our method of doing them.
The following will prove this statement:
Cherrv-trees are cultivated for their
blossoms, not for their fruit. Great
double blossoms OF a delicate pink de
light the eyes; but he who wants cherries
must eat them canned.
Other trees are trained IN strange,
often grotesque, shapes. Small pines will
be clipped and tied until a perfect little
green-turtle will grace the lawn. An
other pine will represent a stork standing
on one leg.
Horses are stabbed backward: standing
with their heads where we find our
horses tails One japanese, when asked
the reason. replied Yankce-hke, with
this question: when are you in the
greatest hurry. when YOU take your
horse out or when you put him in the
stall!"

FIREMEN DID HEROIC WORK.
Disastrous Fire Was Barely Averted at
 Brewton Thursday Night.

Brewton, November 11.-(Special)-By the heroic and splendid work of the two volunteer fire companies of Brewton the disastrous blaze. which seriously damaged the main building, a two-story structure, and practically destroyed the stock of goods of the Luttrell Hardware company Thursday night, the fire was confined to the one building.

 Interesting Career.

Greenville, November I-(Special.)- An old gentleman, Hampton Walker, has been living six miles west of here. His death, after a few days illness, re- calls to mind some of the facts in his life. He was born at Edenton, N. C., May 10, 1910. and was therefore, almost a centenarian. He moved to Alabama in 1885. He married Miss Charlotte Walden of Camden, s. C., and was the father of twelve children. He was exceedingly healthy and active and was blessed with remarkably strong eyes, never using glasses When he was seventy-three years old he had the only severe illness he ever had, which left him helplessly blind. Since that time he had been cared for by three daughters and son. He was member of the Christian church and was a good man.
 Presiding Elder O. w. Gavin of the Union Springs district reached Green vile last night and will hold his fourth and last quarter conference with the Methodist church tomorrow. He will preach at St. Paul. five miles east of here today and hold conference with that church. This is his first year on the dis trict and he has made fine record. He ranks as one of the ablest ministers in
