Must Get Together.

President Roosevelt indicates that the whites, blacks and tans must get togeth- CT before they can expect any help from him. He wants a urbon of all the Repub- licans long enough to be elected in 19O4- Huntsville Mercury.
 In other words, he cares but little how much throat-cutting they do, provided they keep their blades out of his cuticle. If the negroes insist on being counted and represented, and can carry their point, Roosevelt will have no difficulty about carrying the South, we predict.

New Delivery System for DEBORAH.

For some time therelhas been move
ment on foot among the business men
of the city, especially the grocers, to
organize regular delivery system, by
giving the whole matter into the
charge of some company. Messrs.
Thomas Davis and Melvin Enger have
formed a partnership fer this work
and have made contracts with nearly
all the merchants to do their deliver
ing. Mr.. Davis will have charge of
the delivering and Mr.. Enger Will
look after the business of the firm
Both are thoroughly competent and
obliging young men and no doubt will
give the best of satisfaction. The
new regime will commence Sept 10Th,
and there will be four deliveries each
day, two in the morning and two in
the afternoon They will have three
or four outfits running, and it is be-
lieved that this will be great i'm
provement over the old system. Un-
der this method housekeepers will
need only to order goods in time, and
they will know Just what time of the
day to expect them, and besides goods
ordered from different stores will be
delivered at the same time 1t will
probably prove very popular scheme
both with the dealer and consumer.

spent some time before her grand
fathers death at the latter's home
and is well known by the residents of

actress of wide reputation, and has
been touring the country with her

cured one of her photographs and have
reproduced it upon the cover page of
the novel entitled "The Discarded
Daughter" which records the melo-
dramic deeds of heroine. Miss
Crescy AYERS that her photo was pub
lished without her knowledge or con-
sent, that it has damaged her reputa-
ton and placed her in a false light be-
fore the public, and asks $50, 900 dam
