"I Suffered Years With My Back"

Backache resulting from weak kidneys, bad cold or other cause, usually renders the sufferer unfit for work and often results in per- manent disability.
 'I suffered for years with my back, or kidney trouble, and have tried a number of remedies from different physicians. More than a year ago, one of our local druggists induced me to try
 Dr.. Miles, Anti-Pain Pills and after using them some three months 1 found decided improve ment in my kidneys, and l am glad to say that 1 hope soon to be fully restored to health." J. P. ALLEN, Ex-Judge City Court, Glasgow, Ky.
 As long as pain is present in any part of the body rest is impossible and the system becoming weakened is exposed to any form of disease to which the sufferer may be inclined.
 Dr. Niles Anti-Pain Pills by steadying the irritated nerve centers, make refreshing sleep pos sible, thereby enabling the body to recover lost strength. As aremedy for pain of any description Dr. Miles Anti-P Pain Pills are unsur- passed.

Interest in Legislature

Cullman Is calling upon the law making body at Montgomery for much local leg islation. The probable outcome of the bills are the subject of much discussion on the streets and business houses of the town just now. It Is claimed that it would be an mpossibility to enforce the law property with regard to the sale of whisky in the beer saloons, and for that reason the dspensary would be ineffec- tive and the revenue derived therefrom would be greatly decreased from the fact that those who engage in the legal sale of beer alone would violate the law and sell whisky in spite of all that could be done.
 J. R.. Rosson, editor of the Cullman Democrat, who is prominent in politics, said:
 T say either maintain the present. Ia WIS or pass local option law and give the people affected a chance to say whether or not the liquor business shall be car ried on in their community. I am against any bill that will re-establish the sale of whisky by legislation and deprives a people of their sovereign rights to say whether it shall be done or not
 There are a number of men in Cullman who speak the same sentiment as that of editor Rosson concerning the adver- tised bills for this county.

The early edition of the paper is conceded to be equal if not better than if it were a local paper published here in Cullman, and enables the readers to have glance over the affairs of the Magic City, the state capital the national capi- tai, and, in fact, to get the news from almosht every nook and corner of the universe even before breakfast That The Age-Herald is the most popular and widely circulated daily paper read by the Cullman people goes without saying, and the recent change to publish edition that will reach the people In the early morning has served to make the paper all the more popular.

 So far as can be learned Dr. Williams and his wife have never lived together. Coroner Laughlin impanelled a coroner's jury and afler hearing the evidence, re- turned a verdict that the woman came to her death by shielding with acid
