Our New Mail and Train Service.

For it we owe a debt of thanks and
gratitude to seven business men of Paw
Paw. At the first notice of the change
of time Oh the p. NJ, which has caused
so much disgust, these gentlemen were
asked to get together and devise some
method to get back a better service.
They went to work promptly, acted per-
sistently and in a gentlemanly way. A
carefully worded letter was formed and
sent to the officials of the r.. NJ. railroad.
The answer received was not altogether
satisfactory, but it led up to the meet.

evidenced by the new time card which
went into effect July %.
These seven gentlemen and business
men met the official of the j. NJ, who
also was a gentleman, and he expressed
himself as greatly pleased by the recep-
ton he met with at the hands of the
committee. By this meeting Paw Paw
and its business affairs are now better
understood by the p. M. officials, who
will no doubt give us better service in
all branches, plenty of cars to ship our
products and a mail and train service
that will be satisfactory to all. Our watch

Bloomingdale played return game
here Tuesday, and were defeated in a
pitchers battle. The only unsatisfactory
feature was the fact that Paw Paw won
the game without hit, an unearned run
being let id by the only two errors made
by Bloomingdale-a couple of wild
throws to bases. The teams were very
evenly matched and the next game is
awaited with interest. Following is the

Slaves to the past!
 That is what some people are and that is what one must not be.
 A guilty or a faulty past will. 1T one will allow it, hang like a mill stone dragging back and down; not because of the hardness or want of forgiving spirit on the part of the world. but on account of the unsenerous attitude Of ones self toward ones self. Many a per- son goes through life & failure because of some chapter in the book from which self can not cut loose; some days living for which ego will not forgive ego. It is not fair. It it not just to the me- Of today that that of yesterday should hold it in its dead embrace-and 1t need not be.
 There is no degradation from which there is not a way up and out.
 The self of today need not cringe to that of yesterday, but may look 1t def1- antly in the face as a thing that Is dead and then live the present as if the past

they there, but before the meeting closed, each one had made graceful little speech as to what women in their sec tion were doing for every good aim and work, in the church, in the schools, in press work, in clubs, in every line in which they had just begun to venture forth.
 Most of them testified with great frankness that they lacked the nerve to stand for suffrage. though they knew they ought to have it, and that their husbands believed so, too.
 After the meeting, amid smiles and banters and great pleasantries, I asked l a pretty woman who had made a bright.
 witty speech, and who was from a Mis- sissippi town. ''how she dared appear at a meeting like this?" She answered, T am tired of begging men, white and | black, for their votes against the liquor | traIfic, and the drunkenness and immor- | ality in my county, and of the helpless ness we have, whenever me strive for | any moral reform, and I think I would like to have a ballot in my own hand | to find out if that will help matters a little."
 Those very Louisiana women. who were present then, and thought that suffrage for them was a monstrous thought-a contraband request, 8 very ostracism | from society, have accepted graciously the ballot for tax paying women con- ferred by the constitutional amendment. and have had the power by their vote
 to close the deadly sewers in New Or leans, and to decide for morality along | many lines.
 Alabama women have advanced far since that day, and for twenty-four | hours, the tax paying women were &C., | knowledged worthy to have voice in saying where the money should be ap-
 piled. Let us hope there are other agree
 able things in the near future.

 subject was the theme to hear which, I had slipped away from all who knew me. When she touched upon the question
 as to whether a mother should not have equal right with her husband to her
 children, thought why that's foolish
 ness of course she should have" and when she said something about the law giving a man the right to will away the woman's unborn child, and that the wom-
 an had no power to make a will at all.
 and that the law in some States grants the man the right to beat his wife, pro- vided the stick be the size of his little finger; and a few other things like that,
 just simply said to myself. Why, the
 women of Alabama don't know all this, for I never heard 1t before in my life" When the speech had ended and l was free to consider my surroundings, for until then my eyes had been riveted
 upon the speaker, no one willing to lose
 a word of what Lucy Stone would speak I glanced about me for minute, and

Twenty years pass quickly, but never without leaving strong evidences of their transit.
 These last twenty years, the last any, body has known, the most important l have Known, have made a wide swathe in the obstacles to civilization, perhaps the widest in all history.
 It would seem that the previous years had been only as the vestibule to the grand pantheon, wherein sit liberty of person, freedom of speech, religious tol- erance and justice to women. Twenty years ago, I, who occupy the position of president of the Woman Suff- rage Association of Alabama, went to Boston as a delegate to be present at great gathering of women, aroused to the necessity of combined resistance to the liquor power. Lady Somerset, the great English philanthropist, who is spoken of as the daughter of an hundred Earls," the direct descendant of the Eng fish chancellor, Lord John Somers, lent her most charming, womanly presence and persuasive eloquence to help. and

 The Fremont House was headquarters for the Southerners. and gay time we had of it. One night just as l was ready to join a friend and make my way to Fremont Temple where the great tenn perance meetings were in progress. a delegate who might be called leader among the Southerners, came to my room and asked. in a stealthy whisper, | Frances, would you like to be present at a suffrage meetfng?"

 It was a wrong to self
 I had influence over the person and talked for selves of today as separate from those of yesterday. It reached home and the day came when that person, going through life with firm step, head uplifted and the bold bearing toward the world which comes of real self-approval' talked it over with me as simply "an interesting story" And in alluding to the old self, who had not been true to the nobler nature. said.

Some People Are Tonics.

From SUCCESS.
 Some people act like tonic or an in vigorating and refreshing breeze. They make us feel like new beings. Under the inspiration of their presence we can say and do things which 1t would be impos- sible for us to say and do under diff ferent conditions. One stimulates my | thoughts, quickens my faculties. sharpens my intellect, opens the f1oodgates of Ian guage and sentiment and awakens the poetic within me, while another dampens my enthusiasm, closes the door of expan- sion and chills me to the very center of
