OZARK.
Frotracted Meeting Postponed-Ne and
 Old Cotton-Big Fruit Promise.

Ozark, May 1.-(Spccial Correspond ence.)-The protracted meeting at the Methodist church was postponed one week. The meeting will commence next sunday and continue for several days.
 The city council will hold it's regular monthly meeting tomorrow night.
 A gentleman said last Monday that he had forty-four bales of cotton to sell, but would hold it until he could get 7b cents per pound for it. The beauty of this assertion is, that he is able to do Just what he said he would do.
 Some of the farmers complain greatly or poor stand of cotton, caused no doubt by the continued dry weather just after planting. The recent rains, how eVer will do much towards causing it to come up.
 pr. R. D. Reynolds closed out his lot ot 280 bales of cotton last Saturday to Marks 6S Gayle of Montgomery, for which he received 61s cents per pound. The doctor has been holding this cotton Tor the past year or two and was anxious to unload.
 The indications are that there will be tnlS year the largest fruit crop in the history of the country. The trees are fa1riy loaded with fruit, which will very soon begin to ripen. Our people should take advantage of the abundance and make preparations to save as much of it as possible and not allow it to be a loss.

It was captured in a steel trap about two months ago by a gentleman up in the free state of Winston, where the people are as free as was his eagle ship when he was soaring in the pure air over the tall mountains of that grand old county, famous for the hospitality of it's people. The doctor purchased the bird here last week, and says he wanted him as companion to his wife's canary. His eagleship Is very fastidious about his diet.

RECEIVER DISCHARGED.
The Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Lol
 Gives Supersedeas Bond.

The Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis
 Gives a Supersedeas Bond.
 The receiver for the Tennessee and Coosa Railroad company which was not long since granted on the application of Danforth & Armstrong, has been dls- charged says the Huntsville Mercury. It seems that the above firm had here tofore obtained judgment against the Tennessee and Coosa Railroad company upon an old claim for a breach of con tract. This was a debt which existed prior to the purchase of the present owners, the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway. and when the latter company became the purchasers they re- qulred bond of indemnity from the former owners of the Tennessee and Coosa Railroad company to hold them harmless from all claims then existing or claimed to exist, and all costs in de- lending said suits. When the judgment was obtained by Danforth & Armstrong it became necessary under the laws of Alabama to give super sede2S bond, and this the indemnitors failed to do. Upon this failure the receiver was ap- pointed, whereupon the Nashville, Chat tanooga and St. Louis railway, in order to relieve the property from the hands or the receiver, came forward and gave the supersedeas bond themselves. thus diScharging the receiver and dismissing the case in the federal court at Birming- ham. The original suit is now pending in the supreme court of Alabama, and will be submitted for decision in June The bond of indemnity given to the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway is ample to protect them in the premises. and they will bring suit on this bond as soon as the case is finally de- cided, if they have the judgment to pay.

Fish Galore.

About four years ago the national gov- ernment stocked the Warrior river with white shad, and of this commendable act our people are now enjoying the benefit. Yesterday the banks of the river above lock No. were lined with ardent fisher men, and within few hours many hun dreds of the finny inhabitants of the stream were taken from their watery home, and last evening as a result there were perhaps but few families in Tuska- loosa that did not enjoy fish for supper The river seems alive with the silvery beauties, and the local disciples of Isaac Walton are having rare sport in hooking them@Tuskaloosa Times

OPELIKA.
Much Mystery Surrounds the Death oi
 Young Mitchell.

Opelila, May "A jury was empan- eled yesterday morning at Judge Mead ow's. office to investigate the sudden death of young Taylor Mitchell, who died here Monday, but arrived at no conclu- sion. The jury was adjourned over till next Monday morning.
 It would be impossible, of course, for the jury to say whether or not Taylor Mitchell was poisoned until it is deter mined by analysis that poison is present in the stomach.
 The stomach was taken out yesterday and carried to Auburn by Bailiff Will Hanson Smith and turned over to Prof. B. B. Ross, state chemist, for analysis It will be four or five days before the analysis can be completed and the result known.
