WILL FIGHT MOVE.
Florence Interested In Mobile and West Alabama Road,

Florence. Feb 2s.-CSpeciaI IA large and enthusiastic meeting of bus mess men was held yesterday in the City Hall to perfect the organiza ton of the Florence Industrial and Bus mess League" The following officers were put in nomination and elected unanimously: Emmet 0'Neal Presi- dent; F.. W. Camper. Vice President C. F.. Jordon, Secretary and Treasurer. Executive Comlttee, w. F. Mcfarland, Dr ]. c. Go nor Emmst O'Neal M . w. Camper and c. E. Jordan.
 The present organization is the suc- cessor to the old Business Mems League, which has been practically defunct for several years-past, It grew out of the necessity to take some active measures to prevent the Mobile and Western Ala bama Railroad, which had proposed making Florence it's northern terminus, taking another route. The League pro- poses further to place the great indus trial advantages of Florence before the world and thereby attract to the city its share of the capital which is flowing into Alabama.
 Mir. O'Nears remarks in accepting the office of president were timely and to the pointg He said we had reached a crisis in the history of Florence where we must do something. Men who have amassed great wealth are invariably optimistic; pesimists never accomplish anything. If Florence could secure a trunk line tapping the great mineral

Better Than
 Champagne.

A gdod story is told of a St. Louis gentleman. A friend of his sent him a case of Red Raven. 1t arrived while he was absent from home Hts wife open cd the box and seeing all the dainty hotties mistook 1t for champagne. She told her husband on his return that he had been presented with ease of wine He being a genial fellow went. to the telephone aud called few friends
 Tn the evening when they came to open the wine the mistake was of course discovered. A prominent physi- elan who was among the guests broke into a cry of delight. 'WhS" be said this is providential. This beats champangne all to pieces. There is nothing that acts so gently on the liver tones t1e stomach and gives a man such a feeling of health as Red Raven It is justly called the Prince of Aper- ents, and taken in the morning after a inner or banquet will surely cleanse the system and put one right for the days work He pulled the cork and poured the sparkling water into "a glass. hI do not think champagne could be more beautiful" :" he added.

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is . kind of dyspepsia that Is caused by . derangement Of the female orgsnism, and which, while it causes . disturb ance similar to ordinary indigestion, cannot be relieved without medicine which not only acts as a stomach tonic, but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects also.
 As proof of this theory we call at- tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y,, who was completely cured by Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound after every thing else had failed. She writes:
 For two years suffered with dyspepsis which so degenerated my entire system that was unable to attend to my daily duties. l felt weak and nervous, and nothing that afs tasted good and it cauSed disturbance in my stomach. tried different dyspepsia cures, but nothing seemed to help me. | was kd- vised to give Lydia B.

 Our own Government has good cause to remember these Indians. for there was almost constant war with them for more than a score Of years. In 1850 Captain Nathaniel Lyon fought them in California.

 That the South will equal if not sur pass an yother part of the United States in progression Is an urdisputed fact based upon the resources aud fa- borable climatic conditions which ger erous Nature has bestowed upon il.

 It is not eXaggeration to say that the country around Deering, six miles west of Coffeyville, is literally covered with millions of crows
 For the last two or three days there have been thousands and thousands Of the big black birds over the fields around the little burg. Their wings make noise like thunder when they rise in flight One farmer from that vicinity stated that the crows settled on small cornfeld near his house and literally tore down shock after shock of corn. When he discoveredsthe great flock of birds there they had torn down and eaten the corn from dozens of shocks, in all. he estimates, not less than fifty bushels of grain
 No one can account for the great flocks. The birds do not seem to be migrating, but simply sojourning in the neighborhood. Seen from the trains it appears that the fields are fairly black with the birds.

Japanese Bonds Strong, Whiie Opposite Was True of Hussians.
 London, Feb. 26.-The stock ex- change last week was active and buoy ant under the influence of persistent peace talk and while outsiders are pur- chasing more freely, a considerable speculative position. has been built up in anticipation of further purchase support ct the end of the quarter, when money Is expected to be cheaper. With the Bank of England absorbing gold arrivals, Thursdays reserve reached the highest point In eight years. There was some disappointment at the non reduction of the bank rates. which caused profit taking in consols but the decline was soon checked
 The feature in foreign securities was the activity of Japanese bonds, which were steadily abEorbed and despite occasional realization show a further gain for the week, while Russians were correspopdingly weak after pe- riods of spurts and relapses. The week in railroads finished strongly and with further gains, especially in Union Pa cific and New York. Ontario and West ern, while much interest was devoted to steel securities.

The esteemed Boston Herald is not [fayorably impressed with recent Sem atorial laudation of 2 dead statesman, meaning the late Senator Quay partic-
 ularly. It speaks of the speeches that
 were made about him at a recent com
 memoratiye session, and continues: There Is a consent and consistency of
 praise such as rarely falls to the lot of any person of so slight renown for 1audable qualities and uplifting infu-
 ehce during his life. Almost every
 sweetness and charm of disposition is
 attributed to him, with large propor-
 tion of the talents that enable a man to influence his fellows. He was loyal to his friends and magnanimous toward
 his enemies, As between man and man
 he kept his word. He had a large and
 valuable part in the shaping of all the legislation that came before the Sen
 ate. Ills enemies were the great cor porations; but the people were always

 This topic has been considered and discussed by the contractors and uianu- lecturers of Montgomery, and now the time has come for some one of them to depart from the old rut and take this much needed step which Is sure to repay twofold the one who takes 1t.
