places not affording a firm foundation

with good earth, sand, gravel or crushed
rock, carefully rammed or rolled so as to
make such filling compact and solid.
The full width to be paved shall be
sprinkled and thoroughly rolled and com
pacted with a roller, of not less than 5
tons weight, or by ramming in such
places as the roller cannot reach, and
if during the process of rolling, indenta
tions or sunken places appear, such shall
be filled with proper material, and then
again rolled, until even surface is secured.
Such rolling shall be completed in sec
tions of at least one block, and shall be
tested and accepted by the City Engineer
before any material for the pavement js
placed thereon.

Mr. G. W. Fowler, of Hightower, Ala.,
relates an experience he had while serv
ing on a peit Jury in a murder case at
Edwardsville, county seat of Clebourne
county, Alabama. He says: "While there
I ate some fresh meat and some souse
meat and it gave me cholera morbus in
a very severe form. I was never more
sick in my life and sent to the drug store
for a certain cholera mixture, but the
druggist sent me a bottle of Chamber
lain's Celic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy instead, saying that he had what I
sent for, but that this medicine was so
much better he would rather send it to
men in the fix I was in. I took one dose
f it and was better in five minutes. Tha
second dose cured me entirely. Two fel
low Jurors were afflicted in the same
j manner and oe small bottle cured the
three of us. For sale by Geo. A. Harding.
