RECORDERS COURT Came Near Being a White Mau’s Affair. A YOUTH WAS DRUNK. And Fell Into Th* Hands of Philistine Juveniles. With the exception of Frank Ellis, of darktown, who was convicted of being drunk and disorderly and who was fined $lO, th s morning’s recorder’s court was a white man’s affair. 1 Tha first sinner called to judg ment gave his name as Charley Jewett. He entered a plea of guilty to a charge of drunk, and begged manfully to be given an opportunity to skip. He was fined $3. Then came James Williams, a boy of about 1G who said hi* home was imar Anniston. Jim said he had been to Lindale to get work, and failing, came into the city with some other boys of about his own age. Last night these boys induced him to go over into the Fourth ward and promised him a bed, free of charge. They insisted upon him tak ing a drink and though he told them he never drank they were kind and persistent, until he yielded, that one little drink made him as drunk as a biled owl and this morning when he woke up in the police station and made inquiries he found his companions had rifled his pockets of the last 50 cents he had, and had taken his watch. Officer Sharp, who found Ji::, and locked him up, says he saw the other boys when they h-.i their victim. Young Williams’ story was told in a straight forward way, save now and then when his voice choked. Recorded Eubanks lectured the youth and let hiee go. Will Long and Andy Dawson, two young white men, for plain drunks were fined $t each, and a young farmer was $3.50 for the same offense. C u r t a i n. WHAT JOYFUL FEELINg.

GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY The Result of Imperfect Digestion of Food. Every living thnig, plant or ani mal, contains within itself the germs of certain decay ai d death. In the human b< dy these germs of disease and d«ath (called by scientists Ptomaines), are usually the result of imperfect digestion or dyspepsia . The stomach, from abuse, weak ness, do?s not promptly and thor oughly digest the so d. The result is a heavy, sodden mass which fer ments (the first process of decay) poisoning the blood, making it thin, weak and lacking in red cor puscles, poisoning the braiu caus ing headaches and pain in the eyes. Bad digestion irritates the bear!, causing palpitation and finally bringing on disease of this very importtint organ. Poor digestion poisons the kid neys, causing Bright’s disease a.id diabetes. And this is so because every or gan, every nerve depends upon the stomach alone for nourishment and renewal, and weak digestion show itself not only in loss of ap petite and flesh, hut in weak nerves and muddy complexion The great English scientist, Huxley, said the best start in life is a sound stomach Weak stom achs fai l to digest food properly, because they lack the proper qua’ - tity of digestive acids (lactic and hydrochloric) end p plog-nic pro ducts, the most sensible remedy in all cases of indigestion, is to take after each meal, one or two of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab'ets, be cause they supply in a pleasant, harmless form all the elements that weak stomach lack , The regular use ot Stuart’s Dys pepsia Tablets will cure every form of stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach. They increase fl sb, insure pure blood, ste’uDg t erves, a bright eye and clear complexion, because all these result only from wholesome food well digested.
