Well, guess won't go in the direc- tdon of cullman any more until the quar- antine Is raised" said a gentleman who had just returned from that city.
 q hadn't besn in the town more than twenty minutes before the news spread that I was from Birmingham The mayor and city marshal called on me and stated that I would be carried to little hut several miles in the woods and quar- antined.
 'I protested against this and the mayor placed me under bond to appear in court next morning. By this time the matter became noised about and everybody gave me a wide berth
 The charge said the judge, is smallpox; the gentleman Is fined $5
 T wouldn't pay the fine and the mar shal escorted me to the city prison
 What's the matter asked the jailor. Smallpox was the reply. I wasn't placed in this jail. Next was taken to the county jail, where like performance was enacted. I proposed to return to Birmingham if they would furnish me a ticket. They jumped at this suggestion and shipped me out of town. Before leaving was vaccinated and during the excitement they seriously considered having my dog vaecinated"
 w. C.. Kidder, a lumber dealer of New Orleans, stopped over in this city yesterday on his way home from the east. MT. Kidder was asked what effect the Mckinley tariff bin would have on the lumber trade.
 If it were not for Canada" answered the gentleman, ''we would not be affected in the least Lumber is not one of the imports of this country, but purely an export. If there was hardwood indus try in the United States, Central America would cut a wide swath in this trade. Canada, however, sends into the northern section of the United States tremend- ous quantity of lumber. This practically destroys the home market of the north ern lumberman and he must find mar ket further south. This in turn crowds
  ful field. The new tariff increase will make competition very disagreeable to the Canadians, and this will naturally force healthier condition among the lumbermen of the United States
 "That was a corking good mill" said a lover of the manly art, in speaking of the Galiagher-Geier fight. "This affair brings back the terrific Sullivan Kilrain battle. Of course the fights were dis similar, but both were in open air, under a broiling sun and long drawnout. We'll do I remember a funny incident that oc- cured during the fight. A large party of old timers and myself rode an excursion train from New Orleans to the ring side. We knew that it would be next to impossible to get anything to eat at the ring side. So we provided about dozen enormous sacks of pies, sandwiches and other eatables to carry with us. We had them upon tier of improvised seats just in front of our party. During the fight three detectives got on to some
  ed two of them They were brought next to our party and seated. At an exciting point in the fight the crowd made break and threw the seats on which we had placed our provisions down. Pies, sand wiches and cakes were rolling in every direction, and the scramble for them was amusing
 
 On the midnight Louisville and Nash vile train last night was man about 50 years of age. He hailed from Florida, the land of orange blossoms, and was bound for far-away Alaska, in search of wealth. His name was Linnehan, and he had kindly face, yet one apparently furrowed deeply by bitter experience in the battle with the world.
 ''Yes, I am going to the Klondyke re- gions," said MT. Linnehan. Tt may be an unwise move, but I have already made and lost three fortunes in my time, and now I intend making an effort for the third one in Alaska"
 MT. Lnnehan will not search for gold, but will speculate in provisions and oth- CT necessities of life. From his appear ances it would not be judged that MT. Linnehan's mind was filled with such hair brain schemes of speculations.
