NEWS OF WALKER COUNTY.
Mains Are Being Laid at cordova for
Watcrworks System,

Jasper March 4.-(Special.)-C
court Is in session here Judge A, H.
Aston presiding. Owing to the absence of
circuit court for several months there is
great deal of business to be attended
to. The term will last for only two weeks,
although an effort will be made to have
an extra session of perhaps six weeks
held after the regular session In order to
clear the docket.
Judge Alston's charge to the grand
jury was a strong one, and set forth very
clearly the duties devolving upon the
jurors in regard to lawlessness. He de-
voted some attention to gambling and
crap shooting, and pointed out the evils
of these practices. Attention was also
called to the inadequacy of the present
court house, 1t being claimed that the
present building was at one time adequate
for all purposes. but that now that the
county had grown to be one of the rich
est in the state, and the present building
ad been outgrown.
Several murder cases will probably be
tried before the present session of the
court among them being the famous
Henry Walker case, which has been twice
tried in this county. A point was sprung
at this mornings session as to whether
cases begun In the court before the for
n alton of the defunct Fourteenth circuit
and continued from time to time in that
court, could be legally tried before the
court now In session. A recess was taken
to investigate the matter.
The town of Cordova Is installing a
system of waterworks for the protection
of the bushes houses in the main part
OF town. Six inch mains are being laid

A thousand feet of hose will be ordered
and a volunteer fire company will be or
ganized. The lily Council, headed by
Dr. j. M. Miller, is pushing the work.
and test of the new system will be
made within a YER short while.
Linn Palmer, a young man about q
years of age, has been elected mayor of
Horse Creek in this county. Mr.. Palmer

Crystalized Poison!

Your blood is always full OF poson--the
posion you eat and drink and breathe. into
your system. 1t is the purpose OF the
blood to absorb and carry on this very
poison. And the kidneys. which are the
blood filters, are expected to cleanse the
blood and send 1t back through the sys-
tenn clean, to gather more poison which,
they, In turn, will eliminate.
But sometimes the kidneys fail. And
sometimes. from some other cause, the
blood gets so full of poison that they can
not absorb 1t all. This is the start of Rheu-
matism. The poison accumulates and
crystalizes. The crystals look like little
grains Of sugar or of fine white sand. The
blood carries them and they Increase in
size Then. when 1t can carry them no
longer, 1t deposits them in joint-on a
bone-anywhere
The twinge in your leg-the dull ache in
your arm on rainy day-these are the
outward signs of the unseen crystals And
the twisted limbs and unspeal1able an
guish OF the sufferer who has allowed
his symptoms to go unheeded and unat-
tended for years-these are the evidences
OF what Rheumatism neglected can do
rheumatism includes lumbago sciatica.
neuralgia, gout-for all these are the re-
suits of rheumatic poison In the blood.
Plainly the first thing to do is to re-
move the poison. But thds is not enough
The formation of the poison must be
stopped, so that nature may have a
chance to dissolve and eliminate the crys-
tails which have already formed Unless
this is done there can be no cu-e-no
permanent relief.

in security above, little thought Of
what was deep down below their home.
The party was now wet, muddy, very
tired indeed and very hungry. But on
they went and soon emerged into an
immense room. 1t was SO large that
no adequate idea can yet be given as to
its size. 1t Is hundreds of feet In ex-

about 10 hours from time of entrance.

simply wanting chance to wash and

with this trip was that all OF the ex-

fore starting in, and therefore they
could not stand a night Of such constant
and severe labor without great incon-
venience and suffering. Later on an
other expedition will be made, and the
trip will begin in the morning, after
good nights sleep and hearty break

expected.
