Buckley Is Advocating Tom Clark's Elec-
 tion-A Reminiscence.
 Troy, Oct. 2S.---(Special Correspond ence.)--C. w. Buckley of Montgomery spoke here yesterday. He made the bur- den of his speech that his friends, the negroes, should vote for Thomas H. Clark for congress. MT. Ckark's name is on the republican ticket sent out to the negroes and other republicans, together with the republican electors, in which number are three negroes. Buckley said he was proud that he could quote from the Montgomery Advertiser, and that he was glad he was an humble follower of such great men as Hilary A. Herbert, Thomas G. Jones and other men who had come over on the republican platform. IIe urged the negroes to stand side by side with these, the gold standard white men, in the election of Clark to congress- He extended to the gold standard men warm welcome over into his side--the re- publican party. He was cheered long and loud by those who were with him in sentiment, and hoped they were marching on to republican victory. He stated that he was the same old republican, standing on the same old platform on which he had been for the past thirty years.
 Our people remember the time many years ago when this same man, then by our people called a scalawag, made a speech here, and the people came near mobbing him. He was taken to certain law office by some of the cooler heads and saved. Could you believe that the very

 Dolomite, Oct. 29.-(Special Correspon- dence.)-The citizens of Dolomite turned out last night en masse to hear the joint discussion on the political issues of the day. The large public hall was well filled with a few standing.
 Prof. John Burgin presided over the meeting and introduced the speakers.
 The first speaker was Hon. Felix 10. Blackburn, who delivered one of his forceful and characteristic speeches. His presentations of the questions were clear and concise.
 Hon. Graves Embry followed in a speech of an hour advocating Mckinley and Hobart and the gold standard. and, while he handled his side well, his au- dience was very limited in applause.
 Hon. Joseph IT. Montgomery and Con- gressman oscar w. Underwood were the next speakers, both carrying the crwod with them on every proposition. The au- dience went wild with enthusiasm at the mention of Bryan's name.
 MT. Underwood ran his stock up consid- erably by his strong and logical speech. Put this place down for Bryan, Sewall and Underwood by g. large majority.

Cap- tain Porterfield told her all right. that he had the man. and if he was willing she needed only license and minister to fix up the matter. These requisites were promptly provided, when the groom-to-be was conducted from his cell across the hall into the marshars office. where the two were made one by Rev. c. M. John- son, colored. The ceremony having been finished at the suggestion of the captain, the groom saluted his bride and was re- turned to his cell, and the bride went her way apparently contented and happy.

Some of the Fruits of the Great Revival
 Town Changed.
 Dadeville, Oct. 29.-(Special Correspon- dence.) 1.-The great meeting at the Metho- dist Episcopal church closed recently Rev. MT. Davis, the pastor, reported thir- ty-three new members to this church at the fourth quarterly meeting. We have never had such a meeting in Dadeville before. MT. Davis reported 100 conver- sions on his own work for the year. We now have every class of people at work in the Methodist church, while the church is taxed at each preaching service to hold the people. If many coming up is true test of spirituality we are all right.
 What a change has come over our beau- tiful little city. Men who were great sim ners a short time since now pray in pub lie. Dadeville is now in fine shape.
 We have lost one of our best men in the death of Rev. L. M. Wilson. Brother Wilson was great man from any stand point. A great old man he was. How we will miss him.
