Elsewhere will be found q notion OF
the arrangement by which the INDE-
fSNDENT can be. dubbed with tho
Weekly San Francisco Examiner. The
Weekly Examiner considered to DO
one OF the best Hewspapers published
in the United States. and is certainly
the best printed on the Pacific Coast,
which everybody is interested in hear
ing from in view of the marvellous
growth OF California and the North
western States. The publisher Of the
Examiner is w. II. Hearst, only son OF
the late Senator Hearst, who has ex-
pended an enormous amount of money
in establishing the paper and making
a success of it; and his liberal offers
to subscribers have been 30 effective
that in California, Oregon and WASH
ington almost every one takes the
Examiner. Our offer to furnish both
papers for s. is an exceedingly liberal
one, and We expect 10 obtain large
list OF subscribers for the Examines,
as we'll as for the WEEKLY INDEPEND-
ENr; so that somS Of the magnificent
premiums in the Examiners $l25,OO0
list will como into this neighborhood.
Every subscriber gets one OF tho
magnificent premium pictures with
the Examiner, besides what may be
given in the grand distribution of
Sl25,OOO in extra premiums worth

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

There being no services at the First
| Presbyterian Church last Sunday,
Mr.. McFerrin at the Methodist Church
was greeted by an unusually large
congregation, and this popular pastor
rewarded his hearers with a most ex-
cellent sermon. The music was also
especially attractive, Mrs. Richey, of
Louisville, being at her old time
place and leading the choir with her
beautiful bird-like voice.
There will be no services at the
First Methodist Church, until further
notice. Mr.. McFerrin will take q
two or three weeks vacation.
There were no services at the
First Presbyterian Church last Sun
day, and will not be until further no.
tice, owing to Mr.. Webb's absence,
who is taking his summer vacation.
|unday-schOol and the regular
Wednesday. night prayer meetings
will be continued as usual, however.
The music at st. Peters church
last Sunday mo- ming was grand. The
old quartette choir sang for the
first time in nearly two years.
Baumbach's grand "Te Deum" was
admirably rendered. AS if inspired
for the occasion, Mr.. Metcalf
preached an excellent sermon, in
fact one of the best we ever heard,
and it is matter of regret that every
Christian III our community did not
hear it.
AT the South Columbia Presby-
terrain Church last Sunday Rev. ]. G
Mitchell preached an able, logical and
interesting sermon to a crowded
house, q great many of his old con-
gregatiou going out to hear him. Mr..
Mitchell will occupy this pulpit reg
ularly hereafter except when other
wise announced.
"A protracted meeting will begin

and made very appropriate talk at
the close of the sermon last Sunday

His funeral took place from his late
residence yesterday afternoon, con-
Quoted by Rev. A. z. McFerriu; in
ter nent in Rose Hill Cemetery.
Capt. Walker had lived in this
community for many years and was
well known. He was q man of strong
prejudices; intense in his feelings OF
likes and dislikes; q mau Of honesty,
of undaunted and unquestioned cour-

steel.
He leaves surviving him a wife and

Locals As Compared With ''Nationals.' -

Extracts from reports made by the
Building and Loan Associations OF
New York, to the State authorities
discover the following highly inter
esting figures. 357 Local Associations
show for the year
Earnings observation-disclosures. 81 .4l9, 2I4.46
Expenses. ..................... "a, 7S3. ~
Net profit ......-...........$I ,I94, 43I 90
"a Nationals" show for the year
Earnings. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 75,9I0.4
Expenses, including mem
bership fees ........t......... 3I3,576.Z7
Yet, in the face Of these figures, the
agents OF National Associations claim
to be making 25 to 800 profit, and
some of our best men swallow these
"fairy tales" and take stock In these
wonderful Expense fund" concerns,
expecting to get their money back
plus q large margin of profit.
Some of the National" statements
deserve special mention; in fact they
are little wonders'' of themselves.
FOR INsTANCE:-
One of them showed receipts
amounting o.'................S 100000
Expenses. ......''..'... 49,. Z,O3Z.OO
No investments at all had been
made. In short, the officers had done
no business except to spend $2,632O0
of the sharehOlders' money.
One showed gross receipts, OK
elusive of membership fees ..$ll $4,000
Expenses. .......... ............ l3,144.00
Now, the "NationaP" agents-the
men who pocket the $1.00 per share
membership Tees-will tell you that
these are extraordinary cases; but we
defy any National" Association
organized here, to show q full and
complete statement of its business.
If it does we agree to show from its
own figures where 1t has sunk money
for the shareholders.
The above statements are from one
of the States where SUOrH statements
are required.

Big SnnkeS.

Mr.. Jas. S. Perry, of the Lasea
neIghborhOOd, called upon us last
Wednesday, and among other things
told us that few nights ago he was
attracted to his chicken house by a
violent cOmmotion therein. Going
out to investigate he found his dogs,
turkeys and chickens very much
exercised, and on looking into his
hen-house found three or four dead
chickens. Looking about he soon
found large chicken-snake among
some shingles. Mr.. Perry soon killed
his snake-ship, in whose NAV he
found two whole chickens. The
snake was feet inches long. The
next night its mate came looking for
the snake, as was evinced by the
noise of the CANNES and poultry, but
Mr.. Perry was too tired to investi-
gate.

There seems to be steady and healthy
improvements going on all over
Maury.
FROM Mt. Pleasant we came to this
place over the old Military road-a
long, lonesome drive. Since the rail-
road has been completed but little
travel is done and less care taken
over it. The citizens of Lawrence
burg boast of several improvements
and an increasing population with
out any booming or spAsmodle efforts
made to spread the town. We had

illegal lights" of the Columbia bar,
who were here I'm attendance upon
the Circuit Court; Atty General
Jones, George G.. Taylor, q. t. Hughes
and John b. Bond, dispensing legal
advice and watching the interests OF
their clients.
FlOrence, after a few years Of
booming and feveTish excitement,
has relapsed and is now suffering
with fatal attack of deafness. OF
course many of her citizens think IL
will react when money is more plenti-
full and the markets easier, but from
my humble judgment and knowl-
edge of the country to give her back
bone, / think she has enjoyed her
last boom and il now rapidly sinking
into everlasting slumber. Her
wheels are still, the music of the
machinery has hushed and tie
money and means Of many men are
locked up in property that Is decreas-
ing in value every day. Some, how
ever, think another rise will come
and that capitalists with their money
and influence will 80 revolutionize
the city that its present condition il
only an atom to compare with it's
future greatness. We expect to visit
a few more Of the places OF interest in
this part of Alabama. RICHARD.

A PerfeetIy Fair PrODOsitiOn,

We advertise and we promise to
give more flour and better flour for q
bushel of wheat than any one else in
this market. We know what other
people are offering, and we know
what we are willing to do, and that is
why we advertise as we do. Now if
we will do this, it is to your interest
to see Us before you dispose of your
wheat. We make no appeal to old
friendship; we do not put it on per-
sonal grounds; it is purely a matter
of business. To swap your wheat or
sell it for less than we will give you,
is throwing away just that much
money. All you need do is to bring
us sample of your wheat; if we fail
to do what we say, don't trade with
us. Another thing. The Blue Seal
Flour is manufactured by us and I'M
der our brand and no other. Don't
believe your grocer when he tells you
the contrary. Make him get you the
Blue Seal, for it is better than any
body's best, and always s. res perfect
satisfaction. If.
