"In 1903 we wrote you regard ing my husband, who was suf-- fering from heart trouble. He was superanuated by the North Georgian Conference. Ten doc tors at different times said he would die. You advised Dr. Miles Heart Remedy and Re- storative Nervine we did as advised, and improvement was apparent from the very first. He recovered and the Conference in Ioo4 gave him a charge. He never felt better, although he has very heavy work and does a great deal of camp meeting work. I am so glad we took your advice and gave him the medicine, and feel that l ought to let you know of the wonder ful good results from its use"
 MRS. T. s. EDWARDS,

 This proves what Dr. Miles Heart Remedy will do. Get a bottle from your druggist and take it according to directions. It does not matter whether your heart is merely weak, or you have organic trouble, if it does not benefit you take the empty bottle to your druggist and get your money back.

There is much complaint this season of the ravages of sheep killing dogs in some parts of the county where the people are interested in the sheep raising industry. Numbers have re- gently been destroyed; and here is a loud cry for more stringent dog laws It looks now like the man who next offers for office In Walker must be an anti-dog man of the strictest sort. In addition to this trouble with the dogs frequent howls from wolves are re- ported and movements are on foot to exterminate these beasts once again.

The law and equity court is still in session and is liable to continue for several weeks, for 1t is to dispose of several murder cases, among tn em probably the case of Henry Walker the negro who six years ago was ar rested at Cordova. charged with a ter rible assault upon and murder of a white woman. For this offense it will be remembered Walker has been tried number of times and more than once sentenced to be hanged. On his last trial the jury failed to agree. The ne- gro has occupied a cell in the Walker county jail over six years.
 In this court Sam Brooks, the we'll known white citizen of this county who was on trial last week for the killing of his own son, Tom Brooks, by stab ping him. was acquitted within 20 minutes after the jury was given the case.

JASPER ENTERS
 BUILDING ERA Contracts Let for Two Large
 Structures SECRETARY OF HEALTH New Cabinet Position Proposed by Candidate Davis of Jasper. Walker Case May Again
 Be Tried.
By FRANK V. EVANS.

Jasper. April 2s.L(Special.)- .)-With the opening of the spring and summer months Jasper Is entering a building season. Contracts have Just been let for two very large and costly build lngs' One of these is brick business house to be erected by T. L. Long. one of the most prominent merchants in the county, who already controls and owns five or six stores in Walker. Mir Long is now to build a house of two stories, covering 265x120 feet, in the very center of the city.
 Perrin P Hunter, capitalist, and largely interested in Jasper, is build ing dwelling which promises to be one of the handsomest homes in the state. This house is to be bungalow style, one and a half stories, with basement and high roof. It is to be built of pressed buff brick, with stone finish, art glass and tile flooring; will contain a basement, laundry, steam heating and electric lighting arrange ments The site is a beautiful one. It is on hill near the main entrance to Hunter park, overlooking the city and beautiful woodland view. Already the grounds are plotted and planted in fruit and shade trees.
 Besides these buildings a number of cottages are in course of erection, and things in general promise we'll for aJs- per. W. B. Dozier, representing a building and investing company in Georgia, Is now In Jasper on a pros- pecting trip. He comes to look over the field with view of opening an office here, and tells your correspond ent that he Is very favorably impressed by what he has seen here. His com panys principal business is to buy and
 build homes for the people.
 The coming of Captain Hobson into the Sixth district with his retinue of government farm experts so soon after hls speech on the Brownsville bill and the Immediate dash into the arena of two candidates in opposition, have made the congressional contest the most generally discussed subject in these parts MT. Davis, the Jasper can d1date, has gone so far, even thus early, to announce some of the blanks or the platform upon which he will make the race. One of these blanks is rather unique or something quite new. He proposes the addition of another member of the Presidents cabinet who shall be designated Secretary of Health, and whose department shall | make war upon diseases, especially the White plague. MT. Davis points out that 1t is the duty of Congress to pro- tect the lives and health of the people at home; a more important proposition. he thinks, than any possible danger in foreign warfare.
