CTexas SiftingsL1
The sun had retired through the golden patas
To his bed in the gilded west,
And the moon was fitting her silver horn.
When the girl that l loved best
Was slowly swinging around with me
In the waltz's passionate whirl;
And my heart kept time to the fairy tread
Or my girl, my beautiful girl.
The stars sbone out on the dusky night
Like the pin near her milk-white throat.
And her voice was tender and sweet and low
And her hands but how could / note
Every charming turn of form aud face.
When one most bewildering curl
Foil over her brow and kissed the white Ids
OF my girl, my very best grill
She breathed her love on my tender soul
Like n sight from the land Of the best.
And looked in her eyes with a right that
wns mine;
And then-shall ! tell you the restl
We returned to tho room and the music
swelled out,
And again she essaycd the mad whIrl;
But another man had her-the.son-of-1-RunI
Obi my girl, my beautiful grill
And he kept her.

Some three hundred people witnessed
the races at the driving park yesterday,
and, as was predicted, saw some good
trotting in the leading contest. The
weather was pleasant but somewhat
cool, which, combined with a sharp
wind, materially lessened the chances
for fast time. The track was in very
good condition, although from the ma
ture Of the ground the horse next the
pole had more the advantage than the
difference in distance would enIitle him
to. The first race called was that be-
tween Lady" and 'sTeaser," in which
the great interest of the day centered.
On the first heat the horses got an ever

yond the wire, losing badly and never
regaining her position, 'Teaser" WIN
ming by several lengths, in 1:20. On
the second heat they also started even
but ''Teaser'' quickly forged ahead and
the mare could not regain the lost dis
lance, coming in considerably behind
the gelding. The third heat was but
a repetition of the preceding, "Teaser''
winning it and the race handlly.
Following is the summary: Match

Time, 1:2o, 1:l94, 1:17i.
There was con siderable betting on
the result, but it is generally conceded
that the race was a fair one, each horse
being driven for all it was worth.
"Teaser" is undoubtedly a beautiful
horse for a half-mile track, his action
being just calculated for effective work
on the short turns, which is exactly
where he got the best of Lady" her

BIRMINGHAM, ALA,
I'm a Fair Way TO RecOne One of the
Railroad Centers OF the south.

I'm "a Fair Way TO RecOme One of the
Railroad Centers OF the South.
Special to the Appeal.
BIRMINGHAM, December 14.-There is
much talk of new railroads to Birming-
ham, and it looks as if one or two will be
built before long. Three of the proposed
lines are. to run Memphisward, cia Cor
inth. These are the Birmingham and
Northwestern, OF which an account was
given in this correspondence last week {;
the Memphis, Marion and Selma extern
sion, and the extension of the Georgia
Pacific, which latter, however, may 90 to
Columbus instead of Corinth 1t is con-
sidered probable that Il decision may be
made public in a few days as to the build
ing of this extension and its course if
built. Then there is the Alabama Grand
Trunk line from Mobile, which would
run through the best agricultural country
in the State. This road was built out
some distance from Mobile some years
ago, but only through the poorest country
on the line, and as it didn't pay the track
was torn up. 1t is proposed now to COM
plete it to birmingham and run it under
the name of the Mobile and Birmingham
Work will probably begin in January.
Another projected road in which Mobile
is showing considerable interest is from
Narkeeta, Miss, about twenty miles above
Meridian on the Mobile and Ohio, through
the coal fields of Walker county in this
State to Decatur. A preliminary survey
OF this line is being made and the engin-
.crs pronounce it remarkably easy OF con-
struction.
Mobile is asking, with. apparently more
earnestness and purpose to act than ever
before, what shall she do to be saved. At
business mems meeting there a few
nights ago several of the speakers ex-
pressed very candidly the opinion that il
something wasn't done for the town, and
done quickly, she would be hopelessly
left. The favorite project there is 20 get
into the coal fields of North Alabama by
means of a new railroad. If this were
done Mobile would have advantages over
any part in the country as a coaling sta
ton.
Birmingham has an excellent fire ser
vice. as has been shown on several ocCa-
sions lately. There is no engine, as the
reservoir is high enough for all purposes,
but the hook and ladder companies have
saved there is no saying how much prop
erty, and some of it by work that would
have done credit to metropolitan firemen.
The work costs the city nothing, the ser
vice being volunteer throughout.
~ The rolling-mill company publishes in
to-morrow's papers notice to the striking
puddlers, rollers and heaters that if they
do not signify by the Goth of this month
their willingness to work according to the
Pittsburg scale, TO consider themselves
discharged, and the company will lookout
elsewhere for labor. This announcement,
promising an early resumption of work at
the mills, will be warmly welcomed, as
the stoppage has been seriously felt.

JoNEsBoRo, December 1S.-Since the

Your correspondent paid the hourishiny
little town OF Paragould a short visit the
early part of the week. This place is
situated in the southern portion OF Green
county, twenty-one miles north of Jones'
boro. Two years ago the place where the
town now stanns was a dense forest. Dur
ing the early portion of last wear the
Knobel branch of the st. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern railroad was built
and Paragould was laid of as one of the
depots. From the very beginning the
town built up rapidly. Houses were built
in quick succession, and now they boast OF
a population of GOO. Every line of
business is represented and all ap-

form the acquaintance OF all the business
men OF the town, my time being limited,
but with those that / did meet was hap
PLY pleased. Among those that now
remember l will mention w. W. Meri-
wether & Son. These gentlemen are the
leading grocers of the place. They carry
heavy line of family groceries, plantation
supplies, farming implements and, in fact,
a complete assortment of every article
usually TO be found in a first-class family
grocery store. l found the senior member
OF the firm. Mr.. w. w. Meriwether, to be
one of the most pleasant gentleman that i;
has ever been my good fortune to meet.
His son, Mr.. Robert Meriwether, is asso-
cisted with him in the business He is q

qualified to assist his father in managing
the business. They have but recently
