It has been thoroughly rearranged and re- fitting improvements have also been made laid, the lawn bettered and other work done to add to it's beauty.
 Work on the construction of the new s20,O00 public school building on Quintard avenue Is progressing rapidly.

 Replying to the statement recently given out in this city by Fred l.. Black mon, democratic nominee for Congress man from the Fourth Congressional dis trict, Fred Osborne of Hefin, secretary of the Fourth district republican cam paign committee, gave out the following forecast:
 The published claims of MT. Blackmon are really ridiculous. MT. Atkins will carry Cleburne, his home county, by ap- proximately 4o0 majority; Shelby by 800, and Chiffon by 450. thus giving him in these three counties majority of 1850"
 MT. Blackmon has stated frequently, however, that he has no fear and that he is confident of getting the normal demo- cratic majority, despite the fact that his opponent Is considered the strongest man the republicans have put out in the Fourth in many years.

Don't Do It By starving It Either-Let
 Substitute Do the Work
 The old adage. All work and no play makes Jack dull boy" applies just as well to the stomach. one of the most Important organs of sthe human sys- tenn, as it does to the man, himself.
 If your stomach Is worn out and re- bels against being further taxed beyond its limit, the only sensible thing you can do is to give it a rest. Employ a substitute for short time and see if 1t will not more than repay you in results. s -@ssa
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are will ling and most efficient substitute. They themselves digest every bit of food in the stomach in just the same way that the stomach itself would, were it we'll They contain all the essential elements that the gastric juice and other diges- tiNe fluids of the stomach contain and actually act just the same and do just the same work as the natural fluids would do, were the stomach well and sound They, therefore, relieve the stomach, just as one workman re- lieves another, and permit it to rest and recuperate and regain. its normal Ahea1th and strength.
 This vacation, idea was suggested by the letter of prominent lawyer in Chicago. Read what he says: '.I was engaged in the most nlomentous under taking of my life in bringing about the coalition of certain great interests that meant much to me as swell as my clients. It was not the work of days but of months, was working night and day almost, when at very critical time my stomach went clear back on me- The undue mental strain brought 1t about and hurried up what would have happened later on.
 'What I ate I had to literally force down and that was source of misery as had sour stomach much of the time My head ached, I was sluggish and began to lose my ambition to carry out my undertaking. It looked pretty gloomy for me and l confided my plight to one. of my clients. He had been cured by Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and at once went down to drug store and brought a box up to the office. s&s
 T had not taken a quarter of that box before found that they would do all the work my stomach ever did; and as rest or vacation was out of the question for me, l determined to give my stomach vacation. I kept right on taking the tablets and braced up and went ahead with my work with renewed vigor, ate Just as much as I ever did and carried out that under I have Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to fee ever received as well as my repu- tation. and last. but not least my

of Judge Browns action the city can at once begin work on paving Mad ison avenue, work having been held up, pending a decree in the case.
 Several weeks ago F. J. Cramton se- cured the injunction against the city on the ground that the council was wrong in letting contract for the pav- ing of Madison avenue, in view of the fact that the paving was ordered over the protest of the majority of the prop erty owners MT. Cramton alleged in his bill that it was unwise to pave the street because of an embankment which he said could not stand the additional weight
 The opinion of Judge Brown is, in eff feet, that municipalities are vested with large degree of authority and that they can proceed with the paving of streets at their discretion.
