Bay Minette. Nov. S.-(Special)- )-Since the fast fiier which brings the Eastern mail was put on. the people of Bay Min cite and North Baldwin have been kick ing about the mail service. not because we get mail from the fast train, but be- cause L. & N. train No. 5. which passes here at 1928, stopped bringing mall.

melee said that when, he came to Selma ten years ago. he was comparatively a young man, but since the death of Mir. Golson day before yesterday. he had become the Nestor of the Selma pres.
 He touched on the fact that at times his satirical pen had caused pain to his conferees on the press. but in all of his controversies with the departed and present members of the profession in this city. he harbored nothing but love and affection for members of the profession.
 He then told the conductors that he had been a roommate of the toastmastei whiie they were members of the Legisla- ture; that he had voted with MT. Riggs for every railroad measure that he had espoused and investigated its merits af- terwards.
 R. E. l.. Neil. although . comparatively young man, responded to the toast to the ladies In an eloquent and appropriate manner He alluded feelingly and ten derly to the fact that the noble wives of tho conductors of this city suffered agon- ies on dark. dreary. rainy nights when the protectors were out on their runs, and that many a prayer ascended to the throne of grace from the lips and hearts of these good women, asking Gods bless tngs on the absent ones. and praying for their safe return to their homes and fam lilies.
 Mir. Mel has lived in an. atmosphere of railroad men, his father and brother both being connected with railroads and as he called over a long list of conductors he had known as a boy. a hush came over the assembled guests and the thoughts of all were carried back to the time when the departed ones were on earth.
 He talked not only of the wives of the conductors but the conductors who did not have wives, and every eye in the room was turned on Postmaster Riggs. whe is a confirmed old bachelor. MT. Niefs remarks were happily conceived. and went straight to the hearts of his hear CTS. He wound up his speech with the toast, The ladies. God bless them" which was heartily received.
 There were several other toasts on the program. but they were not responded to on account of those to whom the subjects had been assigned being absent attend ing to their railroad duties. It was de llghtfui evening and everything passed off without a single thing to mar the happiness of the occasion.

village until Friday and then pussing q
few days ip visiting relatives ut Adrian

regrets are expressed that Flushing

ern home.

most varied and costly ever shown at a
wedding in the place and consisted Of
cut glass, silver, china, elaborate needle

Travelisg Aggregation Of Female Ball Players
Billed to Play Here Sunday.

The New England Bloomer Girls, an
aggregation of feminine loveliness who
disport themselves upon the diamond,
are advertised to play with the home
club next Saturday evening and Sunday
afternoon. Already there has been a
great call upon Manager Sparkling for
places upon the local team and every
player who ever donned Red Lodge
uniform is anxious to be upon the
diamond when the game is called. Man
ager Sparkling sees an opportunity to
swell the treasury Of the local team by
offering the positions to the highest bid
ders and If this is done there is no doubt
but what large sum will be realized.
The Bloomers bring their own umpire
in the person of Frank James, the at one
time noted desperate, and advertise to
play the Saturday evening game by the
light furnished by an electric plant
which they carry with them.
