This bank has been in operation here for IT years, and has for that time been owned by J. B. Wads- worth of Birmingham. MT Wadsworth has conducted 1t in such a manner as to merit and receive the confidence of all the people, and the bank has grown from a very small beginning to one of the strong est banks of it's size In this part of the state.

Nervous Dyspepsia
 And Neurasthenia
Weakness of the Nervous System of- ten Dependent Upon Long Con
 tinued Indiuestlon.

Neurasthenia, also known as nervous exhaustion" nervous debility" and nervous prostration," is disease, which in these modern, strenuous times Is becoming more and more prevalent. It is a condition in which there Is more or less marked and persistent loss of enegry, together with considerable irrita- bility.
 Persons who suffer from this trouble are easily excited and irritated; cannot do as much work as formerly, and in attempting any mental effort, quickly be- come confused, and are unable to con centrate the attention. They also com plain of insomnia, nervous indigestion, depression of spirits, and palpitaton of the heart.
 There is a general muscular weakness; the person cannot walk very far, and tires quickly on attempting physical ex- ertion There Is ringing in the ears; blurring of eyesight; headache and ver- tigo; specks floating before the eyes, and a general restlessness The ability to sustain prolonged intellectual effort is in- terfered with, and the patient fmagines he is losing his memory.
 Neurasthenics continually watch for new symptoms, unconsciously exagger- ate the old ones, attaching undue i'm portance to them. Causeless fear is often suffered from; dread of some impending danger; extreme pessimism; dark fore- bookings, and hysteria. Sleep is not re- freshing and the person feels much more tired in the morning than at night. Hor- rible dreams and nightmare are usually complained of.
 But by far the most prominent mani festation of Neurasthenia Is Nervous Dyspepsia. In nearly every case this disturbance of the stomach dominates the complaint. Cause and effect may t><< &x~.xx axx1 1xvc,@ 4net. l.. the result of Neurasthenia, but oftener, Indigestion Is the original cause of the nervous condition. The nerves are simply "starved'' because the stomach does not digest the food properly. and as the nerves are dependent upon the food which the blood ahsorbs from the stomach for their sustenance, any de- privaton thereof Is sure to cause nerve weakness
 The use of nerve tonics'' in this con- dition is a mistake; they merely stimu- late but do not rebuild nerW tissue Completely cisested food is the only true nerve builder and strengthener; and In the treatment of nervous ex- asustion, one should first cure the nervous dyspepsia, which is usually the origin of the trouble, by taking STUARTS DYSPEPSIA TABLETS in doses of one or two after each meal. or whenever needed, and the long train of nervous symptoms will be cured along with the nervous dyspepsia.
 This celebrated remedy is without a peer in the treatment of nervous indi- gestion and in fact, indigestion of any kind. They digest all the food with great thoroughness. and facilitate It's absorption by the blood which carries it to the weakened. diseased nerves and builds them up, so that every symptom of Nervous Exhaustion Is gotten rid of

FARMERS PROSPER
 IN LAUDERDALE

Florence October s.-(Special. )-In the ty, in section about 15 miles square, comprising Lexington and Mitchell beats and the northern part of Rogersville beat, there lies a territory which in the past five years has outstripped any other purely agricultural section in the south. In that period hundreds of sub stantial farmers have immigrated there and substantial homes, surrounded by fields of cotton and corn, have replaced woodlands, which formerly responded only to the hammering of the wood becker and the hooting of the owl. Like Jackson county and Cullrnan, the negro has been excluded from the Mitchell beat, and one is rarely seen in Lexing- ton beat The farmers, with the assist ance of their sons, cultivate their own land with the result that values have increased and the improvements made have been solid and substantial. In the past five years the price of land has more than doubled. In ten years it has quadrupled, and land that 20 years ago brought $1 an acre now sells for $2O and $25.
 Church and educational advantages have kept pace with the material devel- opment and in a number of school dis- tricts the people have taken advantage of the state law providing $200 for new school buildings, conditioned upon the raising of $200 by the community. In fact Lauderdale is one of only two counties in the state which have called for the entire allotment of 5000 annually for new school houses and in many cases the required $200 has been more than doubled.

BUFFALO BILL AND
 PAWNEE BILL ARE
 COMING THIS WEEK

Col Cody, Buffalo Bill" has spent nine years since last here in touring the continents of America and Europe with success. When one is an accepted prophet in his own country, and when the na- tions beyond the seas find instruction and delight in the same exhibition, there must be something exceptionally merito- rious in it's composition and it's features. This Is explained by the fact that the exhibition of life in the old now past Far West is real, actual and true. Real ism here found It's highest type in re- flection through the simple and faithful methods that Col. Cody conceived and executed-genuineness of people-no tinsel mo clap-trap.
 While bringing this year his Wild West with several new members he has added a fresh interest by forming what Is really an epitome of the races of the world.
 Thousands have seen the Wild West and the Great Far East separately, but now one can renew acquaintance with those wonderful exhibitions of the human race from throughout the universe to- gether. Col W. F. Cody and Maj Cor don Lillie have combined their forces in order to give the untraveled compre- hensive understanding and knowledge of the many aspects of the human race as it exists in the east, west south and north for they have collected a great assemblaae of types from all quarters.
 Indian piebald ponies, bueking bronchos, cayuses of the plains, camels, muslcally educated elephants and other animals, including wild buffaloes, are shown In the arena while the feats of the horse- men and the footmen are of the marvel ous character.
 For diversity and kaleidoscopic variety in color and in costume for complexity and contrast in human characteristics the combined Wild West and Far East stands without a peer or competitor be- cause it is unique and unapproachable, Without the tinsel and glare of the arti- ficial. this exhibition gives an entertain ment possessing value and instructive quality through It's simplicity and reality. There is no attempt to initiate or de- ceive. for every man, woman and child that marches or ride into the arena is a genuine specimen of their race or class.
 Every day at Il o'clock and at 6:45 n m a free exhibition will be given to the- general public by F'renzeo the Mo- hammed Dervsh. who dives through the air from high mast to an inclined plat form without any mechanical device or apparatus whatever Two performances will be given in Birmingham. Wednesday. October f3 at 2 and s D. m, rain or shine. Camp at Smith park. Reserved seats at Crystal Palace drug store. There will be NO street parade. sss

Nearly One Thousand People Fill the Courthouse to Overflowing-Per- manent Organization and Com
 mittees Are Formed.

Centreville, October 9.-(Special. .)-Per- haps the largest mass meeting of citizens ever held in Bibb county assembled at Centreville today. The occasion of this enthusiastic gathering was a meeting of those opposed to the adoption of the proz posed constitutional amendment. At 10 o'clock the people gathered in the court house, which was taxed. to its capacity to hold the crowd. Every available seat was occupied and then men stood In the doors and at the windows eager to hear the discussion of the subject.
 The crowd was variously estimated at anywhere from TOO to 1000 Among the number were about 50 ladies.

 The first speech was made by Senator Frank S. Moody of Tuscaloosa, who in a clear, logical and impressive manner pre- sented the reasons why the amendment should not be incorporated into the or ganic law of the state.
 Tom Long of Walker county in his own ipimitable way captivated the audience from the beginning. His highly humor- ous allusions to B. B. Conner and Sam mic" Weakley kept the audience in a roar of laughter throughout his address. Interspersed with his extremely enjoyable pleasantries was a strong, earnest and passionate plea for the preservation of personal liberties.
 At the conclusion of MT. Long's address he requested all opposed to the amend ment to rise. Instantly the entire audi ence, with the exception of possibly ten, rose cheering to their feet.
 Permanent county organization was per- fected with J. G. Oakley as chairman. The following central campaign commit tee was appointed: John P. Kennedy, L. H. Nunnelee, John s. Gardner, w. W. Lavender and A. Fair.
 - A county campaign committee was ap- pointed consisting of one man from each beat as follows: Dr. c. P. Martin, Reuben Lewis, Dr. c. F. Krout, J. P. Lewis, R. J. Jones, Grover Cleveland, P A. Wood, w. H. Logan, pr. George w. Randall, J. H. Strickland and J. D. Barron.
