 very interesting event took place at the close of the regular Sunday school ex- ercises of the Baptist church Sunday morning. Immediately after the secreta- rys report, Assistant Superintendent Rob inson Brown asked Superintendent Palmer to surrender him the chair for few mo- ments Mir. Brown stated that it was the wish of the school to manifest some of the great esteem In which Professor Palmer had been held by the pupils and officials of the Sunday school during the long time that he had acted as it's superintendent
 He thereupon called upon Judge Henry B. Poster, who in a brief and eloquent speech presented to Professor Palmer on behalf of the Sunday school beautiful gold watch as a slight testimonial of the high regard in which he is held.
 The matter was one of complete surprise to Professor Palmer, and apparently he was deeply touched. He responded in feeling talk and spoke of the happy con nection that he had maintained with the school and the delight the work had been to him and his regret at being forced to sever his ties with 1t.
 At the conclusion of his remarks all of the pupils and officials of the school came forward and gave him a hearty hand grasp and wished him Godspeed in his new field

The watch which was pre- scnted him is d very handsome one and will have an engraved picture of the church on the inside of the cover, and otherwise appropriately engraved.

The catalogue for the Tuscaloosa Fe- male college, which is to open here again in the fall of the year. has been issued
 and several copies have been scattered over the city. From this it appears that the college is to have an unusually strong faculty, and will be thorough in every thing undertaken. The faculty is small
 numerically speaking, but the authorities have evidently spared no pains in secur- ing able teachers. The catalogue Is d very attractive little volume, and Is a splendid product, considering the very short notice upon which it was compiled.

WHAT The KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When heal
thy they remove about 500 grains of
impure matter daily, when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left
in the blood This brings on many
diseases and symptoms--pain in the
back, headache nervousness, hot, dry
skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel, disor-
ders of the eyesight and hearing, dir
ziness, irregular heart, debility drow-
siness dropsy deposits in the urine,
etc. But if you keep the filters right
you will have no trouble with your
kidneys.

CLEAN YOUR BLOOD.
Valuable Prescription which Takes Out
the Impurities and Tones Up syttem.

A leading health journal in answer
ing the question, What is the best pre-
scription TO cleah and purify the
blood" prints In recent issue the fol-
lowing: Fluid Extract of Dandelion,
one.half ounce, Compound Kargon, one
ounce Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla,
three ounces. Shake well and use In
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
ut bedtime.
A well known local druggist who Is
familiar with this prescription, states
| that il Is harmless, being composed of
simple ingredients which can be OBJ
tanned from any good prescription phar
macy
II cleans the blood of all impurities
and nourishes the blood. In just
few days the skin begins to clear OF
sores, boils and pimples. 1t puts Wig
or and energy into the rundown, de-
biitated men and women. For many
years Sarsaparilla alone has been con-
sidered good blood medicine. But
while ii built UP and made new blood
the impurities remained within and the
good accomplished was only temper
larry. Sarsaparilla, however, when used
in combination with Compound Kargon
and Extract Dandelion works wonders.
This combination puts the kidneys to
work TO filter and sift out the waste
matter, uric acid and other impurities
that cause disease. 1t makes new
blood and relieves rheumatism and
lame back and bladder troubles.
This prescription is better than the
usual patent medicines, which are in
the most part alcoholic connections.
The ingredients cost but little and are
easily mixed at home. Every man and
woman here should make some up and
try it il they feel their system requires
a good blood medicine and tonic.
The Kargon to clean the kidneys
and vitalize them so they can clean
the blood, Sarsaparilla to make new
rich blood and Dandelion to tone the
stomach, clean the liver and make IL
active and relieve constipation is the
way the prescription acts and so mild
~ and gently that one does not con
slider they are taking a medicine.

six DAY HOLIDAY.
Acting Governor OF Oklahoma Takes
step to Protect Bankers.


Step to Protect Bankers.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.--"It was a
surprise to me-" said Governor Frantz
OF Oklahoma In speaking Of the action
Of Acting Governor Fllson in Issuing
proclamation declaring legal holl-
day OF six days and the closing OF the
banks Of the territory as a result. Act
Ing Governor Ellison had notified Gov
ernor Frantz of his action by telegraph.
~ have been away from Oklahoma
for several days" said the governor,
"and therefore I am not as familiar
with the financial situation there as
otherwise would be, but am satisfied
that the acting governor took the step
on the advice Of the bankers OF the
territory. The small country banks
have large deposits In st. Louis and
Kansas City, and the action Of those
banks in refusing to ship any currency
to the country banks OF Oklahoma
makes 1t almost impossible for the
latter to handle their business.
Il do not see how II can inJuriously
affect the railroad or cotton business,
as seems to be feared on the New
York exchanges. There is no reason
why 1t should. The closing Of the
banks simply protects them against
any run that might be made against
them. However, II 1t is found that the
holiday order results in stagnation Of
business 1t can be revoked at any
time"
Governor Frantz called at the treas
ury department and brought Acting
Governor Filson's telegram to the at
tention of Secretary Cortelyou.
Governor Frantz said, however, that
Secretary Cortelyou did not express
any concern over the closing Of the
banks In Oklahoma.
