 Mir. Charles B. Jasaes, care James EanitoriuIn. Memphis. Tenn.-Dear Sir: several months ago when began your Home Treatment for Drug Addiction I was one of the most miserable persons on earth. When under tho influence of the drug was low spirited had no hope of the future and felt myself an outcast. It was .enly a few days after beginning your treatment that | realized that the injurious effects of the drug was being overcome conse- quently the miserable gloom that had overcast my life so long was rapidly being uplifted, and ray of hope was to be seen In the distance. and by fol. lowing your rules and regulations in the use of your remedies, and taking proper care of myself. this gloomy feels ing entirely disappeared and am tor day as happy as anyone can be-.
 From my experience I learned that anyone who would promise you relief without an effort on your part was a fake and fraud, consequently Svhen you wrote mo that your home remedies could not possibly prove successful unless you had the honest co-operation of the, patient I realized that you were dealing with me on business principles, and consequently made up my mind that your remedies were what you claimed for them, and that with my co-operation you would give me relief. which you did. I cannot com. naand words sufficient to tell you how l appreciate what your medicine, ac- coEnpanied by your kind letters of en- couragement. did for me Your letters were encouraging and you treated, me as sick person and not as one who was the victim of a vicious habit. You encouraged me to do right all the way through and having done right met with success. consequently ] an. today a new person, and would not for any consideration be back where .l was before began the use of your remedy.
 Wishing you every success in your work and hoping that you may be able to reach the hundreds of thous- ands of drug users who are today leading most miserable lives, and to be instrunental in restoring them to good health. ! remain, your. appreciatfve' friend, WILLIE EDWARDS,

 For the past year Columbus cotton men and brokers have received their reports from an exchange located in Girard, just across the Chattahooche river. but the new Alabama law de- prives them of this source of tnfornia- fton. 1t is regarded as probapIe that the Board of Trade will contract to take leased wire service, furnishing mar ket reports to members.

One cannot witness presentation of one of tho old standard British dramas by really standard company without drawing comparison that isn't quite to the advantage Of the modern play. Richard Brinsiey sheridan's comedies, for example. compare with the average so-called comedy of the latter day about as the poetry of Byron and Ten- nyson does with that of--well. 1t Is hardly worth while to call names.
 There are few. habitues of the play house, who have not seen "The Rivals" many times, for 1t Is comedy that many actors like to play. and one which the. late Joseph Jefferson has produced hundreds of times within the riemorv of the present generation. For years the idea has been prevalent that no one could play the character of Bob Acres quite as well as he did, yet in his son William is recognized chip of the old block and scion worthy to follow in the footsteps of his illustri- ous sire.
 The Sir .Lucius o'Trigger of MT. Jo- seph Jefferson Is said to be a finished bit of acting that is decidedly pleas ing and the same artistic thoroughness that characterized the work of w. J. Florence in the same part.
 This performance will be the attrac- tion at the Montgomery Theatre on Saturday matinee and night.
