A GERMAN COLONY
German Emigrants Will Leave the Frog en State of Iowa and Come to Ala
 bama to Raise Grapes.
Athens Courier.

Athens Courier.
 MT. Maisner, a prosperous German, of Sioux City, la, has been here some days and has perfected plans for one of the most successful and prosperous German colonies that has ever been located in the south.
 Ten miles southwest of Athens is To- cated Browns Ferry, one of the oldest crossing places on the Tennessee river. For many years this has been the prop erty of Capt. R. B. Mason and is a rich and fertile body of land. It is only six miles above the shoals and the same dis and sandy, and the water of the neigh borhood splendid. MT. Maisner has made arrangements with the proprietor of this vast tract of land to cut 1t into lots of a few acres and sell it to German settlers of Iowa, who propose to come south and start vineyard.
 MT. Maisner has considerable experi- ence in the grape growing business. He was among the first settlers who made Cullman what it now is.
 A party of associates from the frozen north will reach here in few days and the work of laying out this large landed estate into small lots, prepara- tory for sale at the spring sales in May, will immediately begin. As soon as spring breaks the projectors of this mammoth enterprise Will go north ana make up load of people, who will come by boat from the Upper Mississippi all the way to Browns Ferry, making the trip at their ease and at a small cost. The sales will take place in early May, when the lots will be auctioned off to those who may desire to purchase.
 MT. Maisner is a gentleman of ability and has managed these character of en- terprises before and Is delighted with the location that he has selected. It is only ten miles from Athens and one of the best roads, level and smooth, that the country affords, with no high waters ever to cross between the new colony site and the county capital.
 This bids fair to be the beginning of the greatest influx of people to this country. Limestone already has one colony of German citizens

THE ALABAMA WIT.
Has Way of His Own Noting Current Events.

The Editor of the Sulligent Lightning has a way peculiar to himself of writing up the local happenings of that. town. The following is a sample from the last issue of that paper:
 c. B. Carter and family have returned home from a protracted visit to relatives in various parts of North America. Those relatives now have nothing to eat.
 Woods Armstrong left the front of this week to attend school at Hamilton, and it goes without saying that Prof. Alex ander will put more learning into Woods heels than his shoes will contain.
 G. R. Thurman has frightened his load Of sin by paying for Lightning. He says he now feels happier and more like licking large man than before in years
 E. R. Burns of Vernon, was in Sulli- gent recently. His ears look like saddle blankets strung over clothes ilne, put at the sense he has got! His friends think he may some day get to be constable or Towne beat.
 G. W. Merchant was in town recent ly and poked about a square yard or his cheek into this den and threatened to pay his subscription, and meeting with no opposition, carried his threat into execution.
 I. J. Smith, gentleman possessing d nice farm and a pair of large, intellectu- al feet, is one of IAghtning's new read CTS this week.
 J. B. East, the young drummer who spent the summer here and made quite a name for himself on account of the unusual length and looseness of his tongue, was in our midst again last week. for day.
 J. c. Stinson has now opened up his barber shop in the back of Ack Hollis store, and will be glad to remove your hirsutical appendages and make you look more like gentleman and a scholar He has new razors, new chair and new everything except his hand in the business.
 Col J. H. Mcclure, an enormous law yer who inhales atmosphere by the cubic yard at Jasper, and who knows good "jug', when he smells it, was in Sulligent on business last week, and while here ordered this paper sent him.
 Ed Cobb of Vernon, young gentle man with a crush hat and lofty ann bition. stepped on the toes of Sulligent people the tail extremity of last week.

A SPECIMEN RAINEs LAW HOTEL.


 The ingenuity displayed by the propri- etors of saloons to adapt their places of business for Sunday traffic has disclosed many curious specimens of interior archi- lecture to Commissioner Roosevelt in his investigations to see how the Raines law was being enforced. A so-called hotel on the lower Bowery was recently de- scribed by the commissioner as one of the most fiimsy devices to satisfy the let ter of the law he had ever observed.
 The hotel consists of one room 50 feet long, about half as wide, and about 15 feet high. Across one corner Is the bar. In another corner, during week days, a slat partition is placed against the wall At the stroke of midnight Saturday the partition is rolled in front of the bar Thus during the Sabbath the bar is in another room. At one end of the room are two rows of cells with thin partitions about eight feet high. There are five in row, and the area of each is approx imately that of business mans office desk. In one or two of the cells are cots A few tables are near the cells. The host does not care to have the bedrooms oc- cupied, and is, moreover, of a facetious disposition. So he has posted the notice: No sleeping allowed" This constitutes Raines law hotel, and the commissioner said the courts had upheld its status as a hotel.

BROTHER WEDS SISTER.
Later on and Unsuspectingly Marry.

Exchange.
 ,SMulvane, Ark, a few miles south of Wichita, is stirred up over disclosures brought to light concerning Peter Will son and his wife.
 When Wilson was boy six years old he and his sister Rachael, two years old, were left parentless and adopted by two families-the boy growing up in Missouri and the girl in Iowa.
 They never heard anything more of each other, but in the meantime Peter Wilson married a girl in Sioux City, la. They have been married thirty-nine years and have just discovered that they are the twdR orphans-brother and sister-who were separated in childhood.
 They have nine children, three of whom are deaf mntes and two others deform- ed. He and his wife are almost crazed with grief over the painful discovery.

tions of color and design, involving the whole field or taste as applied to textile manufacturing.
 But what of the chance of the edu- cated operative to rise? It is true that posts of responsibility are comparatively few. But those that exist are not going to be filed by men incompetent to fill them. There Is no need to worry about an over-supply of. properly educated tex tite artisans until we outgrow our pres ent under-supply, until we cease to find it necessary to send abroad for such men when we want them. Augustus Lowell wrote in his commemorative address that after the Massachusetts institute of technology had been sending its men into the world for twenty-five years there was a ten-fold greater demand for it's products than before such a supply ex isted.
 This question is of supreme importance to New England. I declare to you by conviction that our future industrial stat us turns upon it. At the census of 1890, the value of the products of the woolen and cotton mills of New England exceed ed $32O ,000 annually, all the other states in the Union contributing value of only $21S, ,000 .000. No other industries and if we add the industries directly de- pendent upon them, the aggregate far ex- ceeds that of all other local industries combined.
 l HIS vast source OI prosperity IS ouIS ny virtue of no special gift of providence, be- slowing upon us peculiar advantages for it's development. It is in no sense an indigenous industry. Climate nor soil do not especially favor 1t. We produce none of the raw materials it requires. We grow neither cotton nor wool we must import even our coal; and our unsurpass- ed water power facilities, once so vital, are no longer a great factor. We know from history that industries tend to mi grate to the points of greatest economic advantage. The English wool manufac- ture was concentrated for centuries in the south, in Sussex and Essex; but it has fled to the north, where coal is plenty. We already behold the cotton manufac- ture drifting southward, where factory and cotton field adjoin one another, and coal and iron are plenty. Capital will not shut its eyes to these economic advan- tages. How then shall we retain and foster an industry so vital to our future? There is but one method open to us. New England must rely for her continued su- premacy in textile manufactures upon the skill, energy and foresight of her em- ployers, and upon the dexterity, the me chanical aptitude, the technical education of her artisans.

A MERE QUESTION OF LAW.

Montgomery Journal.
 The recent action of the governor in appointing a city judge has called for some adverse comment among the enc mics of the governor and naturally the friends of Judge Winter feel chagrined over the matter. It is mare question of law as to the right of the governor to make the appointment and the supreme court will have to determine the matter. Judge Winter and his friend contend that the governor had no right to make the appointment. Gov Johnston and his ad- mirers, including the attorney general and Gen. Edmond w. PettuS, United States senator-elect, concluded after careful investigation of the various legal phrases of the question, that it was not only the right of the governor but his duty to make the appointment The Montgomery morning paper sought to arouse some feeling on the subject among the friends of Judge Winter; but in this it must fall Judge Winter is an able and learned judge and he knows there are grave doubts as to the construc- tion likely to be put on the constitution and the act creating the city judgship, and whenever doubt exists as to the In tent and meaning of any act of the leg islature or any clause of the constitution that the courts are the proper tribunal to determine the question and to settle all doubts thereon. There should be no feeling either among the friends of MT. Sayre or Judge Winter. The only ques- ton between them is a legal one and is for the courts to settle. The courts are for this purpose, are created for this purpose, and it is a constitutional right of every man to appeal to the courts for justice and no one has a right to arbitra- rily determine for himself what is not and is justice, and neither MT. Sayre nor Judge Winter, nor their friends, assume or presume to do so. The effort of the morning paper to arouse bad blood be- tween the two gentlemen named. there fore, and their friends, must fail. and should fail.

IMPROVED METHODS.
How Convicts May Be Employed on the
 g Highways.

Highways.
 Michigan has been one of the foremost states in the union in the adoption of new methods for the treatment of crime and criminals, says the Chicago News. It was one of the first states to abolish capital punishment one of the first to abandon the cumbersome and expensive grand jury system and it is one of the first to present practical methods in the employment of its convicts
 While not all of her changes have been marked improvements they have led the way to notifications that have been salu- tary The plan for the solitary confine- ment of murderers was found to be in- human and it was abandoned but 1t led to the certainty of punishment and the practical impossibility of securing pardons for such criminals, although Gov. Pin gree has just pardoned the Molitor mur- derers. A new anti-convict labor Dill IS before its legislature and although some of its provisions may be regarded as rather extreme it has some features that commend it.
 The measure prohibits all contracts, the use of machinery, other than such as may be propelled by hand or foot pow er and limits the number Of convietS that may be employed at any one trade to one-twentieth of the number of free persons engaged in the same trade In the state. The convicts are to be employed chiefly in providing supplies for the state
 
 mitting counties to employ convicts. in gangs not exceeding twenty in number, for work on the highways.
 Where the labor of convicts in large numbers has been tried on the highways 1t has been found that the cost of keep ing has exceeded the value of their work, but where a county can employ a small body of convicts at points not far distant from jail in which they can be securely kept when not at work the cost of care and maintenance may be reduced to a minimum, while a gang of twenty Is large enough to be worked to advantage. Michigan has efghty-five counties, and while 1t may not have conyicts enough to go around it is not probable that all the counties would ask them, nor that all would demand their legal quota. The more populous counties where the jails are largest and best, and where the de- mand for improved highways Is the most imperative, could be easily furnished with a comparatively efficient force of work men, which, under the direction of com- potent engineers, would soon furnish the state with network of good roads with out much expense to the people.
 The defects of the new system are not easily detected. although they might be made apparent by short experience with it. The basis of the plan, however. comes the nearest a practical solution of the convict-labor question of any yet att tempted.

SUNDAY SERMONS.

It is sad indeed to see person throw an orange peel on the sidewalk, and some one comes along, trips, falls and is crip- pied for life. How much sadder is it to see man throw stumbling block in his brothers way and send his soul to 'fhell?"
 
 Stand square on your principles. Don't be bigot, but be firm. Uphold good morals, and don't give way to evil. Speak the truth always and at all times. All the winds of adversity and the attacks of satan combined cannot prevail against it. You will find 1t source of comfort and shelter in time of storm. Every man should remember that if his position should cause a fellow man to sin that he is doubly condemned.
 Christ was made sin for our sins and crucified for our sakes. Thereby sin was crucified. Now, the result is this: If we come to Christ and want Him to dwell in us and we dwell in Him, then we cruelty the old sinful man. He is (spir- rually) dead, buried and resurrected, changed from sinful lusts to Cody de- sires.
 Brother, there is no use of your trying to be a Christian by yourself. for your own spirit is prone to do evil things and the devil Is always urging it on in it's vileness. So you must have Gods spirit to fight the battle for you. You are too weak; don't attempt 1t yourself.
 A man has no more right to stay in house built on the sand than he has to, rob a bank.
 There is no excuse for a man being lost, for salvation Is free to all Christ came to give life to those who would ac- cept it as gift flor God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever beleveth on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life"
 Young man, if your business compels you to go in bad company. deal with them in strictly a a>business way, for heavens sake; Don't take them as friends; it may be your ruin. Be not deceived; evil communications corrupt good man. ners." 4tY f
