 be In the best financial condition for years. The city Is paying expenses this year, and the prospects are for surplus in the treas ury with which to make extensive im- provements and to commence the payment of the old bonded and floating debt.
 The ladies of the Florence Memorial as- sociation are taking steps to raise the nee essary funds for the completion of the con- federate monument in court square, and which was begun several years ago. The base has been. standing for a long time, and the association at one time had enough funds to complete the stone but the faii- ure of a bank in which the funds were deposited stopped proceedings. and the matter has since been at a standstill. The sum of $500 will complete the monument, and the association already has on hand the sum of $250 Plans are now on foot to secure the remainder necessary, and 1t is stated that it will be forthcoming by the first of March. The county will then be asked to remove the dingy red brick build ing now occupied by the county treasurer, and which stands within a few feet of the base of the menument, and they will no doubt comply with the request. small park will then be made around the monu- ment and it will be not only an honor to the memory of the confederate dead, but an ornament to the city as well.

opeclai to Ine Age-fteraln.
 Anniston, Feb "A rumor reached here at a late hour last night of a serious dif- ficulty at Edwardsville, Ala in which a number of people were involved. Details of the difficulty could not be learned, but it was reported that a fight and cutting scrape had already occurred and that fur ther trouble of more serious nature was threatened.
 The report that reached Annston was to the effect that the trouble was in the nature of a feud between two factions either in Edwardsville or near that town, and that a brother of Deputy Marshal Burgess. of this city. was involved, either as participant or as peacemaker. Deputy Burgess received telegram late last night telling him to come at once to Edwardsville He was greatly exercised over the telegram and left at once in a private conveyance for Edwardsville, ae- companied by Deputy Marshal Sorrel. It has been impossible to get any furtherr de- tails today.

BLACKWELL STICKS TO SILVER.
His Candidacy in the Eighth Is Officially Ar
 nOunced.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Decatur, Feb 2.-Hon. Samuel Blackwell was seen in his office this evening. and in reply to the question as to whether he had fully decided to enter the race for congress against Gen. Joe Wheeler and Judge William Richardson, he said:
 'Yes, l have firmly decided to enter the race. This decision has been made by me after due deiberation, and weighing all considerations and chances both for and against my ultimate success.
 q will stand squarely upon the Chicago platform.
 The political situation in the Eighth district, so far as the congressional fea- ture is concerned, is now in a muddled condition. All lines will now require re- adjustment. It has heretofore been con- ceded that Richardson would carry Morgan county, but Blackwell's entering the arena will force Wheeler to make fight for this county, which will necessarily make this the center of the fight in the dis trct, and a hot scramble for the Morgan delegation will soon be on. It is known that Judge Richardson will put up strong effort for it, and if he carries it over Blackwell it is thought his election will be assured.

PECULIAR RELIGIOUS SECT
Brought to Tral in Anots~ Magistrates
 Court.
Special to The Age-Herald.


 Anniston, Feb. "A civil suit in a mag istrate's court in this city today attracted attention to new and peculiar religious sect which has gained a foot-hold in the Choccoloco valley, in this county The de- fendant in the case was J. D. Jordan who was sued by Jonathan Williams on note made several years ago. Both are mem bers of religious organization called the Separance Brothers According to MT Williams statement in the justice court, the Separance Brothers own no property but simuly hold their possessions in trust, to be handed down from generation to gen. eration until the final day of accounting arrives. They claim to be members of the body of Christ, believe in universal brotherhood among members of the sect. The Separance Brothers sect was organ ized in the neighborhood in which Williams and Jordan live by a travelling evangelist, who came through here recently distribut- ing his tracts. A number of people have joined, but so quietly have they been or ganizing that scarcely anyone outside of the immediate neighborhood know any thing of the new sect.

 Huntsville, Feb. 2.-Only five people have died in Huntsville during the month of January This is shown by the report of Superintendent Sibley of the city ceme- tery. During the month ten people were buried in the cemtery, but five of them died outside of the city limits.
 Judge James A. Bilbro, of Gadsden, is announced as a candidate to succeed him. self as judge of the Ninth judicial circuit Judge Bilbro has served only four years as circuit judge, having been appointed in 1894 by the governor to fill out the unex- pired term of Judge J. B. Tally, of Scotts- boro, who was impeached for his connec- tion in the Ross-Skelton tragedy. Judge Bilbro will probably have an open field.
 The new sewer system in the northern portion of the city has been completed Two hundred men are now employed in the southern part of the town and that side will be completed in few weeks. Work has been done on such an econom- ical scale that the city will have sur- plus left from the $42,0OO set aside for the building of sewers. This sum will probably go into the street fund.
