That Mrs. Carrie Nation doesn't want people to enjoy themselves in 4ny old way. 1t would seem. She looks on drinking as an invention of satan and smoking as its twin brother. Now she comes out with the declaration that hugging Is immoral, and next we know she will issue an expert and heated illumination against kissing. and ncene knows what will be next. We are get ting sour on Carrie. Just because she Is old and ugly is no excuse for her trying to keep others from enjoying themselves. Nobody wants to hug her, we imagine.

The Huntsville Mercury admits that it slipped up in saying that the assessed valuation of property in Alabama was s1,ooo,0oo.ooo. It meant, according to its statement that correct valuation CTS of thousands of acres of land. who somewhat disposed to agree with 1t to the extent at least of saying That values for taxation are far below what the parties who give in would take for their property We have heard of own CTS of thousands of acres of land. who hold them for taxation at ridfculously low figures. and would not sell them for i've times the amount on which they pay taxes. In some counties lands are given in by their owners at two and three times below the valuation placed on just as good land in other counties This is not right or just. Bur- dens should rest equally upon all. 5ss

 There is often foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue and if the inte- rior of the stomach could be seen it would show Slimy, inhsmed condi- tion.
 The cure fer this common and obsti- nate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digcsted before it has time to fermcnt aud iTritate the delicate mu- cous surfaces of the stomach To sc- ! cure prompt and healthy digestion Is the one necessary thing to do, and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal con litiun will have disap- peared.

SELMA CITY COURT
SUIT FOR POSSESSION OF BUILDING
 CALLED.
Litigatioa Between Peoples Bank and Trust Company and Tissier Hard ware Company. Involving Lease,
 Comes Up.
Advertiser Bureau.

Advertiser Bureau.
 Selma, Jan. 22.
 A number of cases on the civil docket Of the City Court of Selma were dis posed of at the session of the court this morning. None of the cases which came up was of very much import ance and probably the most impor tant case on the civil docket of the court was started this afternoon and the de- cision which will be rendered will be looked forward to with a great deal of interest. This is the case of the Peo- ples Bank and Trust Company vs. the Tissier Hardware Company.
 Some months ago the three story building on the northeast corner of Broad and Water streets, at present occupied by the Tissier Hardware Com pany, was sold at public auction. Mir. Tissier, as we'll as C. M. Howard, pres ident of the Peoples Bank and Trust Company, was an active bidder for this piece of property. The property was finally knocked down to MT. Howard, the price paid being in tine netghbor- hood of $27,000.
 Mr. Tissier and his attorneys claim that the lease which the Tissler Hard ware Company had upon the building hclds good, even after the sale of the property. The other side claims that the sale of the property for division among the heirs made this lease null and void. Upon a clause in the lease contract ,the legal fight for the posses sion of the building is being made.
 The Tissier Hardware Company wants 10 stay in possession of tine building for the period of their lease as 1t would be difficult matter fui them to get possession of a building large enough to put their immense stock in. Tho bank wants possession of the building at once as they want tc remodel it and move in as $ an as pos sible.
 Ever since the sale of the property the lease held by the Tiss.er Hardware Company upon the satne has beer thrashed over thoroughly 3y attorneys The case .was taken up in the Cits Court this afternoon. and the fight fol the possession of the building promises ! to be hotly contested one and ever | after decision is rendered in the City l Court. the case may be appealed to | higher court.
