Further industrial disturbance
caused by the bicycle is reported by
the New York Tribune, from Great
Britain. 1t has hitherto been ex-
planned how cycling has affected the
horse trade, the book trade, the jew
elry trade and various other lines of
business. Now Yorkshire tells of its
effects upon textile manufactures.
These are two-fold one bad, one
good. The bad came first, and is only
temporary. The good came second,
and will probably prove permanent.
The former was seen in diminution
or purchases. Thousands of women
or their husbands or fathers-had to
choose between bicycles and new
dresses. They chose the former, and
the drygoods trade accordingly suf-
fered. Manufacturers, retailers and
dressmakers all felt the loss of custom,
which was sufficient to make serious
depression in trade. The second effect
has been change of fashion. There
is vastly increased demand for dress
goods suited to bicycling. 1t comes
both from those who can afford special
cycling suits and from those who can
not, for the latter naturally now make
their ordinary street costumes of goods
that will also do for wheeling. The
goods demanded are chiefly those that
are soft, closely woven and lustreless.
The manufacturers who few years
ago were turning out mohairs and other
''lustres" have adapted their works to
the production Of serges and similar
goods, and are now prepared to sup.
ply either class with equal facility.
That is great gain for the Bradford
district. 1t means that manufacturers
will no longer be dependent upon the
vagsries Of fashion. Cycling has come
to stay. aud 70 hs,s its re1'sa,msnts

travel all over the county and keep q
sharp lookout for violators of the
game and fish laws. As Grand Tray
erse county, of which Mrs. Neal has
control, is denscly wooded and has
many lakes, she will be kept very busy
seeking out and bringing to justice
violators of the law.
Mrs. Neal handles n gun like an ex-
pert, rows a boat and is a skillful
woodsman, and she knows every inch
of the territory she has to patrol. In
order to make her way through the
dense growths in the forest land as
easy as possible, Mrs. Neal has adopted
a costume modelled after the much-re-
viled bloomers.
She usually makes trip over the
entire county once week. When
out after the violators of the game
law she rides over the country ON
horseback, and when she comes to q
lake she secures boat, and, with
steady, swift oar, she rapidly covers
her territory made up of water.
She carries rifle on all of these
trips, and woe to the evil doer caught
mapping, for this plucky game warden
is relentless pursuer of all lawbreak-
ers, and she has brought many Of
them to Justice.
During May the state game and fish
warden's department prosecuted 100
alleged violators of the law and con-
victed 96, growing out of 145 COM
plants. This breaks the record for
any previous month in the history Of
the department.. All but three of the
convictions were obtained for viola
tion of the fish laws, and the majority
of these cases were established by Mrs.
Neal.
Her skill with the rife is something
phenomenal, and she drops her quarry
with the ease of professional MINI
rod. Mr.. Neal, who Is an enthusiastic
sportsman, long ago Taught his wife to
be successful with the revolver. Last
July when they were in the upper
lake region camping he induced her
to try her hand with the rifle. He
declared that woman who could
shoot so well with revolver would,
with practice, become a dead shot
with the larger weapon. Now, rife
shooting requires a good eye, a steady
hand and wrist and q control of the
nervous system that very few women
possess. Generally the novice fires

the bottle, surprisingly good at
tempt. Mrs. Neal kept on practicing,
and now is is so expert that she can
hit the glass bottle nine times out of
ten.
In addition to her other duties Mrs.
Neal carries the mail three times q
week to Traverse City for Uncle Sam.

Once again new and startling oc-

woman. 1t is that of game warden,
and the woman who distinguished
herself by making this brand new de-

game warden for Grand Traverse
county not long since, and, from the
appearance of things, she will attend
to the duties of her office in business

The duties of game warden are of

ated more thought and possibly will re- suit in more good than that OF the agen- cies and methods for the improvement of teachers in rural schools. Hon. J. R. Prestons qf Mississippi opened the discus sion. His handsome face added no little to his eloquent and logical address. He was followed by State Superintendent c. R. Glenn of Georgia. His talk aroused the audience more sensibly than any that had been made previous to it. He believes in studying folkology and cuitfpatifig the acquaintance of the peo- a. man thoroughly enlisted in the improve nnent Of our country schools and he practices what he breaches. He is doing for Georgia what our state superintend- ent. Holm O. Turner is trying to do for Alabama, that of improving the public revenues, and if MT. Turner can prevail upon our legislators to do for Alabama what MT. Glenn has effected through the legislators of Georgia, we will emerge from the dormant statesin which we have been for years, to rise to that point of exeelleney that Alabama merits.

It issa sad reflection upon the enterprise and progress of our people. MT Fur ner' effort is to lengthen the term of our public schools to five months, to secure better teachers, better school houses. To do all this he must have more money. hope MT Turner will publish his paper in pamphlet form, and present each legisia- tor with one.

Thirty Thousand Dollars to Invest in
 School-Convict Escapes.
 Gadsden, Jan. 1.-(Special Correspon- dence.)-One day last week Mayor R. A. Mitchell received a telegram from a gen. tleman in Washington City, stating that he had $Se,000 and wanted to invest the same in a school. and the inquirer also asked if James college was still open for purchase. The telegram stated that this gentleman had a great deal of experience in school work and that he was anxious to locate at once.
 Mr Mitchell answered by wire at once, stating that the building and furnishings were for sale at a sacrifice. He followed his telegram by letter detailing the sit uation in full
 General swan, young negro convict ed in two cases of assault at the last term of county court, escapted from the county convict farm last Tuesday night. He prized an opening in the ceiling and pulled off portion of the roof This gave him a chance to get out of the little prison and he did not fail to do so
 Swan was desperate as was we'll known by the authorities and it must have been pure carelessness that allowed him to escape. A day or two before his trial he was the leader in a scheme to break out of the county jail. His wife had made her arrangements to leave the city at the same time. but the shrewdness of Sheriff Lister prevented the intended jail de- livery.
 On Tuesday last Swans wife left the city, and no doubt the two anticipated a meeting somewhere.

Lamar Mourns the Death of Sheriff Ken
 nedy-Marriage and Deaths.
 Vernon, Ala, Jan 1.-(Special Corre- spondence.)-Ou county is in mourning on account of the death of our late sher- if, MT. L. H. Kennedy, who died on the night of the 24th inst.
 In his death Lamar county has lost an efficient public officer and valuable citi- true member and the community in which he lived a prominent, influential and useful man.
 Two months ago he walked among us a fine specimenSof physical manhood, in the prime of life, and bid fair for a long life, but now he lies cold and silent in the tomb.
 But such is the destiny of man! To- day we may be in the enjoyment of per feet health, tomorrow-cold in death.
 There are several applicants for the ap- pointment.
 While death has been reaping a rich harvest, Hymen has also been claiming his victims, among whom may mention MT. Wm. R. Bradley, of the firm of Wm. R. Bradley 6 Co.,, of Guin, and Miss Will lie Matthews, a daughter of Judge Mat thews, of Marion county, also of Guin, who were married at Guin on the 20th inst.
 Also, on the same day at the court house at Vernon, there were two mar riages. On last Sunday there were not less than four marriages in. our county among whom may mention Prof. A. E. Ezelle, principal of the Vernon institute, and Miss Ella Morton, daughter of Dr. M. ". Morton, all of Vernon
 If, as is frequently remarked. an un- usually large number of marriages brings about "hard times,'' we may look for hard times" next year. But we hope the era of prosperity that has been promised the country will soon dawn up- on us in all its splendor and drive hard If x,s auny-

 MT. Openheimer afterwards made an assignment, as we gave notice of only a part of his assets, a partial assignment leaving, as lawyer informed us, over $5.000 worth of goods unassigned and subject to attachment. But other credi- tors are attacking the assignment as a fraud, the law holding that an attempt to use practically all of his assets to pay preferred creditors operates as a general assignment in the interest of all creditors. But the assignee holds that the goods turned over to him do not cover all the assets or any great part of them.

 Wreck-Mrs. Hanbury Has Relatives
 There.
 Hefin, Dec. 31.-(Special Correspond ence. 1.-The Cahaba bridge wreck caused much trouble in Heflin. Mrs Hanberry, who was killed had relatives and many friends here. She was a Miss Ora Adams and sister of Mrs Zaner of Hefin. It seems but yesterday when Mrs Hanberry was among us, a bright, industrious school girl. She spent some time here in school. She and MT, Hanberry were married in Hefin at the home of her sister, on Ross street. They had a quiet home wedding, and her Hef1in friends have seen but little of her since, save when she made her annual visit to her sister. She and her two winsome little children spent some time here only few weeks since. The awful news of her hor- rible death was a terrible shock to all Hefiin.
 Mrs. Zaner and several members of her family took the next train to the scene of the trouble. Mrs. Zaner has not re- turned. She remains to try to help to console her heart-broken mother and husband. Miss Irene Zaner, niece of Mrs. Hanberry. had just the day previous to the trouble, bid good-by to her HefIin friends to spend the winter with her aunt
