HURRAH FOR LINCOLN.
NAVIGATION OPEN TO LOCK FOUR, AND
 THE TOWN ACCORDINGLY HAPPY.

NAVIGATION OPEN TO LOCK FOUR, AND
 THE TOWN AccoRDINGLY HAPPY.
 LINCOLN, April 6. Especial Corre-
 spondence. Jour citizens are very much
 rejoiced over what they consider the crown
 ing event in the history of Lincoln. Today
 a large crowd gathered on the banks of the
 Coosa river to witness the arrival of the
 Clifford, the largest boat on the Coosa,
 with Capt. George McGruder of Rome, Ga., in command. Several thousand pounds or freight were delivered to our merchants at reduced rates of freight. These goods were delivered at Lock Four, just three miles from Lincoln, and our farmers were ready with
 their wagons 10 do all the draying. The government forces at Lock Four have thoroughly graded the road to Lincoln, and
 1t Is now the finest highway in Talladega
 county, thus facilitating the hauling of all freight.
 The excessive rates of freight forced our
 merchants to do something in order to compete With surrounding markets, and, under the excellent leadership of Judge J. C. W ilson, they have effected the arrival of the Clifford with it's iulI load of freight; but they are not yet satisfied. They are now negotiating for through rates of freight to Lincoln via Gadsden and the boats of the CotsA.
 Judge J. C. Wilson says they will be successful, and Gadsden will hereafter con trol the trade oi Lincoln, haodling our 3L00 bales of cotton and deliver l ing our freight at reasouaele rates. | Should they faii to secure through rates, then they will either build boat or buy a | controlling stock in one already built. Lincoln has four live merchants, two of whom oo large advancing busint ss. | The total business of the town amounls to S75 GOO or S8J, ,U00 This will be further augmented uy the large tann1Dg interests of George F. Jones aud the Conchada oil
 mills Of b. Schmidt, and the business of
 1895 will probably amount to S1C0. 900. The
 recent increase of freight along tue SouJher railway has aroused the latent energ ies,
 and this doubtless will inure to the benefit of the town and make Liacoln one of the llveilest points along the southern railway.

DEATH POWDER
Scattered in the Food and Drink of Calhoun County Family.
 Marrow Escape.

Mir. W. 5. Ardls moved to Calhoun county Bradley place, says the Jacksonville Re- publican. So far as he is aware he has the good will of ali persons in the county, and he is at loss to account for a recent effort on the part of some demon to poison his en tire family.
 Last Saturday morning when his wife entered the cook-Toom she found plank of the floor prizsd up and dsother evidences that some one mad entered tue room during the night. She made this fact known to the other nemhers of the family, and in mak- Ing an investigation a powder resent bllng rough on rats was found near the flour barrel. This jed to an Investigation of the Hour and the same powder was readily dis covered in the flour.
 his convinced the family that an effort had bean made to poison them.
 The flour remained untouched and a meal was prepared from other supplies in the house.
 After partaking of the meal prepared one of the liltle girls of the family was taken sick. She being the only member Of the family who drank milk an investigation was made of the milk, and the same pow der found Tn the flour was discovered in tue bottom of the mIk pitcher.
 Fortunately q sufficient amount of the powder ln the milk had not dissolved to produce death and the little girl recovered.
 Mir. Ards says he has not the faintest suspicion as to who was the person that at- tempted to destroy himself and family, as he has had DO difficulty or nisunderstand- ing With anyone since he has been h the county, and, so far as he is aware, he has few or no enemies ID the W orid.

DEMOCRATS BANQUET CoLoRED CLUB.
 TRADE IS GOOD.
 CLAYTON, April 6.-lSpecial Correspond enc. 1.-The election for town officers passed off without breach of the peace or trouble of any kind. The contest was the most hotly contested one that ever occurred in Clayton. From the time the canvas opened, about three weeks since, until the polls closed the candidates and their friends con- tinued the fight with unabated vigor and warmth. Il. H. Aston was elected mayor; b. H. Blair, marshal, and Messrs. Nix, Andrews, Ventrees and Lse, councilmen.
 On Wednesday, night banquet was given by the democratic ticket elected to the col bred Aston and Blair club. Everything the market affords was there in abundance, well prepared and nicely arranged or long tables covered with snowy linen. It was a most enjoyable occasion and heartily ap- preciated by those present. About POO per- sons partook of the repast, and not one of whom but had all he could eat and as much lemonade as he could drink. A number of white people were present, and after en- toying the good things the negroes were served.
 The trade of Clayton, considering the de- precision, has been eminently satisfactory. The merchants and farmers are in as good, If not better, condition than any year pre- vious.
