Entire Ceremony or Signing
 Consumed Only 49 Minutes

which most of the delegates pre-
 ferred for signature. and the steady
 procession of delegation after delega
 tion Ito the seats at the three tables
 within the enclosures upon which the
 documents were placed for signature.
 Contrary to expectations, the Ger
 mans were called upon to sign first,
 and no precedence was given M. Glenn
 enceau, President Wilsan or MT. Lloyd
 George, who in the peace treaty ap-
 peared only as members of the respec-
 tive delegations, and discard the digni-
 ties and responsibilities which during
 the negotiations ,were summed up in
 the phrase, "the Big Three"
 The two German delegates rose with
 out word at M. Clemenceaus bidding
 and placed upon the treaty the sign
 manuals which German government
 leaders declared until recently would
 never be appended to it. It was too
 distant to watch even with glasses, the
 expression on the faces of the German
 plenipotentiaries during the ceremony,
 but more fortunate observers among
 the officials say that they fulfilled their roles without apparent indications of emotion, such as marked Won Brock dorff- -Rantzau's dramatic declarations
 at the first meeting.
 When they regained their seats after signing President Wilson arose, fol- lowed by the other American plenipo- tentiaries moved around the two sides of the great horseshoe to the sigma i ture tables. President Wilson and not M. Clemenceau, thus had the honor of signing first of all the leaders of the world alliance, but the honor was due to the alphabet, not other considera- tions, as the signatures occur in the same French alphab etical order as the enumeration of the allied and asSo- ciated powers in the prologue of the treaty-the same order which de- termined the seating of the delega- tions at the pleniary sessions of inter- allied conference.
 The five great powers hereunder are 1 grouped separately, the states follow l ing again in alphabetical order. | But if the formal proceedings moved 1 with system and complete adherence | to programme, the same cannot be said | for the other arrangements, which de- | tracted most remarkably from the i'm pressiveness of the epochal event Sc many spectators had. in one manner or another. gained access to the hall that l the struggle for points of vantage al times approached the stage of brawl l and the few officials entrusted with keeping order had the greatest diff | fculty in securing even semblance o1 I order
 l Cries of Down in front!" whicf | probably never before were heard at a 1 gathering of similar importance. were addressed quite as often to the of | fcials of the conference as to the un- official spectators The stage for the ceremony was quite as crowded as the ! spectators enclosures, giving a pie ture of crush and confusion, and the i plenipotentiaries and attaches, arriv- 1 ing in attachments, formally intro duced by ushers, individually as at the | other sessions.

LIVER WAS SORE
So Decided to Try Dreco for His St o m a c h, Kidneys, Liver and Constipation, and It Did the Work,
 He Declares

'I had just about touched bottom in my sufferings, and knew a change had to take place soon, because l couldne stand much more of it," writes Mir. W. M Gambel, the we'll known foreman az Thomas Furnace, who resides between Birmingham and Pratt City. Mir. Gam bel has been with the Republic company for nine years and is highly esteemed by the officials.
 'The people who had known me for long time realized that I was a sick man. My liver was sore to press on 1t, and seemed to be swollen. My back was lame, which I knew came from my kid neys. I had headaches was nauseateds very nervous. gas filled me up and my bowels were so badly constipated that my own system poisoned itself. I've spent a lot of money and been fooled so often. while seeking relief from my sufferings. that have been slow about buying any more lately however, I had to do some thing for myself, so decided to try the Dreco, and my judgment has proved cor rect in taking the chance"
 1.-TWO bottles of Dreco have brought about a great change in me It has re- moved the soreness over my liver. and in my back got my bowels to acting regularly, with so much ease and conn fort; no more gas collects in my stom- ach; the nausea and headaches have all gone; and I'm feeling like myself again. No one can doubt why I am so willing to praise this grand medicine. which has done so much good for me"
 Dr. Tharp, the we'll known Dreco ex- pert, has headquarters at Jacobs Phar- macy to meet the local public and ex- plain the merits of this great remedy See him today. Dreco is also sold by the Fulton Drug Co. Bessemer; Halls Phar-l macy. Fairfield: Central Drug O. WI lam.-Adv.

 The hutch should be built one foot above the ground; sides and back of hutch should be boards and the front one and a half-inch wire. The door can be made either in front or back of hutch as convenient. The roof should be covered with two ply roofing paper.
 It is advisable to purchase stock breeding age to start with as you can start raising young at once. You can almost count on the young the does will produce. The first filters will pay for your outlay of expense for stock and hutch by selling young for breed- ing or for meat purposes.

Under an act passed while Col. c. C Harris represented the Eighth district in Congress, permission was given to buiid a bridge across the Tennessee between the Southern bridge and Alabama street. Several good locations for the spans are said to have been found within the area.
 Jeff Eyster, youngest son of Judge John c. Eyster, one of the states best known attorneys, narrowly escaped serious in- jury Sunday afternoon at Riverview Beach when he dived into what he thought was deep water only to find 1t shallow. Muscles in his back and neck were badly sprained. but no bones were broken.
 Local railroad yard officials are worried over the disposition of 92 bar rels of liquor which came here con- signed to New Orleans.

Large profits can be made and all the fresh meat raised for any sized family by anyone starting back yard rabbitry.
 It is surprising what the results are from such a small investment All that is needed to start in the rabbit busi- ness is a pair or trio, meaning buck and two does. which can be purchased reasonably from any reliable breeder.
 The writer of this article would sug- gest, of raising for meat purposes, the Flemish Giant or New Zeland Red, as they are both heavy meat type rab- bits.
 The hutch can be built at small cost with little discretion being used.
 For instance large dry goods box can be purchased for $1 which accom- modates two rabbits. The size of the hutch should be ?

There is only one other temple of the Knights of Khorassan in Mississippi, and as this is located at Jackson the urgent need for a temple in this section of the state has long been felt. The success of the movement is largely due to assistance rendered local Dokeys by members of the order residing at Ar tesla, IA miles west of Columbia These gentlement have entered into the un- dertaking with enthusiasm and have ac- complished splendid work.
 Citizens residing in the northwestern section of Lowndes county are prepar- ing to celebrate the nations natal day next Friday with a barbecue and pup lie speaking at Kolola Springs. large attendance is expected and candidates for state. district and county offices have been extended invitations to be present. Dr. b. M. Janieson, who is well known throughout the entire county, is chairman of the committee on arrangements and he, as well as all
 his fellow citizens, are preparing to give visitors a most cordial welcome. Not only will barbecued meats be served but housewives in the neighborhood, who are famous for their culinary achievements, will contribute cakes, pies and other comestibles and the feast will be a most elaborate one. There i will be no public Forth of July celebra- 1 tion in Columbus, and many local citi- zens will attend the barbecue at Kolola Springs.
