OBITUARY,
ADDISON b. HALL

The announcement of the death of Adj
Olson b. Hall, which took place Yesterday
morning, caused a shock of surprise and
regret. Mr. Halls friends knew that his
condition was very precarious, bun the pub
lie generally had not supposed the end to
be SO near. Mr.. Halls death removes the
last representative of one of the most prom
inent, useful and substantial of the leading
BrattleborO families of the first half of this
century. His parents were Gardner c. and
Julia Ann Leayitt Hall His father was a
prominent Brattleboro merchant. but more
than this he was man of strong character
and potent factor in the life of the com
munity There We're eight children in the
family, all of whom were born al the old
homestead on the spot where the Baptist
church now stands, Those best known
locally by the present generation were Geo.
c. Hall. the builder and owner of what j.,
still known as -thp Hall place opposite
GOV. Fuller A. b. Hall and John L. Hall
The latter was the Youngest of the family.
and his death took place iu November.

FERTILE MIR. OLIVER.


 These Kolb orators are hard to beat. Their imaginations are fertile manure heaps. We find in the Eufaula Times, for instance, the following extract from re- port of a Populite speaking in Macon county:
 Regarding the speaking. not much is neces- sary to be said. It abounded in the usual ac- cusations-the same old story, excepting a new one regarding Governor Jones. MT. Oliver stated that it was his honest belief that Governor Jones hired those foreigners to attack the negro miners, thus making a show of justification of his having kept the troops stationed at Birmingham and also make a pretentious show of friendship for the ue- groes.
 Now, MT. Oliver is the Populite candi- date for Superintendent of Education. He declares his "honest belief that Governor Jones hired the foreigners to kill those negroes at Pratt mines.'' The first ques- tion that arises in this connection is, Does MT. Oliver really believe that? Has he no better sense, or is he just deliberately say ing so for possible political effectf
 In either case. do the people of Alabama want a man like that to preside over the destipies of their common schools? A man who would believe thing like that hasn t sense enough to be State Superintendent, and man who would tell it, not believing it-what of him as the guide and model for all tho children of Alabama?
Birmingham age-herald., 1894-07-28
TO ALL THE PEOPLE.

Birmingham asks your help in averting municipal bankruptcy. She asks that each and every voter remember her on August 6, and vote for the Birmingham tax amend ment. It affects no human being outside of Birm ngham, and we need it.
 The Commercial Club is composed of the business men and tax payers of this city. At largely attended meeting yesterday it unanimously adopted report showing why we are bound to have the amendment or go into bankruptcy, and asking the people to vote for that measure. Not vo1ce was raised against it. Some fear was expressed that if the club favored the amendment few tax payers, who prefer bankruptcy to paying our honest debts, would quit the club. They won't do it. This matter is one of common honesty. Shall we pay our honest debts or cheat our creditors?
 Birmingham wants to be honest. She wants to pay her debts, and she asks the people of Alabama to vote for this amend ment and give her the power.
