MAKES WEAK WOMEN STRONG AND SICK WOMEN WELL.

Forty years ago, Dr. Pierce searched Nntsirs's laboratory for a remedy with which to supplant the ignorant and vi- cious methods of treatment, with alec. hoic stimulants, then in vogue, and still too commonly prescribed and advised for woman's peculiar ailments
 Nature abounds with most efficient rem edies, and in Lady's Slipper root, Black Cohosh root. Unicorn root, Blue Cohosh root and Golden Seal root, Dr. Pierce found medicinal properties, which when extracted and preserved by the use of chemically pure glycerlne, have proven most potent in making weak women strong and sick women well. It contains no alcohol; is not patent medicine" nor secret one either.

CHANGES MADE IN
 CLUB FIELD TRIALS
COUNCIL OF HUNTSVILLE WILL SEEK TO CUT DOWN EXPENSES BY TURNING OFF LIGHTS ON MOONLIGHT NIGHTS.

Huntsville, December 20.-(Special.)- Mrs Lucy J. Ford died suddenly yester- day morning at her home near Meridian vile from the effects of stroke of paraly- sis. Mrs Ford was the widow of the late John Ford and was sister of J. Rob- ert Jones of this city She was a lifelong member of the First Cumberland Presby- terian church. Her adopted son, Lee Ford. survives her.
 There is q motion before the city coun- ell providing for cutting out the street electric lights on moonlight nights. This motion will be acted upon at the next meeting of the council. Some economical measure is considered necessary and as the lights have proved to be an expensive luxury because of their being so unreli- able the first cut may be made in that direction.
 At the annual business meeting of the Alabama Field Trials club last night a resolution making radical changes in the clubs stakes was adopted. The first an nual stake will be open only to members who are non-professional handlers, nom nations closing fifteen days before the date of the trials, B to nominate and B to start The second stake will be open derby with d guaranteed purse of S300, sl0 being required as d nominating fee and S1O starting fee. The third stake will be open to the world with 800 guaranteed purse $10 to nominate and BIO to start The success of the trials which closed to- day and the general interest shown in the trials has convinced the club that its stakes should be more open.

 The case was one of the peculiar ones of the State. Hammond, section hand, stepped one day out of the way of a fast train passing where the gang was at work. As the tender whzzed by a lump of coal became dislodged and fell off, striking Hammond on one side of his head and knocking him to the earth He brought suit for $10,00O damages but lost in the lower court. Now his cause must go back again and be tried be- cause of lack of authority of the court trying.

RESIGNATION OF
 JUDGE E. B. ALMON
GIVES UP POSITION OF CIRCUIT JUDGE AND WILL FORM LEGAL ARTNERSHlP-THE SHERIFF OF COLBERT COUNTY RESIGNS.

Tuscumbia December 0.-tSpeeial)-An announcement of much surprise and re gret to the people of this circuit is the determination of Judge E. B. Almon to resign as circuit judge. His resignation was forwarded to Governor Jelks al Mont gomery Tuesday, effective January 1.
 It is understood that Judge Almon and Hon. William H. Sawtele the present solicitor of this circuit, will form a CO., partnership for the practice of law in this city.
 The resignation of Judge Almon is en- tirely voluntary and is the result of ma ture deliperation.
 Judge Almon has served this circuit since 1898. His manner and methods of enforcing laws have greatly lessened crime in the circuit and caused a more universal observance of law and order than. at any time in the history of the circuit
 Joseph H. Nathan of Sheffield is the only man mentioned for the vacancy. Mr Nathan will have the unanimous endorse ment of the bar of this county and prac- tically the solid endorsement of Frank lin and Lauderdale counties
 Another surprise of the week is the an nouncement that Dr. w. E. Bevill. sheriff of Colbert county has forwarded his resignation to the governor, effective Jan uary l.
 Sheriff Bevills term of office does not expire until next November and his resig- nation is regretted. It will be recalled that he was appointed to the vacancy caused by the murder of Sheriff Jassa- way. The fact that there are now eleven candidates in the field for the nomination for sheriff will no doubt cause a scramble for the appointment, as it is conceded that the appointee should he be a candidate in the primary, will have decided ad- vantage.
