Who Relieves Itf

EIEd Clipper.
 This railroad business is said to be very complicated; lots of people tell you. We don't know anything about 1t, but we'll trust Cahrles Henderson and Judge Weakley and Governor Conner to handle our side of the mat ter"
 Oh yes, they tell us that; they know that We love to buy wrought iron ranges and patent rights and gold bricks, and bet on shell games and buy green goods, and vote for demagogues; they know that the proverb of Phineas Barnum about the American people dearly love to be humbugged was never so true as now.
 Some people with good average sense. who would not buy green goods unless the salesman put up nice package of hot air. have been led to believe that the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad and Judge Jones have done something absolutely undreamed of, something so awful that 1t will hardly do to print, for the simple and unvarnished purpose of robbing the shipping and travelling public Of Ala bama.
 Some people believe that laws were never before enjoined-that such thing is new and terrible here in Ala bama.
 We Coffee County folks ought to have a little gumption; we ought to remember some things that happened longer ago than last week.

TWO OF A KIND.

Political caucusins is not confined to the Democrats and Republicans. The Hearstites and PopuIites are more than likely to make trade in the next Presidential election. Last year the Hearst following in New York com btned with the Democrats and this year they traded with the Republicans. It is now in order for them to go into somebody else's pasture and the Popu- iites comes most naturally.
 The Philadelphia Ledger Ind.) says:
 Conferences have been held in the West and South between representa- tives of the Independence League and the Populist party looking to amaiga- nation er cooperation next year. no strength outside of New York and Massachusetts. and the Populist party none outside of the South and West. therefore the view that new, party strength of either of the small organ izations alone. The Democratic party is the body chiefly interestea in these conferences The Populists and tional ticket. but 1t is among the pos abilities that they can defeat the Dem- ocratic candidates with certainty and precision. They may be strong enough to send trenlble through the solidity of the South. It is not crediting the Hearst end of the deal with much strength to say that it can blight Dem- ocratic hopes in New York. The con- ferences have ther significance. the more because there has been enough Finance" lately to sprout quite crop of newly vitalized Populists
 The Populists have called their Ma tional Convention to be held in St. Louis on the 9th of April. Tom Watson will be the guiding star of the occasion. He will have to switch of from Hoke Smith and the Georgia Democracy.

The New Orleans I1cayune quotes from The Chicago Examiner as follows

The New Orleans I1cayune quotes from The Chicago Examiner as follows:
 There is such a thing as being fin- fcky and cautious With respect to the well of English undecided. and we fear that Attorney Fletcher Dobyns is in danger of falling Into this error.
 Did you tote the note to MT. of a witness in the Walsh case, where upon MT. Dobyns objected to the word tote" and MT. Miller substituted the word carry" a colloqulaIism. We'll. suppose 1t is. Doesn't 1t express the meaning it is intended to convey. and isn't that all that can be expected of any word? tion of so-called good" English words were at one time colloquialisms?
 Let MT. Dobyns beware of etymolo- gical or pathological hair splitting. In tote" is classic. In the Northern half 1t Is generally Understood even If it is not so generally used as down South. In short it is, for all practical pur- poses. as good as "carry." The Dobyns objection is overruled.
 Then The Picayupe indulges in the following comments
 ''Tote" is good English, on higher authority than that it is a colloquial- ism which has become engrafted into our language. It Is Anglo-Saxon to Saxon Dictionary, London. edition of 1852, thus: Tote. from Totian, to lift up, to carry in the hands or upon the person in the same sense as the Latin --Tollo-tollere.
 Tote is not known except among En glish descended people, and it is es- pecially common among the negroes bred by them. It is much used by them and by some whites t2 Virginia and the upper Carolinas. and is un- questionably correct. altho ough now ob- solete to a great extent
 The efforts of some Photographers to show that the word came to us from Africa through the negroes who were brought from that country have not been very successful. It may be that 1t Is more common in the South than elsewhere, but that does not prove that 1t is of negro origin. There are many colloquialisms used in one section of the country that are practically un- known in others, and this appears to freely usel by both whites and negroes down here, and we car see no objection to 1t. In Virginia. if we are not mis- taken. the word is Srequantly used in place of lead" as when one 'eads a dog or other animal by a rope he is said to tote him. Properly speaking it means to carry anything on the back. sh oulders, or in the arms, and the ne- groes who carry many of their burdens on their heads speak of toting the!r loads in that way. It Is a proper word. and expresses what no other word can do in many cases.

Opening Therr Eyes

 The people of this State are opening their eyes to the fact that Governor Conner Is expensive arrogant and vim dictive. During the campaign he suc- against the railroads. but Alabama people are coming to view the matter with the soberness that comes as a possession of the knowledge that rail- road interests are being ahused-tha at vast sums are being expended from the State treasury-not in the interest bt justice to the people of Alabama. but for the sole purpose of gratifying the whims and prejudices of a Governor whose sole motive seems to be that of revenge. All over Southeast Alabama the sympathies of the people are being turned to the railroads

 ''shan We Miss Them When They're

 T am surprised that you S-Walk re- porters have not paid more attention to Alderman Parrish's ordinance against the wooden awnings ever the sidewalks of old Montgomery" said a prominent citizen yesterday afternoon when after long chase he captured the reporter and hooked his finger ss- curely in the worn button-hole of the Journalistic great-coat. T am sure you are as much interested tn them as anybody. and have often thought that an awning over the Sidewaik Column would be good thing--to keep it from being just too awfully Bright, you know.
 There is a great deal to be said on both sides. and find 1t hard to mako up my mind whether prefer the com fort afforded by the awnings when 1t rains or when the sunshine is little more than the pedestrian person can stand, or the enhanced beauty which the removal of the awnings would un- doubtedly give the streets. I believe I would rather have the comfort. We must consider our climate. The rains summer is intense. and we need more protection from them than do people farther north.
 But Alderman Parrish evidently is city, and he is striving for his ordi- nance. At tlIe last meeting of the Council he secured reference of his ordinance from the Street Committee, to which 1t was first referred to the ciary. of which he IS member. suppose I have been asleep and have not realized what large town we have, and that as we grow older we shall have ta<give up simple comforts

A "REMINISCENCES.
Given by One of the Veterans who
Attended The Peunion.

In July 1861, now forty-six years
years ago, said Lieutenant G. W..
Hill of Company G, 9th Iowa Infantry,
of Guthrie Center, who was in attend
ance at the veterans reunion last week,
our company of 10l men left Guthrie
Center in wagons. There were about
ten men in each wagon. Farmers did
not have carriages in those days so
they took us in their farm wagons ac-
cross the uninhabited praries of
Western Iowa to Council Bluffs to
join the 9th Infantry commanded by
Col. Dodge. When we arrived at the
! the summit of the ridge southwest of
Guthrie, the boys all got up and gave
three cheers for Guthrie Center, three
for Panora; three for Abe Lincoln,
and three for the Union. We looked
back at the homes we were leaving,
many of US for the last time. AS we
decended the ridge Guthrie Center
passed from our view and forty one
of our number never saw it again.
The country then was wild and unin-
habited. There were a few settlers in
the Hamlin neighborhood, Oakfield
and Extra and these comprised about
all there were within the county. The
| first night we encamped at Extra, a
village of few houses only. Some
of VS. slept in the church and some ia
the old schoolhouse. The next morn.
ing Judge Harris, now of Missouri
Valley, made US a little speech as we
were about to leave. Audubon county
had one man in our company, w. P.
Beck, who was the second man to en-
| list from this counts. He was young
man who had been my schoolmate at
| Guthrie Center. He was unusually
intelligent and talented and was study
ing to be admitted to the bar. My
recollection is that he served about
two years with us, came home on a
furlough and died.. The second night
we camped wesi of Lewis, arriving at
Council Bluffs the folling day. Gen.
G. M. Dodge, now so we'll known, was
| Colonel of our regiment which was
the second regiment that Iowa furnish
ed to the army. Nearly all of our
company enlisted at Panora on the 9TH
day of July. 1861. There had been
q celebration on the 4th when patriot
ism and enthusiasm ran veIy high.
The people in these thinly settled dis
tricts were offering their young meu,
the best they had, in defense of the
MniOn.

THE COUNTY FAIR A WINNER.
Fine Weather and Large Attendance.

The county fair, which for twenty
eight years has been the great annual
festival for the people of the whole
county was in great good luck this
year because of the fine condition of

ans and the opening of the Woodman
Opera House. All these attracted at
tendance and helped to furnish o var
iety of entertainment. Though We'd

with pretty strong indications of rain,
the weather cleared up and made the
afternoon very pleasant which brought
in an unusually large number of peo
pie for the first day. Thursday was
quite warm and was considered a rec
ord breaker for attendance. A for
mer public official and an old resident
of Audubon who has had opportunity
to see the fair from year to year said
to us that we might safely report that

of his hearers were much surprised
when he stated that the railway could
be completed fortwelve thousand doll
