SELMA, Feb. 13.-[Special Correspond ence. ]--The Young Mems Christian asso ton has arranged a union meeting of all churches in the city for Thursday night, February 21, at which time Rev. Beverly B. Warner of New Orleans will make an address on association work in its various phases. Dr. Warner is rector of Trinity church, New Orleans. He is an enthusi- astic Young Mems Christian association worker and an orator. The good people of Selma will receive and hear him gladly.
 Municipal politics grow warmer as the weather grows colder. It is evident that @ fight must come. but all are rejoiced that the fight will be inside the ranks of the democratic party, and that good feeling will prevail. A fair, square fight inside the party can do no harm to the party, but will rather tend to strengthen it. There. form element of the party has named a campaign committee, composed of five men from each ward. The committee held its first meeting in the office of MT. Menthorne Woolsey, on Water street, last night. As yet they have given out nothing for publi- cation, but 1t Is understood that they will put out a full ticket, with MT. w. P. Welch at it's head.
 The young lady friends of the Calumet club rendered a novel dance to the young men of the Calumet club in the Harmony club rooms last evening. The young ladies put themselves in the place of tue young gentlemen, requesting their company for the evening and in the dance, and bore all the expenses of the dance, including car riage hire. Elegant refreshments were served, and beautiful souvenirs were pre- scented to each guest.
 Mir. J. H. Lumpkip and Miss Sallie Ken. non were married at the residence of the brides sister, Mrs. David Vaughn, on Lauderdale street, at 8 o'clock this after. noon. The wedding was a quiet, though elegant affair. Only the immediate family of the contracting parties were present. Rev. Dr. Lamar performed the ceremony. Mir. and Mrs. Lumpkin left at 4 p. m. on a bridal tour. They will visit Mobile and New Orleans. Their many friends wish and predict for them long and happy life.

 OXFORD, Feb. 13.-[Special Correspond ence. i-The scoop of sensationa news about fifteen or more people falling through the ice into OK ford lake made by the Consti- tution's 's reporter was only fighty freak of a 'Joe Mulhatton" brain. Oxford lake is frozen over except at the spring, but the ice is too treacherous for the most foolhardy to attempt to skate upon it.
 We have had the blizzard and the freeze, the frozen rain and sleet until the trees are breaking under tue burden of ice and the earth Is as slick as a sea of glass. Last night a light skiff of snow fell and furries at irregular intervals today, and as the night comes on 1t thickens and is more continuous and looks as if the earth is to be buried under a double layer of ice and snow. Business Is at standstill. Sleigh bells jingle down the street and coastin g arties have fine sport down the hillsides.

HIS CARfFR HIRE
Knorr's work with the Hustlers this
year. | am sorry to say, has not been
up to his usually high standard, but
stil one fact remains. that he can at
times pitch winning ball. IL seems that
when he goes in the box that is the very
day the team selects to do their poorest
fielding. and consequently. while Knorr
has pitched winning ball, his poor sup
port has caused him 10 lose games That
should have been his. He has a peculiar
clock-work, corkscrew kind of delivery
that is very deceptive. His speed Is good
and he uses a high and drop ball with
wonderful effect. Some OF the best
games that have been pitched for Rich
mond this year have been by Knorr. He
is a heady twirler. but he appears 10
lose heart n bit when he is hit several
times He is a fair batter, and one OF
the best coachers Richmond has.
Knorr Is q jolly. good-natured, witty
ball-player and even If he has not shown
up this season as well as might be ex-
