TERMINAL STOCK YARDS

We take this means of informing the public that we will, on Saturday the 1lth inst. next, open our sale stables which we have named the Terminal Stock Yards-at the corner of Second avenue and Twenty-seventh street, near the new station It is our purpose to sell horses and mules eXelusively, and not to handle livery. We have purchased a lot with q frontage of two hundred feet on Second avenue, and erected a building at a total cost of thirty thousand dollars. We will be prepared to sell for cash or on time and solicit a share of your business.
 We have been In this line at Annis- ton and Oxford, successfully, fifteen years, and have come to Birmingham because 1t offers a larger field. We expect to buy stock direct from farmers, who raise 1t, and thus be able to meet the competition of any market. It Is not our purpose to try to take away the trade of others, but 1t is conceded that competition is a larger number of firms of this charac- ter will bring a greater trade to the city. It is a fact, generally known, that At lanta is the second largest mule market In the world, and there Is no reason why Birmingham should not either secure more liberal share of this business or command larger trade of it's own.
 We would be pleased to have you call at our place of business whether you are now In the market for stock or not We will open on Saturday the 14th instant. Very truly yours,

LITTLE BABY CURED OF ECZEMA
Parents Applied to Hospitals and Doctors but Could Get No Re- lief-Grew Worse Under Doctors Prescription - Friends Recom- mended Cuticura Result
A SPEEDY AND
 PERMANENT CURE

"We express to you herewith our best thanks for the cure of our baby from eczema. The eczema appeared when the child was three months old We applied to several doctors and hospitals, each of which gave us something differ ent every time, but nothing brought re- lief. A physician recommended salve which we threw into the fire after two days use as the eczema became worse so that the baby scratched his face. At
 last, one of our friends recommended to us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint- ment. A few days afterwards improve ment could be noted. Since then we have used nothing but Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now the baby is six months old and is quite cured.
 All that we used was one cake of Cuti- cura Soap and two boxes Cuticura Oint- ment, costing in all SIPS. Even the poorest man can pay that instead of throwing it into the doctors lap. I myself only make twelve dollars week as a teamster, but I recommend the Cuticura Remedies strongly to all moth- CTS whose children suffer from such dis eases. They are cheap, harmless and good. c.
