DEMOPOLIS.
Eastbound Passenger Train Narrowly
Escapes Serious Wreck

Eastbound Passenger Train Narrowly
Escapes a Serious Wreck.
Demopolis, Dec. Especial Corre-
spondence.)-The eastbound passenger
train had a narrow escape from a bad
wreck and the passengers on it as mar
row one from an awful castrophe last
Sunday night. The train was speeding
along at a high rate when Maj Frank
Donner who had hold of the throttle,
saw a large tree blown across the track.
He Immediately reversed his lever and
put on the brakes, but the speed was so
great that the train could not be stopped
before reaching the obstruction and came
against it with an awful whack, which
sent the passengers all tumbling around
like dice in box, and at the same time
started a series of cold chills racing up
and down their frames, the intensity of
which equalled the temperature of the
weather on the outside. After scrambl1ng
around for a few seconds all made a rush
to see what was the trouble, and found
the engine badly smashed around the
pilot, but in good enough condition to
carry them to their destination. Nothing
but the best of good luck prevented the
derailing of the entire train.
A novel sight was seen at our wharf
yesterdays boat loading with cotton.
1t was the steamer Hard Cash, which
had arrived at a. m. 1t mas Deen months
and months since the river has been high
enough to permit navigation, and so de-
lighted were our people to see 1t resumed
that crowds gathered at the landing to
welcome their old friend, the Hard Cash.
Among the number of smiling faces there
was one which lowered up above the
others, and his clear-cut, Carlisle-like
profile was wreathed in smiles as ripping
and as happy as though Bryan were
president. This was Manager e. B. Kirk
bride, of the Warrior and Bigbee Packet
company of Mobile. He has been sitting
in his office on Commerce street ringing
his hands and sending up incantations
for even heavy dew to fall upon the
parchedl earth every day since the early
spring, but they were of no effect. He
heard of the thousands of bales of the
''feecy staple' lying waiting for his
boats, and nary one of them could get
to- them; thus each day added little
tuft of gray hairs to his Romanesque
Uranium; and one day he heard that Billy
Bryan had gone up the spout; then
wider patch appeared. But when he was
almost bowed down with grief the rain
came, the river rose, the boats got up
stream, he took the first train for De-
mopolis and as he flew around yesterday
experimenting the loading of $500 bales
of cotton he was as happy as winner"
and so were we.

Vernon, Dec. 4.-(Special Correspond
ence But little of interest has trans
pired within the last two weeks in our
community. 80
However, a very unpleasant event has
occurred in our town very recently.
Esquire w. G. Middleton and family have
moved to Sulligent, where they will re-
side in the future, but we hope not per-
manently. They will be greatly missed
here in the social religious and business
an efficient justice of the peace in this
beat for a number of terms, and filled
his office creditably to himself and his
friends
We hope our loss will be their gain.
Our citizens are generally satisfied with
the choice of United States senator in
the person of Hon. e. w. Pettus. l be-
years ago, and his picture Is familiar to
me. Alabama ought to feel proud of
her two senators. gts
1 think cur people are generally In ia
vor of constitutional change, especial
ly in regard to the tenure of office. A
change allowing state officers to hold
Office four years instead of two and one
session of the legislature in four years
would be great saving of money to the
state of Alabama, and give the people
much needed rest from politics.
The cold wave struck us a few days
since, and we have had "hog-killing
time" since. A good many fine hogs have
been slaughtered in Lamar county this
week, and, from what / can learn, /
think our county will be pretty well sup
piled with bread and meat for the next
year. il, 4. 81

BUYS THE THORNTON PLACE.
DR.. Benton, Of California, Has Bought q
Home and Will Move to Birmingham.

Dr. Benton, of California, yesterday
purchased the Thornton place, S14 South
Eighteenth street, and will make Bir-
mingham his home. He formerly lived
here and then moved to California, but
found this section much preferable to
even the Golden Gate. He says the peo-
pie of California boast of their climate,
but it is because of their ignorance
They are generally people who have
moved to California from the east and
they compare the climate of the Pacific
slone to that of the north and east. If
they were familiar with the climate in
central Alabama they would not boast
so much of the California climate. Rev.
Frank Brandon, of Woodlawn, yesterday
purchased the Cullom residence in the
Cullom addition, on Eleventh avenue,
and will move into his new purchase.
Both the foregoing sales Were made by

A LARGE STATIONERY ORDER FOR
BIRMINGHAM,


Last Monday night the court house of
and all the records and papers-an ac-
emulation of seventy years-were de-
stroyed.
A telegram was received by Rogers
Stationery company, 2115 Morris avenue,
from the probate Judge apprising them
of the fact, and Mr.. G. H. Rogers, presi-
dent and manager, Immediately started
for the county seat. The county COM
missioner's court had been called together
and received bids for complete new out
fit.
Rogers Stationery company was award
ed the contract over competitors from
within and without the state. They
were able to furnish the work cheaper
and quicker than any competitor and
were the only house which could fill the
order complete without going outside
their own building.
The Rogers Stationery company deals
exclusively in county supplies, furnish
tionery to every county in the state ex-
cept two. About 500 different forms Of
legal blanks are kept in stock and nearly
200 book forms, besides stock of station
cry and this company could on one hours
notice furnish county completely with
blanks to conduct any sort of county
business.
The order calls for near 200 records and
1000 Quires of legal blanks and full
line Of stationery, but 1t will be filled as
easily as II 1t was for one-twentieth that
amount.
We congratulate the Rogers Stationery
company in being able to land such a
large order In Birmingham.
