The special committee from the membership of the Commercial and In- dustrtal Association which will repre- sent this city at the Rivers and Har- bors Congress which will convene In Washington will meet in that city next Wednesday morning.
 This committee consists of J. B. El- lis. B. J. Schuster and E. c. Melvin. Mir. Ellis left for Philadelphia yester- day and Mir. Schuster will leave for Washington Sunday morning and MT. Melvin will go Monday morning.
 This committee besides representing Selma and the Commercial and Indus trial Association at the Rivers and Harbors Congress will see some of the postal officials in regards to matters pertaining to mail out of Selma. The most important matter Is the question of having route agents on the Sunday trains over the two lines of the Louis- vile and Nashville out of Selma.
 Since the agitation of this matter some weeks ago by the Commercial and Industrial Association 1t has re- ceived a number of letters from citi- gems living along these lines offering their support in getting the post of- flee authorities to establish route agents on these Sunday trains.
 Both of these Louisville and Nash ville roads are important feeders to Seima's business and this business is retarded some by not having these agents of the Sunday trains.

The Result Of a Kiss.

They were in a msgnihcently
decorated room in a ffth avenue
mansion. They approached each
other from opposite directions.
One Of them was pale as a ghost.
the other blushing red as a cher
ry.
Presently they met, and care
less Of the fact dozens Of eyes
were watching them, they kissed
each other.
I The meeting seemed to bring
them perfect peace; but alas
they had scarcely been side by
side above twenty seconds when
a man approached with fire Of
battle in his eyes.
With cold insolence ne raised
the stick he carried, and then
Of horror! he struck sharp,
quick blow, and the pale one was
sent spinning several feet away
The other neither screamed or
tainted.
There was no heart breaking,
no resentment, not even a mur-
mer.
Because billiard balls are used
to that sort OF thing. Elk.
