BLUE DEVILS"
Get Rid of Indigestion and Things Will Look Bright and Joyous.

Even in the present era of prosperity and good times everything appears black to those people who are suffering wretchedly from some form of indi- Restion. Where digestion Is quick, complete and easy there Is a joyous and hopeful outlook. but indigestion causes depression.
 The want of a safe effective cure for sick headache, indigestion and stomach troubles. was always felt until the pre- scription known as Mi-o-na stomach tablets was put up in popular form and proved it's invariable success in the many forms of indigestion.
 After few days use of Mi-o-na stomach tablets the headache. dizzy feeling, drowsiness, bad taste In the mouth, coated tongue, nervousness, sleepIessness, distress after eating- all these symptoms of weak stomach will disappear and perfect digestion and good skin will show that the vital machinery Is once more running smoothly.
 Mi-o-na Is to be taken before each meal and 1t will stimulate the secre- tive and digestive juices and strength en the whole of the digestive system so that the unpleasant full feeling will be absent and indigestion prevented.
 Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold only in a neat metal box convenient for the pocket and cost 50 cents. E. c. Fowler has seen so many cures made by Mi-o- na stomach tablets that he gives a guarantee with every box that the money will be refunded if the remedy fails to give satisfaction

ECCLES HERE SOON
GOSSIP IN RAILROAD CIRCLES OF
 NEW WESTERN MAN.
Understood He Comes on the susges- ton of MT. Ansiey, Whom He Succeeds, Because 0r Need
 of More HeIn.

There was considerable gossip in railroad circles yesterday over the ap- pointment of Judge E. c. Eccles, of Nashville, as General Freight Agent of the Western of Alabama and the At lanta and West Point Railroads to Buc- ceed M. M. Ansley.
 It is understood that the appointment of Judge Eccles was made on the sug- gestion of MT. Ansley, as the result of a recent conference in Atlanta between President Wickersham and Mir. Ansley The increasing work incumbent on the general freight agent was too much for one man. Besides performing the du- ties of general freight agent in rate matters, MT. Ansley had also transact ed all of the solicitation for the com pany.
 Jude Eccles was appointed for the purpose of relieving the congestion. He will be known as general freight agent as he will have charge of all matters pertaining to rates. MT. Ansley will have charge of all solicitation and his duties in this canacity will necessitate him to travel a great deal. He will be known as the assistant general Freight agent His salary will remain us 1t has always been.
 Judge Eccles is expected to reach Montgomery in a day or two to take charge of his new work.
 The interchange of William c. Hun ter and Charles E. Rodenberg of the Western is also said to have been made by mutual agreement between the two officials.
