oMonteomery, Aug. 31.-(Special)-A prominent New York banker has sent copy of the New York Sun to gentle mar, in this city with the following edi- torial marked, and on the margin of the paper he writes: "I hear more of this sort of talk here now than I ever heard before. Good times are ahead for you The editorial reads as follows:

Harlow left that city on the afternoon of Sunday, August IS, en route to Montgomery puts different phase on the matter of his murder, and tends to weaken the case against the negroes, Baker and Rhifer, who are in jail. It, however, has developed another theory and that is that Harlow was knocked from the freight by some tramp, who, after knocking him off, jumped off him. self, robbed his victim and then dragged his body into the thicket.

The Veterans Will Go in Style.

The Montgomery post of the Grand Army of the Republic veterans will leave here for Louisville to attend the grand reunion there next month in the most elaborate style. They will make the trip in a handsome new Pullman, which will be decorated profusely with banners and cotton stalks, grains and grasses, and will show the 300,000 visitors to Louisville that they come from a country that grows lots of good things. On each side of their car will be a large streamer, on which, will be inscribed, Woods Post, Montgomery, Ala, G. A. R." Montgom- ery's delegates comprise forty or fifty of her best citizens, and every one of them is true friend to the city and state of his adoption. They will all go to Louisville with the determination to Say a good word for Montgomery when occasion offers Every Alabama delegate to the reunion will wear a cotton bloom in his lapel with unconcerted pride, they Say. It Is particularly gratifying that Montgomery, the birthplace of the Con- federacy, should send as large, as cred itable. and as enthusiastic delegation as will attend from here.

These girls, animated by commend

with their efforts, however, and resolved
upon radical reform III their method
of procedure. 1t was thought cxpediont
to do their philanthropic sewing by

circle meets the seamstress goes to tho

He Complied.

They are telling story at the expense
of very charming young North Carolina
girl, who lives here. 1t runs this way: The
girl, as I said, is charming but like a
great many other charming people she is
poor. She never has more than two even
ing gowns in season, and the ruin of one
of them is always very serious matter to
her. She went to little dancing party,
and she wore brand new white frock.
During the evening great, big, red faced,
perspiring man came up and asked her to
dance. He wore no gloves. She looked at
his well meaning but moist hands despair
ingly and thought of the immaculate back
of her waist She hesitated bit, and then
she said, with winning simle:
"Of course I'll dance with you, but if
you don't mind-won't you please use
your handkerchief"
The man looked at her blankly mo-
ment or two. Then light broke over his
face.
"Why, certainly" he said.
And he pulled out his handkerchief and
blew his nose. -Washington Post.
