Many who received the above invita-
ton inferred that they were expected
TO represent we olden time and there
was plenty of merriment as the
guests arrived in their quaint cos
tunes. Some wore wedding dresses
that had been carefully preserved,
Others came in costumes made espec-
tally for the occasion. The little
girls, in their long court dresses,
with powdered hair in knot on top
OF their small heads looked quaint and
pretty as they opened the doors and
made their courtesy, and prett1er still
as they danced the minuet after din
ner. The boys too attracted much
attention in powdered wigs, bright
colored coats and waistcoats, rutfles,
knee breeches, buckles, white stock
ings and slippers. The poke bonnet,
the hoop skirts, the long basque, the
draped overskirt, the flowing sleeves,
the old fashioned caps, the large stiff
fened sleeves, cameo pins, beads and
necklaces and the old styles OF colt
fure were all represented. When the
guests were seated at the tables spread
in old fashioned style, they were de-
lighted with the mush and milk,
doughnuts, pumpkin pies, buildings,
etc. The houses were lighted with
candles and decorated with old fash
Toned flowers, and after dinner the
mandolin club furnished music new
and old, and all joined in the old
time songs, not forgetting g Yankee
Doodle.' Altogether it was a very
happy gathering and many decided
that they would not neglect to lay
away some costume for their grand
children to wear to parties half
century or more from now.

OFF TO THE

Deputy Sheriff h. S. Mccall and
Dorsey Leavell of near New Flor
ence, left Tuesday for the Klon-
dyke. Mccall wanted to go about
three years ago when Barton,
Gregory and White went, but was
persuaded mott go. Poung Leav-
ell has been there and he and his
father are reported to have some
very valuable mines in that region.
The boys can go now by rail and
ships nearly all the way, and do
not have to bear the hardships that
the boys endured who left here
three years ago.
Charley has many good, staunch
friends here who were down to the
"Com." to see him OIL Tuesday
morning. They all wish him big
success in the gold regions of the
north, and hope he may return in
a year or two to Montgomery a
regular ''gold baron" Judge
Leavell, we understand, will follow
the boys few months later.

DEMAND FOR A NON PARTISAN
JUDICIARY.

There seems to be among the
American people an ever increas-
ing demand for a non-partisan
judiciary. Although we have not
seen this question agitated and
discussed to any great extent in
the leading papers of the country,
yet there is a decided tendency
among the people to have the
laws of the different states so
amended as to take the
election of the judges of the
Supreme Court of Appeals and
Circuit Courts out of party politics
and select some other mode OF
procedure to dll these high, exalt-
ed and important positions.
The Office of Judge from time
immemoriel has always been con-
sidered, among civilized people, ga
noble, dignified and important
position. A prominent English
writer, Chancellor Bentham, de-
fines a judge to be San officer APP

Mexico, Mo-, Dec. 13.-(Special)
C. f. Clarke, author of the state
fair bill, has brought suit against
the Regular Baptist Publishing
Association here,for $500. with in
terest from 1887. He claims that
the association agreed to establish
and maintain continuously in this
city in a publishing house, with a
book and distribution store at
tached, in the interest of Bible
truths as taught by the Regular
Baptists of America. Mr.. Clarke
contends that the association has
failed to perform its part of the
contract, and he sues to recover
his subscription. II is understood
that other Regular Baptists who
subscribed toward the enterprise
will also bring suit for recovery.

Alex Walters Shot.

Alex Walters, {col.) was shot by
Constable Powell near New Flor
ence Monday morning while resist
ing arrest. The facts, as near as
we could learn, are as follows (:
Walters, it seems, had been at the
poor farm for some time and be-
came troublesome. Mr.. Messenger
1t seems, sent him away from the
poor farm, when he made his way
to New Florence. He began to in
quire "who run that berg" soon
after he reached there Monday
morning and begun making troub-
lie. Friends told him to behave
himself or he would be arrested.
He went down east of town to
VIM Verser's place and there be-
came troublesome. Constable
Powell was notified and telephoned
Prosecuting Attorney Ball for in
structions. He was told to arrest
the negro. This he proceeded to
do but the negro made for him with
a club, when Powell shot him il
the forehead. At first il wal
thought the shot had proved fatal
and the Coroner was sent for, bu'
before he arrived the negro hat
revived and showed fight. He was
held in custody until handcuffi
could be secured and was lodged
in Jail Tuesday.

Middletown Chips has donned a
new dress which helps her out
wonderfully in her mechanical APP
pearance. Chips has been having
some pretty hot editorials in the
past few weeks on divers and sun
dry themes and we suppose that
the warmth engendered thereby
melted his old type or rather burned
up the old dress, which necessi-
tated the outlay for a new one.
Chips can realize now that it does
cost something to write red hot
editorials. However, we congratu-
late Chips on this evidence o
Mckinley prosperity and hope tina
his new dress may wear a lon,

facts so found the appropriate rules
OF law and to certify by his judg-
ment the relief to which the parties
are entitled, OF the obligations. or
penalties which they have incurr-
ed.
In this country, Judges Of the
United States Supreme Court are
nominated and appointed by the
President, with the consent Of the
Senate, and hold their Offices dur
ing good behavior. This modus
%operandi OF selecting the judiciary
of the highest tribunal in the
land-the court of last resorts a
very wise one, and, yet 1t does not
entirely remove the selection from
partisan influences. In the United
States the judiciary is not, as 1t
is the case in some European coun-
tries, a separate profession, but
our judges are chosen from the
class of advocates and counsellors
at law, and entirely as to their
eminence at the bar and their gem
eral fitness.
Hence the duties, acts and re-
sponsibilities of a Judge, should, in
our opinion, depend upon
, his politics or his partisanship,
for the simple reason that intem-
/, perate partisanship on the part OF
a Judge of a court has a tendency
/ to render him unfit to discharge his
duties f~earlessly, impartially and
without favor OF affection. We
in this country cases in point where
justice was defeated or thwarted
by reason of a partisan or political
judiciary. When we take into
consideration the further fact that
Judges are absolutely protected
from action for anythingthey may
do in the discharge of their judicial
functions, which is true in the
fullest sense of the judges of the
Supreme Court, and when we call
to our mind that it is a well es-
tablished principle of law that no
action will lie against a judge of
the Supreme Court for a judicial
act, though it be alleged to have
been done malicously and corrupt
ly; when we further consider the
possibility that a corrupt and I'M
principled judge could use his
Office for political purposes and
with a view of building up and
strengthening his fences to secure
a denomination and election, the
great necessity becomes at once
apparent-that judges of courts
and politics should be forever
divorced-and some other plan de-
vised to select competent and
Trustworthy men to fill the ex-
allied and responsible positions OF
judicial officers. 1t is all wrong
and exceeds the bounds of reason
and decency to drag the judicial
offices down into the foul mire OF
unclean politics. The man who
will devise a remedy and recon-
, mend an antidote in this importan'
matter will be a benefactor t.
/ mankind. What have our lawyeI
