A RELIABLE MEDICINE
Why Our Local Druggist, E. c.
 Fowler, Recommends Vinol.

So many patent medicines and adver- tised cures are now offered to the pub lie that our readers will be glad to know the opinion of man who has spent years in handling them, and profit by his advice.
 Said Mir. Fowler: There is no one medicine that will cure everything, but this I do know, that if the people of Montgomery only realized the wonder full curative and strength creating DOW CT of Vinol I would not have clerks enough in my store to put up the or ders for it.
 You see. Vinol is not patent medi- cine, and 1t actually does contain ev- cry one of the fifty odd medicinal cura- tives actually taken from fresh cods' flyers, with the useless oil eliminated and tonic iron added. It contains no poisonous drugs, and you know just what you are taking
 ''Therefore, in the strongest manner we indorse and recommend Vinol to in- crease the appetite. cure stomach troubles. give strength to the run down tired and debilitated, invigorate and build up old people, make rich, red blood, cure chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis. If 1t fails we return your money" F. 0. Fowler. Druggist. 4
 Note.--While we are sole agents for Vinol in Montgomery, 1t is now for sale at the leading drug store in nearly ev- cry town and city in the country Look for the Vinol agency in your town

VAIN IS RELEASED
NOT HELD FASHIONABLE FOR
 FRIENDS DEATH.
Many Attend Funeral Services of Thomas Parker, slain By Acct- dental Discharge of Pistol
 by Companion.

Following the decision of Coroner Tice. that the death of 15-Sear-old Thomas Battle Parker was the result of wounds inflicted by the accidental discharge of a pistol In the hands of Cecil Yam, wednesday afternoon at the dry goods store of }. l.. cobbs and Company, young Vann was released from the custody of the police yester- day morning.
 C. U. Parker, the father of the dead boy. telephoned Wednesday night to police headquarters, asking that young Yam be released. as he realized the shooting was an accident. The request however, was not compiled with until Coroner Tice telephoned his decision in the matter yesterday morning.
 The tragedy occurred Wednesday at- ternoon at o'clock in the Cobbs store on Dexter Avenue, while the majority of the employees of the store were at dinner. The two boys, Cell Vann, aged nineteen years, and Thomas Parker, aged fifteen. who were warm friends, having worked together for several years, were examining a pistol which was supposed to be unloaded, when Vann pulled the trigger. and the pistol was discharged. the bullet inflicting wound from which the lad died at o'clock Thursday morning.
 The death of the boy cast a gloom over the store in which he worked, for he was a favorite with everyone in the building. Cecil Vann is also high ly regarded by his employers and among the employees. His grief at the unhappy affair Is heart rending.
 The funeral service of Thomas Park CT was conducted yesterday afternoon at o'clock at the family residence, 40 Finley avenue. Through the pour Ing rain. the sympathetic friends and acouaintances of the young boy and of his family made their way to the residence. till the home could not ac- commodate the number. During the service scores of people stood outside the home. protected from the rain by umbrellas.
 Many beautiful flowers in various designs were sent to the home. among which were designs from the firm of J. l.. cobbs and Company, from the employees of that firm, One of the handsomest designs was the Individual gift of Cecil Vann. sent in his own name.
 The funeral services were conduct ed by Rev Eldred M. stewart. pastor of the South Side Baptist Church, and the music for the service was by a special choir. -~
 The following were pallbearers: A. H. Eubanks, W. D. Johnson, T. c. Fitz- patrick, John J. Canty. o. J. Nix and J. R. Proctor. Interment was made at oakwood cemetery.

From one of our wfre-grass contem- poraries, the name of which we regret that we neglected to retain, we clip this interesting item of news:
 The remaining sheep raisers of Gen. eva County have arranged for a meet ing to be held in Geneva on Saturday. March 3. and much practical good is ex' pected to result from the meeting.
 The question of raising an improved grade will be discussed by one who has had long experience in the business and range in this section has become limit ed the question is important to sheep owners.
 MT. Terry has 100 sheep that come up every night and he will be at the meet ing to tell of these and other things.
 MT. Samuel Archer has 1000 and he will tell how to improve the clip, the mutton, and the sheep. MT. Archer has lately moved to this section from North Carolina and for a great number of years has been a successful sheep rais- CT. He brought with him sheep that will shear over twenty pounds and his experience will be valuable to owners.
 This is what we can unhesitatingIy pronounce a move in the right direc- tion. Time was when sheep raising was both popular and profitable. There were no immense focks in any section, but sheep raisers on a small scale were numerous. Baldwin County was once a great sheep range, and in both South and North Alabama almost every farm CT had sheep as part of his stock supply. but of late years the business has fallen off very much. Various causes have contributed to this result, one being the depredations of worth- less dogs and another the bringing into cultivation so much of the land that was formerly forest well adapted te sheep raising.
 We cordially approve the contemplat- ed movement and hope 1t will prove a success. To increase The number az we'll as the quality of sheep in Alabama, are two objects that may we'll engage the earnest attention and efforts of all loyal A1abamians. Both wool and mutt ton are always in demand and both bring good prices. To increase the supply and the quality of each is to add to the profits of the farmer and the sheep raisers. That the meeting for next Saturday will be well attended and that it will be the beginning of a new era in Alabama's prosperity, is "a consummation devoutly to be wished"

The movement for abolition not only of the upper parliamentary cham her but of the hereditary incomes attached to many of these titles is gaining strength. The disposition to create new peerages is less marked. DemoeracY Is surely tendency to let the titled aristocracy dry up and blow way Of course there will still be left the continental aristocracy of titles. on which the helresses may fall back when the English supply Is exhausted.
