Flames Quickly Destroy Scottsboro Property. Loss More Than $8,000.00. A disastrous fire visited Scottsboro about two o'clock Tuesday morning. Flames were discovered bursting from the rear of the Jackson Union News office by Oscar Staley, who happened to be sitting up quite late reading in his home near by. The alarm was quickly given.

In a few minutes quite a crowd had gathered, but the flames were spreading so rapidly that it looked for a time as if the whole town would be enveloped in flames before anything could be done to check them. The first efforts were to release the horses in Swearingen Lee's livery stable next door to the Union News office. By the time the horses and most of the buggies were taken out, the bailding was ready to fall in. Then it was that the flames were spreading so rapidly that it looked like severeal blocks were bound to go. The barn and warehouse on the southwest corner of the block were the next to catch and in a few moments they had gene up in smoke.

Heroic efforts kept the flames from crossing the streets on the east and west. On both Bides were flimsy frame buildings. Fortunately there was a cistern full of water back of the Seborn store on the east side, and hundreds of buckets" of water were poured upon those buildings by Tom Wright, Otis Bynum, Lon Maples and John Tally, Jr. as fast as Arnold Cothran and Henry Ruckett could get it to them, and the incessant stream ofwater kept up by them saved the day. As it was, the glass fronts in the Sehorn and Davis stores were cracked into pieces and the paint is blistered off.

The 18-inch brick wall of the handsome Skelton- store on the southeast quarter of the block held the flames back in that direction, while George Caldwell and a number of others kept the roof ool with water. The frame buildings en the opposite side of the street on the west side were badly scorched, and their metal roofs and lots of water was all that saved them. At one time the roof of the opera house caught and quite a good-sized hole had been burned in it when the fire was discovered by those on surrounding buildings. Merchants were taking out their stocks and getting hold of their most valuable effects and, altogether, between two and four o'clock there were about the busiest two hours that the people, of Scottsboro have witnessed in many years. It was the first considerable fire in the business part of town since the old part of town around freigh depot was destroyed in 1881.

The loss is about as follows: E. W.

Our Job Work Pleases. Cotton Bloem. Mr. J. H.

Terry brought us a cotton bloom this afternoon, the first of the season we have received from Alabama. We are in receipt of a cotton bloom from J. F. Martin, Omaha, Texas. It is a healthy specimen, raised by Mr.

Martin on his own ground this year. Reversed. The supreme court last week reversed the ease" of Cool son et als vs. Texas Snodgrass, appealed by the defendant from the circuit court of this county. This means a new trial the next term of court.

The case involves some valuable river lands which have been in possession of Mrs. Snodgrass for a number of years but the title to which the plaintiff claim is in them as the heirs of J. M. Gullatt, deceased. Ready for Work, Dr.

Chisholm, dentist, wishes to state that he can uow be found in his office up stairs over the Merchants Bank, and is ready to do dental work of any kind. Parents should never bo unmindful of their children's teeth, impressing upon the little fellows the necessity of keeping nice, clean teeth and mouths, for herein lies the great assurance of good teeth in after years when they will be more competent te realize their value and to appreciate them. The Docter will gladly give any information that he may have, to those desiring it, concerning such things. Suburban Property. On Monday several pieces of land in the Charlotte Skelton Addition of the town, belonging to the estate of the late Mrs.

Annie Edwards, were sold for division amobg her heirs. The several lots were sold to C. Webb, J. D. Snodgrass, Dr.

J. P. Rdrex, L. E. Brown, and Skelton and brought in all about If one feele dull and spiritless in the spring or early summer, they call it "Spring Fever." But there is no fever usually.

It is the after effect of oar winter habits. The nerves are mostly at fault. Tired, worn-out nerves leave us languid, lifeless, and without spirit or ambition. A few doses of Dr. Shoop's Restorative will absolutely and quickly change all these depressing symptoms.

The Restorative of course won't bring you back to full health in a day or two, but it will do enough in 48 hoars to satisfy you that the remedy is reaching that "tired spot." Druggists everywhere are advising its use as a splendid and prompt general tonic. It gives more vim and more spirit to the spoonful than any other known nerve or constitutional tonic. It sharpens a failing appetite, aids digestion, frees sluggish livers and kidneys, and brings new life, strength and ambition. Test it a few days and be convinced. Sold by all.
