The Fate of the Confederate Seal.
II Was First Defaced and Then Sunk in the
Savannah River.

"The result of the last Confederate
council of war held at Abbevllle, South
Carolina, in May, 1865, was soon
known all over Abbeville, and the
Generals and the Secretary of War
were kept busy for hours signing hon
orable discharges for the tired soldiers,
who Immediately applied for them"
writes Mrs. Thaddeus Horton, in the
October LadieS Home journal.
"Durlng the evening Mr.. Benjamin
asked for hatchet, and with it he de-
faced the Confederate seal. About
twelve o'clock the same night the
Confederate party continued their re-
treat in the direction of Washington,
Georgia, and while crossing the Saw
annah River in the darkness some one
suggested that the seal be thrown
overheard. This idea was at once
approved, and when the boat reached
mid-stream it was dropped with dull
splash into the sandy river bed of that
beautiful Southern watercourse, where
to this day, its mission all fulfilled, it
serenely rests"

An adjourned meeting of the Republi- can District Congressional Committee was held at Calera yesterday at 10 clock a. m. MT. L. c. Smith of Anniston presided. Hon. w. F. Aldrich was nominated for Congress by MT. J. M Reagan, and the nomination was seconded by every county in the district, but MT. Aldrich declined the nomination for private reasons.
 A committee of three was then appoins- ed to confer with the Populsts for the purpose of selecting a candidate for Con- gress, Hon. W. F. Tebbett of Anniston was nominated for elector.
 MT Tebbett is a banker, was a captain in the SpanishAmerican war; and is now captain of the Anniston Rifles. He is a nephew of Senator Frye
 R. L. Evans of Cleveland County was nominated as alternate elector.
 The convention was harmonious. in Mr. Aldrich's speech declining the nomination he referred to the Democracy claiming that he had received favorable reports from a partisan committee in his various contests while as a matter of fact the committee had reported in favor of more Democrats than Republicans. Also that the records would show that there was no Congress- man besides himself who had made three successive contests.

FOOTBALL GAMES
 ID BE PLAYED HERE
During the Coming Cold Wealth. er-Auburn and Virginia
 Clemson and University.

With the approach of fall the sporting blood is beginning to rise in the veins of the old college men, and there is much talk of the athletic combats of the coming cold weather.
 It is stated on good authority that Birm- dngham will get two big football games this winter, and if the proper efforts be made, several of the college teams may be in- duced to come here to fight their annual battles.
 The main game of the season will be the contest between the football teams from Auburn and the University of Virginia Since Auburn first gained superiority on the gridiron in the south, she has longed to meet the Virginians, and though both teams will fight under the same coors, or Rnge and blue, the combat will be just as Btubbornly fought to a finish. Auburn does not expect to win a great victory over the lads from Virginia, but it's case of Don't help the bear and you will see one of the hottest scraps that was ever put up."
 The game next in importance will be be- Tween Clemson College of South Carolina and the University of Alabama. This will really be fight between Auburn and the University, as many of the old Auburn men nre either playing on Clemson or directing the coaching of the team. Auburn's old coach MT. Heisman has charge of Clemson and this is point of advantage.
 No dates have yet been given out, but It Is supposed that both games will be played during the month of November, as the sea- son ends with Thanksgiving day.

FIT THE GROCER.
Wife Made the Suggestion.

A grocer has excellent opportunity to know the effects of special foods on his customers. MT. R. A. Lytle of 557 St. Clair street, Cleveland, Ohio, has a long list of customers that have been helped in health by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee.
 He says, regarding his own experience: 1.-Two years ago had been drinking coffee and must say that I was almost wrecked in my nerves
 Particularly in the morning I was so irritable and upset that could hardly wal, until the coffee was served, and then I had no appetite for breakfast and did not feel like attending to my store duties
 "One day my wife suggested that inas- much as I was selling so much Postum Food Coffee there must be some merit in it, and suggested that we try it. I took home a package and she prepared it ac- cordng to directions. The result was a very happy one. My nervousness gradually disappeared and today my nerves are all right. I would advise everyone affected Tn any way with nervousness or stomach troubles, to leave off coffee and use Pos tum Food Coffee"

Chief of Police Austin Ready to Supply
 Boy

If anybody wants a bright blue-eyed baby boy, ? months old the boy can be procured by immediate application to Chief of Police c. W. Austin. The chief says the mother of the baby is a mere child herself and is unable to take care of the infant, and would be willing to part with 1t if the person who takes charge will promise to see that the child gets fair education and good treatment.
 Chief Austin would not disclose the name of the mother nor her place of residence, but says she is evidently from good fam fly and is very intelligent. He says it is most pitiaUie case, and to take the child from her would be an act of mercy.
