New Market, seventeen miles from Huntsville, on the Nashville, Chattanoo- ga and St. Louis railroad, has in the last four months, shipped 260 head of cattle 5000 hogs, 52 cars of poplar walnut and oak logs. Is cars of cedar logs, cars of sawn timber, 28 cars of cotton and cars of cotton seed. Tn that vicinity the farm CTS believe in diversified crops, are good flyers and have plenty.-Unfon Springs Herald.
 Immigrants to Alabama will save trouble and freight by leaving their stock of dogs behind. Here is found the dog in abundance and perfection. Settlers, Bernards. pointers poodles. pugs, Mas tiffs, hounds, spaniels, and all the crosses including those that are just dog and nothing more, all exempt from taxation, mortgage and waive note! Dogs do finely in Alabama besides killing sheep and sucking eggs. Only two diseases are known to be fatal to Alabama dogs poison and lead.-ShefieId Reaper
 The farmers are going right along rais- ing 4-cent cotton this year and continue to buy that 50 and 75-cent corn. That's thein business, though.-Greensboro Watchman.
 But would it not be better to live at home and plant something that they can live on and be independent. It seems that if our farmers would stop and think of the large amount of money they pay out every year for the necessities of life while they go on raising that 4-cent cot ton. they would raise corn, hogs, tobacco and cattle.-Collinsville ca Clipper.

In spite of the statement made by Mr..
Balfour, the First Lord of the Treasury,
in his speech at Norwich on Thursday
evenln T, that the Government had no de-
sire of aggression on the northwest IRON
tier OF India, but sought only TO maintain
the present frontier. there is little doubt
that the trail made by the punit expe-
ditions now engaged with the tribesmen
will be followed by the usual piece of
grab. The military despots of India de.
mand and public opinion in Great Britain
manifestly favors, military occupation
OF the t.rritory practically conquered by
the British troops.

In short, the possession of revolvers is
now so common in the East End that resi-.
dents OF that district daily appeal to the
magistrates and police for the adoption
OF measures to put an end to lawIess-
ness.
The British officials regard the prompt
agreement arrived ut between the United
States. Russia and Japan, providing for q
as q vindication of their refusal to enter
into the conference. and as demons ra-
tion of their contention that an UNDER

The recent police records of the East
End of London read like the old days of
Dead wood, Dakota. Revolver shootings
have occurred almost daily. aud on
Wednesday there were no less than four
com initials to trial for crimes of that
description. One was the case of boy
who had killed girl, another was of a
youth who seriously wounded . woman, a
third of man who shot his mistress, and
the fourth episode was that of boy who
discharged a revolver in the pit of a
music hall. Earlier IN the week boy Of
Is was shot by gang of youngsters be-
cause he refused to fight, and on Monday
bullet crashed through watchmaker's s
store. narrowly missing the proprietor.
The Royal Free Hospital recently had ten
patients suffering from bullet-wounds.

up the unions. There are also signs that
the amendment proposed by the Board of
Trade may lead to a meeting between the
disputants, as while the leaders are out
wardIy firm the men are showing a more
conciliatory spirit, since the place of the
strikers have been filled with non.
unionists. There is scarcely room to
doubt that the employers will finally win,
idly becoming exhausted, as shown by
the manifesto just issued by their execn-
tive com mittee, admitting that in order
to win the strikers must be aided to the
amount Of $4,000 weekly.
In addition 10 the engineers strike, with
threatened strikes in the cotton trade and

veniences which result to sensitive
Americans from their system of govern.

is often shamed abroad by the men sent

Eustis who allowed himself TO be drawn
