citizens did In his honor they got up a
battle on stills. The town was subject

Of stills at such times. had become very
expert with them, and often had silt
battles on holidays.
The young men formed themselves
into opposing armies, with flags and
trumpets to make the scene gay.
1t was against the rule to use a club
or weapon Of any sort, or to strike with
the fists. Punching with their elbows
ana kicking with their stills, to knock
their opponents legs from under them.

In these silt battles.

WITH THE lLR0ADS.

The air is full of rumors concerning the future of the Alabama Great South ern-whether it will be operated as at present or whether the Southern will as- sume full control and operate it as a di- vision of that system.
 MT. s. H. Hardwick has been quoted to the effect that the Southern will as- sume full control of the Alabama Great Southern on June 1 and operate it as a division of that system.
 Concerning what MT. Hardwick said upon the subject the Cincinnati Enqui- Ter says: The statement of S. H. Hard wick, assistant general passenger agent of the Southern Railway company at Montgomery. Ala, to the effect that the Southern railway would operate the Ala bama Great Southern as division of the Southern Railway company after June l, is said by MT Felton to be incorrect. The Alabama Great Southern will con tinue to be operated in the future, as in the past, as part of the queen and Crescent system"
 Railroad men here are in the dark as to the outcome of this matter, and a world of speculation is going on. Some seem to think that on June l all of the offices of the Southern and Alabama Great Southern at this point will be con solidated while others claim that the offices will not be consolidated, but re- main as they are at present. It will probably be some time before it is defi- nitely known what will be done
 solidated, but remain as they are at present. It will probably be some time before it is definitely known what will be done.

We therefore advise all those who may not be personally acquainted with Dr. Do-- zier, before submitting their cases to any specialist, to consult their own in terests and safety by first making an invt stigation of the home character of the man that they would have treat them.
 If you are member of any church, or if you are Mason, Odd Fellow, K. of H., K. of P, or belong to any order or organization then write 10 some leader, officer or member of such church or order in Birmingham and inquire concerning our professional, social and financial standing. After doing this, write to us plain state- ment of yonr case and inclose stamp for reply. We will give you then our opinion, terms for treatment, etc.
 Our system of mail treatment is the best ever devised, and enables us to cure thousands every year who could not otherwise have been reached by US. It will cost you nothing more than a stamp to get our opinion of your case, which may prove valuable indeed to you.

SILVER SENTIMENT IN L1ND'S
BAILIWICK.

From the Minneapolis Penny Press.
The Tribune gets things badly
mixed in its Campaign of 90" article
Of Monday last. They say that John F.
Jacobson, of this county, is candidate
for congress. 1t is mistake. The man
they probably meant to name was the
Hon. j. r. jacobson. In that same ar
ticle they make the statement that the
sound money" men Of the Second con-
gressional district can control the dis
trict and send Sound Money" delega-
ton to the national convention. They
can do nothing Of the kind. II John
Lind. Frank Day, J. F. Jacobson, H. e.
Hoard and others, who are we'll known
silver men. see At to go into scrap"
with the Sound money" men they can
do them to a finish. The statement
that free silver coinage is losing ground
is not a fact and II the Republican
marty is so foolish as to hug that delu
sion they are going to get left. John
Lind. on a party platform declaring for
silver, would do up any man In this dis
trict who might be foolish enough to
run on the Sound money" platform. II
the leaders of the Republican party have
an idea that they can bunco the voters
into the support of this Cleveland sound
money" rot they are quite simple. State
Auditor Dunn's friendship for silver will
help him out here Good crops and good
prices and a revival of business may
help the so-called Sound money" bunco
steerers, but 1t will take the biggest crop
and the stifYest prices coupled with the
most sweeping revival of business this
country ever saw, to do it.

A PATRIOTIC LETTER.

STAND BY THE OMAHA PLATFORM.
To the Editor:
Pardon this trespass upon your valu-
able space to inquire what grounds have
the honest Republicans or Democrats
who believe in the free coinage of silver
at the ratio of is to to remain in their
old parties after the controlling inter-
ests Of each are in favor TO a single gold
standard and have betrayed the people
on the money plank, as adopted in their
last national conventions? Do they ex-
pect financial relief from parties whose
leaders are owned by England, an alien
enemy to whose interest it is to destroy
their country's prosperity and free in
situations? The old party leaders have
torn down and FRUSTRATED all the funda-
mental principles Of both the Republi-
can and Democratic parties. Enriched
themselves with English gold. While
millions OF those who have supported
them by their votes are bankrupt and
paupers. Do the honest men of the old
parties propose to kiss the hand of their
destroyers, and crawl on their bellies
like whipped ours and vote for Eng
lands hired agents for office? do not
believe they will do SO. The uprising
of the people has already commenced.
