On one side of the shaft or die will be inscribed the names of all soldiers be- longing to the Tenth Alabama regiment, on another those belonging to the Thir- tieth Alabama, on a third side those who went from this county but who did not belong to either the Tenth or the Thir- tieth Alabama, and the fourth side will contain some inscription relating to the John H. Forney chapter of the U. D. c. Some space will be used for the names of all soldiers who died or were killed during the war. It is the idea of the John H. Forney chapter to have the names not only of those who enlisted from Calhoun county inscribed but of any soldier who once lived in this county pre- vious to the civil war.
 The erection of this monument is due solely to the untiring efforts of a small band of women, about 12 in number, the same ladies who erected the beautiful monument here to the memory of the Gallant John Pelham" That was great undertaking and was by no means an easy talk, but nothing daunted they per- severed until the work was accomplished.
 But they did not stop here. They felt that the same honor shown to Pelham should be shared by all the soldiers of Calhoun county, and hence this monu- ment to the Confederate soldiers of Cal houn county. There are doubtless many people throughout the state whose rela- lives enlisted in the army from this coun- ty, and who would like to have their names inscribed upon this monument. The cost Of such inscription is $10. This cause should appeal to the patriotism of every son and daughter, and of every grandson and granddaughter of any sol dier who belonged to Calhoun county.
 Mrs. J. H. Privett is president of the John H. Forney chapter and Mrs. George Rowan vice president Any one wishing to have name inscribed upon this mon ument or to contribute anything to the noble work of these ladies should com municate with Mrs. PTivett or Mrs. Rowan at once, so that the inscription can be made before the unveing.

AN ITCHING PALM
so Cure for It.. Other Forms of Itching
 Preferable.

There is no cure for an itching palm the money kind. Even poslam, the new skin discovery. cannot help 1t. But when 1t comes to eczema, the most annoying of itching skin troubles, poslam will stop the itching at once and cure the worst cases in few days. So with hives rash, scabies, split toes, piles, and scaly scalp, all of which are different forms of eczema, accompanied by severe itching and caused by tm- perfect digestion and careless diet.
 Polsam comes in S2 jars, but 50c worth will answer in curing any of the diseases mentioned. It can be had of any druggist. Jacobs Pharmacy makes a speciality of 1t.
 That results are immediate will be amply demonstrated overnight by the use of the experimental sample which the Emergency Laboratories, 52 West Twenty fifth street. New York city, will send free by mail, in plain wrapper, to any one who will write for it.

Railroad Cases Monday.

The railroad cases will be before Judge Thomas c. Jones of the federal court again on Monday, at which time he will settle the matters to be referred to the master and act on pleadings with regard to the supplemental bills. The question of when the excess charges of freight and passenger traffic begin to be collectable will also come up, as will a number of other details of importance.
