 Then the business end of this news paper was approached by neatly dressed young man. one morning. who presented an engraved card, with the compliments Of Dr. Richard Roe. whose private secretary and business manager he had the honor to Be. He directed that We report at the hotel, where apartments had been set aside for the Doctor. He said that we might go over together a scheme of advertis- ing; for he could only be in town two days. and the people who needed glasses fitted to their eyes in the latest and most approved method ought to know where they could go for then. We used the wood type in the office telling how the blind were us all again. And one fine morning we missed the Doctor. His room had been vacated at the hotel: his beaver was gone case and all; his Ella was gone: and the crew who expected him to appear every day at mail time. on dress parade, saw him not. We have seen him--not. We haven't seen the man we could Induce to pay his bill for all that advertising. either. ,,i

They all stood out on a platform, the negroes amusing the crowds, while the Doctor looked mysterious. He only looked mysterious for a while. Then he laid aside that beaver, ran his hand back in the northwestern pocket of his Ella, and withdrew mot a handk erchief. but a small bottle of a mixture. This mixture Of native herbs did the trick from the ground itch on the foot, up on through the different branches of the body to the crown of the head, where the hair was wont to fall out. One bottle, prefefab- fly . dollar bottle, sitting on the mantle piece. was sufficient. Hardly worth while to take 1t. Just buy 1t and loan 1t to your neighbor, and diseases hear ing of it's being about the place. passed on to less fortunate families. 5 And he fired his cooEs. loaded down the druggists and jumped the town. to the relief of all.

All stepped a little way down the slope, so that the enemy's shot passed over their heads, except Polk, who, erect and unconscious of risk. continued his observations. All up and down the open valley sat farm houses; all up and down white top army wagons and their teams were visible. Breastworks were every where. There was a pun of smoke 0 from the enemy's gun across from General Folks position and instantly he fell heavily to the ground. dead. Johnston and Hardee rushed to his side as a shower of balls fell around, Johnston knelt by the dead comrades side, exclamiing: My dear friend; any thing but this." Hardee took the hand of his friend and comrade on many fields of carnage and gently stroked 1t in tears. The body was removed: the generals rode close behind the ambu- lance, General Johnston with hat in hand, through the broilinE sun.

Dothan Eagle.
 The news is sent out from New Orleans that several hundred citissns Of the city wfii De required to wear rock coats and top hats when Presi- dsnt-eiect Taft visits New 0rieans next Thursday. We greatly fear that this insistsncs for top hats and froclx coats will cause Editor Hali, of The Doshan Eagle, deep chargrin and annoyance, Over in the Wiregraas they can . frock coat Prince Albert" and top hat still travels under the name of beaver" We fear thst Editor Hall will wonder why anybody except q negro presiding elder wants to wear a Prince Albert" and beaver" in the day time.--Montsornery Advertiser.
 You can never get away from rep- utation- One sparrow don't make a summer, while two trunks often make . drunkard. Since our article with re- ference to some of the things men wear went forth. 1t is expected that we grow interested as soon as any kind of a coat Is mentioned. and we do. The above Ia not entirely correct. We Wiregrassers don't call frock coat e Prince Albert" but as every one well knows. it's an Ella" We, of course, know what fs meant when a coat is spoken of as Prince Aibsrt,n but the term is without expression, since the Prince" has become king.
 Now. as to beavers and frock coats. or Elias, it's this way with us. and we feel that the town is standing at our back. We never sec . man wearing them except that he be riding in the dfnky little buggy ahead of the circus parade, telling the open-mouth null titudes of the grand free ex-e-bltton given out at the show grounds. im- mediately in front of their mammoth seven-acre tent; or he's the man walk ing with a stiff military movement. leading the band in the blacisface com edy company. swinging his baton. and signaling the tooters in the rear. If the Elias and the beavers are not found with this class alone, then there's just another one. or two. Here, one time . few years ago. a man hit the town. as nearly everybody does. and put up at the Yellow-Legged Pullet Hotel. On Sunday morning he diixsd an Ella and beaver, and light cane, and pair of light kid gloves, and left just enough of white silk handkerchief sticking out at pocket to show that 1t was genuine. Then he calmly walk ed across the street to church. 1t leaked out q day or two later that he was one high up in the billion dollar insurance companies. direct from New York. snd some of us feared 1t was MeCurdy, or

My nerves are stiil unstrung. More reports of murders, assassinations, mine explosions and bank explosions, spies and espionage, confagrations, wars and rumors Of wars. ship wrecks by land and sea, tidal waves and pro- hibition wavesi Amid it all, comes the Arctic sea wave which burgted my water pipes and laid my flowers and vegetables low--everything cut down except the coal and gas bills. The lower the mercury the higher they are. Then comes the report that Governor Conner is going to call the Legislature to regulate some more things-may be the weather. for he seems to think he can regulate and control everything and everybody but the railroads (and his sons). I feared the Legislature might adopt standard height for men. s4
 I did not believe the Legislature would pass huch an absurd law, but they had been so obedient to his will and rdone so mary foolish things, they might even do this. So. as did not want my head or feet chopped on to please the Governor and his Legislature, thought it prudent Co leave dear old Alabama and seek rest end quiet in some secluded spot on earth. I landed first in the Ever glades of Florida, but that was too wet even for that State; then went to the Dry Torgugas. but that was toe dry--even dryer than selma. While meditating where to gos got an invi- tation from my friend Taft to accom- pany him on an inspection tour of the Panama Canal. which gladly ac- cepted.
