members more than ordinarily large, but the addresses delivered and the papers read were remarkably able and instruct i've and the general interest in the asso- citation is greater than ever before. These facts are gratifying to the lawyers and to the public: they are especially gratifying to Hon. Alexander Troy the distinguished and ever faithful secretary, who was re- elected last Saturday for the twenty-third consecutive term. In the law and in gen. eral literature MT. Troy is one of the most learned of Alabamians: and he is also one of the best of all good fellows living.
 The election of Former Governor Thomas G. Jones to the presidency of the associa ton, in succession to Hon. Joseph J. Will lett, is a distinction alike to Governor Jones and to the association, and one which Alabamians generally will appre- ciate for it's notable merit. Governor Jones enjoys the respect and esteem of all good and intelligent citizens, for he is of the strongest of Southern men and ablest members of the bar. More than all this, he deserves his high place in public esti- mation
 There is to be a great celebration of the
 
 year, and the patriots there are to have the pleasure and profit of listening to an oration from one of the most eloquent of Alabamians, bearer of one of the most historic of 'rebel' names. Thomas II. Watts of Montgomery has accepted cor dial invitation to deliver the Fourth of July speech at Des Moines; and he is a man of uncommon ability and oratorical power. He is the second of that Thomas H. Watts who was Confederate colonel, Confederate Attorney General and Confederate Governor of Alabama Few men are so well qualified as he to dis charge the pleasing duty assigned to him by the Iowans. MT. Watts will leave Montgomery for Iowa at the end of next week. Last year he delivered an im- promptu speech in Indianapolis which won praise throughout the middle west. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company is building a beautiful station at Jackson's Lake, five miles north of Mont gomery. The lake, the park with its build ngs and adjoining forest land, are the property of the Montgomery Shooting Club, and represent an investment of $30 GOO or $4O,0O0 '"The Lake," as the resort is popularly called, is perhaps the most at tractive pleasure-place in Alabama. The Birmingham public and people of other communities outside of Montgomery have come to appreciate the attractions of "the | Lake" The owners of the property let it | for a day to any reputable society or orr | ganization desiring to use it for picnic or barbecue.
 
 Judge James B. Head attended the meet | ing of the State Bar Association last | week, and no other man there was so 1 cordially greeted as he. President Edward | l.. Russell of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad | was another distinguished member who | was present.
 MT. Justice II. A. Sharpe of the state supreme court is at his home in Fifth avenue.
 James Ferguson, elder brother of Gener- | al F. s. Ferguson and Charles w. Fergu- l son of Birmingham, died last week at his home in Victoria, Tex. He was about 60 l years old.

REFLECTIONs OF A BACHELoR

From the New York Press.
 If thin woman is rich, she is only slight.
 The closer you get to her the more far away look girl gets. 3
 A mans ambition is to be noted; a womans to be noticed.
 No man knows what it means to succeed with a woman till he has failed with one.
 A woman can conceal her age, but when a man plays golf he has got to show his legs.
 The best way for a woman to get rid of a man she doesn't like her husband to like is to treat him too nice.
 There is never any hope for a man after his wife gets so she thinks she can pick out his clothes best for him.
 If a man apologized to company for his wifes cooking half as much as she does herself she would go home to her mother. Half the time when a man lies to his wife, he does it because he knows he can get up a story that will sound a lot more reasonable to her than the truth.

Roys Will be Boys

Huntsville Republican. from Gurley: Alvy Given says he has no strings on him, but a young lady says she thinks it is best for Fison Sloan to put one on him so he can hold him on the stage next time they go to sing quartette.
 A certain drummer stopped over in our town Saturday, Sunday and Monday. We don't know whether he is drumming to sell shoes or a housekeeper, but the latter we think.
 Cheap goods and pleasant smiles of Mr. Jake Blackman is the cause of many young ladies visiting M J. Blachman's store.
 Messrs. J. R. Sullivan, Alvy Wright, John Bown and w. G. Flynt, each worshipped some young lady at Paint Rock Sunday night.
 Miss Ellen Barter has received a very nice pet from her brother George, at Mo- bile, in young alligator about ten inches long.
 Wanted, in Gurley, young man who is able to build; brownstone front prefer red.
 If one of our young men don't quit swinging on the fence Sunday evening a fence builder will be in demand in Cur ley.

FALsTAFF'S SONG
By E. c. Stedman.

By E. c. Stedman. Where's he that died O Wednesday? What place on earth hath he? A tailor yard beneath, l wot,
 Where worms approaching be; For the wight that died O Wednesday, Just laid the light below, Is dead as the varlet turned to clay A score of years ago. Where's he that died O Sabba' day? Good Lord, I'd not be he! The best of days is foul enough
 From this worlds fare to flee; And the saint that died O Sabba day, With his grave turf yet to grow, Is dead as the sinner brought to pray A hundred years ago. Where's he that died O yesterday? What better chance hath he To clink the can and toss the pot When this nights junkets be? For the lad that died O yesterday Is just as dead-ho, ho,- As the whoreson knave men laid away A thousand years ago.

 The Springville News of last week con tained an article of warning to the mothers of that town, regarding the whereabouts of their younger boys.

 A friend handed us an advertisement of fering a reward for a cotton crop which has been lost in the grass for several days, in a field about one mile north of town. Livingston Home: Last Sabbath was spent among the good people of Enondale Miss where we were given the privilege of preaching to interesting congregations and shaking the hands of old friends, notwithstanding the bad weather. We find that death had been in their midst, and many of them are of a sad countenance and sorrowing hearts. All along the line was mud and slush. Rain, grass and ruin seemed to be the leading topic of conver- sation.
 The ice cream and cake were keenly enjoyed It was a pleasant and enjoyable occasion and passed off without the least hitch or break Musical entertainments lift people out of sordid ways and habits and exert on them a refining and elevat- ing influence, which deserves to be cul- tivated.

We are undoubtedly passing through a "rainy June" said by many persons to be always promising of abundant crops and held by many other persons to be always disastrous to crops. There was never yet any weather that satisfied every body Every fair day is too fair or not fair 'enough;" every rainy day is too rainy or not rainy enough There are some folk who would object to the gold pavements of the new Jerusalem, holding that silver were the better material. There is a preacher in Augusta, Ga, who recently preached on the subject of whether the Lord would wear silk hat if he were now on earth. He reminds one of the famous old oath of the primitive Carolinians and Georgians,-"Helln Au- gusty! The newspapers print some other man as preaching on the subject of Me, the Sinner" Apparently the personal pronoun l hath terrors for me" But that has no immediate bearing upon the question of rain In various districts of the Backbelt the overabundant rainfall has been almost disastrous to the young cotton and corn. The rains appear to have been partial. At Montgomery rain has fallen during fifteen out of the seven- teen days past of this June; but there are said to be crops within six miles of Mont gomery that are suffering from dry weather.
 The recent meeting of the Alabama State Bar Association was the most successful and satisfactory that has been held in ten years Not only was the attendance of

to the Jurors are matters more OF taste,

Our supreme court further says in

trial is fair In other respects, convlc-
ton viii not be set aside for improper
remarks of counsel, where the verdict
OF conviction is plainly warranted by
the evidence. and no other verdict

In my judgment, this is the case
where the evidence so Justlfles the ver-
dict returned that had the jury found
any other verdict they would have
been guilty OF misconduct. II the evil
dence so warrants the verdict. improp-
er arguments win not be regarded as In

It will be regarded as the verdict OF
Jurors convinced by the testimony. and
forced to render 1t, because the testi-
mony demanded 1t. And OF this sort is,
think, the verdict rendered In this
case.
It is the sentence and Judgment Of the
