Decatur s,ostomce.

Captain Eli P. Jennings's time as postmaster of New Decatur expired the first part of February last and as yet his successor has not been appointed. Captain Jennings has been postmaster of New Decatur for the past two terms. or eight years, and he has made one of the best postmasters the city has ever had. Under his two terms the business of the office has grown re- markably. New clerks have been add cd to the force, three rural routes have been established and the city has had free mail delivery for the past several months. Captain Jennings is an sppli- cant for re-appointment. He has the endorsement of the Presidents referees. the State party organization and al- most the unanimous endorsement of the business men from Republicans and Democrats alike. Will WariS Repub- lican. and Claud McMillen, Democrat. are also applicants for the ofice. It Is said that Claud McMillen holds the en- dorsement of Congressman William that Will Warner has quite strong Republican backing from men of his party in Decatur. Just why an ap- pointment has not been made before this time Is not known. It Is true that Captain Jennings has been postmaster for two terms but from the fact that the President has made other third term appointments 1t would seem that this would cut no figure in MT. Jen- nings's case. His friends here feel that his endorsements will insure his appointment.

RUNNING SORES
 COVERED LIMBS
Little Girls Obstinate Case of Eczema - Instantaneous Relief By Cuticura-Little Boys Hands and Arms Also Were a Mass of Torturing Sores -- Grateful Mother Says;
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
 A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

Tn reply to your letter I write you my experience, and you are privileged to use it as you see fit. Last year, after having my little girl treated by very prominent physician for an obsti- nate case of eczema, I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so we'll pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physicians prescription and relied en- tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with the Cuticura Rem edies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble.
 "In July of this year little boy in our family poisoned his hands and arms with poison oak, and in twenty-four hours his hands and arms were mass of torturing sores. We used only the Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands and arms with the Cutjcura Soap, and anointed them with the Cuticura Oint. ment, and then gave him the Cuticura Resolvent. In about three weeks his hands and arms healed up; so we have lots of cause for feeling grateful for the Cuticura Remedies. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are 8 valuable household standby, living as VIC do twelve miles from a doctor, and where 1t costs from twenty to twenty-five dol lars to come up on the mountain. Respectfully, Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas, Paramount, Walden's Ridge, Tenn, Oct. l3, l905."

 "My endorsement of Peruna is based on its medits.
 sIf man Is sick he looks anxiously for something which win cure him, aud Peruna will do the work.
 sI know that 1t will cure catarrh of the head or stomach, indigestfon, head ache and my weary or sick feeling.
 "It fs bound to help anyone, if used according to directions.
 T also know dozens of men who speak in the highest terms of Peruna and have yet to hear of anyone being disa appointed in it."
 MT. Crumbo, in a later letter, dated Aug. 25. 1904, says:
 My health is good. at present. but if should nave to take any more medi- cine will fall back on Peruna."
 Revised Formula. For a number of years requests have come to me from a multitude of gratc- full friends, urging that Peruna be given a slight laxative quality l have been experimenting with a laxative d ditior for quite length of time. srd now feel gratified to announce to the friends of Peruna that I have incor- porated such quality in the medicine which, in my opinion. can only enhanc. its well-known beneficial character.

WORK OF THE HOUSE
TWO PROPOSITIONS BEFORE THE
 REPRESENTATIVE
Matters of Purchase or Manufacture of Chains, Cordage and Anchors and Transportation of Coal
 to the Philippines.

washinEton, May 9.--Nearly the entire time of the House was taken up by two propositions--first, whether the navy department should go into the open market and purchase an- chors, chains and cordage. or continue to manufacture those articles In the government navy yards as Is now done and second. whether the cost of transporting coal from Atlantic and gulf ports to the Philippine Islands in American bottoms should be limited to So or S6 per ton.
 On the first proposition one of the prettiest legislative combats of the session occurred, the debate extending over the major portion of the session. Representative Doud (DI,ch) Insisted that there could be saving of over S300,0O0 a year to the government IT the navy department was permitted to go Into the free markets and purchase anchors, chains and cordage under suggestions of the department. MT. Grosyenor (ohio) and members of the Michigan and Pennsylyania delegations aided MT. Doud in his fight. the oppo- sition being represented by MT. Rob- ertss (Mass), MT. Fitzgerald IN: f.l, Mir McNary (Mass.l and MT. Rixey (Va)
 My. Grosvenor offered a substitute to MT. Ioud's amendment. giving tho sec retary of the navy the rlght!lo pun chase the articles above referred to in free markets. should 1t be demonstra- ted that they could be had from man ufact,lrers cheaper than they could be made at government navy yards. This substitute- was adopted eighty-five to sevepty-six. ,,.
 As to the second proposition nmlt, ing the cost of transportation or coal to s5 or SS per ton. the efforts put forth by MT. fitzgerald (N. Y). and MT. yslsyden CTex.). were of no avail. slthough votes were had on both amendments limiting the cost.
 After these propositions were dis posed of the reading of the naval olli was continued until the hour oI au ;ourrroent without exciting debate.

A Diplomat, Indeed.

81 wonder how 1t seems to have
written SO many books that you can't
remember the NUMBER" sighed a pret-
ty girl, youthful literary aspirant,
after meeting John Burroughs, the nat
uralist, at the Pen and Brush club re-
ception few days ago.
The gray-bearded sage of Slabsides
had just remarked that he couldn't al
ways remember how many books he
was the author of, and had told this
story:
Il was dining with a lady recently
and when | made that remark, she
spoke up, saying:
"'Oh, know. You have written
Just thirteen, for have them all here
in my library
Did | write all those books?'
said. Why, 1t doesn't seem possi-
ble.'
"But you see my work has been my
play. and 1t has all been done so grad
ually that can scarcely realize how
many there are. There will be four
teen in all when the one on which I
am now working is finished In June.
But, then" he continued. comforting
ly. when you have worked forty years
as | have. you will have something to
show for your labors. New York
