HORRIBLE II TRUE.-Birmingham Ala,
October pa special to the Age-Herald
from Lafayette records n crime in Tallapoosa
County that has rarely been surpassed in its
horrible details. 1t seems that while Albert
Spaitl,tess IIasae Pldast- children had rnne
give them something to eat, and being refus-
ell they went into the house, and fidning
that there was no one at home but Mrs.
Smith and her little babe, they forced her
into the yard and began ransacking the
house. After appropriating oil they could
find in the way of money and valuables, they
set fire to the house and added horror to the
terrible scene by forcing the distracted
woman to witness the most brutal of ficnd-
ish deeds, which was the tossing of her lit
tie baby in the air and letting it~fall back al
most on the point of sharp knives which
they held under it. The brutes finally heed
ell the frantic woman's cntrcaties and went
away, leaving her with nothing to greet the
return of her horror-stricken husband and
children but her half-dead babe and n
smouldering heap of Goals, where was only n
few hours before their home. People for
miles around have been searching the cOun-
try for the inccndiaries, and at last accounts
three of the negroes had been captured.

Az Ice MISE.--Lntah County, Idaho, comes
to the front with an ice mine. The discov
cry was made in Pine Creek canyon, 1000
feet above the sea. A chilling currant of mir
coming from the direction of bed of moss
was the first thing that attracted the atten-
ton of party of geologists to it, They re-
moved the moss and discovered vein of ice
500 feet long and from four to six inches
thick. The several layers of bouders, debris
aud ice alternated TO depth Of forty feet.
The geologists think this formation belongs
to the glacial period.

The market keep dull. Only cotton put

On comparing prices in this market we find

Every induccment is offered in this market

A CARD OF THANKS.

l have just received letter from lady
of South Pacolct congratulating me for the
items in the Alliance column. Rest assured,
kind lady, l appreciate such letters very
much. The founder Of Methodism once, in
charging some young preachers said, "If yoa
do not make somebody glad or mad every
time you preach you will accomplish but,
little" have been honest in all l have
written and have, dou6tless, rufied, or will
again rufie the feelings Of some but it af-
fords me far more pleasure to receive words
of commendation like yours than censure..
i must and will continue to say what L -ie
Geve to be right, regardless of the cons,.
quences.
You say "you dislike to see the farmers
Alliance of Union County represented ip
such poverty stricken condition, especially
when the farmers are the chief support Of
the county paper" That's right, you stand
by the farmers. One of the noble attributes
of your sex is fidelity, yet must say the me.
jority Of the farmers of our county are II.
deplorable situation, and all on account Of
the want of foresight and energy.
Mr.. Stokes is 7ery kind TO give the far
mcrs column in his paper, that they may
commune with each other and take counsel
together; and let the farmers aud their wives
and daughters embrace the opportunity of
interchangng their observations and ideas
through this column.
There seems to be some misunderstanding
about the space allowed the Alliance Editors
in the TIMES. 1 do not confne you. gentle
men, to one, or even two columns, IT, you
think the interests Of the farmers require IL.

big reductions in Ladies' Hats and all Milli-
merry Goods this season. Call and get some

G6s" Business of all Kinds is nearly nj
standstill in this town. and from what we
hear and read, business throughout the Cot
ton States is almost ir complete state of
stagnation. And the worst feature in our
condition is. the uncertainty N to when
the brakes will be raised, and the wheels
of business started again. At present mat
tcrs i9 mercantile and mechanical businesses
are undergoing such fearful strain that it
will not be surprising if some of those classes
arc soon placed in very uncomfortable posi-
tions, for want of means to pay their indcbt-
ness and carry on their businesses although
they have accounts on their books against
responsible parties. more than enough to
meet all demands.
The present transition state of business
methods. brought about by the Farmers Al
lance, gives all the industrial classes of the
South II severe trial. The money upon which
they depended, from the cotton crop, is in
the cotton bales, upon the farms, and there is
no business doing; those out of employment
ment find it hard-sometimes impossiblc-to
get money to dcfray current expenses.
Tha, this state of affairs cannot last much
longer, we feel confident. Something or some
body must give in and open way for relief.
The ,rial now is ,ruly hard for all classes
except capitalists: but. as we have said before,
once beyond the transition state and the
business ofthc country placed on n healthy.
solid cash basis. an era of sound business
prosperity will he inaugu:atcd, stimulating old
and developing new Industries mt the South.
Honest and spirited competition will keep
prices down To livc-and-lct-livc standard;
money will he brought below mercenary
and speculative price to a sound, legitimate
value; confidence cash and honest business
methods will go hand-in-hand, and doubtful
practices in the conducton of every legitimate
business will place those who resort to them,
where they belong outside the pale of hon
able business circles, and honest men and
methods will control the business of the
country.
With the belief that such will he the benc
fetal results of the Alliance organization, if
its members will cling to it and strictly ad-
here TO its teachings. its aims and objects, We
arc willing to undergo the ordeal and suffer
our share ofthc trials and privations through
which we are now passing
