"October's tumbled under, -
Begin to watch your shotes;
Let cotton go to thunder
And go to sowir' oats"
CLAYTON Courier,

And go to sowin' OATS
Clayton Courier.
| The Eufaula Times makes this timely
suggestion:
"rramps In large clusters are now max
| ing their annual trips south. The city
needs labor and when any member of this
hobo fraternity comes into the town the
| police should nab them"
The editor of the Cleburne New Era
has been philosophizing:
IF you put two persons in the same
| bed room, one of whom has the toothache
and the other is in love, you will find
| that the person who has the toothache
will go to sleep first. Isn't it curious?"
The Talladega Reporter says:
zone hundred years hence the now rich
| north will be a wind swept desert and
| its cities the habitation of owls. unless
| rapid steps are taken to replace the tim
| Der which is rapidly being removed from
| that section. The south might also take
a note of warning along the same lines"
Conecuh Record; A representative of
| the Record has made several trips
| through the country and has been i'm
pressed with the need of a stock law.
| The expense of keeping fences is an item
| that must not be lightly regarded by the
| farmers. And the fact that our valuable
timber is being too rapidly used in this
way Is another strong argument in favor
| Of such a law.
The Cleburne New Era pays the follow
| ing tribute to Mr.. Peter ZinSzer.
1T is with regret that we chronicle
Che death of Mr.. Peter Zinszer, the we'll
| known furniture dealer of Birmingham
which occurred at his home in that city
| on Tuesday 1t was our pleasure to be
| personally acquainted with Mr. Zinszer,
| and drawer knight or truer Christian
| is seldom ever found"
| Says the Russellville Idea:
at is very significant that neither the
volunteer soldiery of Georgia nor the state
militia of the same could be induced to
| meet the president and his party or show
them any courtesy in Atlanta. The
| gold-bug press attribute 1t to local jea1-
| ouSy, but 1t Is more probable that the
| cause lies deeper than this-a sensible
public can guess"
| The Russellville Idea says that the only
| parties present at the populist rally set
| for the 26th ultimo were Hon. James P.
| O'Reilly and the editor of the Russell
Vile Hustler. Not being enough for a
| quorum they sang the following verse
and adjourned the meeting:
| This world is all fleeing show
For mans illusions glven;''
Populite rallies are nothing but woe
| There's nothing true but heaven"
| Small things like an earthquake can't
| disturb the peaceful city of Eufaula.
She sleeps the sleep of the blest. The
Times says:
| IAN earthquake shock was felt all over
| Alabama Thursday morning at o'clock,
and also all over the country. Eufau-
4 ,A+ frzI4 oh faH 1tax
| are not disposed to be disturbed by any
| thing at any time. We were not to
| be shaken or walked up by a small earth
| quake"
Miss Bessie Delp will edit the local and
social departments of the Huntsville Tri-
| bune. Speaking of her the Huntsville
| Mercury says:
1.-The Evening Tribune has engaged the
| services of Miss Bessie Delp to edit its
| local and social departments. Miss Delp
| having been born and reared in this city,
| is well known here as a young lady of
| energy and intellectual qualifications and
| will no doubt prove to be great success
in the rounding up of city news"
Says the Talladega Reporter,
Cartoons speak louder than words
| sometimes. A recent one represents I'm
| Gle Sam with a rope around his neck, the
| rope over d HIND anu JOIln SHERMAN pull
| ing the rope. Carlisle is going through
| Uncle Sans pockets and hands Cleve-
| land the gold, Cleveland turning 1t oyer to
| a grinning Israellte, in the person of one
| of the Rothschilds. Surely this is pic
| ture calculated to make the blood of ev-
| cry true American boil in wrath as he
| considers how true the portrayal is to the
| facts"
The following from the Conecuh Rec
ord is a wise suggestion. Many young
| criminals are sent to the chain gang for
| petty offenses who might be reclaimed to
| society and make good citizens were it
| not for the influences thrown around
| them in their confinement by having to
associate with those who are hardened to
crime. The press can do much good by
| directing the attention of the public to
| the Importance of establishing such a
reformatory, and if accomplished will
prove greater benefit to the race than
| the election of any man to office:
| 1.-The press of the state is urging the
| esta blishment of a reformatory for young
| criminals by the next legislature. Many
4 young boys are now placed in the peni-
| Tertiary subject to all the communicating
influences of prison life, who, if properly
/ cared for and trained In reformatory,
would come from confinement to make
| respectable and useful citizens"
