Railroad Notes.
In some states it is made the duty
of every railroa I company in the state

at every passenger depot whether its
trains arejm time, or how late. A
failuc to do this subjects a company to
a heavy fine.

lows another so closely that this is
impossible.

Tho Alliance in Kansas.
Topeka, Oct. 17.—Tho State Alli
ance has beonln secret session at Itep-
.reseulnlive ball since early this morn
ing. The principal and most import
ant part of to-day’s proceedings was
the election of stnto officers, which
drew tho delegates into a fight, which,
it is said, will be disastrous to the or
ganization. Tho constitution of the
Farmers’ AUinncc declares that it is
’ion-partisan, but to-day in the secret
session of the order, the candidates for
stale officers wore compelled to express
their political sontiments liefo-e being
elected, and every ono of the officers
elected, declared themselves to lie for
I ho People’s party, the election of
'Villeta and tho whole ticket. This
order of procedure did not meet with
approval by many of the delegates,
but they were in tho minority, altho’
they represented the best part of the
\llianco. A. E. Dickinson, the state
lecturer, refused to indorse any such
action, and from this time oil he
would liavo nothing to do with the
Alliance. Frank McGrath, of Mitch-
e’l county, was elected president. A
woman from tho southern part of the
state, whose name could not be ob
tained, wns made vice president. J.
R French, of Hutchinson, was re
elected secretary, and Vnu B. Prather,
assistant lecturer, w.as made State lec
turer.

To be Married in Cotton Bagging.
“The Atlanta Journal says :
That two double cotton bagging
weddings will bs on the Piedmont Ex
position program next week.
One of the double weddings will
take place on Wednesday and the
other on Thursday.
On Thursday, October 30th, Rev.
Sain Jones ol Cartersville will be on

couples in the holy bonds of matrinio
ny:
Mr. Edgar Puller of Atlanta rnd
Miss l’c.vl George of Atlanta.
Mr. F. M. Lacy of Cobb county and
Miss Anna Kirk of Cobb county.
On Thursday, Oct. 30th, Dr. Haw
thorne will marry the following couples:
“Mr. G. W. Stovall, of Gwinnett
county, and Miss An.onctt Petty of
Gwinnet county.
Mr. William Eryair, ot Fulton coun
ty, and Mrs. Ba.rer, of Atlanta.
All the couples will he dressed in
cotton bagging.
I he ceremonies will take place on a
b rautifully decorated platform imme
diately opposite the grand stand and
iu full view of all the speciatots. Mr.
H. II. Cabanis’, chairman of thb wed
ding committee, says the occasion will
be made as at'ractive as possible.
The couples will be taken to the Ex
position grounds in carriages drawn
by milk white horses, and a band of
music will be at ihc bead of the pro
cession. Handsome presents con
tributed by the merchants and citizens
generally will be given to the couples
after the marriage ceremonies.’’
Will not the publicity and spectac
ular surroundings, rob the solemn cer
emony of much of its beauty and sig
nificence ? It would seem t;'at a re
fined woman would shrink from being
made a show of, on the occasion ot
her marriage to the man ol her choice.
However il is none of our business,
but it strikes us, all the same, as being
a little out of older.

The Augusta Evening Nows says:
In this state a majority of the mem
bers of tho Lcgis'aUro are AUiancr -
men, and they are also democrats.
They were all elected as democrats.
Do they propose to legislate as A’’i-

purpose to obey 5 istruelions from
their respective county Alliances, or
the instructions from the democrats of
their respective counties ?
If you wish to have yourself parad
