Epilepsy, Fits

My son was cured of very bad case of epilepsy with Dr. Miles Nervine.'
 MRS. D. BAKER, Cleveland, O. My little daughter who was afflicted with St. Vitus' Dance is now entirely well after taking Dr. Miles Nervine only four months"
 MRS. C. G. BENNETT,
 Alma, Mich. Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus' Dance and Spasms, are all nerv- ous diseases. They have been cured in so many instances with Dr. Miles Nervine that it is reasonable to conclude that it is almost sure to cure you. With nervous diseases of a severe type, persistent use has almost invariably resulted in complete cure or lasting benefits, worth many times the cost of the rem edy. The best evidence you can get of its merits is to write to those who have used it. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all according to directions, and if it does not benefit he will re- turn your money.

The Hungarian quail and the Mexi- can pheasants ordered b ythe Jasper club arrived yesterday, and are to be turned loose in the woods and fields of Walker county, just as the happy pairs flew out from Noah's ark, to multiply and replenish the earth of this favored county.
 If these little gathered immigrants multiply as rapidly as have the English sparrows brought over here 30-odd years ago in pairs, our fields and for ests of game will soon be the home of tn thousands of these valuable birds, provided the laws are strictly enforced to protect them from trappers and gum ners.
 Information reaches Jasper that the English pheasants turned out in the northern part of the county last sum mer are doing remarkably well, and seem to have become thoroughly ac- climated and accustomed to the wild woods and fields of Walker and that they remain gentle and with no dp- partent desire to leave this section.
 Speaking of the effect of the game law MT. J. J. Long informs your cor respondent that a bunch of five deer was seen roaming in the woods of his county last week and that the reap pearance of wild turkey is not infro- quent. All of which indicates that tie laws which protect game are wise and of effect.
 "The continual reference to the sug- gestion made by the newspapers that the Alabama Central railroad shall be extended from Jasper via Manchester to Decatur has caused perfect storm of inquiry and solicitation to come to us from every part of the compass remarked Albert Russell, manager of the short line and of the Manchester mills.
 These inquiries come from railroad contractors, bridge builders, steam shovel men and from general promo ters; and we are hardly ready for them. In fact the owners of the road have not planned for it's sale or its extension. However, I am willing to say that if the stuff is up there that needs to be developed and hauled, and the fact can be made plain to our com pany we will build the road.
 Tn answer to inquiries received from Decatur people I have written them to furnish us with all data as to old surveys. etc., that we may fully investigate the proposition.'
 Asked if he did not think an exten- sion of the Alabama Central was a practicable and feasible proposition, MT. Russell intimated that if he found 1t so upon thorough investigation he might have something of interest to give out.
