A heavy hail storm passed over Salem Friday
night doing good deal of damage to windows
and fruit At Mr.. Whites Ii broke all Of the
window glass in the west side OF bis house: nj
and In some places what corn was up was cut
of so that one could not tell whether or not any
corn had been planted; a row Of hedge on Simon
Klutzbachs farm was almost entirely denuded
Of leaves. A great deal Of glass was broken in
the NJ. E. church at Maple Grove Several
others had windows smashed. We do not think
ceiye much injury. We don't know what Salem
has done that she should be swept by fire, flood
and hsilstorms SO often unless il is because
there are so many Alliance people here.
Some one has taken the frame and the charter
Of the +. NJ. b. A. from the school house at
Salem. The frame cost 81 80 and certainly did
not belong TO any one individual. If any one
wanted it. IL should have been putup at auction
and the money turned over to the Sunday
School The box where the goat and other
paraphernalia was kept, has also disappeared
The box cost 81 80 too. One man told us the
other day that he would give dollar for the
box and we would give as much for the frame
There are quite good many inquiries as to
where they are.
Mrs. Ben Davis was quite sick the latter part
of last week with chills. J B. Flynn was called
to attend her. She is better at present.
Dr.. FLYNN is getting quite a good deal OF
practice and is giving good satisfaction here
He Is one of our Salem boys, and everyone
is gratified at his success
Miss Mary pepper is at home this summer.
Mr.. pepper is one of the men who are making
Mrs Sarah Mabie arrived last week at her
fathers home, from TeXarkana. Texas, where
she has resided for the past two years, and
where her husband, Andrew, died little over
a year ago. George Brady, her brother, Is eX-
pected back from there soon.
Miss Laurie Porter and her mother were In
lola last week.
Miss Maggie Johnson was around looking for
music scholars the other day. We understand
she is quite an accomplished musician.
The Alliance qas only Onr leg to keep in the
middle of the road with now that the South
ern leg was Knocked off at Birmingham the 9th
er day when the Alliance presidents met and
determined not to have any third party in the
South. The election next fall will knock the
other one off when the whole thing will go into
the unknown and the people will get a breath
of relief. 1t would seem as though the Peoples
party men of the North ought to begin TO see
since the action at Birmingham that they have
been used as q cat paw to rake the Democratic
chestnuts out of the fire In the Republican
States of the North. Did it ever occur to the
Republicans in the Alliance that there is not d
single Democratic State in which there has
been anything like the effort to organize a third
party that there has been in the Republican
States. True few Northern men and women
went into the Democratic States and preached
third party but were distinctly told to mind
thor own business. and all of them with the
exception of Jerry Simpson came home The
meeting at Birmingham, to which they were
were hocus Focused You Republicans who
joined the Alliance party, honestly believing
that things were wrong and that they could be
righted by the new party, might ask yourselves
II y0n have not been used by designing men tC
further their own ends or of the Democratic
party. We have no doubt but that many Dem
Ocrats went into It honestly wishing to right
what they thought was wrong.
