HUNTSVILLE

Huntsville, June 29-(Special.) .)-N othing new has developed during the last two days with reference to David D. Over ton who is sought in connection with the killing of Judge w. T. Lawler. No word has been received from him, in sev- eral days and for all the officers know, the earth may have opened and swal- lowed him up. There has been no tang ible clew indicating his whereabouts or even where he has been since he dis appeared from Huntsville sometime dur ing Saturday, June IF. Every possible clew has been followed to the end, but each has turned out like the other. There are some who believe that Overton has escaped to a foreign country, but there are others and among them many of his friends, who believe that he is close to the city in some secure hiding place and will surrender to the officials when he sees fit to do so.
 Mrs. Thomas Kelly of Toney, died yes- terday at her home in the northwestern part of the county after a long illness, aged 65 years. She was widow and was a sister of MT. Sam Garner of Huntsville. One daughter survives her.
 One Of the most enthuSia stlc good roads meetings held in this section recently was held at Guntersville Wednesday aft ernoon in the interest of the Jackson highway. The Marshall county commits sioners met with the good roads boosters and promised to do anything that the boosters tell them will be necessary to secure the Jackson highway. Pledges wer egiven by them to build the roads through Marshall county according to specifications and along the route to be selected.
 Five automobiles filled with Huntsville good roads boosters, including R. E. Spragns, president of the state highway commission; Joseph J Bradley, director of the Jackson highway for this county; F. O. Aiken, manager of the Chamber of Commerce, and others, made the trip to Guntersvil'e to attend the meeting.

A few bottles of Tanlac have relieved me of my 15 years of suffering and made me. able to do all my homework and the work in my garden besides," said Mrs. s. J. Byers, in her statement regarding the benefits she has obtained from the use of this medicine a few days ago. Mrs. Byers is 73 years of age and has occupied her present home in l-ondale, Ala, for the past "A years. She is well known and highly respected in her community.

The swelling has all gone out of my feet and the rheumatic pains have left me entirely. All that nervous feeling has disappeared and my sleep and rest at night now is fine. My stomach trouble and indigestion are gone and I can eat anything I want without it hurting me and I haven't had single spell with my stomach since taking Tanlac. My daughter tells me she wouldn't take $50 a bottle for the good Tanlac has done me and I feel the same way about it myself. We will never forget to speak a good word for this great medicine gso L
