met with well.earned success all over the
country. Her views are the best that
can be secured in Europe, and delight,
while they do not tire. Many f1attering
comments regarding her talks and pict-

which is the following:
The Famous Dowse Course in Cam
bridge is fifty years old this winter. In
the list OF lecturers are the names of Ed
ward Everett, Henry Ward Beecher.
Charles Sumner, Wendell Phillips, Ralph
Waldo Emerson, Louis Agassiz, Horace
Greeley and Oliver Wendell Holmes.

To the Voters of Addison County:
l hereby publicly announce my ambi-
ton to receive the Republican nomina-
tion for States Attorney of this county
at the coming County Convention. If
nominated, l will serve the State to the
best of my ability, realizing fully that in

shall certainly appreciate the efforts of
my friends in this behalf.
Respectfully yours,

Cough ghius.

There's nothing 30 bad for a Cough
as Coughing" Coughing is like scratch
ing wonnd; so long as it is done, it
will not heal. When tempted to Cough,
draw long breath through the nostrils;
hold it until it warns the air cells. The
nitrogen thus refined. allays the desire
to cough and gives the throat aud lungs
chance to heal. The use of Seventy
seven" will aid nature in her efforts to
recuperate.

A Mrs. Langley Secures Judgment
 Agmama1 Mrs. Rosey.
 Birnaingham, Feb. .--(Special b. As the result of trouble over chicken. a jury in the Circuit Court has said that Mrs. Hessie Posey must pay S3le.e7 to Mrs. s. L. Langley for hay ing her arrested.
 Court Tuesday and the jury was out all night, returning it's verdict to Judge A. A. Coleman early Wednes- day morning. From all accounts It was a ccmpronlise verdict. The original amount sued for was si,9Se.9e.
 The trouble occurred in August of last year at North Birmingham, the home of both of the princIpRls. It seems that chicken belonging to the LangIey's wandered off down the road and was seen by the head of the house hoId. w8c told his son. Willie. where it was. When Willie went after the chicken it ran into the yard of Mrs. Posey, and the little boy said she said 1t belonged to her. With tears In his eyes he ran home and told his mother. who stepped down the road few doors to see about if,
 According to Mrs. Langley's state- ment she was in the best of humor, and Mrs. Posey. who is the daughter of Justice Ira Dement,, handed the fowl over without a word. Mrs, Posey claimed that violence was used in get- ting the chicken and she swore out a warrant before her father. who fined Mrs. Langley $5.
 The case was appealed to the Crim- inaI Court. and Justice Dement is said to have asked Judge Greehe to mol prosse it. Judge Greene entered such an order and then Mrs. Langley insti- tuted suit for alleged malicious arrest and obtained Judgmett.
