HUNDREDS HERE TO GREET
 COLONEL DILLINGHAM;

they will remain several weeks. There are many people here who regret to see Col. Dillingham; depart. He has afforded thousands excellent nightly entertainment since he came here four months ago, and they have enjoyed the vaudeville enter tainments his company has given, but have also listened attentively to his lec- lures and been much profited.
 These free entertainments have been first-class in every particular and none witnessed them but to have hearty laughs and to be highly entertained. Col. Dil- lingham left nothing undone to make them different every night and of the most pleasing character. This was done at a great expense, but the great adver tiser and philanthropist cares nothing for that. He has all kinds of money dnd his heart is in the work of helping afflicted humanity, and. as he said when he first opened here, it was not matter of money with him His course in the city has shown that he meant just what he said:
 "As all know Col. Dillingham; adYer- tises the famous Plant Juice remedies and has been eminently successful in in troducing them here. Hundreds of peo- pie have availed themselves of the op- portunity to get and use these remedies and many testify to the great good they have done them. Miraculous cures have been effected in the way of tape worm and other diseases of the stomach. As to the matter of tape-worm. there have been several valuable testmonia and the par asites, as the Colonel cali. tape worms, have been pdt on exhibition so that the people might see for themselves. Those who have been relieved in this way have not only not hesltated to give written tes- timonals but have also appeared on the open stage and told the crowds all about the fact that Plant Juice removed the worms.
 ''The Colonel has been highly successful in the introduction of these remedies which have accomplished wonders in the matter of curing several people of rheu matsm, notably that of Wm Townsend, who was badly afflicted, and Mrs. John Kapral who had been practically help less for five years and not able to walk at all in that time. After she had taken less than one bottle of Col. Dillingham's medicine she walked down street and within three days after she began taking the medicine was perfectly cured Other wonderful cures might be noted. The drug stores have sufficient confidence in these medicines to lay in a large stock of it and already report large sales and perfect satisfaction.
 "The Coloners departure is also regret ted because of the fact that his genial and magnetic personality have also made him many warm friends and he has form ed many friendships, the ties of which will be broken to some extent when he leaves, but the very best wishes of all who have met him here go with him.
 It is understood that during the Col onePs stay in Birmingham that the con- cert and vaudeville entertainments will be provided absolutely free for the pleas ure of the crowds and thoroughly en- joyed.
 They will continue every night this month, different program being pre- scented each night.

 me records of the circuit court, the chancery court and the sheriff are all exposed to fire in the event of a fire in the court house, as they are only placed In shelves with no sort of fire protection and half the deed and mortgage records of tho probate office are in danger be- cause there is no room for them in the vaults.
