For More Conservatism.
Alfalfa Herald.
Just read the following. gentle
reader from a "Democratic" paper, and
tell US whether we are right when we
expressed Mr.. CIeveland's ideas, whs-
Their Mr.. Cleveland gave them to him

The Proposed Railroad.
Rockford Chronicle.
We hope our upstate brethren will
not tire of talking railroad until they
Montgomery. w. want the line to
| come down on US. not like "a wolf ON
O. fold" but like a benehcient vista
ton. We are not trying to point out
the exact route. or what, towns is shall
tap as 1t comes towards this Capital
City. We want the road because we
know 1t would be good for Montgomery

and the sooner the better.-Montgom-
cry Advertiser.
Well, The Chronicle won't tire until
we have called attention to all the
good things that Coosa has in store,
and our people are made to understand
the benefits q railroad along the pro-
posed route will be to them; and also
Coosa's resources, Coosa County Is suf-
fering for want of railroad
facilities, and the outside world
is suffering even more because
our resources are not now avail
able. A railroad up through Gilmore
and Coosa will be beneficial to these
counties, but will benefit the outside
world more and Montgomery would re-
cetve the largest share.
Not So Horrible.
Florence Times.
The Tuscumbia Dispatch in its ed
itorial columns last week printed the
following:
Fair Florence. which many of its
good citizens would have to be the fair
est of them ALL seems to be cursed
and blighted by blind tigers and blot
Eeggers.' We believe the law-abiding
citizens of that city can by patient and
persistent effort find way out of their
dilemma"
Judging alone from the above article
one might reasonably assume that
Florence was In a dreadful condition
| tndeed-"cursed and bllghted" In fact,
with the most fragrant lawlessness
The true condition is not nearly so bad
as that. In fact our city will compare
favorably In relation to the matters
referred to as any city of it's size in
the State. But there Is much Irritation,
| nevertheless, on account of the fact
| that there Is widespread belief amount.

are some boot leggers and professional
gamblers here regularly plying their
