DOWN IN ALABAMA.
McMinnrille Men and Money Plant
ed IN q Bank There.

While the star of empire still
holds its proverbial course westward
for many of our people from the hay
seed ranks, some of our shrewd and
alert townsmen are setting their faces
toward the more promising land of
the south. Messrs. Will H. Magness,
Jr,, Jas. S. Doyle, and Edgar Mag
ness, all of this place, have purchased
controlling interest in the Bank of
Alfalfa, Alabama, a flourishing town
in rich section of that state, some
fifty or seventy-fve miles northeast
of Birmingham. In the reorganiza-
ton of the board of directors, which
took place last week, Mr.. Will II.
Magness, Jr., was elected President,
and Mr.. Jas. s. Doyle, Cashier. Mr..
Magness will continue in his position
as Vice President of the National
Bank Of McMinnville, but will spend
the greater part of his time in Alfalfa.
Mr.. Doyle will, of course, locate per-
manently there. We regret to lose
them both from McMinnville, but
congratulate the people of Alfalfa up
on their acquisition. They are both
worthy of The utmost confidence, and
fitted in every particular for the re-
sponsible positions they hold.
Though both are young men, they
have been peculiarly successful in
business life, and the Alabama peo-
pie will find them agreeable, prompt,
and straightforward gentlemen.
A special from Alfalfa to the Biz
mingham Age-Herald has this to
say of the transaction:
"For the last eight or ten days a
deal has been on foot that was con-
sumated yesterday. The controlling
interest in the bank of Alfalfa has
changed hands. The stock formerly
owned by T. ]. Watkins, William
Hood, ]. A. and l.. A. May and their
father, has been bought by a strong
syndicate represented by William H.
Magness, Jr., of McMinnville, Tenn,
vice-president of the national bank
there. All of the Birmingham inter.
est in the bank was included in the
deal except that owned by Jonas
Schwab and F. w. Dixon, of thu
Peoples savings bank. AS now or
ganized, the bank of Alfalfa is one O
the strongest institutions in this sec
ton. The new board of director
consists of William H. Magness, Jr.
president; ]. E. Whaley, vice>presi
9 dent; j. S. Doyle, cashier; Georg
Whatley, Edgar Magness, iona
Schwab, F. w. Dixon, J. S. Stewart
and Hugh Carlisle, Guntersville.
"Mr. George Whatley will remain
with the new bank. Alfalfa is pleas
ed to have this Tennessee capita
come to her assistance with tn
help of her Birmingham friends
J who still remain in the directory
Our neighbOrs will have to get
move on them if they want to kee
Y in sight of u.s."

AT WESLEY CHAPEL.

The commencement exercises of school
districts Nos. 100, III and IS of Kechi
township were held at the Wesley Chapel
in the presence of large gathering. I'm
usual interest was manifested by the
friends of the graduates and the exercises
were very entertaining. The graduates
were Misses Rosetta He'll, Maggie Sullivan
and +. w. He'll of district 100; Miss Mile
Cloud of III and Miss Edith Smith of 10.
The essays and orations showed careful
and intelligent thought and the pupils
graduated with high honors.
The educational address to the graduates
was delivered by Mr.. J. NJ. Monroe, who
dwelt at length upon the necessity of lay
ing a good educational foundation and
eloquently exhorted the class to remember
that this was not the finish of their study
but the commencement.
Superintendent Pence then addressed the
school in his usual happy way, speaking to
the point and expOunding educational
truths in a way that has always made him
popular as a superintendent.
Mr.. j. G. Robb then spoke of the grad
uating exercises as an incentive to higher
attachments in pleasing and forcible
way.
The next speaker good naturally put an
end to the speeches by telling a story.
Once upon time an old countryman went
out hunting wife He talked very fast
and fiuently until after he had popped the
question and had been accepted when he
suddenly lapsed into silence. Upon be-
ing asked why he did not talk any more
his only answer was that there was moth
ing more to say.

A cavalry force of some twenty-five ner
surprised small party Of Indians in q
thick chaparral, through which, however
there were numerous glades and openings
The Indians scattered at once and the sol
diers separated in pursuit.
After some time, when the cessation OF
firing indicated that the affair was over,
the commander had the recall sounded
Soon one and then another came in, IN
Til the whole command was assembled
when, 10 the qualification of the officer, al
most every man claimed 20 have killed al
Indian. They went to collect the bodies
On reaching the first one it was found
that nearly every soldier claimed TO have
killed him.
A sergeant dismounted and approached
the body. The PROSTATE Indian rose mp
and dealt a vicious blow with his knife,
which the sergeant barely escaped. When
the Indian was finally killed IL was discov-
cred that he had not less than twenty
wounds.
One bullet, probably the first one, had
broken his hip and thrown him from his
horse. After that be had shot at every
soldier that passed near him. attracting

A recent number of The Guardian con-
tanned an excellent portrait of Enoch S.
Brown, supreme commander of the Amer
lean Legion of Honor. Mr.. Brown has
presided over the destinies of this order for
over three years, and has filled his position
with fidelity and skill. During the twelve
years of its existence SIG, 00O, 600 has been
disbursed by the order to benefciaries Of
deceased members. During 1889 about
two millions and a quarter was paid on
74 deaths. The total membership Dec. 81,
1889, was &c, 457 and the total amount of in
surance in force was Sis, lS4, 500.
No pleasanter place to visit could be
found than the headquarters of the order
at Boston. Supreme Secretary Adam
Warnock is in charge, and will always
open his books to inspection or do what
else he can. The offices are admirably ar
ranged, and for all the room occupied the
rental is only $125 per month. The system
pursued is admirable, and so thorough is
the arrangement OF all papers and books
that the record of each council or member
can be turned to in minute The affairs
of this order are admirably managed, and
1t now has an accumulated emergency
fund of nearly half million dollars.
The A L. of H. had 108 deaths in Jan

month, the effects of grippe" to the
amount Of 60 per cent. Over half were
due to pneumonia.

CENSUS ENUMERATION.

The Hon. Thomas A. Hubbard of Wei
lngton, census supervisor for the Fourth
district in Kansas, spent yesterday in the
city looking after matters relating to the
enumeration. He stated last evening that
there was no cause for alarm anywhere in
his district about imperfect work. 1t was
the instructions from the department that
the work should be completed in every
ward and township before the work ended
While it had been estimated that the work
could be done by a certain time if the work
was not completed the counting would
continue. He thought the enumerators
in Wichita were getting along very well,
and it would take some days yet to COM
plete the enumeration. There would be
kich on time, but there would be kich all
round if the work was not done right

TELEPHONE BUSINESS.

The Hon. John r. Mulvane, of Topeka,
president of the Missouri & Kansas Tele-
phone company, and VIM. 6. McDaniels,
of Kansas City, superintendent of the com
pany, spent yesterday in the city looking
after the interests Of the company. There
were quite number of matters to be Civ
en- attention, nothing of especial import
ance, but taken collectively, of interest to
the company. 1t was stated that the man
agement would remove the telephone poles
on Tenth street should the council insist
on the change, but that the council, in the
face of the franchise and agreement, could
force the company to remove the poles was
not conceded. 1t was represented that the
management would always aim to comply
with the wishes of the citizens just so long
as it was not far beyond reason, as this
plan is thought to be best calculated to re-
suit favorably in securing business.
The business of the company in this city,
according to Mr.. Mulvane, is highly salts
factory, there being over $50 telephones
employed in the city and the demand con-
Stantly increasing
