A Natural Inference

According to Joe Johnstons calamity bowling sheet at Birmingham, prosperity is as far off as 1t ever was; wages do not afford a living, banks are not four lshing, rents are too high, trade is poor, the farmers are in a worse condition than they ever were, tax values are shrinking, and in fact everything is going to the devil. As it's telegraphic service gives daily accounts of returning prosperity elsewhere the State must get it's informa- tion from its own home, and if it is telling the truth the Magic City is in devil of d fix. We advise our friends to stay away from Birmingham. It's a poor town, according to the State.-Exchange

Somebody Wake Up Talladeea.

From the Talladega News-Reporter we copy this:
 A correspondent writing from Gads- den to the Advertiser says "there are sixteen hogs to where there was one last year." Doubtless he is one of the addi- tional fifteen.
 Almost in the next paragraph the same paper says:
 Has Talladega contributed anything yet toward the Alabama exhibit at Att lanta? Are We going to sleep through this opportunity as we did the Columbian exposition offer and have our town and county remain dead in the shell of ob- scurity another century ?-EXchange

Play at It Anyhow.

I think it is the strong minded woman of the day who makes of herself a laugh-' ing stock, not the innocent creatures that men love- I would far rather trust my affairs to a woman's intuition than to a woman's reason The strong minded woman does too much hard thinking. To ponder deeply is one of her mistakes. If she wants to be successful and appear sweet and even angelic in the eyes of all mankind let her put away her judgment and jump to conclusions, as she did in the days of our grandmothers. The girl who jumps to conclusions is the girl who jumps into the arms of a good man, who loves her and makes him and her self happy for life.-Washington News

Where They Belong.

The silver democrats had another meet ing last week in Washington. They dis cussed and resoluted till the heavens trembled, but they finally agreed they would make the fight in the democratic party-that they would go to work, cap- ture beat, county, state and national conventions and stuff free silver down the most obstinate gold bug in the party. We populists once tried a thing of that kind on "old-fashoned democracy" and the result was we got our tails everlast- ingly f1attened. And that is just what is going to happen to these free silver or modern democrats-these that have put on the latest styles and frills. They won't know where they were when the cyclone struck.-Cherokee Sentinel

A woman residing in a flat ordered a piece of ice from the grocery. The youth who brought it was a German. He put it on the dumbwaiter in the basement to be- hoisted up. She pulled away
 "Gracious.' she exclaimed; "how heavy the ice is! The grocer must have given me good weight"
 By great exertion she succeeded in get ting the dumbwaiter up. To her aston ishment she found the boy seated on the ice With the breath she had left she de- manded:
 "What did you make me pull you up here for?"
 Why" replied the boy, 'I thought the cake would be too heavy for you to lift, so I came up to help you off with it.'- Shoe and Leather Reporter.
