AN eXPECT0RATING BABE.
Rev. and Mrs. Hargett, of WoodIawn, Furnish
 Prodigy to the World.

There is a little toddler at Woodlawn It is Alabamas prodigy. Just two months ago an infant was born to Rev. and Mrs. H. L. Hargett, who formerly lived at Rus sellville.
 It's advent was hailed with joy and now it is looked on with wonder. The parents stand back in ecstatic amazement as the youngster walks across the room with steadier boise than that with which Mark Hanna first started for the senatorial "lnm. It laughs and coos and the by islanders howl with laughter when it stops. surveys its surroundings and expectorates with as much sang froid as a ruralte sit ting pine box discussing politics. The only marvel is that the linguist's power has not yet been imparted to the kid" It has not predicted the dissolution of the earth.
 The baby that predicts the end of the world has become proverbiaI They come just as regular as Christmas.
 The democrats of Georgia have hardly ceased to gossip over an infantine prodigy that is a little ominous when the success of the party is considered. It has not been long since a baby was born in the cracker state with a Pefferonian growth of whis- kers. It is said that the babe strokes its whiskers with the wisdom of a sage and has shown no populistic tendencies as yet
 Mississippi is noted for many things and it also has wonderful baby. A young couple were blessed with a baby near Mo- Comb City.

WITH GROWING IF COCKS The Annual Poultry Exhibition Is
 UShered In. THE HANDSOME SPECIMENS Of the Fanciers Taste Make Pleasing Show Chickens of All Species Being Re-
 ceVed-0penng This Moroing.
THE HANDSOME SPECIMENS

To the unintiated who chanced to be passing along First avenue, between Twen- ieth and Twenty-first streets, last night, it would have seemed that grand demo- cratic victory was being celebrated, so realistic was the thrill clarion of the pro- verbal rooster. But this was not the case. It was only the vanguard of the third an- nual exhibition of the Alabama Poultry, Pigeon and Pet Stock association, which opens this morning at o'clock.
 Many magnificent specimens of the fan ciers pride have been entered, and others will come in during the day.
 About 800 birds had been received up to last night, and it is thought as many more will yet arrive.
 Almost every species of fancy poultry will be exhibition, and a visit to the exhi- bition will prove both interesting and in- structive.
 The following classes are represented by beautiful specimens: Barred, buff and white Plymouth Rock; silver, golden and white Nyandottes; buff and black Wyandottes; American Dominiques; black and white Ja- vas light and dark Brahmas; buff Cochins; partridge Cochns; white Cochins; black 0OCninS, Dldch 1aHBSndiiS, WiieO laho shans; brown, white, dominique and buff Leghorns; black and white Minorcas; black Spanish; Indian and Pit games; Muscovy ducks; Ring doves; and many others.
 Two coops of Hopkinson War Horse Pit games bred by Wallace Day of this city, are on exhibition. and look the sturdy war riors they are.
 The score will be made by the following standard
 "The American standard of perfection will be the guide of the judge, and all birds shall be scored, and in no case will pre- mium be awarded where the specimen does not reach the following scale of points: First premium birds must score not less than 90 points; second premium birds must score not less than SS points; third premium birds must score not less than S5 points.
 "The premiums of the association will be first, second and third on cock, cockerel, hen. bullet and breeding pen, in each va riety, and will be designated as follows:
 First premium, blue satin badge; second premium, red satin badge; third premium, yellow satin badge; special premium, white satin badge.'
 Many magnificent premiums have been offered by the merchants and fanciers of the city.
 James Lindsay, of Montgomery, old and enthusiastic fancier is superintendent of the exhibition.
 The following are the officers of the as- sociation: E. J. McCrossin, president; Wm. Vaughn, first vice-president, R. V. Goss, second vice-president; Mrs H. J. McCaff- erty third vice-president H. J. McCaffer- ty, secretary; w. G. Estes, treasurer; Lor- ing Brown, judge.

Obituary.

"a tribute to the memory of Lucian wootton. }
The loved and loving son, brother
and friend, died when boyhood's
days were yet vivid in his memory.
Like the tender rose that modestly
buds and holds concealed in its
graceful petals untold sweetness, then
perchance at the north winds breath
to wither aud decay. So early in the
morning Of his life, just in the sunni.
est, happiest hour of all the day when
the sun in tenderness battles the
forebeads of distant hills and with
its gentle rays kisses iuto life the
blushing mornings glory, rich with
dewy fragrance. When each little
bird nestled meath it's mothers bosom
carroled forth its little song of sweet
contentment o precious jewel and
all creatures both great and small
slipped at the nectar which dubbed
from natures own dear heart, and at
the dawning of manhood's golden
day he fell asleep in the arms If
death. Could we but fathom the
abyss of darkness and see beyond the
sombre shades of night that curtain
US from the awful mysteries of death,
all would be plain to us, we would
then know-perchance why death
should claim for its own, the happi-
est, tenderest children of all the
earth, but alas! alas! we cannot look
into the pages OF mystery and discern
His everlasting will, but;
Fear notye waiting hearts that weep
God still giveth his beloved sleep ''
Lucian's spirit was tevder one; no
son could have been to parents more
loving, no brother to brother more

give Cleveland his necessary COS
votes, this explains his position:
However timely the suggestion
may be, and however eminently pro.
per such a performance would be,
there are two Very strong reasons for
declining the meeting. In the first
place the gold standard times have SO
materially reduced the thickness of
our pants that a contest Of the char
acter suggested would likely be any
thing but amusing; and in the sec
ond place, when we call to mind the
great advantage Bro. Meacham would
have in point of leverage, we are
convinced the meeting would be any
thing but mutual. However griev.
Gus the offense may be, brother, we
are not prepared to accept capital
punishment for the modest part we
played in that memorial convention. /"
