A WAR BISCUIT.

A valuable and interesting relic which was shown to the Veterans and Daught- ers' at the barbecue at Jackson's Lake on Friday, was a biscuit baked in 1862 at Pensacola by a soldier. MT. Josiah Hudgins, now of Crenshaw County. Ills home Is five miles from Rutledge. He has given 1t to MT. Barnes with instruc- tions that it be given-to be preserved to whatever organization he thinks hest.
 Mr. Hudgins says that he baked two and sent them home to his wife by MT
 John Howell of Banner. Mrs. Hudgins eat one of them and kept the other. A by stander suggested that having eaten one she was not likely to try the other
 This biscuit Is truly itself veteran and has very little of the look of any bis- cults first blush of youth.

THE FALLEN LEAE.

 (By Andrew James Miller.)
 For a week or two past, we have all been watching the changing hues Of the foliage-the waning of the life of the year-the premonition of the physical death of the leaves It is truly the sea- son of mellow rest and peace-the re- pose of Nature, after her great and important work with plant life is finished and the golden reaping" is over. There may still remain a fair sprinkling of evergreens. as . grateful contrast to the dropping scar and fallen leaves of the oaks and elms. yet, while the former have protected their living green ma terial, by a thick glazed coat of outer celyls, the protoplasm of the dying leaf has only withdrawn into the bark, to blossom afresh when spring comes round again., In this way, Nature teaches her important lesson of intercollegiate great truth that nothing is annihilated. The dead skeleton of the leaf is drop ped. but it's germ-its soul-remains Tor the formation of young leaves, when the genial sunshine of Spring once more in- vites 1t back to life.
 A short drive into the country, at this season, will richly reward the botanist, or even the casual and indifferent lover of Nature Though November is con- sidered the most gloomy and austere month of the year, it has it's compensa- tions, especially to those,t who dwell in rural quietudes. Bare as are the ma iority of the trees, whose leafless branches make that exquisite tracery, which, from our childhood, never ceases to perennial1y delight our eyes, there are some still. robbed in their summer gar ments. and seem, from the baroness around them, more vivid green. The stately pines, the glossy holly leaves. the gleaming silver poplars the rich green of the bays and magnolias. together with an occasional exotic laurel that may sug- gest the legend of Apollo and Daphne; the crimson berries of the sumac. beds of purple periwinkle. red stems of the wild rose and ground ivy. will still aid to enliven the chilly aspect of much dis credited and maligned November.
 But here, too, beside these lingering remnants of Autumn are the evidences of decay of dissolution and death
 Low in the forest. the withered leaves lie dead,
 They rustic to the eddying gust and to the rabbits tread"
 The oks, hickories. beeches and syca- mores have dropped their shivering leaves all wan yellow on the ground, and the naked twigs now stand silhou- cited delicately, in Natures etching. against a grey-blue background. Many it is true, tenaciously cling to the parent stem, as if contending with inexorable fate, but their doom Is sealed. since the next vagrant wind will sweep them to the earth and finish their life story. Natures vital activities have been silenc- ed, when the leaf flutters to the ground. but nothing is lost, when we know that | 1t gives back to earth the elements 1t 1 has borrowed, to be finally used up [ again.

SOME INCIDENTS OF THE
 RECEPTION TO THE VETERANS

First of all 1t was a great success, and the success was due to the united help of each Association. A work of love and a genuine pleasure to each and all- above all, however, the great success of the delicious refreshments was due to the head committee of that particu- Ter department. Mrs. V. M. Fillmore of the Cradle of the Confederacy Chapter and Mrs. w. B. Jones of the Dixie Chapter, these two ladies with a perfect understanding of such things worked hard and well! Other daughters did the decorating, arranging tables and serving to whom much praise is due. One of the pleasant incidents and features of the occasion was the book in the recorders room for each Veteran to register his name and command. This book after wards to be sent to the Departmbent of Archives and History to be kept there for future generations. A roster, of the first reunion of the Alabama Division of the United Confederate Veterans. This happy thought was suggested by Mrs. Cassels, daughter of our gallant Veteran, Captain W. B. Jones.
 Miss Anna May Phelan presided over this book, looking dainty and pretty in an evening gown and many were the smart things said there. A Veteran asked, "Who are you?" was your father in the war;" "Yes, indeed! I am

A MASCULINE BELLE
A VETERAN.

Positively the belle of the ball during the reunion was MT. Lockhart of Ope- lika. He entertained an admiring circle of listeners wherever he was-at the re- ception at the Council Chamber. at the barbecue at Jacksons Lake, and at all the gatherings. He is S3 years old, and tells innumerable war stories in most interesting manner. He is a beautiful composite picture of Father Time and Santa Claus. With his flowing snow white beard, his keen clear eyes, erect figure, and voice full of kindly sympathy to all humanity. he is a wholesome per sonallty. He tells with such justifiable pride of how, as a boy, he won the belle of South Carolina. Miss Mary Webb and added. And I've got her yet She Is af- f1icted and can't get about, but love her same as ever" He told of how his con science hurt him when he thought of com- ing to Montgomery and having "a good time" and leaving her at home, and Of how he went out and bought her basket of good things-sausage, fruit and all sorts of good things, and bade her have good time while he was gone.
 Mir. Lockhart expressed himself as hap py that the women of the South are en- deavoring to hand correct history down to the soldiers children and children's children. Bless them for it," he said, as he tied his beard into a knot.

THr future Of the democrati

The future of the democratic
party can easily be guessed by any
one who notes with any degree of
care the course and progress ofcur
rent political affairs. That all
elements of opposition to the
theories and practices of the party
of the trusts, are gradually uniting,
is plainly to be seen. And by the
time another presidential election
is to be held, all such elements will
be firmly united, and standing to-
gether upon platform of purely
American principles will march to
certain victory. And well may
this be the case, for never since the
foundation of this government, has
legislation been enacted so directly
in the interests of the capitalists
and against the laboring and pro-
ducing classes, as at this time.
Capital in almost all important en-
terprises has sought combination;
and such combinations, are not
only without restraint by law, but
every protection and encouragement
is given to them by the congress of
the United States under the pres.
ent administration. AS a re-
suit of such legal protection and
encouragement, prices of all things
manufactured or controlled by such
combinations, or trusts, range high
er than at any time in the past.
BY reason of the trusts that con-
troll the manufacture of farm i'm
plements, prices of everything in
that line have gone up from fifty to
one hundred or more per cent
The same is true of the combina-
tions that control the manufacture
of barbed wire, an article so neces-
sary to the farming classes of the
country. They have forced up the
price of this product nearly one
hundred per cent in the last -four
years. And the same is true in re-
gard to -four, bacon, lard, canned
goods of all kinds, clothing, furni'
ture and everything in fact that is
made by or under the control Of
such combinations, or trusts, The
inevitable result Of such legisla-
ton, will be to unite all elements
that feel the oppression of the
trusts, and self interest and self
protection will compel the labor
ing and producing classes to come
together and stand together in OPP
position to the party that has fos-
tered and protected such combina-
tions; and when they do unite and
stand together in defense of their
common interests, victory will be
the result.
