KOLB ENDORSED
By the Republicans Of Madis
son County.

At the Republican convention
held here last Saturday, the follows
ing resolution was adopted.
Resolved, That in the opinion of
the convention it is not advisable
for the Republicans to nominate a
ticket. No other question can be
involved in State elections in Ala
bama until the rights Of suffrage
are secured. We recognize the fact
that the Teffersonian Democracy is
now engaged in struggle for the
right of suffrage and we advise all
Republicans to support Kolb for
Governor and to support the whole
Jeffersonian ticket, State and Coun-
ty, with the view Of overthrowing
the Organized Democracy that has
for years, in this state, by fraud
denied the people the right to elect
their own officers.

business trip, and returned with his
lovely bride on the 21st, and many
were the friends at his parents
charming residence to meet them,
and take part in the splendid recep-
ton given them.
With many regrets we note the
death of Mr.. John Alexander,
which sad event occurred on the
night of the 18th. He leaves wild
ow and two children to mourn his
loss. They have the sincere sympa
thy of many friends.
Mr.. Thomas Mcdonald and Miss

A PROFITABLE WEEK
At the State Normal School this Week

At the State Normal School this Week
Those who had the pleasure and good
fortune to be present at the Teachers
Institute and Ministers Congress at Nor.
NAL this week have received untold good,
both spiritually and intellectually. The
lectures delivered we're deep, thoughtful
and scholarly. The discussions which
followed were filed throughout with vi
vacity and interest. Truly blest is Nor.
NAL and great fountain she is to the
negro race.
The lectures yesterday we're equally as
good as those which preceded them.
DR.. R. T. Pollard, OF Montg gomery, lee.
tured on "Jusus Christ in Hope" Words
are too week to express correctly the
merit and force Of this discourse. Suf-
fee it to say that the lecturer did full
justice to his subject and honor to him
self. He delivered the last OF his lee
lures last night.
DR.. Nelson having delivered all his lec-
lures left for his home yesterday morn,
ing, much to the regret Of all who had
heard his able course of lectures. DR..
Nelson is one Of the most learned
men Of the race and the only colored man
who has studied the Assyrian language
in the United States. He is professor
under the renowned DIR. Harper, of Chi>
cago.
The work done this week at Normal
cannot fail to produce good results for
the benefit Of the race, not only in this
State, but in many States, as the audi,
ence which listened TO these lectures
were composed Of representatives Of
other States who will spread the good
work. Owing to mistake which brought
all the lecturers here at the same time,
the Congress will close earlier than was
at first anticipated, but the Institute will
continue.
The Congress has been decided sue
cess and Prof. Councill is to be congrat>
ulated upon the success Of this first effort.
The bible work will be continued with

Our esteemed contemporary, the

with the peoples party to dethrone

policy is dangerous when the repub-
