the last two days, the upward tendency has not
changed and great decline is expected.

PICTURES FOR SCHOOLS.
Eufaula Houses of Learning to Be Al
 tractiYely Decorated.

Eufaula Nov. 12.-(SpeciaL)- Through the influence and active work of Professor Mccoy. principal of the Sanford Street Public School, the build ing will soon be ornamented with a superb collection of appropriate pie lures.
 For the past week the pictures have been on exhibition at the Carnegie Au- ditorfum and Dr. M. B. Wharton and Rev. Bertram Brown delivered inter esting and instructive lectures on art to which a small admittance fee was charged and quite a nice sum was raised in this way towards making up the purchase price of them. The walls of the public school building have re- gently been put in good condition ana the school will present quite hand some appearance when decorated With them. Professor Mccoy enjoys the confidence of the citizens as one or the most active school workers that has ever been in the city.
 The Red Mems smoker on Friday evening was a great success. More than hundred invited guests res bonded to invitations and the hours were devoted to short talks, music, re- treatments and cigars. A unique feature of the exercises was the ap- pearance of Powhatan to all appear ances the original, who smoked the Calumet with the warriors and braves and imparted words of wisdom.
 Cotton Is coming In slowly and but little activity is going on among the buyers Farmers seem to have con idsnce that the staple Is still going higher and are holding for better An era of prosperity seems to be possessing the citizen and at least Tour

FIRE IN BIRMINGHAM
STORE OF CANDY COMPANY WAS
 DESTROYED.
New Stock of Holiday Goods Had Just Been Secured and Total Loss
 Resulted from the
 Flames, .s..-E

Birmingham, Nov. 12.-(Special.)--- Fire was discovered in the basement of the one-story building 2115 First Avenue. occupied by the Buchanan Candy Company, at 3:30 o'clock this morning and a general alarm was sent into the fire department.
 Four stations received the alarm and turned out. The fire was hard to get to and much water was used, the greater amount of damage done being by water. The fire was in a lot of packing. paper and boxes in a small cellar to the establishment. The stock carried by the Buchanan Company was valued at about $6,500. Just during g the past week $1,000 worth of holiday goods were received. The damage is about complete. Insurance to the amount of 5000 Is carried by the com pany. The read estate offices of Hidden & Jackson and the Thompson Realty Company, on one side, and the wall paper business of George w., Harris on the other, were more or less dam aged.
 How the fire originated Is not known. The Buchanan Candy Company was burned out a year ago in fire which started on Morris Avenue. J. P. Buchanan, at the head of the concern. stated this morning that as soon as the insurance could be arranged. he would set up business again.

The Bishop and the Englishwoman.

Bishop McCabe relates the following g story, according to The Northwest Christian Advocate:
 'Once upon a time was in a rail- road accident. It was one of the only two I have ever experienced. and I have travelled more than 750,OOO miles on trains and steamers, three times as far as from here to the moon
 "A broken wheel threw the train off the track. The car I was in was shattered very much. Seated just ahead of me was an elderly woman who was suffering from rheumatism. It was necessary to change cars. helped her off the car, carried her valise and gave her the support of my arm. Behind us came a noble looking Englishwoman, with her hus- band by her side.
 she was scolding him well for starting on his journey on Friday. T told you James, she said, that some thing would happen If we should start on Friday
 Madam said I. do you know that Columbus set sail to discover America on Friday%
 she looked at me with indignation.
 sir, in my opinion, it is a gres, pity that America was ever discovered at all"
