Good Effect of Fairs,

THE fairs at Selma and Montgomery
were decided successes said a gentleman
who attended both II expect to see them
improve in agricultural and stock exhibits
each year.
Already the sale of fancy stock and
the demand for high class stock for breed
ing purposes is being felt by dealers. The
time will come when the Blackbet will
return to the raising of fine stock of every
class. These fairs certainly are hasten

work they have done as teachers, the
Times would suggest that he does not
overlook DIR. W. S. Wyman of Tusca-
loosa, who has devoted his entire life to
teaching. and who is now spending the
sunset of his life in dgnified retirement
at his home in the "City of Oaks" For
over fifty years DIR. Wyman has followed
the profession of teaching, and has done
more than any living man in Alabama to
promote the cause of education.
The editor of the Times regards him
as the ripest scholar in the state, in the
entire south, as for that matter. He has
repeatedly been offered the presidency of
the state university. but always refused
1t, though he filled the position most ae-
ceptably for several years while the trus-
tees were looking around for a man for
the position. Whenever a vacancy in the
office of president would occur, either
from death or resignation, the trustees al
ways fell back on DIR. Wyman till the
proper man could be found to take the
place. Nearly every time there was a
vacancy they insisted on his taking the
place, but he always said no.
DR.. Wyman has prosecuted his re-
searches outside of the beaten paths and

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 90
The steamship Dix, Captain P,
Lennon, bound from Seattle to
Port Blakeley with passengers,
sank two miles north OF Ak
Point after having been in col
lislon with the steamship Jean
ME, Captain p. II. Mason, of
the Alaska Coast Company.
Forty one passengers and
members OF the crew on the
Dix are missing and thirty-one
were saved. The Dix is a total
wreck. The JEANNE was not
injured in the least and no mem
Der of her crew was lost,
The master of the Dix was
saved. The collision occurred
while the Sound was almost as
smooth as a milIpond and after
the ships had been steaming in
sight of each other for a quarter
of an hour.
The JEANNE was backing
when she coIlided with the Dix
and the impact was very slight.
The Dix was struck abaft of
amidshlpS on the stsrboard side.
She listed heavily to port for a
brief period, rightcd herself,
then sank stern first. There
was hardly time to launch lite
RATS or boats betote she was al
most entirely submerged. Pas
sengers Jumped from the decks
into the water; women screamed
and officers and men called or
ders that could hardly he heard
above the din.
The passenger from the Dix
who could swim made their wal
to the sides of the JEANNE and
were dragged aboard. The
JEANNE was not moved until at
ter all who had reached her had
been hauled aboard. Then she
crulsed about, picking up sew
eral who had managed to stay
above water.
