Mark Twain's famous question to a railway

1t is really surprising how few eminent

names of many of our prominent men
must be familiar, in consequence of the fire.

indeed to see English affairs dealt with as if
England were only some 200 or 800 miles

Greatness is paid homage to by some peo-
pie in very peculiar ways. Everybody
must remember the story,told in connection
with Victor Hugo. The great poet was
startled one morning by the intrusion of
three Englishmen. "Victor Hugo" said
one, consulting pocketbook. The poet
bowed, thinking that he should be asked for
his autograph next. After the visitors had
stared for a few seconds the pocketbook
was again consulted. eleven o'clock; the

appearance at Athens. A gentleman living
in the eastern part of the city stated to a
MORNING NEWS correspondent that a short
time ago two Mormon elders came to his
house and asked that they be allowed to
board for few days. They were described
as being genteel looking men and seemed to
have good supply of money. They would
leave their place of boarding early every
morning and would not return until late
the following night. They seemed to have
no friends, and were inclined to be rather
distant toward their landlord and his
family. They were close observers. how
ever, and once or twice denounced articles
which appeared in the local papers concern
ing Mormonism. They claimed that polyg-
amy is gradually being erased from their
religion. There was strong effort
made to make converts here, but
it failed. At last, being some

was received in this city from a newspaper
correspondent IN McNut, small town five
miles from here, that Mormon elders had
suddenly appeared there and were making
strenuous efforts to induce the people to EN-
brace their faith. A great many converts
have been made, and one David McLeroy

year will greatly exceed in value the entire
value of all manufactures in that State in

products of Alabama was S13, 900, 600, and
the value OF the agricultural products
$56, 600, 900, or considerably more than four

products of the manufacturing and mining

the average yearly value of all agricultural
products Moreover, the manufacturing
products will next year furnish fifty times
as much freight to the railroads as the
