Kindly allow me to
correct my own mistake and add little
to Old Settlers Lore. Josiah, and not
Joseph, Morgan came in 1S49 and occu-
pied the Mormon church. Josiah Nor
gan, Asa Burrell and William Hamilton
were the first commissioners and in
1850 divided Decatur county into four
townships, giving them their own
names thus perpetuating their fame and
memory, which was right. In 1854 the
number of townships was increased to
sixteen. During the winter of 80 and go
William Davis bought the entire Nor
mon claim, paying four hundred dollars.
He sold most of it in eighty acre lots
for one dollar an acre for improved
land. The first choice was bought by
Q. N. Kellogg for $50 there being so
acres cultivated. On this he built the
California house and afterwards the
house or hotel. The next choice to
Enos Davis for forty dollars and he
moved a cabin onto it to where the
school house now stands. Some later
the Mormons made claims and sold the
improvements, outside "big field" which
was church property.

CURE FOR HAY FEVER.
L. p. Van Werden Says Hyomei will
Give Relief. Sold Under
Guarantee.

The hay fever season is at hand and
many people have already arranged to
leave town so that they may avoid the
sneezing, the watery eyes, and other
annoying symptoms of this disagreeable
summer disease.
L. P. Van Werden wishes us to an
nounce that when Hyomei is used as a
preventative or a cure there will be no
hay fever. He advises daily treatment
with Hyomei for couple of weeks be-
fore the usual time for the appearance
of the disease. If this is done, the at
tack will be prevented. However if the
treatment is not started soon enough
and the disease makes it's appearance,
use Hyomei six or seven times daily
and relief will be had at once.
There is no stomach dosing when
Hyomei is used. Breathe it through
the neat pocket inhaler that comes in
every outfit, so that the medication
reaches the minutest air cells, killing
all germs and soothing and healing the
diseased membrane.
The complete outfit costs but S1.OO,
extra bottles SOC. 1t is the only treat.

The old Hawkins bridge over Weldon
at VIM. Pettys Shore Stock Farm four
miles west of Lineville, has been re-
placed by much larger and finer up
to-date structure which was completed
yesterday by Decatur county's popular
bridge contractor, Joe Leeper and his
force of workmen. For this valuable
improvement the people are indebted to
county supervisor G. w. Barr, as we'll as
for the excellent job of grading
the road across the bottom west of the
new bridge. The new bridge is higher,
longer, and in every way superior to the
old structure, in short. is probably the
best bridge in Decatur county, and be-
ing mainly constructed Of steel will no
doubt stand for generation or two at
least. The new bridge will be christen-
ed the "Petty Bridge" VIM. Petty, of
this place, having owned the old Haw-

Robert Hutchcroft met with painful
accident while in town Saturday after
noon. He had purchased large load of
lumber and driven it up opposite M. P.
Tilton & Co.'s store where he had
purchased a quantity OF groceries. He
was just in the act of lifting a box of
groceries onto the load when the team
started, and the wagon wheel caught
the toes of his right foot and pinched
the nails off his great toe and the next
one. The wound was painful one and
will cause Robert considerable incon-
venience for some time. DR.. J. B. Hor-
ner dressed the njuries.-Lamoni

Elijah Huff, jr., met with an accident
Monday which might have resulted
seriously if not fatally. He was on a
wagon load of sheaf oats when the top
of the load fell off. When the load fell
off the pitchfork went with it the top of
the handle strikingthe ground and stand
ing straight up. He fell on the fork with
his entire weight, the tines entering his
hip and throwing him several feet from
the load. One of the tines entered his
hip penetrating to the bone and bend
ing the tine over to the next one. He
pulled the fork out and came to town
where physician dressed the wound.
His hip bone, in all probability, saved
his life as had he turned half around
the tines would have entered the small
of his back or bowels according to
which way he turned. In either case
the wound would in all probability have
proven fatal. While the wound is a
painful one it is not serious and his re-
covery is matter of but short time

PHILLIPS AT UNIVERSITY.
Birmingham Man Talks on School
 Hygiene and Tuberculosis.

University, July 3.-tSpecial) )-This
 morning before the general assembly Dr.
 Phillips delivered the third of his series
 of lectures before the summer school, the theme of his talk being School Hygiene
 with Special Reference to the Prevention of Tuberculosis.' Dr. Phillips said:
 "Fhe four clements of the ancient phi losophy, earth, air, fire and water, sug-
 gest the essential lines of school-room sanitation. l. Cleanliness 2 Ventilation. 3. Heating. 1. The water supply" Under these four heads he described the conditions of the average school room and suggested remedies to be used by the teacher for the removal of the conditions l favorable to the development of the tu- 1 bercular germ. He urged that the brooms and feather duster, as generally used, are deadly instruments of infection. and that 1 in the absence of proper floor prepara ton the oiled brush and the dampened cloth should be substituted. He urged the inn l portance of light and fresh air as inlmi- l cal to the tubercular germ. and that the | sources of the fresh air and water sup | ply should be carefully guarded from 1 contamination. We need not simply text | book knowledge, but wisdom to apply | this Knowledge practically in the im- provement of school and home conditions. Many practical suggestions were given | from the standpoint of experience, which if observed by teachers would tend to | check the devastation caused by the
 white plague
 Attention Is again called to the meet ing of teachers to be held at the uni verslty next week for the consideration of proposed amendments and additions to
 the school laws of the state which may
 come lp at the next meeting of the lcgis-
 lature. Tho call was issued some time
 since by the executive committee of the Alabama Educational association to the teachers of the state and others interest,"
 ed in the cause of education. and it can
 hardly be allowed to pass unheeded, for it
 is of vital interest. Railroad rates of one
 fare plus 25 cents for the round trip

 iion of the conference and the appoint-
 ment of committees will take place on

It was caused by the admir- ing friends of F. M.
