WITH THE ALABAMA EDITORS.


 The blackberry season being oyer the editor of the Canebrake Herald makes this arlnounoz zment: Our thanks are due to MT. James Etheridge for a pair of parts stretchers."
 The Ozark Star thinks the examiners very important adjunc.s:
 "The state examiners are earning tn dr salaries, and are very indispensable part of a business administration"
 The press boys are after the Kentucky editor who keeps the following announce mert standing at the head of his columns :
 "A first-class paper, enl.ered as g eond- class mat CT in a thind-cDass poaaoffice."
 Says the Suligent Ligh ming:
 "The corn crop in Lamar county is al most a failure this year. There will not be erough corn to run the farmers through January. But then we can cuss thls new tariff. etc. Especially the etc.
 Thei Southern Home strikes the follow ing key note to real and permanent pros perity:
 "The real advance agent of pros pelity is the farmer with his immense whsat and cotton crops, correctly ob- serves an exchange"
 The Talladega Mountain Home proffers the following advice:
 Waste all the fruit you can, let as much as you can rot in the orchard, throw the rest to the hogs. The tooth- some f1apjacks half moons, puffs and dried fruit rolls that might come your way next winter are too much trouble, and no good anyhow. See?"
 The editor of the Sulhgenig Ligh.nirg, while he makes it practice 10 look on the brigh9 side of things is not altogether ignorant of the troubles the average newspaper man Is heir to:
 ''It is such an easy matter for duck to hatch ou-' a newspaper; but then to raise the duckling, aye, there's the rub"
 The Sumpter Sun throws out this cable tow which is worthy of careful consfdsra- tion just at this time:
 Division in the dsmocuatic party in the south can redound only to the benefit of the republican party in the south and pave the way to negro domination. Gold bug democra ts should reflect on this mat ter ere they forsake the democratic par- ty."
 After looking carefully into the various reports about the smallpox satua ion the citizens of Ozark have come to the fol- lowing veqy sensible conclusion. Says the Ozark Star:
 ''Troy, Dcl.han and other towns on the Midland have quarantinad against Mont- gomery and Birmingham. but Ozark has nCt. There is nl9 uneasiness felt here about the smallpox"
 The up-to-date editor can find com fort and consolation in the midst of a panic or storm, and generally gets the best that is handed around. The Gieen- vile Living Truth remarks:
 'Blackberries are gone and peaches likewise, but the good old cornfieGd pea has come to stay and will be with us till frost. The old Red Rippsr is a gre7t rarity on rainy day. A little "old ned'' makes it go like it was greased.
 The editor of the Living Truth G an opponent of the Hon. Jesse Stallings, anti enters every adversity that occurs, na- tural or otherwise, on his ledger against him and holds him responsible for it. Following is the latest:
 'Mr. l.. D. Turner in digging a we'll few days ago, found a moccasin snake inn bed1ed in the rock fifty feet under the earth thriving and doing well-Andalusia Times.
 Now that's a yarn, and shows the demcralizing effects of sending a man like Jess Stallings to scongress!'
 The Tailadega Mountain Home thinks there is a big difference in the majority sentiment in the state than that expr sS- ed by the Seventh district in the election of Mir. Howard to congress if they think he can bel elected governor:
 Howard denies that he will run for governor. Howar'd is right. He knows there is big difference, polftics fly speaking and otherwise between the Seventh congressional district and the state of Alabama.
 The Ozark Star thinks that Tax Ccllec- tor Lott had as well make his arrange msnts to toe the mark:
 "Tax Collector Lott, of Mobile county, about whom so much has been said in the state papers of late, has been cited to appear before ths governor to show cause why he should not be removed from office. The books in the auditors office show him delinquent to the state in the sum of $17,500. MT. Lott seems to have. been very negligent in the discharge of his duty, but we are very much inclined to the opinion that he will have to toe the mark, and why shouldn't hep
 For all round good citizenship no county i'm the stste excels Daba. They are the progeny of some of the first settlers of tthe state who drove back the wild In- dians. enacted wholesome laws and built churchl.s and school houses and furnished men who helped to make The brightest pages in the history of Alabama. The following, from he Ozark Star. is true expression of the sentiment of the propIe of whom it speaks:
 "Thetpeople of Dale county are opposed to lynching. They favor law and order and fair .rial, by jury"
