EMIGRATING SOUTH.
One Hundred and Fifty People From the North

don Colony Coming.
Louisville and Nashville passengcr
traln No. 3, due here at 3:12 p. m., was
run In two sections yesterday afternoon,
the second section having aboard about
150 people from the northwest, who were
en route to new homes In the south. The
greater portion of them were going to
Abbeville, (la., to locate on the tract of
land purchased last spring for a Grand
Army of the Republic colony, and the
others were going to different points
along the Louisville and Nashville road
south of here. They came from the
northwest and were mostly Grand Army
of the Republic men.
Hungarians to Alabama.
Yesterday morning's Louisville and
Nashville train carried twelve Hunga
rians, who were going to Castleberry,
a small station on the Louisville and
Nashville road near Evergreen, where
they will locate to engage in farming and
fruit growing. They came from the
northwest, and arrived In Birmingham
late Tuesday night on the Kansas City,
Memphis and Birmingham train.
A London Colony.
That the desire to come south and en
joy the glorious climate of this semi
tropic country Is not confined to the
northwest alone is evidenced by a re
quest from London, England, received by
Capt. P. Sid Jones, land and immigration
agent of the Louisville and Nashville,
yesterday.
Captain Jones yesterday received a
letter from a party in London, England,
inquiring about land in Alabama and
risking if he could secure a tract of 100,
000 acres upon which to locate a colony
of Europeans. The letter stated that If
such a tract could be secured It would
soon be occupied by thrifty Europeans
who were anxious to come to America.
Captain Jones went to work immedi
ately after the receipt of the letter tn
quest of such property and he lias high
hopes of effecting the deal.
Florida Land Sold.
A body of 140.000 acres of land In west
Florida has been sold to a northwestern
company, upon which it is proposed to
locate a colony of Grand Army of the
Republic people. The deal was made by
Col. W. D. Chtpley of Pensacola, who,
represents the land interests of the Lou
isville and Nashville in Florida.
Others Coming.
Capt. P. Pld Jones went to Nashville
Inst night to see some people from the
northwest and, Influence them to come
to Alabama. They are in the south pros
pecting.
The tide of Immigration has turned to
the south and before the winter is past
many thousand sturdy and industrious
people from the northwest will have re
moved to the sunny southland and es
tablished themselves In comfortable
homes here.

THE UNITED STATES FLAGS.
That act, on the part of the citizens
of Birmingham, of placing United Slates
flags over the public school buildings is
truly worthy of emulation, and should
he followed by every city In the state.
Think of the numbers and numbers of
people of Alabama, who are true and
loyal lo the ensign of the government,
who have never seen a United States
regulation flag! Every public building—
court houses, city hails, public schools
and the like—should stand in the shadow
of a regulation flag. It is hut befitting
that the citizens who honor the flag
should be fully acquainted with what It
looks like. It. ought to he placed where
It can be seen almost dally by every citi
zen.—Union Springs Herald.
Dr. PIERCE’S
Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures Ninety-eight per cent, of all
cases of Consumption, In all its
Earlier Stages.
Although by many believed to be incura
ble, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption is a curable
disease. Not every case, but a large per
ientage of eases, and we believe, fully 9,?
per cent, are cured by Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ
ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported tons as cured by “Golden Med
ical Discovery ’’ were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease ? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have uo interest whatever in mis
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of “Golden Medical Discovery,"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy “emulsions” and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases ami had either utterly failed to bene
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the bypophos
phites had also been faithfully tried 111 vain.
The photographs of a large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 160
pages which will be mailed to you, on re
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.

THE BEST OF ALL
In All Things All The Time
THERE are many GOOD life insurance companies, but among
them all there must be one BEST. THE BEST is THE
EQUITABLE. If you wish to know why, send for: i, the
report of the Superintendent of Insurance for the State of New
York on the examination of The Equitable; 2, for actual results
of maturing policies ; 3, for statement of death claims paid in
1894. Then you will know the three great reasons of The
Equitable’s supremacy: First, its financial stability; second,
its great profits and advantages to living policy-holders; third,
the promptness of its payments and liberality of its settlements.
