Should Comply With the Law.

At the forthcoming election the election officers should be careful to comply with the law. The Re- publicans have candidate for congress and if upon failure Of the judges to comply with tho law there should be a contest the whole county might be thrown out.
 If man wants help to make his ticket the law requires two judges to assist him-not one. There should be no one admit ted to the polling booths except those who go in to vote. The polls should be opened and clos ed at the proper time The jud- ges subject themselves to indict- ment if they fail to comply with these requirements. They shoulu read over the election law and comply with it. and thus save
 any suspicion. The same judges will hold this election who held the September election.

 The statement of averages of the asso- ciated banks of New York for the week ending March II showed decreases in all important items. but the statement of actual conditions at the close of business Saturday revealed altogether a different position. Taking the actual re- port in preference to that dealing with averages of the week, specie ana legals gained s2,213,3o0 this despite the heavy payments by the banks to the treasury, rehecting clearly the continued inflow of cash to New York from the interior. Loans expanded s2,O66,7O0 while deposits rose S4,5S6,400 due to the gain in cash and the expansion in loans. The banks are still decreasing their circulation, the retirement for the week having been about three-quarters of a million.

Ever since womans beauty held sway over man and brought her power, infiu- ence and wealth. she has sought way to stay the processes of old age and banish deep lines and furrows from her brow.
 Chemists, beauty doctors and skin spe- calists have for centuries past vainly tried to fathom the sealed secrets of nature and find way to keep the beauty of youth in a womans face and form.
 Harriet Meta was no exception to the general rule of women. Trouble and worry left their unsightly lines and marks upon her face. She saw the beauty of her youth giving way to the heavy imprlnts of coming age.
 Her first resort was to face massage, cold creams and steaming pots; then next to beauty specialists. but all in vain. The wrinkles seemed. if anything, to grow deeper and deeper. Massage even ap- peared to stretch the skin; more Wrinkles came. She had spent all the money sne could afford to spend, and was ready to give up in despair when one day 1rlehi made happy suggestion.
 ! This gave her a brilliant idea. She set to work on the thing herself and after several months hard labor and almost endless experimenting she succeeded in producing a wrinkle remover entirely dil- ferent from anything she had seen or heard of She tried it on herself, and To! and behold, it worked wonderful trans formation in single night; she tried It the second night, and her wrinkles were practically gone.

OBITUARY.

So deeply sensible is the writer of the manly character and noble virtues of Charles J. Martin, who died the 24th Of February 190S that he cannot forego the sacred duty to write a few lines as the last tribute of affection and admiration. Few men have died in our midst whose loss will be so long felt or so deeply deplored Brave, true, loyal, sincere, af- fectionate, unselfsh--no wonder that he was the idol of his family, and that his friends so readily turned to, him for sympathy in their troubles and their joys. His geniality and cheerfulness, in the gloomiest times were sources of so- lace and encouragement to many of his sorrowing friends who, less resolute than himself under misfortune. would other- wise have yielded to gloom and disaster, In short he went about doing good, shedding sunshine in dismal places and setting the splendid example of manly man. He was son of Joshua Lanier Martin one of Alabamas early gover- nors and he was a worthy son or a worthy sire. Although but mere boy in 1863, yet he responded to his countrys call to arms, and bore well his part m the conflict that immortalized southern valor After the war he took up cour- ageously the battle of civil life, and in November 1867. was happily married to Miss Mamie Smith of Joneboro, Ala, ana their loving union was blessed by nine children.
