save your life and that is through an
operation,” was tho awful prospect set
before Mrs. I. B. Hunt, of Lime Ridge,

to cure her of a frightful case of stomach
trouble and yellow iaundice. He didn’t
count on the marvelous power of Elec
tric Bitters to cure stomach atfd liver
troubles, but she heard of it, took seven
bottles, was wholly cured, avoided sur
geon’s knife, now weighs more and
feels better than ever. It’s positively
guaranteed to cure stomach, liver and
kidney troublea and never disappoints.

THE LATEST RUMOR
ABOUT THE EAST & WEST RAIL
ROAD
Seems to Re Trim, nml a Reorgan
ization Now Is Quite I'robablo—
Mr, Etigono Zimmerman In the
Ileal.
Tile Alabama papers anil the Manu
facturers' Record, of Italtiinore, con
tained last week what seems to be
some authentlo announcements con
cerning the Bast ,fc West Railroad and
the plan of reorganization, embracing
the consolidation of severnl lines
under the corporate name of the Bir
mingham, Alabama & Georgia Rail
road Company.
A new charter for tills corporation
will be obtained under the Alabama
laws, with a capitalization of several
million dollars, and it is proposed to
absorb the East & West, the Birming
ham & Atlantia, tho Tredogar .Mineral
Road, and extend the E, & W. to Bir
mingham from l’ell City, Ala. The
plan also contemplates the early ex
tension of the eastern termlnuB to At
lanta from some point on the road east
of Cedartown, and with other com
pleted extensions and missing links,
tho new Birmingham, Alabama A
Georgia would embrnoe a valuable ag
gregation of railroads right in the
heart of the great iron regions of
Georgia and Alabama.
This new lino would either form tho
muoh-needed link botween the great
Seaboard Air Line system nnd the
Kansas City, Memphis & Birmingham
road, or would be allied with both by
a olose tralllc arrangement.
The urgency of tho woBtorn exten
sion from Boll City to Dhmingham
lias boon recognized, nnd it is said
that contracts for tho building of that
extension hnvo been made with the
Maulmttan Construction Compnny of
New York. Work on this part of
tho rond is to begin at onoe, nnd the
better equipment of all tho roads c‘
the system rapidly inaugurated.
The incorporators of this new com
pnny embrnoe several well known cap
italists,—among them being Edward,
Thomas and Eugene Kelly, E. B. Mil
ler, J. C. Beatty, C. IT. Hudson and
Eugene Zimmerman.
Mr. Hudson, who is spoken of ns
president, was formerly ohief engi
neer and goneral manager of tho
Southern Kailway. The Kellys now
own the old Enst A West rond, and are
to be among the leading exeoutjvo
officers. Mr. Zimmerman, who is
president of the Alabama A Georgia
[roil Co,, will ho ono of tho important
factors of tho reorganization, nnd
should nil his Goorgin nnd Alabama
iron properties go into the consolida
tion. it is among the probabilities that
he may bend tho new company.

“Awful anxiety was felt for the widow

fearful night. “A11 thought she must
soon die from pnenmonia, but she

saying it had more than onoe saved her
