to Meet.
The Catholic Library Association ball
team has arranged with the Washington
club for two games this week for Friday
and Saturday. The Washington team is
strong ne and the Library boys will
have to put up their best men to win.
They feel sore over their defeat at the
hands OF Augusta and Charleston recently,
which is accounted for by the strong bat
teres they had to oppose.
Short, who pitched against the Library
boys in Augusta in their last game, is
now playing professional ball with At
lanta, and shut out the Mobiles last Sat
urday without a run, only three hits be-
. ing made against him.
. Twell and Strickland will do the twirl-
ing for the Library boys and Schreck, of
the old timers, will fill in as back stop.
This should mean good battery work.
ne team will also be strengthened in
other directions

Fruithurst, Oct. 14-(Special Core
spondence.)-Hon.W w. f. Aldrich and
Thomas l.. Harvey, populist nominee for
elector for this district, spoke here last
night to crowd of about 125, including
women and children.
Colonel Aldrich kinder straddled" the
financial question, as he thought free sill
yer talk would not do here. His main
theme was high tariff and reciprc city.
Mr. Harvey was in a very peculiar atti-
tude, speaking for a republican for con-
gress and for Bryan and Watson. He
said if Watson cornes down the populi. Is
would have no one to vote for, as they
could not swallow Bryan unless he is
creased with Watson. He also censured
the democratic party for repeating the
Infamous force election bill He said that
bill was the only thing that had ever
promised the people of Alabama any free
dom in elections. He seemed to regret
that we could not have federal soldiers to
boss our elections. His chief subject was
fraud in elections He said that he would
vote for republican in preference to a
democrat.
Fruithurst is to have q new church in
the near future which will be a credit to
the people here.
Contracts have been let recently for
several dwellings,, which will soon be
erected and ready for use.

Guntersville, Oct 14--(Special Core
spondence.)- horrible death was that
of the 10-months' old baby girl of Mr.
and Mrs. j. II. Tillman Of the Thomas NJ
Patteson neighborhood. 1t was crawling
about on the floor while its mother was
attending the cows, and. crawling too
close to the open fireplace, its dress
caught fire and burned the poor child
terribly. The back and head were almost
cooked, and the sufferings of the babe
We're excruciating till death came to It's
relief at O'clock the same afternoon.
O. d. Williams of Browns valley was
in the city the other day. He came to
Marshall county in 1898, one year after
the Cherokee Indians had been removed
to their territory. Only a few of those
then living in Marshall are now living
In the Oleander country, where Mr. VIII
liams first settled, are now living only
Thomas Couch, Pat A. Barnard and Jo-
seph Black, of those who we've men of
families in 1888. 1t is interesting to hear
Mr.. Williams talk of early days, espe-
cially of the years when the river was
covered regularly between Chattanooga
and Decatur by wood burning steam
boats, which carried the mails in the days
before Alabama had railroads.
John II. West has gathered a consid-
