No Church at Wahouma.

There's no Protestant church at Wahou- ma. i''7 got so hampered with Rowling dignity, heavy renown, Sarcophagus to remorse- No scphulCher for sni 'unconfessed"- No monument to good undone, But there's select congregation there,
 All In one And in correction of what the type has done I'll indulge in a few more warm re- marks
 About the onlyest one. I didn't say the commonplace trim, AS the type made me say, But the exaulted "trinen, Which applies to soul body and mind And not the fashion of a day. l said this-The combine was divine, And in this brief way
 Tried all to tell But, for some, I failed to say That her hair was plentiful In color much like mine Teeth white, lips the feature,
 Full, yet fine. The admiration, love, almost adoration.
 They compel, Show where wise men draw
 And angels dwell. Her eyes were fair yet filled with fire That fire which Is soothing. slumbers.
 But in action thunders That fire which makes
 Lurid light, Black as midnight and bright as sun light. All"t Il which sweetens the darkness
 or both day and night; I, mat nre which to woman is life To man is leaven, Making err Nbere thic batI
 Take In the other heaven. Chambermaids are trim" | said, she was a Trine. --Mind-Body-S Each expressive, each prominent,
 Yet part of a perfect whole. l said divine for only the divine
 Could plan her. Divine, for the beauty divine
 Was visible within her
 She looked like Juno and moved
 like Danal Yet there's more to tell: The form in which
 The spirit shone- Limbed and lined and in tone,
 Was like our Godess on her
 throne.
 The great liberty belle. And yet! there's more to tell: When this world Is heaven. And there's no more of hell,
 With supernal joy in earthly
 bliss,
 Love at home at last, in this When all is well and all is welli Then. in angelic joy intending, Like the breath of blossoms
 Blending; Like the prayers of saints
 Ascending; Like the rainbows
 Seven hued glory"
 Our souls in union dwell, Therell still be more, yes more! Of love to tell, of love to tell, Of love to tell Now since eyes of love Cannot consume her. The word of truth As I've heard Christian Scientists say,
 Will surely doom her. But what's as much or more to me,
 I've heard her say,
 Like linked sweetness, Put me off at Wahouma," And her voice was modulated limpid,
 Entrancing sound! Like the Goddess of liberty, Yet round, Like the chimes of the angels
 Coming down And what's as much or more to her, She hears me pray Oh, allah, God, To the sweetest fate do doom her
 Put me on at Wahouma. February 2, 1901

They Should Consider.
the Huntsville Democrat.

From the Huntsville Democrat.
 On the 9th of March, the people will nominate delegates in a Democratic pri- mary for the constitutional convention. No more important act has been done by the people for years than this. Yet we have not heard of a single candidate pro- claiming to the people his views on a single proposition. Is it not time that the people will know where they are at?' Grave and important questions will be debated in the constitutional convention.
The age-herald., 1901-02-28

Have those candidates studied any one of these questions from an economic standpoint, and prepared themselves for voting intelligently upon them VIII they favor the present exemptions, the present limit of taxation, so wisely put in the fundamental law by the constitution makers in 1875: will there be a change in our judicial system? These and num- Der of equally important subjects will be considered, and the people would like to know the attitude of our proposed delegates thereon.

Should Have a Fair.

From the Huntsville Democrat.
 When Madison County had an annual agricultural fair, there was a steady inn provement in farm products and stock of all kinds, and a great deal of good was accomplished. What has become of our Farmers Club? Has 1t fallen into inoc- cuous desuetude? Our country friends should bestir themselves.

Sensible Advice.

From the Eufaula Times. -t
 The fruit culture in Alabama should be better looked after than 1t has been. Every one, owning a farm. should have an orchard and be able to supply the markets of the county with fruit. It does not take up much land, but it will require attention to make good paying orchard. The mere setting out the tree and thinls- ing the work done is a mistake. It needs cultivation as well as any crop raised to make 1t productive

Statesman Without a Birthday.

StateSman Without Birthday.
 "Either today or tomorrow ought to he the birthday anniversary of the Hon. Francis Patrick OBrien, the distin- guished legislator of Jefferson, but neither day can be so designated. Captain O'Brien having been born on the 29th day of February, and there being no such date in this year. nor any eduiva- lent of 1t, the day being non-existent, or rather existent in a small part that can- not be recorded separately on the call endar' said one who is of the multitude devoted to "old man Frank"
 "Only twelve birthday celebrations have been enjoyed by this notable man, the calendar having provided him with but q common dozen Dirt hdaya' since the day he was born. fifty-seven years ago, and in his sixtieth year he will have his boyish little thirteenth anniversary.
 That hard luck. or good luck, as you will, comes about in this manner. Cap tain O'Brien was four years old when he celebrated his first birthday, and every fourth year thereafter he enjoyed a sim liar celebration until, and including, Feb ruary 9 1896 Owing to the intricacies of the great Pope Gregory's calendar, under which we live, or rather owing to the shifting of the seasons through the centuries, there was no time with which to make a twenty day for February. 1900, and there can be no such day until 1904 Hence, Captain O'Brien has in the fifty-seven years of his honored and charming life enjoyed but a little dozen birthday celebrations.
 Shortly after his fifth birthday. this Alabama statesman was welded to his gracious and lovely sweetheart. and from that time onward In the happy course of their slngularly faithful and devoted lives merged into one life, that old sweet heart of his has taken a sweet and wifely pride in providing a merry celebration of his natal day. The privilege has come to her, who faithfully waited, but seven times In all the years. Yet perhaps the happiness of it was all the greater.
 An old Confederate soldier, with a Confederate soldiers proud record, Is this Alabamian. and his fifth birthday ami versary came to him In the mighty shock of battle About that time he was wounded almost unto death by a shot from the enemy, and he for the first time passed from the fighting line of his people.
 it is related of one of Captain O Briens warm hearted and impulsive race, who was born in the last hour of December, that he declared in after years:
 :" Faith, an if I'd waited thirty-wan minyutes father I'd niver bin barn at all at allv
 Captain OBrien, having waited till the twenty-ninth of February before looking upon the scenes of this earth, he is, generally speaking, man without d birthday."

Arrested i'm Mobile for swindIing
VaIdosta Merchants


Valdosta, Ga, April IA pretty young
,Jewess giving her name as Mrs Robert
H. Garrett was arrested in Mobile last
night at the instance of officers of this
city on the charge of cheating and swind-
ling. Sheriff Passmore left to-day for
Mobile to accompany the fair visitor to
this city to answer the charge against
her. The young woman was here last
week in company with young man who
was supposed to be her husband. She
bought lot of dry goods at store here
giving a check on a New York bank in
payment and receiving change in money
to the amount of thirty dollars.
AS soon as she got out of the store
the merchant telegraphed to New York
to inquire about the check and the bank
wired back that it was no good. Yester-
day a draft came from her on the Citi-
zens Bank of this city for forty-hve dol
lars from Mobile. and reports came that
she had played similar games at Selma
and other places. Her arrest was Or
dered and the chief of police received no.
tice to-day that she was in custody at
Mobile.
The young woman is said to be a Miss
Cohen, formerly of Brunswick, her faith
er living in Atlanta. She is said to have
been the central figure in a municipal
sensation in Atlanta three years ago "a
prominent official of that city being also
involved.
Sheriff Passmore made a raid on some
gamblers last night and arrested nine
wellknown white men. They were en-
gagged in crap shooting when the sher-
if entered the room and he arrested the
entire party. The officers have pretty
well broken up the colored crap shoot
ers" here, and now they are turning their
attention to those in higher life.
