BURGLARS ENTER
TURRENTINE HOME
Are Frightened Away Before
Goods Are Taken
THE TlDEWATER FRANCHISE
Company viii Again Make an Appeal
to Gadsden City Council Next
Monday Nieht-The
City Election.
THE TlDEWATER FRANCHISE

Gadsden, February -(Special)-One Of
the boldest attempts at burglary in some
time was discovered last night just as the
thieves had entered the residence of Mrs.
George e. Turrentine on Turrentine ave
nue..
Mrs. Turrentine heard a noise in the
house between Il and 12 o'clock and start
ed to investigate, and was making her
way through the hall to the front of the
house, when the front door was sudden
1y opened and she was confronted by four
negroes, two grown and two very small
ones.
Mrs. Turrentines cries for help fright
ened the negroes away. The police We're
telephoned for and came out and made
a careful investigation, but We're unable
to get any clew. There were indications
that the two small negroes had entered
the house from the rear and had made
their way to the front door and had OPP
ened it, Just as Mrs. Turrentine appeared
on the scene.
There was no one in the house at the
time except Mrs. Turrentine and her sis
ter, and it is thought that the negroes
knew this fact. The Turrentine home is
in one of the thickly settled residence
sections, and the attempt is one of the
most daring ever committed.
1t is stated that the Tidewater Develop
ment company will make another attempt
to secure a franchise to enter this city
with it's electric railway. which they pro
pose to build from Tuscaloosa to this
city. The matter will be brought before
the City Council at the meeting next Mon
day night. The citizens here and along the
proposed route are anxious for the line to
be built, and will give their hearty sup
port.

A Reasonable Plea
For the Stomach
If Your Stomach Is Lacking In Digest
i've Power, Why Not Help the Stom-
ach Do Its Work-Especially
When II Costs Nothing to Try?

Not with drugs, but with a reinforce
ment of digestive agents, such as arc
naturally at work in the stomach? Scien-
tifc analysis shows that digestion re-
auires pepsin, heterogeneous ferments, and
the secretion of hydrochloric acid. When
your food fails to digest, 1t is proof posi-
tive that some of these agents are lack
ing in your digestive apparatus.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets contain
nothing but these natural elements neces-
sary to digestion and when placed at
work in the weak stomach and small
intestines, supply what these organs
need They stimulate the gastric glands
and gradually bring the digestive organs
back to their normal condition.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have been
subjected to critical chemical tests at
home and abroad and are found to con-
tain nothing but natural digestives

ents. The election was one of the liveliest
