 During the past week thousands of feet of saw timber has been rafted into Decatur from up river points while much more has been lowed here by steamboats from down river points.
 The rains of the past few weeks have caused heavy rise in the Tennessee river and the local saw mill men have been taking advantage of the rise while 1t lasts.
 All of North Alabama is covered with a mantle of snow today, the first of any consequence this winter. It commenced showing this morning about o'clock and by daylight there was about three inches of snow on the ground.
 The weather turned warmer during the day today and as a result much of the snow melted. The weather is colder this afternoon and the prospects are that there will be freezing weather again.
 Many limbs were broken off of trees by the weight of the snow of last night Telephones and telegraph worked badly all day today on account of the snow Street car traffic was interfered with to some extent during the early part of the day.

 and Beauty

Beauty is the external proof of health; with failing health comes failing beauty. Wom- ans delicate organism is ire quently over-taxed by arduous household duties, and the de- mands of society. The con stant drain upon her vitality weakcns her nervous system. The penalty is tired, worn- out, exhausted condition which destroys her appetite, robs her of rest, and at intervals causes much suffering and distress. When these conditions exist, the weakened nerves must be strengthened. Dr. .Miles'Nervine will do this. It stimulates the action of all the organs, brings refreshing sleep, and drives away that look of care.
