EASTER ,.iARkET AT
 THE WOMAN'S EXCHANGE.

The Easter market at the Woman's ex- change offers the best homemade cakes and breads that can be found in the city. Its regular consigners are so ex- perienced in bread and cake making as to make the market at the exchange in- fallible, and the many patrons year after year have found the greatest satisfaction in the delicious breads and cakes sold at the exchange. For Easter special efforts are made to provide fine market, and orders are promptly filled.
 In this connection it may be well to em- phaslze a fact that has been repeatedly stated, in regard to the real mission of the Woman's exchange and the oppor- tunities it offers to women to earn their own living. Women with children to sup port are daily earning their bread through the employment that the exchange gives them Hundreds of women forced to earn their own livelihood are dependent all most entirely upon the exchange for the necessaries of life. and in this way the exchange as an institution is reaching a large class of gentewomen and fulfilling a mission not as widely known and com prehended as It should be.
 There should be more effort at co-opera- ton among those who could assist the exchange in its desire to establish a central market where impoverished wom- en may dispose of their handicraft, and their cakes and breads, without that fear of competition that will be the result If church markets are to continue. There are limitless ways for the churches to raise money but the women consigners of the Womans exchange have no other way of providing bread for themselves and their children
 To them the exchange means living and there should not be any competition that might lessen their opportunity that the exchange has opened to them.

REPAIRING THE BRIDGE.
Approaches to Structure at Gadsden
 Are Being Strengthened.

cadsden, April 2O.-(Special-The Louis ville and Nashville road has a large force or men at work refooring the bridge across Coosa river at this point. The travel over this bridge is enormous and a new floor has to be put in every three or four montis and it is becoming to be quite an item to the railroad people. The travel is so heavy that slow time is made in putting down the new floor.
 The approaches to the bridge on both sides are being greatly strengthened and made more substantial. The report that the Louisville and Nashville will build a new and much stronger bridge across the river here just as soon as the AL toona extension is completed is believed by many. as the present bridge will not hold up the heavy trains that will neces- saIily have to pass through Gadsden and over the bridge.

Extreme Durability

You nave doubtless in the past purchased many hammoeks which have worn out in three or four months, if not in three or four weeks, and some of them in even less time. Vudor Hammocks are not abuilt that way" They are made to withstand hard and continuous serv- ice. and they will do it.
 The body of the Ham, mock is not supported, in VUDOR Hammocks by a group of fine warps gath cred together and at tached to cords at each end, but the supporting cords, which are nearly twice as large as in or dinary hammocks, are at tached directly to the spreaders, across the whole width of the Ham mock at both ends, thus distributing the necessary strains evenly and doing away with the weakest of all features in standard hammocks.
