day for the purpose of decorating the graves of the northern and southern sol diers buried there, seemed the first ap- propriate number in the programme to follow. Hundreds of citizens had gath cred at the cemetery, and at the request of U. s. Grant post, Grand Army of the Republic, Camp Horace King No 476, United Confederate Veterans, joined them in observing national Decoration day. Besides an abundance of other beautiful flowers great hamper of snowy water lilies had been provided from Swan lake to be used in the deeora- tion ceremonies.
 Commander Bethard of U. s. Grant post was in charge of the programme. The invocation was made by Rev. F. w. Spalding, D. D., of St. Johns Protestant Episcopal church. Beautiful music was rendered by a chorus formed of members from several city choirs. Mayor G. A. Ruff of New Decatur, c. A. Bascott and R. H. Allison of the Grand Army of the Republic organization, and R. H. Adams and County Solicitor s. P. Rather of the United Confederate Veterans, delivered addresses full of tenderness and pathos. The hundreds of willing hands partici- pated in strewing flowers alike upon the graves of the northern and the southern soldier This is the second time that both of the veteran organizations of the Decaturs have jointly participated in decorating the national graves.

Captain Crooks Speech at Childersb'

Captain Crooks Speech at Childersburg
 Resulted Tn Several Converts.
 Childersburg, May 90.-(Special Corre- spondence) )-This has been an exceeding ly gratifying day to the democracy of Childersburg. Captain Crook, by ap- pointment, came down from Jacksonville on the evening southbound train of the Southern, and proceeded to the hall ap- pointed for speaking, followed by good crowd of the best people of Childersburg and vicinity, being composed of both old time democrats and popuLsts. In an un- answerable and conclusive argument, de- livered in an eloquent and moving style, he held the riveted attention of his hear CTS for about one hour and half. He was generously applauded by both demo- crats and populites, and at the conclusion of his speech the audience crowded around him to thank him and assure him that he had done great good for the cause of democracy and white supremacy in Talladega.
 Populites who have been intolerant in the past, declinging to even listen to a democratic speaker, gave Captain Crook the closest attention, and several boldly said that they could not follow the lead of A. T. Goodwin into the republican camp.
 Captain Crook, although equal to the occasion, was very much indsposed, hav- ing left a sick bed to fill his appointment, and at The close of his speech retired for rest to the delightful home of his kins- man, MT. John A. Nichols. It Is to be hoped he wtJl soon be himself again and be able to continue the good work.

TWO PECULIAR DEATHS Painters at Longview Drink Two
 Much Wood Alcohol AND EXPIRE IN AGONY A Jury EmpaneIed to Inquire Into the DepIora- ble Affair Returns That Verdict-Gen-
 eral State News

Scale, June 1.-(Special)-A very sud- den and surprising event has shocked the Longview neighborhood-the death of two painters, which occurred there at the home of MT. Ben T. Perry on Fri day. The two men were tramp" paint CTS and had been working about~in the neighborhood painting houses, and were painting MT. Perry's new house when taken sick with what was supposed to be painters eolie." They were attack ed on Thursday evening or night, suf- fering severely, but were not considered i'll. Next morning both were better and at dinner time Garvin said he was all right, but he grew violently worse and died about D. m. The other man, John Brtton from Girard, Ala, was much better at breakfast Thursday morning, but he, too, got worse and died about o'clock that night. Dr. w. B. Prather Of Scale was sent for to attend the sick men, but nothing availed to save them. There was good cause for believing that these men died from drinking too freely of wood alcohol" which painters use in their business, but to determine the matter MT. Perry summoned the coroner to hold an inquest. Justice Tucker call ed jury, which gave a verdict of "death from drinking wood alcohol.''
 H. A. Garvin has relatives in Atlanta, who were informed of his death and di- rected the body sent there by train, which was done.
 John Britton has family of two chil- dren at Girard, his wife being dead. His relatives there carried the body by pri- vate conveyance from MT. Perrys to that place for burial Saturday morning.
 MT. Perry is farmer of high h-standing in this community, and all that he and family could do was done for these un- fortunate strangers within his gates. They are shocked and distressed beyond expression at this unhappy event and have the sympathy of the entire com munity.

Crops in Barbour.
Eufaula Tines.

EufauIa TImeS.F
 The oat crop has been generally very poor, and especially is this true of the spring sowing ... The cotton crop is in an ideal condition wherever it has been worked properly, and the season has been so exceptional that there is no excuse for anything but a clean, nice crop And the cotton is not only clean and nice, but ideal, speaking generally. In some sec- tions however, 1t Is small because of the lack of rain. The corn crop is not gen. orally, we think, very good We hear complaints about it.. ..As to fruit, it is spotted. The pear crop is almost an ab- solute failure, and all the pear trees are blighting very materially. The peach crop right about Eufaula is almost a failure. In and about Cuthbert this crop will be short, and In some sections very few peaches will be gathered. In other places we hear the crop will be good.

a Week-Potato Crop Short.
 Scale, June 1.-(Special)-A family highly esteemed here are in great distress at the death of two lovely little children in less than a week. Mrs. Carry Rhodes, who is visiting her parents, Col. and Mrs. Lyman Martin at Villula, lost a lovely little girl about ten days ago, and then on the Sunday following the little baby boy of MT and Mrs. Henry Martin died both these loved and petted chil- dren being the grandchildren of Colonel Martin.
 The Scale high school was closed for the summer on Friday.
 It has rained enough to keep alive the vegetables at last, but they were in bad way when the rain did come. The Irish potato crop is almost a complete s ilure. Some persons have pulled up the vines, finding no tubers at all, and are using the ground for other things AL most everything in the vegetable line suffered. Oats are not doing we'll many too low to cut. For a wonder, though, things look green and fresh, except some very tender plants. Onions made only about half a crop.
