Everything goes topsy-turvy in the first
part First the theft OF a sum OF money

with his principal accuser and puts him
down aud out in true pugilistic style. Those

The autograph business has received
a black eye up at the Metropolitan Opera
House and nobody feels more relieved than
the singers. They have received from the
Actors Fund printed cards saying that
the autograph requested will be sent on
receipt OF a dollar TO 60 to the support Of
the Actors Home. Since those cards have
been sent on their way there has been
less enthusiasm among the iends who make
the life Of all the singers a burden. In not
a single case 80 far has the dollar been sent
back with a second application.

prevent a spread of the disease. The most dangerous period for the disease to spread is during the first three days of the patients illnesa. and if handled properly during these first three days, there is no danger of the disease spreading, but if neglected during this time, from one case the whole town could become infected. We, therefore, beg that any case of suspicious sick ness be put under a good mosquito bar and reported at once to the health offi- cer, or any member of the Board Of Health, that we may take the proper Steps to prevent a spread of the disease and the death and desolation that would follow fin it's wake. We endorse the action of the town authorities. of Brewton in prociaiming quarantine. and in looking after the general sanitary condition of the town and would again as. They, were accompanied by Miss ing every train watched, and every stranger or person entering the town from a distance interrogated and caus- ed to comply with our quarantine regu- lations. An ounce of prevention is worth many tons of cure in this tn- stance, and in vigilance lies our safety, We trust, therefore, that you will heed our advice and command us for the public welfare"
 There Is no particular uneasiness felt by the people of this county. and only reasonable precautions are being taken No freight of any kind is being re- ceived here from New Orleans, and ths ban will be kept on as long as there is trace of yellow fever in that city.

Good Reasons way t is to Your later

Good Reasons Why 1t is to Your Inter-
 est to Trade There.
 The great natural advantages en- joyed by Charleston are bringing 1t rapidly to the very forefront as the center of the banking and jobbing bus mess of the South. Charleston has un- equalled water facilities. (32 feet of water on the bar), insuring a much lower rate on incoming and outgoing freight than is to be had at any other city in the Southern part of the United States. Charleston also has splendid railroad connections through her trunk lines and many branches, covering ev- cry part of the country, and assuring prompt delivery of all goods ordered This Is an economy of which every merchant in and around Montgomery should take immediate advantage in the purchase of fall stocks It stands to reason that if Charleston can get bet ter freight rates, she can also give bet ter, making it cheaper for you to buy here, and cheaper to deliver your goods from this city then is the case any where else fin the South. Furthermore, Charleston imports more than all the other South Atlantic ports combined and these immense stocks carried by her jobbers insures you a far greater variety from which to choose, and at the best of fair prices and liberal terms No matter what your line of business may be, 1t ia to your interest to trade there: the railroad fare of every mer- chant being paid who visits the city and buys his seasons bill. All ques- tions will be gladly answered. Ad- dress the Charleston Manufacturers and Jobbers and Bankers Association.

 To the People of Brewton and Els cambia County.--The epidemic of yell low fever at New Orleans continues to showing a wide area of infection. and. although the situation Is being skillful- ly handled by the United States Marine Hospital Service and the State authori- thorities, still, on account of the mum many friends here wish them a long diesease must be fought before we can expect relief from natural causes, It behooves every community to assist the authorities by every means in It's pow CT to prevent the diesease from gaining a foothold in its midst. For these req sons we advise that every citizen be on the alert and watchful of all stran- gers or persons from infected districts coming into our midst. Every person should consider it his or her duty to report any such eases to the proper au- thorlties at once. Should we succeed in keeping out any infected person we need have no fear of visitation of the disease. The importance of these suE- gestions cannot, therefore. be over estimated.

Going straight to her mirror she
gazed long at her own reflection, not
ing the clear, colorless complexion,
the dark luminous eyes, the rich
brown hair with its CLEANS of gold,
the tall. graceful figure, and the in
tangible charm which bient them all
together into a charming personality,
her own. She loved her husband
deeply. and was not insensible to the
compliment he paid her when going
away. Why did he CO., if he did not
wish to? Surely business did not de-
mand his absence. He had no rela.
tives. He did not go for his health;
besides, his trips were yearly. A wave
of color sped over her face and she
clutched her hands ~nervously.
Just then the children came rushing
in, and Perley said, clasping her hand,
Il am glad you are pretty, mamma.

shouldn't you, Clare?"
Il should get used to it in time. |

and went with them.

she said.

asked Perley.
Perhaps as far as the Essex House.
| want to see Mrs. Fry. She is at

But most of all she wished to learn
something about the woman who had
spoken to her husband. How she
wished she had looked at her through
the field glass she had in the tower!
But it had not occurred to her at the
time. AS it was, she had only Q
rather vague idea that the woman
was young and pretty, and the uncom-
Portable conviction of jealousy on her
own part, which she must try to rid
herself of speedily. What better way
than to learn something about the
woman, and her object in speaking to
her husband? She would not ask
foolish questions, but If the desired
information came to her, well and
good.
