THE GARRETT CHATTER.

I don't hear the young folks patter
like they used to long ago
Up the stairs to raise u clatter
Underneath the rafters low.
What's the reason things is stiller
Since the young folks went away ~.
John an Joe an sweet Permiller!
Looks as il they'd gone to stay.
Wife. there hain't no sunshine yushin'
In the way it used to come:
IT only seems as IL the pushin'
Shaders was a-comin' hum.
Sortcr quietlike an dreary,
Only us two here alone;
Jist the days seem drasgin' weary
Like long an dismal moan.
In the garnet things is quiet;
Mice an spiders has their way
Where the youngsters used to riot
In their childish pranks an play.
Sweet Permiller used 10 tag 'em,
Joe an John in corners dark,
An the maiden used to flag 'em.
Tire EN- out au' raise lark.
When the bumblebees was droonin'
An the flowers was in bloom.
An the lilac bush was ErOanin'
With the scent of its perfume,
Then the young folks used TO pattcr
Up the stairs along ago
Up the stairs TO raise clatter
Underneath the raftcrs low.
Seems to me I'm sometimes dreamin'
or the things that used to be,
Till the old life comes a-streamiu'
Back ag'in 10 you an me.
Then hear the young folks pattcr
Up the stairs they used to go,
There to raise a garnet clatter
Underneath the rafters low.

The Half Mile Race Track Made the
 Best in All Alabama.

The Half Mile Race Track Made the
 Best in All Alabama.
 Florence, Jan. 7.--(SpeciaI Correspond ence)-Florepce can now boast of the finest half mile track in Alabama.
 The track has been put in first-class shape by MT. John Smith, who turned the track over Saturday, after two weeks hard work, grading and banking the turns. The turns are now safely banked for speedy work, and are perfect for horsemen and wheelmen. s--,--ts-
 The big rise on the side opposite the grand stand has been graded to a dead level, and makes a pretty straight-a-way course. The high banks on the inside of the turns have been cut down and the grand stand gives fine view of the track from start to finish. Horsemen and whealmen are both enthusiastic over the improvements, which means much for the future success of the association. In this connection 1t might be mentioned that the association has paid every cent of it's '96 premiums. dollar for dollar, as offered in the catalogue. The associa- ton has built stables and added many expensive improvements the past year, and in the face of these expenditures, has been able to reduce the floating debt $100 over the previous year. The associa- tion owes very little money now, and issin. a position to accomplish big things this year. The directors will begin can1- paigning early for the fall fair, and will make it a magnificent success Now. that the annual fair is permanent in sttution it will grow from year to year.

 Evergreen. Ala, Jan. s.-(Special Corre- spondence.)-T agreeable change to cold and bracing weather is greatly en- joyed by the inhabitants of this beauti ful little city So accustomed to the balmy air of spring and the genial rays of a summers sunshine that is ever tenn pered by the balmy breezes from the Mexic gulf. What it is to the many vis- itorsfrom the frozen climes of the more northern and northwestern states, or 10 the weary traveller lon the wing who stops over here for a few days of rest and recreation at one of the magnificent hotels, that are the pride and adornment of this progressive town, may beebetters imagined than described.
 Chancery court is now in session, Chan-- cellor Williams, of Clayton, presiding, and quite an array of legal talent. in addi-- tion to the local bar, than which there Is none more able within the borders of Alabama. or any other southern or north ern state, are in attendance upon the court. Several important cases are on the docket, many of them involving large amounts that have been invested in real estate and fine pine timber and it is very evident that the lawyers will not be alone in reaping rich harvest in this highiy-favored portion of Alabama--'in the sweet bye and bye" A hint to the wise is sufficient.
 The tide of immigration from the north western states and from the black belt, and even from some of the more remote counties of North Alabama and from Georgia, is rapidly settling in this direc- ii, and the former waste places in this garden spot of the world, are being rap idly dotted with handsome residences, orchards and vineyards, and saw mills and furniture factories. Crossties, oak slaves. bridge timbers and many other evidences of thrift and enterprise along the side of the tracks of the gerat Louis vile and Nashville. and the large and oommodious storehouses still filled with cotton, furniture, and wagons, buggies, etc, for which the merchants have no room for storage, all attest that Ever green is mo mean city" but is destined soon to be the equal of Troy. and Albany, and Thomasville and Valdosta and even Tampa-the gem of Florida. While not a sea side resort, there are plans and spe- cifications on foot to rival Birmingham with its magnificent East Lake and beau- tiful Lakeview, and to make this not only city of schools and colleges with @ home for orphans second to none in the state, but also to make of it a large. man. ufacturing center for all articles into which long leaf pine, cypress. magnolia, holly, poplar and the various hardwoods so abundant in this section can and shall be converted at no distant day. ..#
