ECHOES FROM
 THE MEGAPHONE
From the Clogtown Megaphone.

| From the Clogtown Megaphone. Our citizens were surprised yesterday at seeing a large flock of chickens flying over | Clogtown. Investigation showed that they were coming from towards Birmingham, | and for several minutes the clouds were black with the fowls. They were uttering the most fiendish of cackles, and no one fere knew what to make of it until the
 Megaphone came out in an extra and stated
 that the Methodist conference is now sit ting in Birmingham. No wonder these poor
 chickens were leaving for other parts. A
 Methodist certainly does believe in sprink- ling babies and eating chickens. There is not live chicken in all Birmingham today. Harry Williams, of Meadville, was in town yesterday. He was accompanied by. his overcoat and measley burlesque on a mustache.
 The Megaphone man has received from
 the governor an appointment as justice of
 the peace for this beat We hereby state
 that we retract what we have said in other
 issues about the governor having sold the
 school lands, etc We are now prepared to
 dispense justice at much per dispense.
 Call our way when in need of justice; prices
 to suit your purse
 Our merchants cannot supply the de-
 mand for old barrels since the Megaphone announced that Mrs, Aguinaldo's clothing
 had been captured in that kind of ward
 robe. Every girl in Clogtown who makes
 any pretense whatever to being up-to-date
 is now swapping off her trunks for barrels. We have even sold our old coal barrel, and
 in it is stored dresses, hosiery, gloves, rib bons and a whole lot of other things which
 we do not know the names of.
 It used to be asked, what is home with
 out baby? The only proper thing to ask now is: What is home without a club woman?' J. E. G.

From the Huntsville Mercury.

The Montevallo and Tuskegee school lands, and the university lands, recently sold, about which such scandalous reports have been circulated throughout the south in regard to certain men, clothed with of fieial power and authority, bids fair to be the obstruction upon which some of them may find their political hopes wrecked. What tile people want to know is if there has really been swindle perpetrated in the manipulation and sale of these lands and who is responsible for the transaction? It will take a clear concise easy-to-be- understood statement to satisfy the people on these points. Let those most interested hasten to collect and put the facts before the people,

TWO oREpR"sENTATI EFXPANsIoNIsrs

T
 The first president of the century in the United States was Thomas Jefferson, ex- pansionist, and the last president, William Mckinley is likewise ruler who has wid- ened the borders of the republic and WI loom up in history in consequence. In 1891 Jefferson was 5S years old, and Mckinley in 1901 will be 5S. The vast territory Jefferson acquired against the wishes of the mug wumps of his time is now the seat of a great internal commerce and is divided into many rich and fourishing states; McKin- leys acquisition will become identified with the republic in like manner.

From the Talladega Mountain Home.

The Age-Herald is impatient. Our es- teemed contemporary complains that only old issues were discussed by Senator Nor gan and Governor Johnston at Athens Sat urday. It wants light on the two recent land deals, now prominent in the publia mind. The Age-Herald must abide with patience. It is not yet known at what value these lands have been. or are to be, stocked, in the great industrial cempanies. of Jefferson. Until that is known, no just estimate of the profits realized by the off, cials through whom the deals were made can be formed.

A very commendable practice pre-

was suggested last winter by Bishop

keep his blood warm. and declared that
he could not prevent numbness in his
arms and legs without taking some
thing warm inside OF him. This set

late last winter was the first to put the
plan into operation. She engaged n

her house nt midnight, while she was
giving ball. and remain there until
her guests departed. serving sand
wlches and hot coffee to the coachmcn
in waiting. This winter 1t has been
quite the fad. and the wagons of the
Temperance society, which during the

found where the saloons are the thick
