TIDE OF HOLIDAY SHOPPING
 AT HEIGHT IN MONTGOMERY
Good Weather of Yesterday Made Streets Look Like Circus Day---Plenty Of Money and
 Good Cheer.

ing and the substantial prosperity which was inevitable. Outside of the weath- CT if there Is anything about the pres ent shopping conditions which Is un- satisfactory to any merclant in Mont Eomery he has so far failed to tofregister it.
 With numerous buyers. with unusual spending money. with big stocks laid in for the holiday trade, the local mer- chant has a right to smile when he contemplates existing conditions.
 The trade with out town custom CTS has been altogether satisfactory. Tho railroads have evidently shared in the general prosperity. This is evil denced by the hundreds of people from the surrounding towns of Middle Ala bama who have been part and parcel of the eddying crowds on Montgom- ery's streets. About the depot is a |.constant litter of Christmas packages. , the quarry of the suburban visitor who has looked and made his pick from the splendid array spread out by the retail merchants of Montgomery. And the suburban visitor may be marked and noted, not only when he seeks to gath CT up his one and a dozen packages brought down by the porter to the de- pot, but he may be marked and noted as he makes his way through the streets with his Christmas load. The word load refers to packages and pur- chases carried on the outside.
 The town has been little slow in decorating. The amount of holly and evergreens displayed about the various stores or are offered for sale from country wagons is smaller than it was last year. And for that matter the hol- ly-bedecked homes are fewer in number than last year. All of this, however, is for good and sufficient reasons. Never before has it been so difficult to get holly and Christmas greens. In the first place the Christmas decorations get fewer and fewer every year in Mid dle Alabama. They are cut away fast CT than nature restores them.
 Because of the remarkable bad spell of weather Christmas greens are hard cir to get than ever before. The ne- groes wiio make practice of hunting them ur, harvesting and selling them have been held back by the wind and rain. And, moreover, this being prairie country the plantation roads leading to the swampy places where the Christmas greens are found nave been almost impossible.
 In one respect Christmas this year IS like Christmas last year. The last day for Christmas shopping falls on Satur' day this year. as 1t did last year, when Christmas fell on Sunday. As was the case last year. those that have any Christmas buying to do will have to do 1t Saturday night, for Christmas eve. on which day the biggest Christmas trade ordinarily is done, falls this time on Sunday.
 And the man or woman who has Christmas shopping to do may we'll do it in a hurry, for today and tomorrow arc all that remain to them.

Governor Issues An order Concerning
 Equipment.

Governor Issues An order Concerning
 Equipment.
 The following self explanatory order was issued yesterday to the soldiers of Alabama:
 state of Alabama. Adjutant Generals
 Office, Montgomery, December 20,
 1905.
 General Order No. 22.
 "1. The care of property placed In the hands of commanding officers Is most important and necessary for the good standing of the Alabama Militia with the department; hence this order is issued and special attention of all responsible officers invited and its strict observance required.
 I'll. Commanding officers must ex- ercise every care in the keeping and use of public property for which they are responsible. The proceedings of the General Board of Survey for 1905 show a lamentable lack of precaution on the part of officers to prevent loss. damage. or destruction of public prop erty under their care. Neither the Secretary of War nor this offlce can re- lieve officers from responsibility or ac- countability for property lost. damag- ed, or destroyed. unless conclusive evi- dence is submitted that proper care was exercised to prevent loss or in- jury and that such loss or injury was un1NoldaDIe.
 I'll. The War Department does not permit the military property of the United States, loaned to tho several States, to be issued or loaned to or ganizations or individuals other than those of the State military forces Re- sponsible officers will. under no cir cumstances, loan either United States or State property to any one outside the military service of the State.
 'TV. Responsible officers must for ward with their semi annual returns of ordnance and ordnance stores, ex- penditure certificates for all ammuni- tion expended during the previous six months. Ammunition will not be is- sued to those organizations whose commanding officers fail to forward the required certificate of expenditure.
 " The following paragraph of G. o. ls2, C. s.. War Department, is pub lished for the guidance of all concern ed
 When an original package of blank cartridges Is first opened careful in- spection will be made and should ball cartridge be found the complete package will be sent through military channels to the Chief of Ordnance, United States Army, to enable the re- sponsibility for the presence of a ball among blank cartridges co be located bv means of the packers initials stamped on the package. None of the marks on the package should be de- faced"
 By command of the Governor.

THE EVILS OF
 CONSTIPATION.
Everyone Knows When He is Consti- pated and Everyone Should Know the Risk He is Running When He Fails to Promptly :
 Correct it. Any Disease Epidemic or Otherwise to Which He or She May be Exposed is Sure to Result Seriously.

There are two ways to remove consti- patton; the wrong way is to dreneh the bowels with powerful, gripping, drastic cathartic that >injures the coating of the bowel channels and produces an early return of the trouble in a more chronic form. The right way is to use natural, easy and mild laxative that tones up and strengthens the bowels and leaves healthfu1 influence behind it. Prickly Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just ss thoroughly as the harsher cathartics, and combines all the tonic and strength ening properties necessary to perma- nently cure the habit.
 Accept no substitute. Insist on having

Don't neglect an aching back.

kidneys.

Urinary troubles, diabetes, Bright's

A Leon citizen tells you how the
cure is easy.
Henry Vogt now retired, living in
the southeast part of town, says: 81
have had attacks of kidney complaint
for twenty years and have suffered far
more than | wished with my back.
Physicians told me | had symptoms OF
Brght's disease and certainly the indi,
cations pointed that way. Too frequent
action of the kidney secretions annoyed
me particularly observable at night
/ and from loss of sleep ensuing | arose
in the morning tired and unrefreshed
Sometime ago saw in newspaper an
advertisement which stated that Doan's
Kidney Pills were guaranteed to help
such conditions and as any help in my
case would have been welcome | went
to L. P. Van Werden's drug store for a
box. From the positive results re,
ceived must confess that in my esti.
nation Doan's Kidney Pills are ar
excellent medicine for the kidneys"

a Judiclous Inquiry.

A we'll known travelling man who visits
the drug trade says that he has often
heard druggists inquire of customers
who ask for a cough medicine, whether
it was wanted for child or an adult,
and if for child they almost invariably
recommended Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. The reason for this is they
know that there is no danger from it
and that it always cures. There is not
the least danger giving it, and for
coughs, and colds and Group it is UNI
surpassed. For sale by L. P. Van Wer-
den Leon, W. S. Bear, Decatur City, Iowa
