RAILWAY FOLKS AND FACTS.

Beginning Monday the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company will put on a double service between this city and Blocton The change will be hailed with delight at both ends of the line, inas- much as the citizens of Blocton will be better facilitated for coming here to trade, and the merchants here will nat urally be benefited thereby
 The change of service will be made in this way: The trains going to Blocton will continue from that point to Tocoa, on the main line Tocoa is this side of Helena and is the junction of the Mineral and the main line.
 The schedules will be as follows:
 Train No. 40, on the Mineral, now leav- ing Blocton at 2. a. m., arriving in Bir- mingham at 9:30 a. m., will leave Tacoa m. This train will be met at Tocoa by the Montgomery accommodation train leaving Birmingham at 5:30 o'clock. Thus business man wishing to go to Blocton in the morning can leave here at 5:S0 o'clock over the Louisville and Nashville and arrive at Blocton at a. m. The Blocton train, No. 43, leaving here at 3:15 D. m., will arrive at Blocton at 5:47 and at Tocoa at 648 D. m., making connection with the Montgomery accom- mediation, which arrives here at 7:SO o'clock in the evening.
 5, Dor Day, will be made memorable by the people living along the Mineral, as it is expected that an immense crowd will be here on that day from Blocton and way stations.

SELMA.
Impudent Negro Boys Annoy White Girls
 The Cotton Factory.

Selma, Sept. 4.-(Special Correspond ence. .)-Insolent negro boys lately have fallen into the practice of chasing un- protected little white girls. If any of the black rascals are caught they will be made to smart.
 Bills of lading for some of the machin- cry for the cotton factory have been re- ceved. But for the delay in the selec- tion of glass the building would have been finished according to contract on September 1.
 A lovely young lady of Selma was seen to ride along the streets on her wheel reading a novel and looked as much in- terested as If she had been sitting in her boudoir in an easy rocking chair.
 The cotton year of 1S95-6 ended August S1. During the cotton year from Sep tember 1, 1884, to September 1, 1895, Selma received 91 ,779 bales. For the year end- ing September 1 we received only 65,2O9 bales, which is 26,570 bales short of the receipts of the previous year. During the month of August Selma received 56O2 bales, which Is nearly 5000 more than she received in the month of August, 1895. At one time it looked like the cotton re- ceipts of 1S96-7 would be 100000 bales, but conservative men now place it at about the same as the receipts of the year just ended, 65,000 bales
 The scenery in the Academy of Music is being overhauled.

He succeeded in cutting Owens in three places. The left tube of his lung is cut While he is in a bad condition, his wounds are not considered necessarily dangerous, unless some new trouble develops.
 MT. Owens was carried to the Neal ho- tel, where his wounds were dressed. He has the most watchful care and atten- tion His father or the doctor is by his side all the time. It Is, saying the least. very sad affair.

Sixty first Annual Session of the Union
 Baptist Association.

Baptist Association.
 Kennedy, Sept. 3.-(Special Corre- spondence Jour little town has present. ed quite lively appearance for the past few days, being crowded with delegates and visitors who are attending the sixty first annual session of the Union Bap- list association. Never before has our church had such overfiowing congrega- tions standing room being al premium.
 This Union Baptist association is d large and influential body, composed of churches from Pickens, Lamar, Greene and Tuskaloosa counties. It has con- stituency of about 2000 communicants, who are alive to the objects fostered by the denomination in Alabama.
 The session opened Tuesday morning promptly at 9 o'clock, with w. J. Rob- ertson of Carrollton moderator and FL der M. G. Loftin clerk, and continued three days, having two sessions daily and it is hard to determine which was most interesting.
 At one session foreign and home mis- sions were discussed, and ably discussed too. Dr. w. c. Bledsoe, secretary of the state mission board, gave an interesting and instructive talk on the subject, as also did w. J. Robertson of Carrolton.
 At another time the subject of higher ministerial education was brought up and Elder Small of Carrollton gave us some strong. sensible ideas under that Heau. ms HlOTIllHS teInpeTdHCe was the chief topic of interest, and it also was ably handled by all who spoke.
 Our people, regardless of denomination, vied with each other in their efforts to entertain their Baptist visitors and on all sides are heard expressions of satis- faction and appreciation from the dele- gates at the reception given them.
 Dr. w. c. Bledsoe filled the pulpit on Wednesday night and made a very fa- vorable impression indeed. We only hope that by some good fortune we will in the near future have him with us again.
 The sessions close this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, and it is with genuine regret that we bid goodbye to the many who have been with us for the past few days

"A Mother in Isreal" at Rest.

How cften are we reminded that
Sin life we are in the midst of death"
The cold breath of death falls upon
this friend and the lfe giving cur
rent is frozen in it's channels; the glim
reap lifts high his scythe and Father
Time gathers this neighbor ard that
into his garner, and we are con-
strained to pause and enquire who
next?
About monht ago Mrs. Lucretia,
the beloved wife of Mr.. G A. G, cd Ain
was happy in performing her house
hold duties; not one of that happy
family circle saw the dark shadow OF
the angel of death as it's wings over
shadowed tie peaceful home Of our
friend ard fellow citizen; nor did one
of them realize how soon the house
Of gladness and sunshine was to be
turned into mourning and darkness
and sadness. In tie active discharge
of her wifely duties, Mrs. Goodwin
was laid low by stroke Of paralysis,
from which she never rallied, and in
about three weeks death claimel its
victim and the immortal soul entered
the land of never ending day to drink
Of tie waters Of everlasting life
"which flows by the throne Of God,
Having given her hand to the visible
church and having her name inscrlbe
upon the Lambs Book of Life, she
meekly followed in the footsteps of
Jesus, with her lamp trimmed and
burning so that others seeing her
goods were constrained to glorlfy
God. As wife she was trlc, affec-
tionate and lcv;rg: as mother, she
was kind, gentle and forbearing: as
friend and neighbor, she was charlta-
bic and entertaining:-'an I|reallte
indeed in whom there was no guile.
Mrs. Goodwin died last Thursday,
! October lst, 1896, at her home near
! CASTOR after an illness of three
weeks with paralysis; aged about 50
years. Her remains were Inferred
in the cemetery of the Baptist
church Friday, were they will rest
until the resurrection morn.
