The* Alabama state convention will be held June 0th, at which time a governor and state house officials will be nominated by the demo cratic party. The four candidates for guberna torial honors are: Henry D. Clayton, of Barbour county. N. H. R. Dawson, of Dallas county. John M. McKloroy, of Barbour county. Thomas Seay, of Hale county.

It will be seen that the above table very nearly embraces the entire state, and it gives a tolerable fair reckoning of what will be clone on the first ballot. It is quite plain that none ofthe gentle men in the contest will have a walk over, and the earnestness with which they have made the campaign is an indication that they will fight equally with as much earnestness in the conven tion. We may therefore conclude that the nom ination is some distance from the first ballot. Of course nearly every one will predict the success of their particular favorite, but any prediction made now can clearly be nothing else than guess work. We shall not undertake to guess it. .

Tho’Annual Festival of tin* Bethel Sunday School —The Association Adopts Resolutions, Etc. Tire annual picnic of Bethel Sunday school was given Saturday. The Muscogee County Sunday School Association was nivited to hold its meeting at Bethel and join in the festivities, but owing to a misunderstanding in regard to the invitation only the following schools were represented: First Presbyterian church Sunday school of this city. Bethel church Sunday school. Evergreen church Sunday school. Fort son's Union Sunday school. Shiloh church Sunday school. Mt. Zion church Sunday school. At a meeting of the association, none of the officers being present, Mr. C. A. Redd was called to preside, and Judge T. C. Rees to act as secre tary. After transacting what business they could without the record, the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved. That the delegates present hereby tender their sincere thanks to the officers of Bethel Sunday school and members of that con gregation for their kind invitation to be present at their annual picnic, and for the elegant hospitality extended to us on that occasion. Resolved, That we recommend that the Sep tember convention be held at Pierce chapel on the third Saturday. The convention then ndjourned. is carrying consternation in his track.

Saturday morning when Mr. T. A. Cantrell went to his store at the foot of Wynne’s Hill, he saw unmistakable evidence that burglars had been there during the night. Upon examination he found that they had effected an entrance by boring a hole through the back window and opening it. After getting on the inside they closed the window and began to make a selec tion of such articles as they wanted. They took a box of tobacco, several sides of meat, part of a barrel of sugar, a quantity of coffee, several sacks of flour and several gallons of whisky which Mr. Cantrell had stored away. From the quantity of goods taken they must have had a wagon. They left the store by opening one of the doors and the salt from the meat was strewn about on the ground. Mr. Cantrell says that as he does not know ex actly what was stolen, he cannot a ccurately esti mate his loss, but he thinks it is in the neigh borhood of $100. There is no clue whatever to the burglars. place of that famous bird, a little of his history may not be un interesting and may save some Georgia farmer his crop. Thare is a farmer in this county by the name of Freeman who once upon a time had a pet buz zard. This, to start with, may appear a little strange as the buzzard is not a beautiful bird. Neither is it affectionate or engaging. It has no pretty tricks like the parrot. It has no melodious voice like the nightingale. It possesses a pheno menal sense of smell, and its intelligence and ac curacy as a diagnostician in the case of afflicted mules, or cats, or hogs, are said to be simply amazing. But these are not qualities of an en dearing nature—not calculated to twine around the heart-string and to ce- ment£love. Nevertheless this buzzard tvas a pet in the family of farmer Freeman, who managed to keep it comparatively contented by holding its food over—getting it over-ripe, so to speak. In a word it became thoroughly domesticated, and, though it had a way of looking at the sick little Freemans which made the anxious parents un comfortable, the relations continued to be satis factory and pleasant all around. Some time ago, however, while one of the children was playing with the buz zard, it occurred to his infant mind to attach to the bird's ankle a small bell which happened to be lying around loose Acting upon this inspiration, the small Freeman did in fact securely tie to the buzzard’s leg the aforesaid bell. The bird seemed rather proud of it at first, but soon became alarmed and at night, when it went to roost, the tinkling ofthe bell was so alarming that it flew off in dismay. The faster this panic-stricken buzzard flew, the louder tink led the bell, and it was not until he had traveled into the next county and had become thoroughly worn out that he could bring himself to take a rest. By a curious colndence, the buzzard concluded to stop at a negro cabin wherein Deacon Jack- son was holding forth a select few on the twofold topic ofthe watermelon prc,spect for this world and the salvation outlook for the world to come.

The secretary of the lazy club reports great diffi culty in securing the services of a suitable mao for president of the organization. Several gen tlemen have been appealed to to sit in that august and responsible attitude, but they kick, or would do so if it did not require too much exertion this hot weather. The treasurer wants to resign because there’s no money to jin- gle, and would move the nomination of a suc cessor did he not realize that moves of all softs are out of order. Hope a thorough reorganization will soon be effected and harmony restored. Girurd Debuting Society. A number of citizens have organized a society with this name which holds weekly meetings and tussles with weighty questions, the handling oi which causes a good deal of amusement this bot. weather. Judge John R. Barr is president. At the meeting held last Tuesday night the question up was: “Which is most valuable to man, paper or gunpowder?” The powder gained its case as it generally does when well used. The question for next meeting is, “Which exerts the most evil over man, woman or money?” This will probab y call forth an animated discussion. Girard Gossip. Law matters quiet. The business men are more hopeful. Mrs. Hiram Williams and Miss Mollie CDy have been very sick, but are better. Mr. R. Davis has opened an ice house.
