BUTLER COUNTY
 PLANS NEW JAIL

Greenville, April -(Special)-At a spe- cial meeting of the county commissioners, to be held next Tuesday, among other important matters to come before them will be the question of the erection of a new Jail.
 The county Sis badly in need of new prison, as it is said by the authorities that the old one is unsafe for the confinement of prisoners. Plans and specifications will be received at the special session of the commissioners for the erection of mod ern building, the cost to exceed $25,000 The commissioners have had the matter of new jail before them for some time and no doubt the building would have teen under construction had the place of location been agreed upon before.
 Much speculation is being indulged in on the streets of Greenville as to whether or not the good roads bonds will be sold by the commissioners.
 The commissioners were offered par for the bonds at their regular session this week. This offer was declined until next Tuesday for the purpose of allowing time for additional bids. There is a great deal of public sentiment in favor of the sale of the bond issue. so that work on the roads can be begun soon.
 The treasurer of Butler county reports the sum of $53,614 cash on hand in the county vaults This is more than three times enough to pay off all the county's outstanding obligations.

Is one of the greatest strength build CTS and tonic stimulants known to medicine. It strengthens and forti- fies the system against the attacks of disease and dangerous germs and assists in building up the weakened tissues in a gradual, healthy, natural manner When taken at meal time it stimulates the mucous surfaces and little glands of the stomach to a healthy action, thereby improving the digestion and assimilation of the food and giving to the system it's full proportion of nourishment. This ac- tion upon the digestive process is of great importance, as it brings to all the tissues and organs of the body the nutriment necessary to their sus- tenance and indirectly to the whole system strength and vigor. It makes the old feel young and keeps the young strong and vigorous.

Sherman has just received from Montgomery message from Pres ident J B Hobdy of the Seventh District  Agricultural school to the effect that the bill appropriating s10O0O for dormitory for this institution has just passed the house and now awaits the governors signature, the bill having passed the sem ate two weeks ago.
 Owing to the fact that Representative Johnston from this county is opposed to any bill passing the legislature that would benefit Albertville, Senator Brown and President Hobdy have had a hard fight on their hands, and their friends are congratulating them on their victory won today
 The census returns showing Albertvils to have a population of over 1500 people is very gratifying to the citizens here, her. population having doubled in the past 10 years, notwithstanding the fact that two-thirds of the town was wiped from the face of the map in the disas- trous cyclone three years ago. Albert vile is now decidedly the largest town in Marshall county.
