SPELLING BEE IS
 HELD IN PRATTYILLE
TOWN SELLERS DEFEAT U. D. G. ON THE WORD "ASCENDENCY." BONDS WILL BE ISSUED FOR SANITARY IMPROVEMENTS.

Prattville, December -(Special)-The NJ E. Pratt chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, cleared $36 receipts at the door for their spelling bee at the court house last night. The contest was between the United Daughters of the Con federacy ladies and select spoilers of the town generally There were twenty on a side at the beginning. The contest lasted about two hours, and was decided by the judges in favor of the town spoilers. For several minutes there was one on side but the United Daughters of the Confed- eracy speller spelled "ascendency' 'as- cendancy'', and it was taken that she missed the word. As Webster gives both spellings as correct, the town spoilers have nothing to brag on in defeating them.

The Best Guaranty of Merit
 Is Open Publicity.

Every bottle of Dr. Pierce's world famed medicines leaving the great labo-- ratory at Buffalo, N; r., has printed upon Its wrapper all as,, the ingredients r,d e ts alone places D7. Pierce's Family Medi- cines jl G class dlJ by then1selpes. They capDCt be classed with patent or secret medicines because they are neither. This is why so many unprejudiced physicians prescribe them and recommend them to their patients. They, know what they are composed of, and that the ingredients are those endorsed by the most eminent medical authorities.
 The further fact that neither Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, tho great stomach tonic, liver invigorator, heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his 1Favorite Prescription for weak, over contains any alcohol, also entities them to place all by themselves.
 Many years ago, Dr. Pierce discovered that chemically pure glycerine, of proper strength, is better solvent and preserv- ative of the medicinal principles resid- ing in our indigenous, or native, medi- cinal plants than is alcohoi; and. further. more, that 1t possesses valuable medicinal properties of It's own, being demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic, and most efficient antiferment.
 Neither of the above medicines con tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit forming drug, as will be seen from a glance at the formula printed on each bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and potent to cure.
 Not only do physicians prescribe the above, non-secret medicines largely, but the most intelligent people employ them people who would not think of using the ordinary patent, or secret medicines. Every ingredient entering into the com position of Dr. Pierce's medicines has the strongest kind of an endorsement from leading medical writers of the several schools of practice. No other medicines put up for like purposes has any such professional endorsement.

Slayer of Coal Eating Betty Bound
 Over.

Dick Burns, the white man charged with larceny of hog from w. T. Rogers, a ell known citizen, was given prelim- mary hearing before Justice of the Peace C. H. Mandy this morning and bound over to the criminal court of Jefferson county under a $50 bond.
 The evidence introduced was sufficient to warrant Judge Mandy in binding the alleged hog killer over to the higher court.
 Burns is a butcher by trade, and it is alleged that he stole the pet pig of MT Rogers, butchered 1t and appropriated the meat to his own use. The hog was com monly known as Coal Eating Betty. so-called from the unusual habit it had for eating coal.
 Suspicion pointed to Burns. and when his house was searched I hog bearing the signs of having eaten coal was found He was promptly arrested and charged with the crime. The arrest was made by Con- stable Lee White.

Play Very Successful.

The second and last performance of Damon and Pythias, presented under the auspices of Ensley lodge Knights of Pythias was given at the Ensley opera house tonight.
 As was the case at the initial perform ance last night, the house was crowded, and with a representative audience. The play Is a great success. Possibly the most able talent that could have been pro cured in Ensley was represented in the cast and under the stage direction of the veteran actor. MT. James E. Owens, re- gently of New York performance well worthy of the professional was rendered. MT. owens is a member of the faculty of the Birmingham College of Music and Art being the instructor in oratory ex pression and dramatic art. He himself played the role of Damon and his ability, artistic temperament and highly dramatic interpretation was universally recognized and appreciated.
 Robert L. Daniel. as Dionysius, gen eral in the army, and subsequently, king, showed great ability and his portrayal of the tyrant was masterly
 Charles H. Mandy, as Pythias. an off cer in the army. and friend of Damon, was excellent and in the thrilling eli maxes his intense and earnest efforts were loudly applauded.
 Mrs Sam N. Watson as Calanthe, the fair lady of Syracuse. and betrothed to PythIas. was very charming and dainty and her interpretation of the role was admirable.
 Mrs l. W. Clayton as Hermoine, wife of Damon, was most excellent and the pleading with her husband to refrain from his determination to return to what seemed certain death. was most appeal ing to the audience.
 H. C. Russell. as Philistius. the tool of Dionysius. the tyrant and president of the senate Sam N. Matson. as Damocles senator w. R. Stewart. ss Procles, sol dier and A. R. Mays. as Lucullus. the Italian slave of Damon. were all excellent and showed marked ability.
 Music a Feature.
 The music which was most pleasing feature was rendered by the orchestra of the Birmingham College of Music and Art. which was under the personal di- rection of Prof Roy Young.
 Miss Otillo Buckshaw and Mir. George Ryan of Birmingham, sang two solos. Miss Fabian the brilliant young violin ist, played an Hungarian rhapsody by Hauser. Miss Fabian Is only 12 years of age. She completely captivated the au- dience by her skillful and artistic play ing
