PRATT CITY CLUB
TO HOLD MEETINGS
SUPPORTERS OF HUDNALL AND
COMSTOCk AT PRATT CITY ARE
VERY AcTIVE-VoTE WILL BE
LIGHT.


Pratt City, January 19.-(Speclal 1.-The
Hudnall and the Comstock clubs, which
are supporting two candidates in the
race for mayor, will meet tomorrow night
for the purpose of taking some action
relative to placing aldermanic tickets in
the field.
The Comstock club has been called to
meet at the law offices of Mr.. Comstock
by Mr.. VIII Mckay, the chairman, and
LIE Hudnall club will meet at Foley 5
opera house for the purpose of consider
ing the report of the committee, appoint
ed last night, to recommend a full alder
manic ticket.
1t is understood that the committee met
today and practically agreed upon Hud-
nall, but the members of the committee
Ge1nne to discuss the matter
The Comstock club has not as yet APP
pointed any committees looking toward
recommending an aldermanic ticket, but
1t Is probable that the club will name a
ticket In OPEN meeting tomorrow night.
The present indications are that the
votes to be poled in the coming election
will be extremely light. The registration
books have been opened two days, and
so far only about fifty electors have
qualified. The total, 1t is estimated, will
not exceed $50

ATTORNEYS IN THE BESSEMER
BANK CASE WILL PROBABLY BE
CALLED TO NATcHEZ EARLY IN
FEBRUARY.

Bessemer, January 1s.-(Special. 1.-THE
attorneys in the case of the receiver of the
Bessemer Savings bank VS.. ]. N. Carpen-
ter and others, the original stockholders
of the bank, will probably be called in tn
court at Natchez, Miss, early in Febru-
airy.
This suit was instituted by the receiver
to recover from the original stockholders
the amount paid for the bank by Captain
Cornwell and associates.
The attorneys in the case are preparing
to go to Natchez and make all necessary
arrangements for. the hearing of the suit.
So far the chancery court of Mississippi
has not set the time for the trial of any
of the cases. The books of the Bessemer
Savings bank, however, have been sent to
Natchez to be used as evidence In the
cases.
On account of these books being car
ried from Bessemer the hearing of the
other cases now pending against Capt.
T. j. Cornwell has been postponed until
after the trial of the cases in Mississippi
Judge Jackson of the Bessemer city
court states that the cases will be set as
soon as the bank books are returned.

ago in one of the cases against him on
the charge of alleged embezzlement and
was acquitted

What To Do
For Heart Trouble
l Back up My Advice With This Remark
able Offer:-A Ful1 Dollars Worth
of my Remedy Free to Prove
That | arr Right.

1 ask no reference, no deposit, no Sc
curity. There is nothing to promise, moth
ing to pay-eitner now or later To any
heart sufferer who has not tried my
remedy-Dr Shoop's Restorative will
gladly give, free, not a mere sample, but
a full dollar bottle.
I am warranted in making this unusual
offer because mine is no ordinary remedy.
Il does not vainly try to stimulate the
heart. Such treatments are worse than
useless. 1t goes straight to the cause of all
heart trouble-the hear nerves-and
strengthens them and vitalizes them and
restores them. Then that is the end of
heart Diseases
For the heart itself has no more self
control Than a common sponge 1t is made
to beat by a tender nerve so tiny that
1t is scarcely visible to the naked eye.
Yet ten thousand times a day this deli
cate nerve must cause the heart to ex
pand and contract.
The heart is about the size of your
clenched fist Open and close your fist,
a dozen times, even, and you will see
the monstrous labor this little nerve
must do.
The heart nerve is only one of tue
branches of the great sympathetic ner-
vous system. Each branch of this sys-
TEN Is so closely allied with the others
that weakness or irregularity at any point
is apt to spread. Heart trouble frequent
ly arises from stomach trouble through
sympathy and kidney trouble may also
follow. For each of these organs is oper-
ated by branch of these same sympa-
thetic nerves-the ils-de nerves.
The bond of sympathy between the
nerves that operate ne vital organs has
a useful purpose as well. For what will
cure weakness in one branch will surely
cure weakness in every branch-what will
restore one center, will surely restore
them all.
There is nothing new about this-notn-
ing any physician would dispute. But 1t
remained for Dr. Shoop to apply this
kncwledge-to put it to practical use. DR..
Shops Restorative is the result of y
quarter century of endeavor along this
very lire 1t does not dose the organ or
deaden the pain-but 1t does &C at once
to the nerve-the inside nerve-the power
nerve--and builds it W, and strengthens
1t and makes it well.
II YOU have heart trouble and have
never tried my remedy, merely write and
ask. I will send you an order on your
druggist which he will accept as gladly
az he would accept a dollar. He will hand
YOU from his shelves a standard sized
bottle of my prescription ant he will send
the bill to me- This offer is made only to
strangers to my remedy. Those who have
once used the Restorative do not need
this evidence There are no conditions
nc requirements. 1t is open and frank
and fair 1t Is the supreme test of my
limitless belief All that l ask you to
dc is to write-write today.

two miles from Centreville, shot and per-

have the money then, but that he would
pay him as soon as he could get the
money. whereupon Elan drew his pistol
and told the negro he would kill him
and fired.
The bullet went through the coat of
the negro for whom it was intended and
struck the Mayberry negro in the back.
