That being the case, why should
the people of the city be deprived OF

already low price over % per cent?
1t seems hardly creditable that Il
majority of the council are furnishing

council will not make amy arrange

company abanduns it's contract.

the general public receives more
benefit from this service than from

considering that the farmers busy
season Of haying and harvesting has
lust commenced.
Wheat receipts wele lighter than

crop comes on the market.
The Indications are not very good
for a big crop Of wheat this year.
In some sec tions Of thecOunty wheat
looks well, but on the sandy soil
rust has done great damage. Rain
is needed very badly all over now.

Montgomery, June 19.-(Special.)-Th
republicans in. the national convention
have done just exactly what the majority
of the democrats about here wanted them
to do. Democratic leaders here consider
E thar Mckinley on a gold platform. back
ed up by insincere bids for the prohibit
ton and woman's suffrage support, and
demanding high tariff on everything
that the farmer uses will be beaten easily
by sound democrat on bimetallic plat
form declaring in favor of a tariff for
revenue only, and for wise and econom-
zeal administration of the governments
affairs.
Up to two months ago democrats here
had despaired of their chaces in the ma
tional election this year, and had virtual
ly surrendered. Most of the metropolitan
newspapers had told them the silver
craze was dead-the Advertiser insisted
1T was-and even the best democratic
fighters about here were prepared to sur
render on demand.
Captain Johnston's splendid victory in
the state came along in due time, how
ever, and was followed in quick success
sion by similar conquests for silver in
other states which had been reported to
be In favor of the gold standard, and
the courage of the party workers COM
menced to revive, and when It became APP
parent that the Chicago convention
would nominate a bimetallist for presi-
dent democrats here commenced to see
strong indications of victory in Novem-
Der. Their only fear was that Mckin-
ley, who was apparently intent on trim
ming, would be nominated on other than
a sound money platform, but now that
the ST. Louis convention has placed the
Ohioan on a strictly gold standard, con-
traction, high tariff, hard times platform
they are delighted and feel confident Of
victory in the fall.

Mild Type of Sickness Prevalent-Lumb Der

Marion, June 19.-(Special.) -Some
sickness though not of a serious charac-
ter, is reported in Marion and the sur
rounding country.
Mr.. James p. larry, formerly of Ham,
burg, this county but now located as
agent of the Southern railroad at
Coatopa, will remove his family today
to the latter place. =
Marion has been very dull since the
commencement season and the depart
ure Of all the girls and boys. But the
boys will liven up things after a while,
when the political campaign fairly opens.
The corn crop has improved some dur
ing the past two weeks, but 1t Is still far
from being good. The cotton crop is
generally clean and promising.
A little son of Mr.. George larry fell
from tree yesterday and severely cut
himself on the sharp points of the paling
fence upon which he lodged.
We are duly grateful to the republican
party for having formulated its gold
standard platform The democrats will
now proceed to demand a genuine BIZ
metallic currency--the free coinage of
both gold and silver--and will sweep
the country.
Lumber Is now being sawed above here
and RATED down the Cahaba river to a
point east of Marion and sold at 35 cents
per hundred. This Is the cheapest lum-
Der ever sold in the market.
