 An important decision was rendered at this term of the county court by Judge R. Burke in reference to the right of the Cullman Coal and Coke company to con demn the land needed by this company for right-of-way It was shown that this company was not public carrier and was, therefore, not permitted to condemn land for it's needs. This comes as a sen- sation in view of the vast amount of money this company is spending in this county in building railroads, towns, fac tories and other investing. Col. J. B. Brown, as attorney for E. c. Kinney, whose land had been condemned. resisted condemnation proceedings with the above results.

BABY'S ITCHING
 SO0THED AT ONCE
And Soon Cured Perfectly and Eco- nomica|ly- Doctor Called It Ec- zema and Little Sufferer Rubbed and Twisted All the Time.
CUTICURA AGAIN PROVED THE GREAT SKIN CURE"

My baby boy was about nine months old when he had breaking out on his neck which was very annoy ing. It used to make him very fretful and cross because it seemed to worry him SO much. In the meantime I was sick myself. I had my doctor look at the baby and he told me it was eczema and he wanted to treat it. But friend of mine told me she knew it could be cured cheaper than any doctor could do it for and in much less time. So I started using the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment which I soon found out was what ought to have had be- fore, for the eczema seemed to itch so the baby could not keep his head still for he was rubbing and twisting all the time. I used the Cuticura Remedies about three times the first day and began to notice the good 1t was doing. for he began to get rest from rubbing his neck.
 "So used three cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Oint- nnent and now no one could tell that he ever hsd any kind of breaking out, and sinoe then have never been without tho Cuticura Soap nor the Cuticura Oint, ment.
