The residence of a.

The recovery of te goods led to of seeing how heavy he make WALKED FROM MARION. DECISION WAS RESERVED the fines, for he gave them the limit.

He is a barbecue out at the race track yesterday which -was the first of the season. Mr. Renick will leave Selma paid to Miss Lee by members of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and by the members of the United Confederate camps of this city, in sending representatives with many beautiful floral designs and tributes, to the Union station as the train passed through conveying the remains to the home of the Lees in Virginia, where the body will be interred in the family burying ground.

It was a fitting tribute, because this was the first oapital of the Confederacy, a confederacy for which her distinguished father fought so gallantly and made a name which goes down into, history as one of the bravest and jnoblest Romans of them all. It was fitting because in no eHy in the South are there such loyal hearts, so loyal to the cause for which her honored father had fought and lost, as there are in Montgomery. Fitting because it was a tribute from brave men and noble women subscriber to The Daily Times but Will Chambers was only an em ployee of the establishment and he got his Wednesday's issue too late to get the train for Selma. At 12 o'clock that night he mounted his horse and rode over to Massillon, was let off with a fine of $100. Both negroes gave notice of an appeal and Mayor Atkint fixed 2 1-2 miles beyond Marion Junction their bonds at $200 in each case he says he will approve the intending to take the train there, but he arrived a little too late.

Mr. Renick has a host of friends in Selma and they were delighted to have him spend the winter with us again and hope that he will, have a successful summer when he goes up north. He is a most genial, companionable fellow and makes frienlslfeall with whom he comes in contact. surety is offered, He then concluded to walk down the track to Marion Junction and Yesterday morning two negroes, Charlie Carson and Will Chambers, were up before his honor, Mayor Atkins, for selling liquor in a restaurant on Ncrth street, on the ho Sabbath day.

These negroes had no license and were violatinfthe laws of both the state and the city, and now that they have been caught the mayor will doubtless give them a good fine when he renders his decision this morning. The law oannot be two severe on parties when they are caught selling whiskey and violating the Sabbath and ought to make the matter go harder with them. The grand jury will doubtless take up the question and in the days to oome these two negroes may be oraoking coal tor the state. All blind tigers, white and black, should be made to understand that we have laws that must be obeyed and respected, The Times most heartily ap oatch the Mobile cannon ball there proves of Mayor Atkins's action. 1 The blind tiger, whether he be white or colored, should be made to feel that there is a law and it must be respected.

Bight here The Times will take occasion to warn all those parties in the country who are selling whiskey te stop. Judge Miller and mi. the arrest of three negro men, namely, George Daniels, Moses Brown and Lovio Burden. They were in the polioe court yesterday morning, but their cases were con-tined Tswtil next Tuesday morning. It looks like these negroes are a gang of professional car breakers, and if so the officers have done a big day's work in breaking them up and bringing them to justice.

On Friday night last the Elks held an election of officers for the ensuing year, which resulted as follows John W. Marshall, Exalted Ruler R. E. L. Niel, Esteemed Leading Knight.

The Times hails with delight the organization of the Central Fair Association and feels that great gonrt is going to result from the same. As was stated in these ool-umns yesterday, ovea $5,000 has been subscribed and that with the gate, receipts and entrance fees will give us sufficient money to have a good fair. We want it to be such a success that the original capital will not have to be touched and the foundation Jor annual Central Alabama Fait be perma and ride into Selma. He heard the train obming and ran three of a mile and arrived at the Junction just in time to see the rear light of tde train disappearing down the tract, He sat down and got his breath and then began to soliloquize: "I read in The Times v-hat Judge Miller did to 'Speedy' Johnson for slamming a dcor, and what be did to the other prominent citizen for laughing too loud at a joke, and if I don't get to town in time he will fine me $50, so I will walk 1" With that Col.

Potter pitched out and walked all the way to the oity, fourteen miles farther, and he arrived in Selma just as the gray dawn of the morning was breaking in the eHStern sky, He was tired and footsore, and he had not taken such a walk since he surrendered with Gen, Lee at Appomattox. He went around to the court house and sat down on the steps and was of the South to a woman who was a typical representative in soul and sentiment of the noblest that is left as a heritage to the South, and be-cause we should cherish the name of Lee and venerate to the end of time, and thus impress those who come after us by preeept and example, that it is a most sacred part of southern chivalry and southern history. Fitting because Miss Lee was a brilliant young woman, the type and flower of all that is sweetest and purest and truest in souther womanhood and in southern sentiment. Fitting because in her own right and by virtue of Hber own beautif ul womanhood, she oommanded the love and affections of our people, and won the way into the hearts of all coming within the magio of her charm of manner and person. Fitting because, last but not least, in the language of the New Orleans States, "although gifted to shine in any station, and with the homage of the rioh and titled laid at her feet, she nevertheless turned away from, all these, and olung with.pas-sionate devotion to the land of the nently iaid.

Superintendent Hicks moved into his quarters and today some of the county's old and feeble wards will be moved out to the home. This home is a move in the right direction and The Times is sinoere-ly of the opinion that it will save the county many a dollar each year, and will very materially out down the number of those who apply for help. The United Charities will also be relieved of a great burden Capt.

Mr. Moore was one of the best men in West 3llas, He was a Democrat of the old school and did his duty like a true man during the dark days, and helped to redeem Dallas county from Republican misrule. He was an uncle of Mr. Walter Moore, of this city, and has host of friends in Selma who will hear of his deth with profound regret. great interest to our vfcity and all 'the country contiguous to Selma.

He went with the Shanahan brigade about a week or ten days, and then Meyor Atkins got sorry for him and remitted the balanoe of his fine. As soon as Twilley was released from the chain-gang it developed that he had a considerable roll of money, but had rather hold on to it and work on the streets than pay himself out.

Twilley is said to have had several hundred dollars saved up. He played a pretty shrewd game on the oity authorities, and saved about $50 by working ten days. John Burns, the negro who was oaught stealing snuff and sugar from L. E. Lamar, was given $45 or 90 days, in polioe oourt yesterday morning.
