SOME HISTORY. "It is not generally known that Alabama has furnished a Vice- President, but such is the case. He was W. R. King and served from 1853 till 1857, when Franklin Pierce was President, says the Mo' bile Item.

Our contemporary has not read history to advantage or it is careless in rendering it. W. R. King was elected Vice-President on the ticket as stated, took the oath of office in Cuba by an enabling act of Congress and cued a month lat er, just before reaching his home near belma. He was virtually dy ing when he was sworn in office and held it for a week or so until death came, consequently he never 'served from 1853 to 1857." His honored remains repose in Sel- ma cemetery the city he founded and named.

It is painted red with black trim mings and on each side in gold letters is the word "Alline," the wagon being named for Chief Adams' little daughter Until permanent quarters can be ar ranged the wagon and hose will be kept in the Chambers' stables, on Battle street, where they will be attended both day and night by Martin Holmes who has been employed for that pur pose.

This, is a long needed improve ment, and will reduce danger from fire very much. TALLADEGA COTTON FACTORY. TJiei annual meeting of the stockhold ers of Talladega Cotton Factory was held in the office of First National Bank Monday. J. B.

Fbazibr. AT THE OPERA HOUSE. Tomorrow evening theatre-goers will have the pleasure of witnessing Lincoln J. Carter's great railroad play "The Fast Mail." That this play is one of merit is evinced by the many successful seasons it has behind it and as yet there is no sign of its popularity being on the wane. The scenic productions are 'thrilling and realistic.

A strong company has charge of the play and are making a great record this season. At 6 30 p. March 5, the church of Plantersville was opened to receive the friends and relatives who had come to witness the union of, Mr. B. F.

Caldwell and Miss Hunter Cook in the holy bonds of wedlock. The church presented a lovely picture, having been artistically decorated with magnolias and lighted with wax candles under the supervision of Mrs. Lula Blanton. The never-to-grow-6ld "Annie Laurie" was sung by Miss Eatelle Wilson while the bridal party were arranging to enter, and never did the song seem sweeter or more appropriate than on this happy occasion. As the famous Mendelsohn's wedding march was played by Miss Mamie Perryman, the bride and groom with Miss Annie Cook, sister of the bride, as maid of honor, and Mr.

Joe Sawyer, best man, were ushered in by Messrs. Tom andC. H. Cook. Rev.

T. M.Wilson, pastor of the church, performed the ceremony in a solemn and impressive style. The bride and groom went immediately to their home recently painted and made ready by the groom to receive the queen of his home. Among the many valuable and useful presents none were more highly appre ciated than the banquet presented bj the groom. The bride is a daughter of Mr, and Mrs.

R. E. Cook of this place, and is highly esteemed by all who know her. The groom ia one of the county's most sterling and substantial young men. We bespeak for them a happy and useful future.

May their lives "have just enough clouds to temper the glare of the sun," is the wish of A Fbibnd. DELEGATES FROM BEAT FIVE.

Several of our people attended service at Risers Chapel last Sunday. We al ways bear a good sermon from Brother Wilson. There was quite an excitement in our community last week over the fact that a young man by the name of Riggins was accidentally shot by bis cousin. Dr. Prescott was soon to his side, and he is now doing nicely.

Miss Kate Howard went down to Syl- acauga to attend the teachers meeting last Thursday and Friday. Mrs. J. B. Russell received quite a painful injury in the dislocation of her arm by being thrown from a buggy a few days ago, but is improving rapidly.

Mr. Forrester, of near this place, was buried at Alpine last Sunday. He was a devoted Christian and a good citizen. He will be greatly missed. If the two girls of your town will come back again, I think some of our boys will go all the way next time.

Mrs. Lucy Hudgins is over from Bir mingham with her sister, Miss Thula Pope, for a few days. Mr. B.F.Caldwell and Miss Hunter Cook were united in marriage at Plantersville church last Tuesday night. Mr.

Nothing else as good.
