BABY GIRL CRIED
 AND SCRATCHED
All the Time-Torturing Eczema
 Covered Her Body-CouId Not Sleep-Doctor Said Sores Would
 Last for Years-Skin Now Clear.
CURED IN THREE MONTHS
 BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

"I take great pleasure in telling you what a great help it was for me to use Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for my baby niece. She was suffering from that terrible torture, eczema. It was all over her body but the worst was on her face and hands. Her hands were so bad that she could not hold anything. She cried and scratched all the time and could not sleep night or day from the scratching. 1 had her under the doc tors care for 8 year and a half and he seemed to do her no good. l took her to the best doctor in the city and he said that she would have the sores until she was six years old. But if I had de- pended on the doctor my baby would have lost her mind and died from the want of aid.
 "I used all the remedies that every body told me about and tortured the child almost to death. Then I saw in the paper how Cuticura was the thing for irritating skin. I bathed her with warm water and Cuticura Soap and used the Cuticura Ointment. She was cured in three months. Now her skin is as clear and smooth as it could be. I shall recommend the use of Cuticura wherever I see the skin in bad condition. Alice l.. Dowell, 4769 Easton Ave-, St. Louis, Mo-, May 2 and 20, 1907."

 'The flower parade will stand as one of the notable incidents in the history of our Confederate reunions.
 Its management was superb I doubt that such a display of beautiful women was ever before made in the south or anywhere else.
 ''The final parade was simply inspiring. Thousands of the old grizzed veterans who had followed the banner of the south on many bloody battlefelds followed ther old tattered colors midst the inspiring strains of Dixie from 20 splendid bands and the wild cheering of thousands of people who crowded the sidewalks and the streets along sthe line of march. A more brilliant, patriotic and inspiring scene could not have been witnessed.
 T could say great many other things but suffice it to say if there was a jar or a friction or a disagreement in the management of this stupendous undertak- ing by Birmingham, 1 heard nothing of it. ''The newspapers handled the features of the reunion in a splendid manner and no details of public interest were allowed to go unnoticed."

 News of Bessemer.

Bessemer, June 12-(Special. .)-The New County club held an interesting meet ing at the Rebie hall this evening" A large crowd was on hand and every man there gave it as his opinion that now was the time for the work to be done A great many of those present were very much disappointed because several of the speakers that were to have been on hand did not show up.
 George Pegram of FaundsyiIle had been invited to make talk, but a telegram was received from him late this after noon, stating that it would be impossible for him to be present.
 good deal of routine business was transacted and it was learned from the report of the secretary that the funds are growing daily, and if the people who have subscribed continue to pay up in the future, as they have done in the past, it will mean that quite a large sum will be realized for carrying the work along.
 A motion was made and carried that committee be appointed to get the names of residents of Bessemer who intended going to their home counties within the near future. The following gentlemen were appointed to look after this part of the work: E. A. Little, Walter L. Rush and W. s. Welch. The object of this is to have the men who are going to their homes take the matter up with the home people, and see how they stand on the proposition of a new county. Several men stated they intended going into their home counties within the next few weeks. This will mean that about 15 counties will be represented, and it is believed a great deal of good can be accomplished Secretary Gilbert announced that the campaign literature was all ready, and it would be given out to any one who was desirous of sending it to friends in the different counties.
 The work is now being pushed as hard as possible, and the prospects appear to be very bright for a new county.

Cut the Weeds.

The time has arrived when the weeds around the beautiful hamlet of Bessemer will have to be moved or the town will be more than apt to go to seed Mayor Rush issued orders some time ago that the weeds would have to be cut, but it ap- pears that some people did not think enough of their places to even try it. The weed business is getting to be serious and unless the people will try to do their part the summer will wane and the mos quitoes will thrive.
 1t IS hoped that every one in the city VIII see to it that the grass and weeds are removed as early as possible because every day they are allowed to remain means just little more sickness.
