PALMER AND BUCKNER.
They Speak in Birminehnm-Thei
Audience Largely Democratic.


BIRMINGHAM ALA. October Is
General John NJ. Palmer and General
Simon Bolivar Buckner. nominees Of the
boiling Democratic party for President
and Vice-President, reached this city at
an early hour this morning. They were
met by a committee OF prominent citizens
and escorted TO the Norris Hotel. where
breakfast vas served At noon they re-
paired TO the Opera-House. where an au-
iience of about 900 had assembled to hear
them discuss the issues OF the campaign.
The railroads made special rates for the
occasion. and citizens of Admission, Deca-
tur Talladega. jasper. Russeilville, Bes-
semer. and other towns availed them
selves Of the opportunity to hear the
nominees. The shops Of the Louisville
ana Nashville railroad were shut down
to give the employees an opportunity to
attend. General Fred. S. Ferguson, com
mander-in-chief OF the department Of Ala
hama. United Confederate Veterans, pre-
sided. sld introduced the speakers.
General Palmer's speech was on the
lines already familiar 10 the readers of
the Southern Associated Press dispatches.
He denied the charge that he had been
guilty OF severity 10 college girls at
Athens. Ga, while cOmmandant there, for
the very good reason that he never was
in Athens and defended his action in en-
forcing the election laws I'm Louisville
when I'm command there just after the
war.
General Palmer was given a respectful
hearing, and at times considerable enthu-
siasm was manifested. though Il was APP
parent that there were many Bryan men
I'm the audience. Occasionally some OF
these would shout for their favorite,
thereby embarrassing the speaker.
General Buckner's reception was. per-
haps. more cordial than that Of his col
league. At any rate he was not inter-.
rupted. 1--WE don't love you for your
politics. but because you are Confed-
crate soldier" some one shouted. There
was nothing new in his speech.
At o'clock the party left in their coach
for Montgomery where they speak to-
morrow night. committee from Mont
cor,ery came up 10 escort them TO that
city. From there they 60 to Mobile. and
thence 10 New orleans. and they may
possibly include Florida in their itinerary.

A Small Land Grant,

What beyond doubt is the smallest body of land ever granted by the United States as a homestead is in Dade, the extreme southeastern county of the state of Florida. It consists of a small island in the north end of Lake Worth, and it is less than one-fourth of an acre in extent. Yet the claim for it was en- tered in the land office at Gainesville, and the owner paid five dollars for the fee and 37 cents for the land. He makes as the island is right in the path of green and loggerhead turtles coming into the lake from the ocean to feed, and there he catches them.

An Indiana Man Who Was Unfortunate
 in All He Undertook.
 Lanson Sunny, of Clunnette, who recently died. during his life was sin gularly afflicted man. Twenty years ago, says a Kendallville letter to the Fort Wayne Gazette, he was prostrated with heart trouble, eventually recov- ering. Afterward, while felling tim Der, a. tree caught and crushed his leg, breaking the bone eight times be- tween the knee and ankle. This left him, after a long disablement, only partially recovered. While hauling logs a splinter struck him in the eye, injuring that member quite severely. A physician was called, who proved to be intoxicated, and who left a caustic instead of lotion to be applied to the hurt. The caustic destroyed the eye entirely.
 Still later on he was the victim of an accident which left him badly ruptured. and in 1884 his collar bone was badly fractured, and the readjustment was so imperfect that it had to be broken three times before it would properly reunite. Then, again, he attempted to assist in raising barn, and glanc ing blow from an ax wielded by work man struck him in the back, again sending him to bed for months. Then he was seized with sciatic rheumatism because of which his sufferings were terrible, and scarcely was he convales- cent before he was afflicted with ca tarrh of the hand, laying him up the en- tire season and resulting in the loss of part of one thumb. Mir. Sunny to general expectation.
