The Farmers wife.

The work OF the farmer has been

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Feb. 4. , Speaking of his recent trip to Wash ington, Captain " B. Atkins said. ,s washington Is certainly the Mecca for the negro. They are in evidence ev- anywhere. And they are impudent too. They walk over you if you don't get out of the way. We took meal or two in the Senate restaurant and they look like they own the place. They are no re- spector of persons, either. They will brush aside a Senator as quickly as they will an ordinary visitor. One of them gave us some impotence while in the restaurant. Walter Shafer thought he was in Selma and 1t was all we could do to keep him from taking a chair to the in solent waiter. But after that we had no trouble. Those negroes knew Shafer as soon as he came in the restaurant. After that those coons could not be too polite to us. They took up notion that he was from Texas and they did not know how soon he was going to draw his six-shooter and do little gun practice on them. l only wish that we could send abont 2 900 of the most trifiing negroes that we have in Selma to Washington. Frog could head the procession. If we could get rid of that many there would be more room for the honest. industrious members of that race to make living and do well.'

A NEGRO MURDERED
Jensy Miles Slain With a Brickbat
 in Her Cabin.

Prattville. Feb. 3.-(SpeciaD-Farme are buying fertilizers for spring use. and while there is not so large a quantity being sold as was the case last year, there will be a goodly use of 1t in this conty.
 Jensy Miles. negress living on the Pope place. on the Alabama River, was found dead in her cabin yesterday morning about g o'clock, and suspicion fell upon Reuben Tyus. her sweetheart. He was accordingly held until a Coro- ners jury met and partially investigated his case. Finding no evidence against him. he was released. The jury has not made up its verdict yet, having adjourn ed the session till Friday.
 It appears from the best testimony produced before the Coroner's inquest. that Reuben Tyus went by Jensys house early Sunday morning and called to her to let him in, but he had no response: and thinking perhaps that she heard him but did not want him to come in. he passed on to a neighbor's house. The murderer evidently committed the deed in the cabin of Jensy by striking her on the head with a brickbat, as blood was found on the hearth of her house. The body was placed on the bed and the doors were closed. The murderer left the house by a window. Suspicion rests on another negro who has not been seen since the deed was committed.

Reprimanded Jurors.

Yesterday when the City Court was called to order five or six of the jurors were tardy. Judge Mabry waited on them for nearly an hour and when they did come in he gave them a severe reprimand for being late. It is a great wonder that he did not impose heavy fine on them. But those jurors to whom Judge Mabry administered that rebuke will not be late any more. Some of them were pretty badly scared when he called them up before the court to tell why they had been slow in arriving. Next time they will know better, for Judge Mabry, In the goodness of his heart, did not impose a fine this time. but the offense had better not be repeated.
