Birmingham. Ala. Oct. 18th.
 A remarkable Instantaneous cure of an old cripple before the eyes of a large crowd of people caused consid- cradle excitement yesterday evening. when Robert cotrell. whose bent and crippled figure has been a familiar sight on the streets of this city. was assisted up the platform steps of Col Dillingham; and a few minutes later came down unaided and without either crutch or cane.
 ''The old man had been ia a bad fix for several years and recently got so bad as to need crutches In order to get along. He was induced by some friends to go down to Colonel Dilling- ham. the millionaire medicine man. who is operating extensively in this dis triet. and did 50 with. the above re- suit.
 ''The old fman's face. after some of the Plant gu uice Liniment was applied to his limbs and he was told to walk alone. was the picture of increduiity. until after some persuasion he made the attempt. when it was changed to one of sNrprise--thsn of delight and he lespt down the platform steps and caused quite a sensation by his antics of delight.

We again call attention TO voters who
have not already paid their 1906 poll
taxes u do so by May 4th. as this is
the last day that payment can be made
in order 10 vote in November. Let this
payment be made in person and not
by another, as the law directs, and then
voters will be free and untrameled.
1t has been the custom since poll
tax has been in voyage for Col. Slemp's
chief mogul TO take a trip over the
district shortly before the expiration
of time for poll tax payment, then you
would find S1.5S negotiable notes fly
ing, and ''pie eaters" getting busy in
this work. We hope this demoralizing
influence will cease this year, as 1t
eventually will have to, and that the
law will be strictly adhered TO by all
from now on.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
Of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it Is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its narmal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

Young Trees For Forest Planting.

In general it may he said that young
trees cannot be grown successfully
without rather careful attention. Yet 1t
Is certain that seedlings can be grown
in connection with the vegetable gar
den at only a slight expense Of time
and material and by methods very sim
liar to we'll known garden practice. The
cheapness OF the young trees thus pro-
duced should enable the small land
owner to plant much more extensively
and to realize profit by the protection
afforded his buildings or crops or by
the utilization of waste land fer the
production OF wood material.

THE STOCK SALES MATTER

Some one asks, whats the matter
with Stock Sales Day?" Wen tell you
want of advertising. The reason
there are not more stock and buyers
here on Sales Day is because there is
SO little advertising done. The amount
of money and time spent in giving pub
LEFTY to this enterprise has been com
paratively nothing, and what has been
done has been done chiefly by one
man, and he doesn't live in town. and
can get along alright without it.
Such an enterprise as this won't go
ut all without advertising Papers out
side the county should be used, and an
effort made to reach the people--ts

be willing to aid in the work of adver-
