The Independent is glad to announce this
week that the clouds OF financial disaster have
disappeared and once more the business OF the
country is going on as OF yore. The elevators
are buying all the grain that the farmers care
to bring in and paying checks for the same.
These checks may be cashed at the banks, or
at least the farmer is able to get q per cent of
his money in currency and the balance
will be placed to his credit that he may
check it out This system is really the better
one under ordinary conditions and about the
only system that can be worked at all, at the
present time. Money is coming in from the
east right along and confidence has been re-
stored. Grain will likely go back to the old
price, or near it, and it is we'll for the farmers
to hold as much OF their grain until it does, if
they are in a yposition to do So. The price can
not we'll 60 any lower, and conservative grain
men with whom we have talked believe that
the price will soon be higher.

Prominent banker informed the Indepen-
dent that there were $25,OOO,OOO in currency
in the state, which however was tied up last
week, because the banks did not care to let
loose Of it. This was the wisest move that
could have been made, and we are glad to see
the peop.e take so kindly to the plan. Had the
banks allowed the people to draw their money
in FULL there would have been numerous runs,
bank failures would have been the result, bust
ness would have been crippled for long time
to come, and the depositors themselves would
have been the losers in the end. AS it is, the
banks have the currency safe within their
vaults, the money has no chance to get mixed
with the eastern currency, it will remain in the
west where it IS needed and where it rightfully
belongs We need more currency in the west,

Confederate Veteran Reunited
 With Daughter After 40 Years.

MT. Phelps was not killed. He revived enough to be carried to federal hos pital sand there recovered. He after wards escaped but could not make his way to the South and boarded a vessel for Central America. He there took part in the construction of the first railroad built in Costa Rica. At the close of the war he endeavored to To- cate his family in Georgia, but could not, owing to the general demoriiiza- etion and confusion following the war. Hearing a rumor that they had gone to Alabama, he continued his investiga- ton and advertised repeatedly In the newspapers of that state, but without success. He decided to locate perman- ently in Central America and for thir- ty-seven years was an engineer on government railroad in Costa Rica. Re- gently he retired, on full pay for life. and not long ago came back to the United States. locating temporarily In Alabama, not far from Birmingham. He decided to advertise once more for his daughter and inserted notices In Alabama newspapers and also one in a Columbus newspaper. His daughter saw the advertisement and to her 1t was like a voice from the grave. The next train carried Captain Affleck to the Alabama village where he was stopping and he told the old man that his daughter was living. The joy of the aged father--now seventy-four years of age-was pathetic. He left for Columbus with his new-found son. in-law, and at the Hotel Affleck a touching reunion took place

Columbus. Ga, March 5--(SpeciaD-- Through the medium of a newspaper advertisement W. M. Phelps, who for the past forty-one years has been a resident of Central America, has found his long lost daughter, who Is now the wife of Captain William D. Affleck, a prominent hotel proprietor of Colum- bus. MT Phelps had been under the impression that his daughter, if living. was In Alabama, and during the past few months he advertised in the lead- Ing newspapers of the State.
 Forty-six years ago he kissed his ht- tie six year old daughter goodbye and marched forth to defend the Southland from the northern invader. When next he saw his daughter she was herself grand mother.
 The story rivals fiction and father and daughter can scarcely realize that they are reunited. Mrs. Affleck was convinced that her father was slain on the bloody field of Gettysburg, over forty years ago, and when he entered the Hotel Affleck and she was inform ed that it was indeed her father she felt as if some one had risen from the dead.
 When Mir. Phelps went to the front in 1881 he left his wife and little daughter at their Georgia home. He was desperately wounded at Gettys- burg, being shot through the head and left on the field for dead. The news came--it was verified by the official reports-that he was among the slain of the battle His own mother died, years later, believeing that he had per ished there. His wife, laboring under the same belief, left Georgia and went to live with relatives in Alabama. But

 The need of an immigration bureau has been fully demonstrated here on a small scale by Thomas Hudson. A few weeks ago he wrote a letter for a Northern magazine, giving descript- ion of our country and climate. not dreaming that he would ever hear from it, but within the past ten days he has received forty letters from the State of Washington on thePaciic to theAtlantic States. These letters tell of the se- were winter and beg for more definite description of Alabama's climate, soil prices of lands.

Owing to modern methods of living not one woman in & thousand ap- breaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing 8 train of very annoying and sometimes painful symptoms.
 This is the most critical period of her whole existence and every woman who neglects the care of her health at this time invites disease and pain.
 When her system is in deranged condition or she is predisposed to apoplexy or congestion of any organ, the tendency Is at this p r d likely to become active and with 8 host of nervous irritations make life 8 burden. At this time also cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work.
 Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, backaches, melancholia, dread of im- pending evil, palpitation of the heart, Irregularities, constipation and dizzi- ness are promptly needed by intel ligent women who are approaching the period of life when this grea change may be expected.
