ALABAMA^ LETTER.
Alexander City, Ala., August 21,18 86
Editors Sentinel:
Believing that a definite purpose in
life is essential to the formation of
useful chat actor, and to successful
competition with the affairs of the
world. I have been earnestly en
deavoring for the past few years to
find in what channel my destined
occupation might run, and, by
snatching at whatever pursuit chance
may have thrown in tho way. I
have only succeeded in conclusively
demonstrating the fact that the fu
ture is still as uncertain as when I
first played Bull Pen by the old
Baptist Church.
But knowing that every effort
gives encouragement, on receiving a
roundabout solicitation to correspond
with the Sentinel, I seize my pen the
last straw of a drowning boy—yet
without the faintest hope of having
struck my talent.
To the country tourist, dots are
plentiful, and the field of observa
tion a wide one, but the dots are so
pitifully commonface, and the observa
tion so generally confined to self
interest, that there is little in either
to entertain the public.
The prospect for crops and the
jitest method of organizing political
caucuses might please your male
readers, while the ladies would be
concerned about the status of fash
ions, and the workings of the temper
ance cause.
As a discussion of these absorbing
themes would require more time
than a short night will allow. I
will imitate the example of the average
country editor, and give an account
of my last change of beadquarters,
which was from LaFayette, via
Opelika, to Alexander City. LaFayette
the seat of Chambers county, is a
townijh little place of about fifteen
hundred souls, containing two hotels,
twice as many bar rooms, it is West
Point’s most formidable neighbor,
and receives a large trade from
several adjoining counties. It is
emphatically a summer resort for
mother hubbards, and has the ad
ditional advantage of being the
terminus of a branch railroad, so
that when people get there they can
go on further; hence they,are compell
ed to stop and make the best of the
town.
These little one gallused railroads
are a notable feature of this State.
The first noticable feature to me, was
fare at five cents a mile, and, although
tickets call for first class fare, a man
is crowded into a little place about as
large as a hotel pantry. On ordinary
occasoins, one car composes the
train. This is divided into three
apartments, the first containing
baggage, mail, express, the second
devoted to the accommodation of the
dark angels, and the third for drum
mers and book agents, leaving no
room at all for gentlemen and ladies.
The engine whirls its little attach
ment along at the rate of twelve
miles an hour, and stops to rest
about fifteen minutes at each station.
Banks are high, cross ties crooked,
grades steep, tressles frequent and
dangerous, conductors irritable, and
| the whole affair indicative of busi
ness as a last resort and pleasure as
■an impossibility. But this rude
' locomotive has benefited many a
I weary traveler, so there is due peace
to its past services and hope for its
i future accomplishments.
A so. r aou s e over furnish d tme
-enough to take in the city of Opelika
and learn that it is a thriving place
' rapidly rebuilding the wrecks made
jby its last fire. The first object that
i one notices on arrival, is an old man
lof peculiar proportions, who stands
between the trucks continually
enumerating the newspapers of all
the surronding cities and closing Lis
singsong speech with “hard bi.ed
eggs, and hard biled ] omuls, fine i
cigars.'’ The first impressions of I
amusements, however, at this tuneful ■
looking case, are changed to thoughts j
of pity, mingled with admiration,
when one sees how readily, though
totally blind, he fishes out an Atlanta
Constitution and returns the coriect ;
change.
In company with a crowd of Gate
City drummers, we boarded the
Dadeville train which steams over the
immense distance of sixty miles in
the short space of five hours. These
improved specimens of hunanity, the 1
drummers understand the art. of
rariety, the so called spice of life, to
such an extent that they find great
amusement in calling hogs, which, ut
the sight of a watermelon rind, will
keep with the cars for an incredi
ble distance.
The most interesting feature on
this road is an iron bridge, now
being constructed over Talapoosa
river, eighty feet above water, it will
span the river for 800 feet. The
cars pass slowly over while the
passengers in timid accents, discuss
the train that was submerged and
the men who were drowned there
uuring the lute heavy rains, as they
watch the workmen substituting iron
spans for wooden ones, only stopping !
to let the cars pass over, It is a
dangerous place and were there any
planks across the bridge, one would
feel more at ease walking than on a
rickety locomotive
Alexander City, though hardly so
large or aristocratic as its name would
indicate, is a business town which is
contending for the supremacy with a
place just above it, called Goodwater,
from the principal fluid imbibed by
its inhabitants. The latter place,
situated on the outskirts of the moun
tains, is noted for its good water,both
mineral and free stone, and for the
roughness and variety of its hills, in
which it far exceeds even our famous
county seat.
In progress, wealth and reform,
this State seems somewhat behind
Georgia. For instance, in most of
our countiis prohibition and the stock
law are regarded as evidences of good
judgment, morality and prosperity;
while here, both laws seem an abomi
nation in the sight of a liberty loving
people. Sumptuary laws are con
demned, while politicians standing on
a dry platform are invited to a back
seat. The bar rooms seem equal in
number and greater in popularity
than the churches. But being all over
a Georgia boy I may be inclined to
exaggerate the advantages of the Em
pile State and depreciate those of her
western neighbor.
The poets say that beloved objects
are prized most highly vhen out of
sight and so it may be in the present
instance. Harlem may appear a lone
ly town to those who are there, but it
looms up as a paradise to one who
cannot see its classic sands.
Here comes in the effect of associa
tion, but a discussion of that would
require an essay that would choke the
Sentinel Goat; so feeling that this
article is more likely to adorn the
waste basket than enter the press, I I
forbear to give your Billy more than
he can conveniently destroy.

BLOOD andMOMEY
The blood of man has mud to do
in shaping his actions durii g liis pi],
grimago through this troublesome
I world, regardless of the amount of
I present or expectant money in pocket
:or stored away in bank. It is a con
ceded fact that we appear asoir blood
i makes us, and the purer the blood,
' the happier, healthier, prettier and
i wiser we are; hence tho oft I'ftoented
interrogatory, "how is your Hood
With pure streams of life-giviig fluid
coursing through our veins, botnding
through our hearts and ploighing
through our physical frames our
morals become better, our coistitu
tiou stronger, okr intellectual facul
ties more acute and grander,itnj men,
women and children happier,hedthier
and more lovely.
The unprecedented demand, tlie
unparalleled curative powers, aid the
unmistakable proof from those of un
impeachable character and integrity,
point with an unerring finger lo B.
B. B.—Botanic Blood Bahn—is far
the best, the cheapest, the quickest
and the grandest ami most powerful
blood remedy ever before known to
mortal man, in the relief ami positive
cure of Scrofula, Rheumatism, Skin
diseases, all taints of blood poison,
Kidney complaints, old ulcers ami
sores, cancers, catarrh, etc.
B. B. B. is only about three years
old—a baby in age, a giant in power
—but no remedy in America can
make or ever has made such a won
derful showing in its magical powers
in curing and entirely eradicating the
above complaints, ami gigantic sales
in the face of frenzied opposition ami
would be moneyed monopolists.
Letters from all points where in
troduced are pouring in upon us,
speaking in its loudest praise. Some
say they receive more benefit from one
bottle of B. B. B. than they have from
twenty, thirty and fifty and even one
hundred bottles of a boasted decoc
tion of inert and non-medicinal roots
and branches of common forest tries.
We hold the proof in black and white,
and we also hold the fort.
POLICEMAN’S VIEWS
Mrs. M. M. Prince, living at, 38
West Fair St. Atlanta, Ga., bus been
troubl’ed for several months with an
ugly form of catarrh, attended with a
copious and offensive discharge from
both nostrils.
Her system became so affected ami
reduced that she was confined to bed
at my house for some time, and re
ceived the attention of three physi
cians, and used a dozen bottles of an
extensively advertised blood remedy,
all without the least benefit.
She finally commenced the use of
B. B. B. with a decided improvement
at once, and when ten bottles had
been used, she was entirely cured of
all symptoms of catarrh.
It gave her an appetite, and increas
ed her strength rapidly, and I cheer
fully recommend it as a quick and
cheap tonic and Blood Purifier.
