MILL IS CLOSED
 DOWN AT ATHENS
Court Is In Session and Busy With the Trial of Civil
 Cases.

Athens. January 7.-(Special 1.-The peo- pie of Athens were much surprised and grieved this morning to learn that the Athens cotton mill had closed down and all hands were discharged. This state of things was brought about by the fact that there was no market for the yarns of the mill, and the mill could not af- ford to operate when the product could not be marketed This throws more than 100 people out of employment at a very hard time of the year and most of them, if not all are without funds. It is serious blow to the business of the town, as these people spent all they made with the tradespeople of Athens. The factory had no commissary. 1t Is understood that the company will allow the tenants of the many cottages to remain there until they can find something to do.
 Circuit court is in session here with Judge D. w. Speake presiding. There will be three weeks of civil work. No criminal cases will be heard, and the judge hopes to clear the docket of all civil cases. There is no grand jury at this term of the court, the legislature having abolished the grand jury at this term owing to the fact that it was so difficult to get witnesses to attend and the weather and roads at this season of the year is so severe.

LOCATING BOARD
 AT HALEYVILLE
THE WINSTON TOWN OFFERS UNI USUAL INDUCEMENTS FOR LocA. TON OF COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL. PROPOSITION GUARANTEED

Haleyville, January IT, Special )- Governor Conner and General Brandon of the state high school board arrived here yesterday afternoon at $40 o'clock from Russellville, to hear Haleyville's proposition and inspect the proposed site for the Winston county high school. Superintendent Gunnells was unable to accompany the other mem bers of the board to this place. Im- mediately upon arrival the party was taken in charge by a committee of the citizens, who drove them over the town, pointing out the proposed site for the school. and showing them the evidences of progress that is being made by this place. GAS they passed the public school an ovation was accorded them by the boys and girls and they were given evidences of the material this place proposes to furnish to the high school if located here.
 Probably no community has sub mitted to the board a better proposi- tion than the one Haleyvil1e submits which aggregates $23 900. Among the features of the proposition was the giving of site, the erecting and equip ping of building, supplement to the states appropriation and the furnish ing of free scholarships and one by the ladies to beautify the grounds. One unique feature of the proposition is that if is guaranteed by the Traders and Farmers bank. and by the Mer- chants bank. showing that the people at this place have gone after the school in business way.
 In discussing this feature, one prom inent citizen expressed surprise that all propositions made the board were not guaranteed, remarking that if they were not, and the board undertook to realize out of the subscription lists ct some places they would realize more fully than ever before how severe the panic has been.
 The governor and General Brandon were entertained al luncheon and spent the night here. Today they went to Double Springs, which is the last place they will visit to hear applications this week.

Accor- ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any facilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time.
 It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and it's component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection able substances. To get it's beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading drug gists.
