NEW BUILDINGS TO BE BUILT AT ONCE New Decatur Will Have Four
 Brick Schools s. P. LOVELADY IS DEAD Had Been Commissioner of Morgan County for Number of Years.
 Max J. Cohn Is Dead
 at Ashevile.

Decatur. March 4.-(Special) This spring the city of New Decatur will spend the sum of $25,COO in the erection of public school buildings. A bond issue for this amount has been authorized by a vote of the people some time ago.
 Four buildings will be erected in the city as follows; East Decatur. West De- catur, South Decatur and central New Decatur. In the central portion of the city is a large brick school building. erected some years ago at cost of about $20,0OO. and the other sections of the city now have frame school houses.
 During the past few years New De- caturs popula ton has increased so rapidly that these various buildings haze become too small, and now these frame structures are to be removed and in their stead are to be erected more modern and more commodious structures of brick.
 When New Decatur was first plated as a city in 1886 the organizers of the town had in view public schools for the future city, and with this in view they donated lots in the various sections of the town for school purposes. From the earliest days New Decatur has been noted for her public schools. There is not a city in Alabama that can boast of more or better schools than New Decatur. Here teachers are well paid for their services and as result New Decatur has some of the most able teachers in the south The gradu ates of her High school are fitted to enter the freshman class of the state colleges or to take up professional course in the university.

 WEEKS AT COST OF 75c.

"I feel it my duty to parents of other poor suffering babies to tell you what Cuticura has done for my little daughter. She broke out all oyer her body with humor, and we used everything recom- mended, but without results. called in three doctors, they all claimed they could help her, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was a mass of sores, and her little face was being eaten away. Her ears looked as if they would drop of. Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and before had used half of the cake of Soap and box of Ointment the sores had all healed, and my little ones face and body were as clear as newborn babes. I would not be without it again if it cost five dollars. instead of seventy-fve cents, which is all it cost us to cure our baby, after spending many dollars on doctors and medicines without any benefit whatever.
