Worth Alabama Seems 70 !
 Be Solid For 0I. O'NeaI
By WILL w. NELSON.

Decatur, December n.-(Special. )-The suitability and the strength of Emmet O'Neal of Florence as a candidate for the democratic nomination for governor of Alabama is the subject of much talk among the leading democrats of North Alabama and apparently there is very decided sentiment in his favor at this time. Friends of MT. O'Neal in this sec- tion of the state are very confident that the Florence leader will achieve the gubernatorial honors.
 Leading democrats in this end of the state say that MT. O'Neal will receive al- cratic party in this portion of Alabama for the nomination and that his strength in other parts of the state would be suf- ficient to overcome the strength that any other candidate might make. MT. O'Neals s warm personal friends here say that a careful investigation of the political situa- tion in Alabama at this time indicates that there would be no question as to MT O'Neal's nomination.
 Within the democratic party in Alabama today there is possibly not a man better known and more highly regarded than is Emmet O'Neal. His life has been spent at Florence among the people where he was born and reared and where he has gained reputation more than state wide as lawyer, statesman and orator.

BESSEMER LYCEUM COURSE

Desstmer, December 11.-(Special)-- The hearing of the injunctions issued under the Fuller bill, closing several soft drink stands in the city, was continued today until next Saturday on account of the state not being ready. The de- fendants have interposed demurrers, questioning the constitutionality of the law and the regularity of the passage of the bill by the legislature. in that the bill was referred to standing com mittee, acted upon favorably and re- turned with such a report, that the re- port showed no amendment, but when the bill was called up for a third reading and final passage there was attached thereto an amendment purporting to have been made by the committee and that no member of the senate offered such an amendment to the bill
 As this is the first case in the state where the eonstitutionality of the bill has been questioned considerable interest is being manifested in the outcome.

The medium kinds from $500 TO 1886.

about steady. The best fat bulls sold

Feeders and Stockcrs-The trade in
the feeder and stocker market was &C
tive as long as the supply lasted. The
demand has been good here all week, a
number of eastern buyers being on
hand and all other buyers having liber-
al order. Good dehorned steers have
the best call as usual, and anything
of this kind is l5c to 2Oc higher than

the one now occupied by Coulter's
meat market. He has great faith in the
future of the city, and is one of the
conservative men whose opinion is Civ
en- great weight.
North Glenwood is becoming more
and more desirable as a residence dis
trict, and some handsome buildings
have already gone up. DR.. d. ].
Fletcher has finished one and has an
other almost finished and deals are
pending whereby other men will put up
residences. A great deal of the North
Glenwood building depends on the com
pletion of the sewerage system in that
part of the town. But the sewer must
come, for the demand for homes in that
section will compel the city to go to
work.
William Dougan is planning to erect
another handsome residence near his
present home place and in addition will
put up smaller houses near the lumber
yard that his employees may be closer
to their work. Henry Brown has sew
eral houses and is expecting to build
another at a cost of several hundred
dollars. He will make it modern in
every particular. Henry Walz is ex-
pecting to put up an ice plant and will
have both natural and artificial ice for
his customers.
In addition to the above we are told
that William Cardnen will erect a
handsome livery barn in North Glen
wood. 1t is the intention to secure a
| fine bunch of saddle horses for the use
of the guests at Hotel Colorado Sew
ertl other men are dealing for lots, and
the outlook IS grwing brighter every
day.
Search the country over and a better
| place cannot be found to live than is
Glenwood. Health and comfort await
+hc family that will locate here and the
record of l-iness failures is very
small when compared with other towns
in the state 1t is believed that the
marble mills will be secured and in
that case some five or six hundred more
people would be brought to the city,
and thus add to che permanent popula-
tion of the town. This will mean the
/ erecting of another school building and
scores of residences for the workers.
The coming summer season bids fair to
break the record of last year. Already
scores of inquiries are coming in from
over the country, asking for details re-
garding the mineral waters and scenic
attractions. Now is the time to boost
hard for everything that will bring an
other family to tho city.
