REFORM III SPELLING.

The movement to introduce reform in spelling has arguments against 1t as well as in it's favor. Such change would destroy one of the most effective features of the English language. In large num- Der of our words the sense is strength ened by the sound Such words as roar, rattle. hiss, whistle, buzz, crackle, crash, click, sneeze and many others of like na- ture. were formed to initiate the sounds themselves. Very often the name given a bird is formed to initiate it's cry, as cuckoo and whippoorwill. No doubt the cuckoos will all oppose the new style of spelling, which proposes to eliminate many consonants, and thus change the sound of so many words These sound- words form one of the most beautiful characteristics of Anglo-SaXon speech. The poets also will object to any change of the kind proposed for such change would further curtail the number of words that rhyme and they would be hard put to it to form their jingles. Even now they are so hampered for the want of rhyming words that many of them are driven in desperation to blank verse. Such a change would also make obsolete the poems that are now in existence and that so enrich the English literature.

A Bit of Family History-Superiority of
 Franklin County Ores.


 Russellville, June 26.-(Special Corre- spondence.)- )-Uncle Bob Duncan of near Russellville one of the pioneer settlers of Franklin county, is perhaps one of the most active men of his age in Alabama. He is now in his S4th year and can per form as much manual labor with as much ease as any man many years his junior. He has raised seven children, all boys. the youngest of whom is about 45 years old He has thirty-four grand- children and nine great grandchildren. A prominent furnace man in north AL abama stated this week that he was pro ducing eghty-ffve tons of iron per day from the Tennesse ores. and that if he could get the brown ores from Franklin county. this state, he could easily pro- duce 130 tons per day. This speaks well for the north Alabama ore, and is one of the many facts that go to show that AL abama is one of the greatest states in the union. The Franklin county ores run easily 55 per cent when properly con centrated.

 Opelika, June 2s.-(Special Core spondence.)-The populists, who fa- vor a combination or coalition with the republicans, are on the move in this section. Yesterday Good wyn, Bowman and Aldrich met all the local populite celebrities. with a number from Randolph and Chambers counties. From the sentiment of some of the local populists they will not take the advice of the Kolb Tribune but want fusion with the republicans. as it is the only method by which any ''loayes and fishes" can be brought in sight. They prefer supporting d straight republican ticket, with gold standard platform, and get some of the offices, to supporting the glitteriBg generslties of a p0pulist plat form, with a free silver attachment, and getting overwhelmingly defeated.

Mcpherson. very aged and infirm white lady, was on trial yes terday before United States Commis- sioner Stanford for fraudulenily drawing a pension, and was committed to jail to await the action of the federal court at Montgomery She excited much sym pathy on account of her pitiable condi- ton.
