MAJOR MOREY DEAD.

The Birmingham, Selma and New Orleans Establishes . Schedule Between Linden and the Gen.

Advertiser Bureau, ],

AQVcTti8er 6ufe6u,
 Selma, Feb. IS.
 The city was. called upon yesterday to mourn the death of another one of it's best citizens. Major R. R. Morsy passed away after being confined to his bed fer several weeks. He made | gallant fight against death and cheeredl those around his bedside by telling them that he was going to pull through and get well. It was his great will power and determination to live that prolonged his Major Mercy was one of Selma's best citizens. He was 70 years old at the time of his death, but looked many years younger. He was born in Southwest New quite young man. From there he trav- eled across the continent when the gold fever broke out. He came to Selma short ly after the war between the States and engaged in business and at once stamped the impress of his honest, upright char acter on the community. in which he had located. He married Mrs. J. D. Monk, the mother of MT. W. s. Monk. and the devotion of these two men has been some thing beautiful to behold. Mrs. Morey died in 1886, and ever since then Major Mercy has lived in MT. Monks home. Mir. Monk never knew any other father and the affection existing between the two could not have been any more genu- inc if they had been really father and son.
 When Mir. Will Monk married and lit- tie children came to bless and gladden. his home, Major Mercy took them to his bosom as f they had been of blood kin to him. and his influence over these little ones will be, felt by them as long as they live. It was beautiful sight to see Mir. Monks children gather about his knees and listen to his stories of the long ago.
 Major Morey was an elder in the Ala bama Street Presbyterian Church and was a great worker for the Master in quiet way. He taught a Sunday School class in that church for a long time and did . great deal of good
 Major Mercy was an exceedingly mod est man and his good deeds were done not to be applauded of man. He was so quiet and unassuming that he was known only by sight to a great many, but like the deep stream, he moved along quietly on his way. His character was beautiful. his home life gentle his busi- ness career spotless. He lived out his ale lotted number of years and then, like a weary child falling to sleep after a day of restless play, he folded his eyes in eternal sleep. No man ever lived in Sell ma who possessed, the respect of his fellow man in a higher, degree and when he died of a truth 1t can be said that one, of the purest. best, most honorable citizens has passed away. ,t

 By Andrew James Miller.

The Advertiser never conceived a sweeter fancy. nor more rehned and el- den Contest now in vogue. It is truly an encoura cement to fall into harmony with nature, which has so lavishly pro- vided the ways and means for the propH- gallon. dispersion and perpetuation of many of her most beautiful forms. A beautiful flower garden not only gives gladness to the eye, but with gracious odors and transcendent forms of beauty, it helps to refine the taste. strengthen good impulses and give elevation to the recent vandalism of embryonic gardens here recalls an observation of many years ago in a Western city. gentle man and his wife. who were great lov- play of early ones in their small garden. but it was on a street which was daily frequented by a crowd of thoughtless street Arabs. For a time the tempta- ton was irresistible 'or these lawless na- lures, to purloin the budding crocuses and hyacinths and the ardor of the cul- tivaters was cooled and they were much discouraged. But, as the season ad- beautiful roses burst into full fruition and multitudes of other flowers deco rated every nook of the garden. and re- mained unmolest ed. The crowd of rag amuffins would daily stop and gaze in- tently upon these gorgeous floral beau- ties, but the inclination for theft was gone The kindling eye and wistful look bore witness to the charm of beauty over their rude natures, In this aimos, unconscious way. the thieving hand was stopped and the germ of more honest impulses was planted in their hearts It was thus that the garden became one of the best clements in their daily edu- cation.
 Indeed when we con. emplate the glory. transcendent hues and fragrance of the flower kingdom. we can dlmly appreciate the reverence and homage paid them by many of the old pagan nations. The an cient Egyptians had tradition that at a certain period. men rebelled against the gods and drove them out of Heaven. ITpon this disaster occurring, the gods fled into Egypt where they concealed themselves in the form of different flow CTS, and this fact was assigned for their flower worship In fact, the floral king dom has furnished the inspiration Tor , the grandest prose and poetry of all ages. and has enriched literature with nnmberless immortal contributions.

Prospecting for gold makes husky men even if they don't always find the gold Sometimes these men can tell interesting tales.
 Joseph Morehead whose headquarters are in Engln. Ore, writes: Last Fall came down here, attracted by the rich strikes in the Baker City fields.

 'I had, a short time before. been pro- specting with an old mountaineer in the Bitter Root range in Montana. He was an enthusiast on the subject of Grape Nuts and Postum Coffee. In fact. he lived on them. I used to josh him about his grub, but soon grew to like it myself and finally got to eating Grape Nuts three times day and as much oftener as I got the chance.
 "SO with my former experience in mind I got five packages of Grape-Nuts and some packages of Postum Coffee which, with a little sugar and salt were all the supplies I took with me. and for nine days laborious climbing over the rough est country out of doors l had no'1ing else except an occasional trout caught from the stream. came back feeling first class and am offering to bet that | can average thirty miles day over mountain trails with thirty pounds or blankets, etc, on nothing but Grape Nuts"
