Special to Enquirer-8un. Seale, Ala., August 26.—Beale is a great place This has been demonstrated many times here! tofore, but it has again been doubly demon strated to-day. There has for some time been a gallant and commendable rivalry between a number of gun clubs in the surrounding communities. There have been several shooting matches as a result of this rivalry, some of them having been held at Heale, Columbus, and other places. Seale de termined to outstrip them all and she has done so. The Seale gun club and their friends in the immediate vicii ity determined to invite all the gun clubs in reach to Seale and regale them with a big barbecue. To-day was set for the time and bigger success has never been known in this country. At an early hour this morning the people began to pour into the town. They came from every section of the county, in carriages, buggies, wagons and on horseback. This large assembly was augmented on the arrival of the up passen ger train at 8:30 o’clock bringing the Union Springs gun club and many of their friends, be sides many others from points along the road. An hour later a special train brought in the two Columbus gun clubs, accompanied by about 100 Columbusites, the Oswicliee club and the Jerir. gan club, which made the crowd about 800 or 100q And never did guests receive a warmer wel come. They were invited to the court house, and as many as could do so went up into the court chamber. Major J. F. Waddell was intro duced by President Benjamin Jennings, and words of warmer welcome could not have been years in the ministry, will miss him greatly, and j given. The major was in his element, as it r» will wish for him a career of uscftilness and called the memories of nearly fifty years ago, 4 8. B. Canty 5 j> A. P. Fitzsimmons 9 6 James Alexander 7 7 J. C*.

Peacock Corrects tin Error or Two Into Which a Correspondent Falls. RufSELL County, Ala., August 26.—Enquirer- Sun: In your Fortson correspondent’s article of yesterday on the silo of O. L. Peacock he makes me say to the question, “Do you think that corn would keep without cutting up?” “No, I do not.” I am glad to be able to correct him on this error. Corn, as well as anything else, will keep without cutting, but it requires more weight to press it in a compact mass so as to exclude the air, and I hope that your correspondent will try this way of putting up the corn that h 5 now has! ready for the silo. He informed me that he had one well under way. but the trouble was that he had no cutter or engine to cut up his ensilage. If he will try the whole stalk it may prove to him the importance of ensilage. He also makes me say “that it iurnishes green feed for cow* all winter.” If he will remember, we were speaking of rye and barley as pasture after the ensilage crop was removed from the land. It being taken off* early, it gave the farmer an early start for fall and winter pasture. Ensilage does not keep green. It cooks in the silo, and this turns it brown. The rye and barley pasture will color, while the ensilage will make the butter. I promised some time since to give yon a de scription of my silo and mode of building it, as well as Hie way to make ensilage, if any of your farmer readers would like to know about it. I re gret that there is so little desire to know about a thing that must alone prove the way to success for our farmers. Stock and pastures must bring about the change that every one professes to so much desire. We have good summer pastures, but no winter. The silo will furnish this at less cost than anything else. So let everyone try. O. L. Peacock. NEWS FROM WPKLIKA. A Residence Burned—'The First Rale of New.Cot ton—Tlie Railroad Gossip—A Business Change. Etc. honor in his western home.—Atlanta Constitu tion. A Commendable Cause. A number of the best colored cit izens of the city met at the colored Odd Fellows’ hall lust night for the purpose of taking into considera tion the best method of devising some plan for establishing an orphan’s home. Among those fire-sent were E. H. Miller, J. T. Shepherd, D. W. Fchols, W. E Terry, A. I). Howard, T. H. Price, J. C. Maund and W. H. Spencer. A resolution was adopted setting forth the necessity for an in stitution where colored children can bo cared for and providing for a public meeting to discuss the matter. E. H. Miller, W. E. Terry, T. t. Price, P. W. Echols and W. II. Spencer wore appointed n committee to arrange for the meeting. This undertaking by the colored people is a most laudable enterprise and one which should meet with hearty encouragement. Personal. Miss Eflie Peabody returned from a visit to Montgomery yesterday.

Misses Lamar, of Savannah, are at the Paul n house, en route home from the Warm Spi when he took up arms for his country in the Mexican war. He commended the gallant rivalry between the clubs, and thought it an ex ample worthy of emulation. When the late war broke out it was the hoys of the south who could bring down the squirrels from the tallest oak or shoot the swi.i-winged birds ns they fluttered through the air, that drove back the invader from our homes in the violent struggle for liberty and a cause that will never die. Mr. Canly, of the Oswicliee Gun Club, respond ed in an elegnnt and eloquent speech of ten minutes, in which Seale was made the recipient of many flattering compliments, all of which were ilchly desei ved. He was followed by Mr. Powell, of Union Springs, whose remarks were quite appropriate to the occasion. From the court house the great concourse of people adjourned to the shooting park, and then the fun began. The clubs that entered the con test were ranged in the following oitler: Colum bus, 17 strong; Union Springs, 21; Oswicliee, 12; Columbus Soutlisido, 12; Jernigan 14, and Seale 21. This made three different contests—the first wus for the best 12, the second for the best 14, the third for the best 17. Beside there was a contest between Seale and Union Springs for an equal number, both these clubs having 21 men. Soon after the shooting began dinner was an nounced, and just such another barbecue has never been seen in this country. There were about thirty mutton, twenty-five pigs and several beeves that were cooked to the very highest per fection of the culinary art. We knew hese gen-t tlemenwere farmers of the first water,but that they were such cooks it is probable that they hardly knew t hemselves. On the evening before Ool.J.M. Brannon, Messrs. Dave Ingram, John Ware and W. H. Washington took charge of the barbecue pit, and through all the silent hours of the night they watched the toasting pig and mutton until this morning, when they had ns delightful brown roast as ever graced a table. It was the univer sal comment that barbecued meat had never been cooked better. Ami it was in as much abundance as it was in quality—ninny hams and quart21-s being left over and sent to friends wVo could not be present to enjoy it.

The Groom Gets Radiy Leri. Yesterday morning we gave an account of the ejection of three negroes from the first -class pas senger coach on the Southwestern ra ilroad at Geneva. The negroes were u'om Tuskegee and were en route to Macon, where one of them, named Brown, was going to get married. On their arrival at Macon they 7 were loud in their complaints about their treatment, and threatened to sue the company. Brown got married and yesterday morning the party bought first-class tickets for their return home, and demanded of Superintendent Kline first-class accommodations. They reinsert to ride in the second-class car, so Captain Kline substi tuted for it a first-class coach instead of allowing them to go into the car with the white passen gers. When the passenger train reached this city the negro party had the car all to themselves and seemed to feel as big as lords. But the worst for them had not come.

From the beginning it has been Atlanta’s cry that she would have the pen nant if she had to steal it.

She had seriously contemplated bidding for a franchise in the Southern league next year, but wants none of it if such steals are to be carried on.

Poe. aug25 dtd wlm Mutual Life Policies Agrnin, A short time ago Mr. Wiiliam Heath, of Lake- wood, N. J., died. Many years ago he took out two policies of insurance in The Mutual Life In surance Company of Now York, one for $15,000 and the other for $5000. When these claims were settled the company paid $24,733, the $4733 being a portion of the dividends which Mr. Heath had allowed to remain unused. The total premiums paid amounted to $6139.89, so that the company returned $18,953.11 more than he had paid in, or $4.04 for every dollar invested. This is only one of the thousands of illustrations of the advantage of selecting The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, which is the largest and strongest company in the world, and which, by strict econ omy of management, is enabled to make better returns to its policy-holders than any other com pany.—Atlantic City Review. TWO CLIPPINGS FROM THE BOSTON COURIER Charles E. Adams, of Springfield, Mass., had a life policy of $1000 in The Mutual Life Insurance Company, which amount was paid to his heirs last week. The total premiums paid had amounted to only $70.84. Caleb Thompson, of South Braintree, Mass., had an endowment pol icy in the same company which matured and was paid to him, the total amount being $1231.82. The policies in The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York pay the holder at settle ment about 5'{, per cent, compound interest on the investment. D. F.
