AN IDEAL SUMMER TRIP.

Along the pleasant pastoral scenes,
passing the busy enterprising cities and
through the great oil fields of the Buckeye
state, the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day.
ton railways superb trains make their
way to the ports of the great lakes.
So pleasant is the ride that Toledo is
reached before fatigue is thought of.
The roadbed Is smooth, the time is fast
and the substantial equipment, together
with the elegance of service, makes 1t
pleasure to travel on this line. Four
through express trains leave Cincinnati
daily for Toledo and Detroit, morning,
noon and night" AT either of these ports
the passengers can embark on the palatial
steamers of the Detroit and Cleveland
Steam Navigation company for sail on
the summer seas to Mackinac Island.
These steamers are commodious side
wheel, steel ships of the latest model,
with every convenience for the comfort
and pleasure of the tourist The prone
made decks are roomy, the salon and
state rooms are perfect in their appoint
ments, the table is furnished with the
choicest that the northern markets afford,
to say nothing of the numerous dishes of
fish which the chefs of the Detroit and
Cleveland steamers alone know how 10
prepare. If the passenger boards the
steamer at Toledo the sail along the west
shore of Lake Erie and up the Detroit
river will be found very interesting.
From Detroit the course is across Lake
ST. Clair and through the st. Clair flats,
that famous fishing region, until Port
Huron is reached where Huronia Beach
passengers go ashore. Then the sai1 on
Lake Huron begins. The steamer keep

Nothing could more beautifully Illus
trate the strong and faithful tie between
Masons than did the conduct of that or
der in connection with the burial of the
late lamented brother, John Walter
Campbell. He died suddenly in Noun
tain Home, Idaho. All about him were
strangers, but the brotherhood saw that
his remains were properly prepared to
take the long trip to the home of the ia
Their and other loved ones, then selected
a proper escort to accompany the re-
mains on their long journey. The master
of the Mountain Home lodge telegraphed
to the master of the Tuskegee lodge to
receive the body and give it Masonic
burial. On Saturday the sorrowing ones
with the body reached Tuskegee under
escort of Rev. Mr. Mcpherson. Loving
ones, Masonic and knights of Pythias
brethren and friends, met the remains
and tenderly bore them to the parental
roof. Here at 4 p. M, after a brief re-
ligious service by Rev. Mr. Martindale,
the Masons took charge of the body and
buried il according to their beautiful and
impressive ceremony. At the conclusion
of their services the Knights of Pythias
completed the mound. Thus is exempli-
fed anew the fact that these orders are
careful for a brothers comfort during
life and tenderly regardful of his remains
after death

One of the most persistent democratic
workers at this time is Chairman Sydney
]. Bowie Of Talladega. Mr.. Bowie, while
young man, has already earned high
reputation at the bar as one of the ablest
young lawyers in Alabama, and has also
developed into a political leader that has
placed him in the fore front.
Mr.. Bowie was born on the 26th of July,
1865, studied law in the office of Hefiin,
Bowden & Knox for about twelve months
and then went to the law department of
the university, where he graduated in
June, 1885, Since that time he has been
living in TalIadega practicing law In
October, 1886, he formed a partnership
with John B. Knox, which has continued
ever since. He was elected city clerk of
Talladega in 1885, which he held for
twelve months and resigned. He has
been a member of the state executive
committee since 1884 and was recently
elected chairman of the Talladega county
executive committee. He was. married
on the goth day of April 1891. to Miss
Annie F. Etheridge of Oca1a, Fla Has
devoted himself almost exclusively to
the practice of law and has never had or
desired any political office. His practice
has been successful and remuneratives

When asked day or two since what
he would advise. should the democratic
party declare unequivocally for silver,
Senator Teller promptly replied:
Il would advise all the silver forces to
support it, for, that, is the only way we
can win. We must meet the enemy with
a solid front. l believe that If the silver
forces unite and there is a genuine silver
ticket in the field on straight silver

to ALLEVIATE themselves from the democ-

ever, that any democrat worthy the

apprehend that before the election there
will be found few, very few, who now
even claim to be democrats willing to
desert the party and worship strange
political gods.
Just now there may be found rare cases
of this kind but this is due to disordered

A sPI,ENDID COUNTY, TIoKEr.

The people of Jefferson county are I'M
usually fortunate in the democratic can
didates for local Offices this year. 1t is
a matter of general comment that no
more acceptable ticket, in its entirety,
has ever been presented for the suffrages
of the voters. Each and every democrat
whose name will appear on the ballot is
favorably known to a majority of the
electors as men Of sterling character and
well qualified for the respective offices
for which they have been nominated.
and it is the prime duty of every demo-
crat and, for that matter, of every eiti-
zen who wishes the business affairs of
the county ably and impartlally admin
istered, to rally to the support of the
democratic ticket as whole, and every
democratic candidate on it.

This year comes the republican party
even more frankly~a millionaire party,
| a party of monopoly, than ever before.
Its candidate is unQuestionably an up

ever the dominating form of Hanna.
Who studies the character of Mckinley
must not overlook the character of the
man who nominated Mckinley. Hanna

presSor of la Dor That he Is a millionaire

millions has come no recognized effort for

He is great employer of labor but his
record as an employer is one of constant,
persistent and even virulent antagonism
to the cause of organized labor.
1T will be hard to ask democrats to
vote for Mckinley. 1t will be hard to APP
peal to them to vote for Hobart. The
two republican candidates stand for cor
