Mr. Henry Sellman died at his home in
the northern part of the city Monday
night, the 27th, after a brief illness of two

gret to learn of his sudden death. Heart
felt sympathies are extended to his mother
and two sisters, who remain to mourn his
departure. He was buried in the Coium-
bus cemetary Wednesday morning. Rev.
W. B. Carter conducted the funeral ser
vices.
On Monday night last quite a number of
our people, both ladies and gentlemen,
met at the armory hall of the Tom Jones
Rifles to see the company mustered into
State service. Promptly at 8 o’clock the
meeting was called to order, and Rev.
J. B. K. Smith, of Trinity church, opened
the evening program with a beautiful
and appropriate prayer. Lieutenant
S. T. Westcott, of Battery “B :
of the Second regiment of A. S. T.,
and who presided at the meeting, an
nounced that the first thing in order was
the election of officers. Nominations for
captain were then called for and the name
of J. W. Roby was put before the house.
Capt. Roby had no opposition and was
unanimously elected. Capt. Roby then
nominated T. F. Freeman for first lieuten
ant, and he was elected without opposi
tion. T. W. Cochran was then nominated
and unanimously elected second lieutenant.
The muster roll was then signed by
forty as fine looking and gentlemanly
young men as the grand old State of Ala
bama affords. A finer body of young men
than are on the muster roll of the Tom
Jones Rifles cannot be found upon any
other, and we feel perfectly safe in saying
that it will not be long before the Rifles
will bring home to Phenix City the first
prize from a warmly contested drill. A
fine speech was then made by Rev. J. B.
K. Smith giving the members of the com
pany some good advice and pointing out to
them the road to fame as a soldier.
Having had four years experience of
actual service he was prepared to tell
the boys a great many things that most
of them knew nothing of. One of his
best remarks was that if a riot should oc
cur in our town it would not take our citi
zens two minutes and a half to telegraph
the Governor to order the Tom Jones
Rifles out, and knowing this to be a fact
they should not take more than one min
ute and a quarter to run their hands in
their pockets and furnish the means for
the boys to equip themselves with. Capt-
tain J. W. Roby then verv gracefully and
appropriately thanked Mr. Smith for his
remarks, and also for his company re
turned thanks to Lieutenant Westcott.
The meeting was then closed with prayer
by Rev. Mr. Smith. The boys have been
formally organized and may they ever be
an honor to him whose name they bear is
our wish.—East Alabama Times.
COMMISSIONERS OF COMMONS.
CALLED
GIRARD.
The usual services will be held at the
Baptist church today by the pastor, Rev.
W. B. Carter.
Will Boram, the insolent negro who w r as
cut in the neck by Mr. Will Cogbill on
Monday night last, is doing well.
The Baptists of Girard are taking time
by the forelock by inakiug preparations for
the painting of their church and building
a new parsonage. Rev. W. B. Carter in
formed a reporter that about $1,200 would
be expended for these improvements in a
short while. The mere thought of having
the court house in Girard gives the citi
zens encouragement to push forward the
building boom.
The mass meeting was held Monday-
night, as appointed, at which the report of
the committee on the charter was re
ceived. The charter as reported by the
committee is being read, amended and
adopted by sections. The meeting Monday j
was adjourned until Friday evening, i
and not being able to complete this work,
will be held again tomorrow night, and
continued every night thereafter until the

That you may reap the benefits of this
arrangement, you must get a certificate
from the railroad agent where you pur
chase a through ticket, that you paid full
fare to Atlanta. This certificate will be
countersigned by Secretary John Trimble,
and you will be able to purchase a return

Birmingham, November 1.—[Special*]
—The Alabama State Fair closed today,
after a successful season of two weeks. It
was the second fair ever held in Birming
ham. The big show was in successful
progress for two weeks. Financially it
was a success; otherwise it attracted a
great crowd and was a big exposition of
the agricultural and mineral wealth and
thrift of Alabama.

ITING COLUMBUS,
An enthusiastic meeting of the Colum
bus branch of the Southern Travelers’ As
sociation was held at their headquarters
yesterday afternoon to prepare for the re
ception on Merchants’ Day, Tuesday, No
vember 11th, of the inany visitors ex
pected and whom the drummer boys are
going to give a royal welcome.
The meeting was called to order by
President J. E. Frizzell, who stated that
owing to his absence from the city for the
last few days he would nominate F. B.
Gordon as chairman of the meeting. Mr.
Gordon stated the plans so far as arranged
and, upon motion of Mr. B. G. Farmer, a
general committee of seven was appointed
with full powers to take entire charge of
all arrangements. The committee as ap
pointed is as follows: J. E. Frizzell, Chair
man; B. G. Farmer, Henry Ingrain, J. F.
C. Griggs, J. Kyle Nuckolls, C. M. Law,
T. H. Bergan.

Thos. J. Mims, the couple who were mar
ried before fifteen thousand people and
took the trip in the balloon, going two
miles high and traveling twenty miles in
all, received many ciurtesies from the
fair management and the general public.
Another couple were to be married under
similar circumstances yesterday, but they
backed out at the last moment. The bal
loon went up any way, and Prof. Baldwin
took M. S. Gann and Gentry Hillman, two
well known young men, with him. They
made a voyage of about thirty miles.
The next thing in Alabama in the way
of fairs is the Southern Exposition at
Montgomery, which opens the coming
v/eek. It promises to be an attractive
show, and no doubt will prove a howling
success. The Exposition at. Montgomery
last year was a grand success.
Other Alabama cities that have either
held or will hold fairs this year are Ope
lika, Huntsville and Greenville.

No confidence is violated in publishing
the details of the enterprise, as the plana
have been copyrighted, and all that ia
required to place them in practical
operation are the energy of capital and
the establishment of a newspaper to ac
quaint the public with their advantages.
“You see,” said Mr. Bradley, “it is
like this: I will have an agent in every
town and county of the United States to
get names and furnish them to the cen
tral office. It will cost them that has
their names in the directory fifty cents
apiece for enrollment, and a stamp to
identify theirselves by. Every man will
be registered in this way: say, for in

a-nd he is said to have been hurt. He
made claims for insurance money. The
case was referred by the company to Chew,
who did not see fit to approve it for either
all or any of the money. A bitter corre
spondence took place. When the men
met a difficulty ensued, resulting in the
killing.
Chew was a young man, and had been
married only about a month at the time of
his death. He stood very high in the
community. Davis is also a young man,
and bears a splendid character. He has
since been under a $50,000 bond. Nearly
a hundred witnesses were summoned in
the case, many of them being doctors, who
attended the medical society meeting on
the fatal night. The result is awaited
with interest.

The municipal contest in Birmingham
is drawing to a close. Ex-Mayor A. O.
Lane and Col. B. L. Hibbard are the only-
candidates for Mayor. A primary election
to be held November 0 will decide the
nomination. Only Democrats will vote at
the election. The registration, which
closed a few days ago, shows that 3,289
votes will be cast. Lane men claim a ma
jority by about 800.- Hibbard’s support
