A Grand Success for the Ladies' Aid soci-
ETY. 50 Baskets Bring slle-Lots Of
Fun and a Very Interesting Evening
A Big Crowd in Attendance.

Jensen hall was well filled at
the occasion of the basket social
given there last Friday evening.
under the auspices of the Ladies'
Aid Society. The opening exer-
cises consisted of II character read-
ing by Judge Blood which was
very fine. and heartily a%pplauded.
{. l.. Jensen sang "A solo and was
encored heartily. Little Grace
Johnston. the four year old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Johnston.
sang a solo that brought down the
house. Little Gertrude Galbraith
delivered a splendid childs story
of the death of her doll, which
met with a storm of applause. a
class under the guidance of Prof.
j. X. Rollmnn sang n couple of
pieces of music. The Orchestra
under the leadership of H. q.
Wilcox, favored the audience with
a couple of splendid pieces of
music TO the delight of the entire
crowd. Miss May Galhraith and
Miss Eula Neff sang a duet which
was received with marked favor.
The girls have very sweet voices
and Miss Eula's alto was n very
pleasant accompaniment TO the
soft soprano of Miss May.
After the exercises the auction
ing off of the baskets, which had
been arrayed on tables, in the gal
lery, in full view of the audience,
with c. +. Jensen as auctioneer.
began and the very first basket
put up brought S1.50 From the
first the bidding was spirited and
some of the baskets brought fancy
figures. Mrs. a. j. Doggett's
basket brought ST and that of
Mrs. G. +. Jensen IS. Many of
them we're run up to 50 or So and
the average price was remarkable.
1t was ll:30 O'Clock before the
last basket had been sold, but the
more fortunate ones had long since
hunted up their partners and pro-
ceeded to share with them the
good things which the baskets
contained. The lounging and
smoking room had been turned
into Il utility room and i'll it the
ladies' of the Aid Society made
delicious coffee, which was served
to all who cared for the beverage.
This is the first basket social
held in this city for some time
and the people enjoyed it so much
that it is quite likely there will
be more in the near future. Every
one present voted the gathering
IA success. both socially and finan-
cialiy. Many amusing things oc-
CARED aud jollity and general
good nature held sway curing the
entire evening.
The Ladies' Aid Society will
clear over $50 after all expences
are paid, We understand that
Mr.. Jensen kindly donated the
use of the hall for the occasion,
which generosity was certainly
very much appreciated.

Negro Woman Finds Daughter Whom She Thought Dead
TAKEN BY SLAVE DEALER
While Going to a Spring for Water She Was Taken to Montgomery With Gang of Slaves-Wrties
 Letter of Explanation.

Selma, January 1.-(SpeciaD-There Is living at Marion Junction in this county colored woman who up to a few weeks ago was mourned as dead for the past thirty-nine years by her old mother Louisa Harwell of Wetumpka. The old mother is 95 years of age and in the year 1868 lost one of her children when the latter was thirteen years old. There Is grave Just out side of Wetumpka which has always been looked upon as that of Jennie Harwell the lost girl who mysteriously disappeared.
 Learning that the identity of the wo- man had recently been brought to light letter was written to her a few days ago and today she received the letter of which we print an exact copy, telling of her disappearance:
 "In regards to the answer of your re- quest concerning my leaving Wetumpka. My master during the war was MT. Sam uel Harwell and his wifes name was An geline Harwell. During the war or about the ending of it they sent me to the spring on MT. Sam Harwell's plantation to get some water and l met with two white men with about 13 more colored people with them and they demanded me to get in the gang with the other colored people and I did so at once and we went from that place to Montgomery and there we staid and shelled corn for the gov ernment three days and after that we left there and came to Selma by way of the boat and when we arrived in Selma we received the news that we were free and there where we all separated and I remained in Selma until I was grown aud left there and moved to Marion Junction Alabama Dallas Co., and I married man by the name of Simon Powell in Marion Junction beat and he died about 20 years ago and l have been staying right about the same place ever since.
 My name before I married was Jennie Harwell, my mothers name was Louisa Harwell. l did never know my father. My oldest sisters is name Henretta liar well, my next sister is Cresie Harwel, my next sisters name Lousinda Harwel and my youngest sisters name was Mar iah Harwell and my oldest brothers name was Paul Harwell. l did not know my youngest brothers name but they call ed him Rabbit and this is all I know about my mothers children for any other information I am unable to give I was about 13 years old when I left Wetump- ka.

POOR WIDOW FALLS
 HEIR TO FORTUNE
MRS. LoULIE HANSON OF MONT GOMERY WILL RECEIVE LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM A GERMAN ESTATE.

Montgomery, January 1.-(Special)- Mrs. Loulie Hanson, a destitute widow, resid- ing in this city will inherit a vast for : tune from the parents of her deceased husband. The Hansons resided i'll Ger many and all died few months ago.
 Former Governor Joseph F. Johnston of Birmingham has been managing the correspondence for the settlement of the estate, and the first information tEat the conveyed to her this morning by Chief of Police Gerald.
 The notification came through letter from ex-Governor Joseph F. Johnston. The letter from Governor Johnston in structed Chief Gerald to find Mrs. Han son and tell her that fortune had been left her. The governor enclosed the cor respondence that he had with the Ameri- can consul at Hamburg and who had been looking after the interest of the Mont gomery widow. The letter of Governor Johnston also contained blanks and direc- tions for making necessary proofs There is no mist Whatever the fortune Is, 1t will come to Mrs. Hanson who has been sometimes in actual need.
 The fortune was leIL Dy the parents of MT. Hanson, her husband. She Is an American but her husband was g. German. He left the old country in his young manhood and came to America. Here he met and married his wife. They always had a rather hard struggle. He died sev- eral years ago. His widow has had precarious struggle with odds against her.
 His people in Germany were well to do. Just how much of the estate will come to Mrs. Hanson cannot yet be told. Its value was not mentioned in the letter which the American consul wrote ex-Governor Johnston. From the correspondence it Is seen that it has a considerable value. Whatever its value may be it would hardly come to one who needs it worse than the rightful heir
 It appears that Mrs. Hanson had at one time expected her good fortune. She knew that her husbands parents were wealthy and she expected property from the estate. The estate was large man. sion in Hamburg surrounded by spacious grounds. It was valued at over 21000. There are three heirs and Mrs. Hanson share will be s700O
 Two years ago she gave up all hope of getting the property. Governor John ston interested himself in the matter and succeeded.

 ALABAMA BAPTIST
OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE BAP- TIsT DENOMINATION IN ALA BAMA SELLS FOR $75oo = MAY COME HERE.

Montgomery, January 1.-(Special )-An important change in newspaper owner ship of Alabama was the sale today of the Alabama Baptist to Rev. Frank Will lis Barnett of Birmingham The consider ation was s75oO. MT. Barnett is one of the best known young ministers in the south He is gentleman of wide education and information. Baptists all over the state were greatly interested in the announce ment some weeks ago that MT. Barnett would start a Baptist paper in Birming- ham, It is understood that at that time there had been some negotiations between MT. Barnett and Major Harris for the purchase of the Alabama Baptist, but the negotiations fell through.
 MT. Barnett said this afternoon: q have not yet decided whether I will pub fish paper in Montgomery. After purch- asing the Baptist from Major Harris I telegraphed for my publishers to meet me here. My plans will be announced after l have consulted with them.'
 The Alabama Baptist is the official or gan for the Baptist denomination in Alabama, though it was the personal property of Major John G. Harris. Its circulation is about 5000.
