COUNTY SCHOOL
 GOES TO HEFLIN

Hehin, January s.-(special)-The state board of education has located the county high school at Hefiin, and requires an $So0o brick building erected for the purpose. The people are en- unused at the prospect of getting this school. It will be of incalculable ben eft, not only to the people of the town, but the entire county, as well. The building is to be completed by October l of this year. It has not yet been decided whether the building will be erected by popular subscription or whether the town will issue bonds for the purpose. The bond proposition seems to have the greatest number Of advocates. But whether it is built by the one or the other of these plans. 1t will certainly be built, as the people are a unit for the school The state board also provided for beginning the school at once, requiring a s5oO0 bond to secure the state against loss in the event of failure to comply with the terms of locating the school here. About three-fourths of the voters of the town signed this bond The board or trustees of Ross Collegiate institute has set aside two rooms of the college building for the accommodation of the high school and both schools will open next Monday. The primary school will only charge s1 for each pupil for the spring term, making both schools prac- tically free schools. The location, climate and the unanimity of our peo- ple all bespeak an awakening to and progress in the educational interests of the children.

To Pay of Bonds.

Decatur, January Especial. )-City Clerk D. B. Morrow has been auth or- ized by the city council to pay off and retire $25,o00 of the public school bonds. This is the last block of the first half of the school bonds that has been retired. The first half was re- tired about a year ago. This is con- sfdered most creditable showing for the city when it Is taken into consid- eration the loss of revenues on saloons for the past year on account of prohi- bition and the general hard times which have prevailed during the past year. Clerk Marrow has also been au- thorized by the city council to pay s14,050 interest on the refunding bonds of the city. These arc new bonds issued to take the place of bonds which were issued some 26 years ago.

Laughter, Digestion
 And Health

An eminent Russian physician has stat ed his opinion that laughter is one of the best means known to science for the cor rection of Dyspepsia, stomach and nerv- ous diseases.
 f Laughter, however, in a dyspeptic is like the memory of running brooks and shady glens to ths famishing and dying man lost in the desert.
 If one could but know all the causes, reasons and origins of Dyspepsia, one would not wonder at a helf-heartedness of a dyspeptic's gayety.
 There is a ceaseless call for appetite, food and enjoyment to a dyspeptic, coupled with morose. moody belief and knowledge that such a call Is mockery and if indulged in will bring discomfort pain and regret.
 Perhaps if 1t were understood that the digestive system, including mouth, throat and alimentary canal, embracing as 1t does the stomach. is composed of mem braneous tissue filled with millions of small nerves, which control added mil lions of little mouths or suckers. Per haps if this were known men could more comprehensibly understand that to disar- range such @ system would mean indeed intense physical pain.
 f Now suppose that this alimentary ca nal is a mass of worn-out, debilitated nerves and mouths, each suffering excru- ciating physical pain and discomfort, and suppose such a canal filled with the fumes and foul odors and decayed food from the last meal, and one has a slight Idea as to the lack of laughter in a dyspeptic.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed of the highes. digestive ingredients-one grain of a single ingredient being capable of digesting 5000 grains of food--relieves the alimentary canal of its onerous duties assists 1t along it's entire length (30 feet) to perform its routine. imparts strength and buoyancy to the stomach and gives back to the blood a strong, healthy nour- ishment.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are natural adjuncts to digestion. They do not false- iy stimulate an already weakened ma chine, but build up where building is needed and remove where removal is necessary.
 stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have nothing to conceal. Here is what they are made of: Hydrastis, golden seal, lactose and aseptic pepsin. Forty thousand physi- clans in America and Canada use and prescrfbe them. They should be used af- ter every hearty meal whether one is a dyspeptio or not.

coming to Alabama. He was veteran of the Creek Indian war and served faith fully throughout the struggle on the frontier campaign. He could recall much of the Indian war, and frequently told of the campaigns through Florida in pur- suit of the Indians who had been proving upon the homes of the white settlers of Georgia and Alabama
 Although well advanced in years when the war between the north and the south broke out he again shouldered his gun and marched to the front in defense of his beloved state of Georgia.
 Soon after the war MT. Stroud came to Gadsden, and this has been his home ever since. He was a kind Christian gentleman and always discharged the duties of a good citizen with willing ness which commended him to all. He never missed casting his ballot in an election and voted for Bryan in the cleo ton last fall.
 Mrs. Stroud, who survives her husband, is S6 years of age. They had been mar ried 71 years.

FIONA
 Cures Dyspepsia.
T RELIEVES STOMACH MISERY
 ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.

If the food you ate at your last meal did not digest, but laid for a long time like lead on your stomach, then you have Indigestion in one of it's stages, and quick action should be taken.
 Of course there are many other symp- toms of indigestion, such as belching up of sour food, heartburp, dizziness, short ness of breath and foul breath, and if you have any of them your stomach is out of order and should be corrected.
 Mi-o-na tablets have cured thousands of cases of indigestion and stomach trouble If you have any stomach dis tress, Mi-o-na will relieve instantly
 But Mi-o-na, unlike most so-called dys- pepsia remedies, does more than relieve; 1t permanently cures dyspepsia or any stomach trouble by putting energy and strength into the walls of the stomach, where the gastric juices are produced.
 A large tin box of Mi-o-na tablets costs but 50 cents at F. B. Nortons and are guaranteed to cure or money back. When others fail Mi-o-na cures. Read these two voluntary statements:
 Stomach complaint has given me all sorts of suffering for years past and I have doctored several times to cure it.. There has nothing ever given me the needed relief and cure until I used Mi o-na. This remedy stopped the pains in my stomach and bowels, the fainting sen sations and weak, depressed feelings. Mrs. D. H. Nye, IFS Sherman ave, Grand Rap ids, Mich, October 21, 190S."
 "I have used Mi-o-no for stomach trouble and indigestion. The use of Mi- o-na cured me of constipation, inability to digest my food, hard. dull pains Tn my side and through me. There are no words strong enough to express my good opin- ion of Mi-o-na." E. Bromley, Court St., Otsego, Mich, Oct. 8, 1908.

Sacred Thinqs? Well

There is story worth repeating
The former head OF large private
school in Detroit was a gentleman of
dignified bearing. refined and correct
always in manner and speech. BY
birth and early raising he was Yer
monter, and doubtless of straight Pu
ritan extraction.
One day in his boyhood his mother
called him in from the yard. where he
was playing with other boys. to say to
him in tone of mingled sadness and
severity:
Charles, my son, l never thought
to hear you use a swear world"
Why, mother" said the boy, Il
didn't use any swear word. only
said the devil Nobody thinks that's
swearing"
II don't care.' replied the mother,
quickly. Its making light of sacred
things, and you must not do so again :"
