TO ALL PERSONS HAVING
Farming, Timbered or Mineral
Lands, or Water Powers
for Sale.

The Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis Railway proposes to use its best
efforts to induce good class of immi
grants to settle in territory contiguous
TO its lines, and attention of capitalists
seeking Manufacturing Sites or Mining
Property. 1t therefore solicits the sup
port the cooperation and the assistance
of the people of every county through
which its lines pass. The management
earnestly requests that all persons who
have farms for sale or lease, those who
have timbered lands, wateB powers or
mineral lands for sale, will send brief
description of the same to the railroad
agent nearest them, giving the prices
and terms of sale. The prices must
correspond with the prices asked of 10.
cal buyers. The management does not
propose to aid in selling land to immi-
grants at exorbitant or speculative pri.
ces.
Large tracts suitable for colonization,
at low prices, are especially wanted

North Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 1s.-
(Special) There was a trolly ride given
at this place on the night of the 9th
inst for the benefit of the Baptist
church of North Birmingham, and we
certainly did enjoy ourselves. There
was about 200 in the crowd and we all
all cracked jokes, played 'possom pie
and other games. We went to East
Lake back to town and from there to
Gate City and then to North Birming-

of his life for her; Savernake's coming
and his proposal, the attitude of the

He had hurried on with torrent of
words that yet could scarce keep pace
with his passionate anxiety to get it all
over now it was begun. He had fallen
on his own sword, and he was in haste
that it should pierce the vital part and
make an end.
At first as he talked Anne kept her
eyes upon him, her breath coming
quickly, her lips apart, her fingers
tightly interlaced in her lap.
But at last she covered her face with
