SPEAKS FOR ITSELF Experience of Southern Man.

 T formerly drank so much coffee dur ing the day that my nervous system was almost a wreck. My physician told me to quit drinking it. but l had to have some- thing to drink, so I tried Postum.
 ''ro my great surprise l saw quite . change in my nerves in about 10 days. That was a year ago. and now my nerves are steady and l don't have those bilious sick headaches which l regularly had while drinking coffee.
 'Postum seems to have body building properties and leaves the head clear. And I do not have the bad taste in my mouth when 1 get up mornings. When Postum is boiled good and strong it is far better in taste than coffee. My advice to coffee drinkers IS to try Postum and be con- vinced.' There's a Reason"

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Biiou.

The play at the Bijou theatre this week is meeting with the cordial approval of the patrons of that popular house. The Baldwin Melville company is acquitting itself in capital style in the presentation of Lost 24 Hours" a modern comedy with its scene laid in New York. The play deals with the adventures which befall Richard Swift as a result of having lost 24 hours out of his calculations while sleeping off the effects of a nights de- bauch. Smith is unexpectedly surprise ed by his. wife embracing another woman whom he introduces to his wife as his sister. The complications follow in rapid fire order, and there is no cessation of the fun until the third act, when matters are smoothed over and conventionally happy end is reached. The play is bright and witty, and is unusually well staged The setting of the first act, showing a Japanese interior effect, is one of the prettiest put on at the Bijou theatre m a long time. There will be a matinee this afternoon and a performance to- night.

REUNION OF THE

Colonel Herbert Makes Interesting Talk and Asks for Assistance in
 Preparing History.

Pursuant to call. quite a large number of the survivors of Wilcox's old brigade met at thS Courthouse at 4:30 D. m. yes- terday Col. Hillary A. Herbert, colonel of the Eighth Alabama regiment, was called to the chair and L. W. Grant, ad- jutant of the Tenth Alabama regiment, was made secretary.
 Colonel Herbert discussed a proposed history of the brigade now being pre- pared and asked all members of the bri- sade to furnish him any facts valuable for such purpose. His address is Wash ington, D. c. He also gave a brief de- scription of the battle of Salem church and recounted the fact that the Third New Jersey Federal regiment had placed upon the monument they have erected there a noble acknowledgement of the gallantry of the Confederates who op- posed it in that battle. He also dis cussed the proposition to erect monu- ment to the Confederate dead at Arling- ton. After Colonel Herbert's talk there was a very general exchange of exper. fences.
