Swan . Royal Fowl.

Tn England. under an old law still in force. the swan is a royal fowl. as whales and surgeons are royal fish All swans the property whereof is not otherwise definable. when within the British dominions, belong to the king by virtue of this prero9ative. When swans are lawfully taken into the pos session of a private person such per son may be said to have property in them: but if they be at liberty they belong to the crown Formerly it was necessary for persons who wished to keep these royal fowls to obtain swan mark. which was granted by the crown. and which could not be legally impressed without grant or presrrip- ton The marked swan law stfII holds good. and it is a felony to take swans which are lawfully marked even thoueh they b- st large. as it is a felony to take unmarked swans which are ksPs near . dwelling house

The Decorations and Refreshments at a Crystal Wedding Celebration Surprise Party - New Dain-
 ties-Costume Party.
A Crystal Wedding.

A Crystal Wedding.
 The request comes again for sug- gestions for the fifteenth wedding an- niversary, which brings the crystal wedding.
 The invitations should be written the same as for any evening party, and, if desired, the words Crystal We'd ding may be written in one corner, or the two dates given and the guests can figure out for themselves the oc-' casion of the company.
 Of course the dining-room table will be the center of attraction, and it should be kept as near all white as possible. Use glass bowl filled with white roses or carnations for the cen- terpiece, and glass candlesticks, with white shades. Use glass dishes to hold bonbons, salted almonds and olives. Serve turkey or chicken sand wiches, coffee and ice cream or an ice in tall glasses. The candles placed around the room may be coated with mucilage and then rolled in diamond dust, and the effect will be very pretty. Place cards may be treated the same way, and tiny boxes filled with wed- ding cake may be coated with dia- mond dust, the monogram and date put on in gold paint and given to each guest as souvenir.
 If salad is served, 1t should be a combination of fruits with whipped cream mayonnaise dressing. Toasts to the host and hostess, and a pro- gramme of well selected songs, add much to the enjoyment of the evening. If desired, the bride and grooms cake may be baken in heart-shaped molds, as they are newer than the round ones.

A Surprise Party.

A young correspondent wants sug- gestions for surprise party. Per- sonally I do not like Surprises" but if some one of the family is taken into confidence, the affair can generally be managed with satisfaction to all. Let each girl prepare basket or box of luncheon for two, just as daintily aa possible. On arriving pile their boxes in one place. After the surprise is over l would suggest some good games. such as have appeared in the depart ment from week to week, then blind- fold one boy at time and let him se- lect basket or box and stand in line with his treasure unopened. Aft CT all are supplied, each one is to have three guesses to determine which girl prepared the refreshment. When part ners are found go to the dining-room, where, doubtless, some willing mem- Der of the family will have provided drinkables and arranged . pretty table.

A New Dainty.

A new dainty for the afternoon tea table is what is called Touraine choc- plates. Take whole wheat bread, but ter the loaf, cut of the slices, then cut into strips an inch wide. Cover each piece with melted sweet choco- late; sprinkle thinly with any fine- ly chopped nuts. either almonds, wall nuts or pistachios. Stand aside for an hour to harden. Another novelty for evening refreshments is fruit rounds. With biscuit cutter make rounds out of slices of whole wheat bread. Then chop quarter of a pound of candied pineapple and a quarter of a pound of candied cher dies together. Boil four tablespoon fuls of sugar and three of water for one moment; then when cool add the juice of half an orange, mix with the fruit, butter the bread and spread with the mixture. Ornament with citron or angelica and candied cher ries. Serve on cut-glass plate.

The State Committee has resoluted; In spite of the fact that it was clearly shown that the Congressional Com mfttee acted without . quorum. that the same Committee appointed the election managers in advance of the time when they were to meet for that purpose, that the names of the man. agers etc. were really in print before tho Congressional Committee met to appoint them, the State Committee re- fused to interfere in the matter and the fight is now on and the precedent established for Committee rule with the privilege to use all the latitude which may seem necessary
 Tn Butler county the people protest ed against the action of the Congress eionaI Committee because they have had bitter experience in what unfair political methods lead to. Just such procedure In the past kept our county in constant political turmoil and led to much personal hard feeling.

CONFER IN CALHOUN
SPEAKS AT PIEDMONT
 AND JACKSONVILLE.
The Same old story in the Same old Way--Freight Rates, Educa- ton and the old Soldiers
 Are Discussed.

Jacksonville, March 16--tSpecial. )-- Candidate B B. Conner spoke here this afternoon to an audience of about 25o people Mir. Conner spoke in the morn ing at Piedmont and drove to Jack sonyille in the afternoon, his audience at Piedmont numbered about 2oo' ana his address was well received.
 His speech was along the usual lines and though it occupied two hours there was no new matter Among those present at Piedmont was Fred L. Blackmon, candidate for Senate. Mir. BIackmon made no speech, but made an active hand-shaking cam paigr. It is whispered throughout this country that Corners strength Is not what it might be, but Cunningham forces are resting on their arms
 At Jacksonville MT. Conner was in- troduced by J. J. Arnold. who took oc- casion to say that in "the campaigns that have preceded this we have oo- served A great deal of discrimination and recriminatfon.' But, he said. the two distinguished gentlemen who are before the people of the State as can didates for the office of Governor have extended to each other most gentle manly magnanimity and most knight ly courtesy.
 MT. Conner. in opening his address, thanked the chairman for his introduc- tion, and said:
 "As YOU know, the most important question before the people of the State and of the United States today Is rail- road rate reform. Wherever a trust has power to charge you they ought to be limited by law"
 On the subject of education. he said' he stood committed to it, and earnest ly advocated the education Of the youth of the country as far as the economy of State will admit. Alabama, he sald: stands forty-sev snth In the llst or States in the matter of education only three from the bottom.
 T believe. too. in the old soldier ne said and advocated the care of veter- ans as far as the economy of the State will admit. He also advocated local option and immigration, but denounced cheap labor in no uncertain terms.
 He introduced The Advertisers corre- spondent as usual. saying:
 sHe goes with me wherever l so. It is Ruth and Naomi, only unlike Ruth The Advertise- doesn't like me Ike Ruth did Naomi. But at the last meet ing 1 propounded scme questions 10 them which they haven't answered
 His present fight. he said, commenced when he was in the mercantile and iobbing business in Anniston. His ar Rument as to freight rates was along his usual lines, as was also his re- marks as to the present Commission and his advocacy of a peoples Leg isiature.
 The railroad attorney came in for his customary share of oratory and the sneaker said that while his brother was a railroad attorney, he wouldn't sup mort him for the Legislature. There were no incidents connected with the speech and as a whole it was the same old story in the same old way"
 Mir. Conner will -peak in Hefiin to- morrow morning and at Oxford In the evening. The sentiment in this part of the State seems to be more Cunning ham than Conner. though Mir. Conner claims to be in control.

Elsberry, of a tract of land, com prising 16O acres, lying three miles west of the court house, between the line of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad on the north, and the Selma wagon road on the south. The price set upon this land was SAT per acre. Zirkle and Moore offered a piece of property on the Selma road. between the four and five mile posts, contain ing from so to 100 acres, for $50 an l acre.

Secretary Adams reported that the total subscriptions to the stock of the | Association amounted to Si6.640.
