LOOPING THE LOOP.
Diavolo's Act a Feature of Fore
paurh-Sells Circus.

Diavolo's Act Feature OF Fore
paugh-Sells Circus.
Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers
united shows are exploiting feature this
season which eclipses in point OF sheer
daring anything ever attempted in any
arena. 1t is the famous Diavolo In his
looping the loop on 2 bicycle, an act
which created the profoundest sensation
in New York, city and Philadelphia and
ELECTED more praise and was given more
space in the metropolitan press than
any single act ever presented to the pub
lie.
Looping the loop is described as dan
ger-deriding apd death-defying. which is
as near correct as words can make It.
From the extreme height of the canvas
dome Diavolo makes a thrilling descent
down the narrow plane on bicycle and
the momentum thus gained carries him
around the loop at a terrific rate OF
speed. At the top of the loop both the
rider and wheel are upside down and
going at the rate of 40 miles an hour. II
is a hair-raising act and one that all
should see, as 1t gives practical demon
stration OF the first scientific lesson OF
youth-the swinging in a circle of buck
ct full of water without splitting.
The date of the show here is Wednes-
day November 5.

City Policemen Happy.

The city policemen and other employees
of Selma wore happy expressions on their
countenances this morning, for a rumor
had gotten afioat that Mayor Mcleod
had made financial arrangements where
by the city excheouer, which has had an
empty void for sometime. would get
enough money dropped into it to pay off
the employees. Selma is about five months
behind with the pay roll, and many of
the police officers have to discount their
monthly pay at an enormous sacrifice
in order to get the wherewith to keep the
wolf from the door If Mayor Mcleod
should succeed in getting the money TO
pay the citys employees, he would earn
their everlasting grt titude, for many of
them say that they are sorely in need
of what is due them.

Broke Ground for Mil.

Ground was broken this morning near
the old Franklin warehouse for the
hardwood saw and planning mill Of the
Schuh-Miller Lumber Company. A score
of hands were at work unloading the
heavy machinery from the cars and car
rying it to where it will be placed in
position as soon as the brick foundations
can be completed.
This will be one of the most complete
mills in this section of the State and
will have an output of $4,000 to 10000 feet
of lumber per day. A tramway and
steam hoist will be put in, SO that the
timber f1oated to the mill can be carried
to the saw, cut into merehantable shape,
and then let down to the water again,
where it will be fioated in RATS or put
on barges and carried to deep water at
Mobile.
= This mill, when completed and in opera
ton, will employ about twenty-five or
thirty hands around the mill and others
will be in the river and creek bottoms
cutting down the timber to be conveyed
by water to the mill. The proprietors
of the mill have been quietly buying up
all the hard wood timber lands that they
could get and they inform your CORES
pondent that they have about secured
enough timber lands to run their mill for
four years, at least. The proprietors of
the mill are greatly pleased with their
reception by the citizens Of Selma.

A LITTLE ACCIDENT
Saved a Lot of Money.

Food that will safely and surely carry
a man through exhausting mental work
is worth kne wing Of.
A man in st, Louis. Mo. says: "In
my work. It is necessary to. begin at
seven o'clock and work straight through
without lunch until two p. m. You can
readily see that this is strain on the
ordinary person. and I was frequently
worn out and sick with hunger and weak
ness. On numerous occasions whom two
o'clock came round I was so utterly
exhausted and unstrung as to- he forced
TO lose the remainder of the day, and
that carried with it loss Of money.
The first package Of Grape-Nuts came
into our house a little over year ago by
accident There has been one h. design
ever since that time. Almost immedi-
ately after beginning to use Grape-Nuts,
l felt its good effect in my ability to work
those long hours in comfort. There was
no sickness or weakness. and no loss of
time from exhaustion. In my business.
it is also necessary to work every We'd
nesday night of each week. The change
from day to night work and then back
again is certainly no light call on the
reserve force OF any one, and my inva-
riable preparation for this task is a gen.
erous saucer of Grape-Nuts and cream, a
light lunch but a most sustaining one.
An old friend was visiting me r NIFTY.
and while eating the evening meal,
was extollng Grape-Nuts to him. He
rather doubted the deliciousness of the
food. My three children, aged four, six
and eight years. were at the time watch
ing a large cream cake on the table. and
enjoying in anticipation the treat.
asked the three which they would prefer
for dessert-cream cake or Grape-Nuts.
without hesitation they answered in
chorus, 'Grape-Nuts.' My friend was
convinced.
The only breakfast the children have
is Grape-Nuts and rich milk, and you
could not find a more healthy trio. "

BURIAL ASSOCIATION
NEGROES PERFECT A GOOD Or
GANIZATION.
Small Assessments Levied to Give
Proper Care to the Dead-H.
A. Loveless One of the
Promoters.

A number of the most prominent me-
grces of Montgomery nave organized a
Mutual Burial Association" which they
well describe as The Poor Mans Best
Friend"
The Burial Association is a business in
stitution, organized by business men, but
still 1t carries with 1t many charitable
features.
III. A. Loveless one of the promoters
of the Association and highly respected
colored citizen, said last night that in
his opinion the Association was one of
the greatest boons known to the colored
population of Montgomery. The Associa-
ticn, he stated, works on the following
principle: A man joins the Association.
IIe pays an initiation fee of % cents. On
the death of a member of the Association
he pays Is cents to defray the expenses
of the burial in case the deceased is an
adult. II child, he pays 10 cents So,
with comparatively little expense to any
one, the member Is given a 800 burial.
On the other hand. If he dies, the off,
GERS of the Association are notified and
the. deceased is given a burial free of
expense to his family. A full benefit
membership with $50 burial outfit can
be secured for an initiation fee of Is
cents.
The Association now has between 800
and 900 members Its membership list
is growing daily. 1t was organized in
August last.
The promoters hold that the white peo-
pie of Montgomery should encourage
their employees to join the Association.
Frequently the poverty of the servant
compes the white employer to bury him.
But if the employee is member of the
Burial Association the employer may hold
himself free of any duty toward the de-
ceased servant.
The poorest man may join the Associa-
ton and with little inconvenience to him
self get for himself or the ones he loves,
burial to be despised by none.
The officers of the Association are me-
groes of ability and financial standing. II
is endorsed by all of the colored minis
tiers of Montgomery.
The headquarters of the Association
are at the office of II. A. Loveless, Pa
N. Perry Street.
The officers are as follows: ]. w.
Adams, President; H. A. Loveless. Vice

Selma, Oct. Is.
The past week has been a quiet one in
Selma so far as business Ia concerned.
Merchants and other business men com
plain that trade has been very dull.
Those who keep up with current events
think that the short cotton crop Is 60
ing to make matters very dull from now
on and that business will not open
briskly until farming operations COM
mence in the spripg. On account Of the
short crop negroes will have close living
through the winter, but on account OF
the scarcity of farm labor planters will
have to make arrangements to feed them
all through the cold weather in order
to keep them on their farms.
An innovation In the way of getting
farm labor was instituted last week.
Two young men who control several
thousand acres of farm lands have got
ten out circulars AMI put advertisements
in the papers. setting forth how many
acres of land they had. describing the
tenement houses, and asking for labor
for the ensuing year. Its novelty at
tracted attention and caused a good deal
of comment. 1t is said that other plant
ers will resort to this means to call at
tention to their lands. Advertising pays
business men and the planter has just
as much right to advertise his lands as
has the merchant his wares and the Gus
tom of using printers ink to procure la
