In Leed’s valley in the northwest- ingham (Ala.) letter to the Cincin- nati Commercial-Gaze tte, there is a colony of Shermanites. There about 100 families, and a happier, more contented people’tan not be found in the world. THeir religious rites and ceremonies are peculiar. Who found ed the society none of them seem to .| know, but it is very old, as the fath- ers and grandfathers of the present generation were Shermanites. They claim to follow the teachings of the New Testament in spirit and in let- ter, and they believe that only Sher- manites will inherit the kingdom of heaven. They have churches and preachers and worship in a manner similar to many other religious sects. One of the peculiar rites is the wash- ing of feet. A footwashing service is held once in every month, at which the preacher washes the feet of every member of the church. The mem- bers then in turn wash the feet of preacher and each other. The ser- vice usually lasts all day, being in- terspersed with singing and prayer. Members of all other religious de- nominations they regard as heathen and send missionaries among them instead of sending them to foreign lands. Shermanites never cut their hair or beard, claiming that Christ never patronized barber shops. A Shermanite who falls from grace is lost forever, and he must always live up to certain moral and business rules, which are very rigid. To pay all debts is a part of their religion. No man can be saved who does not pay his neighbor what he owes him. They never charge one another inter- est on a loan, and no written ac- knowledgement of a debt is ever given. The word of ‘a Shermanite is his bond and it becomes his sacred duty for him to fulfill every promise made. They are an indus- trous people, because industry is a part of their creed. The Shermanites are all small farmers, but most of them own their own farms and some stock. Many of them are compelled to purchase a few supplies in this city every summer, for which they are unable to pay cash. Where their peculiar religion is known they have no trou- ble in securing all the credit they want. They give no notes or securi- ty of any kind, but merchants who have done business with them for years have never lost a dollar due them from a Shermanite customer. Their preachers accept no pay for preaching the gospel, working on their farms during the week as hard as any member of the church. Di- vorce is unkown among these people, and the women are all vir tuous. Drunkenness is another vice unknown among these people, as they follow to the letter the advice of the apostle, who said, “Be tem- perate in all things.” Their homes are models of neatness and comfort, and the stranger is always welcome within their gates. It would be al- most an insult totender them pay- ment for food, lodging, or any other favor shown to a stranger. The Shermanites make few converts to their peculiar region, but they lose no members, and seem happy and contented in simply holding their own. One remarkable thing about them is that they will have nothing to do with courts and lawyers. A lawsuit in which a Shermanite was plaintiff cannot be found on the court records in the country. They never seek le- galadvice unless it is absolutely necessary. All their differences are settled by arbitration, mutual friends being the arbitrators, and the civil courts are never under any circum. stances restored to. They seek in every way possible to avoid jury , duty or being summoned as witness- esinany cases They take no part in polities, and a Shermanite was never known to hold an office of any kind. Some of them vote at every | election, but they have no campaign \ clubs in their community, and every | man is allowed to vote as he pleases. \ Many of them never vote at all. | The first settlers of this Sherman- ‘ ite colony came to Alabama from | South Carolina and Georgia about forty five years ago. The oldest of | them say their ancestors came orig- inally from New England, but they | are unable to say who was the foun- | der of their society. | Admits Her Guilt. { Mexico, Mo., Aug. 13.—At the June term of court W. P. Hooton i was found guilty of attempting to | take improper liberties with May Blanton, a 12-year-old girl, and sen- tenced to 90 days impnsonment and to pay a fine of $50. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court. Au-} gust 1 the girl who had ran away | from her home in Kansas City and | had been given a home by Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Lane, returned to Kansas City. To-day, just before the court | adjourned the attorneys for Hooton ; presented the motion to set aside | the verdict in the case, alleging that new testimony had been found since the trial that proved the defendant's innocence. This testimony consisted of the affidavit of May Blanton, the prosecuting witness, who swore that her testimony on the trial of the case was false, that Hooton had treated | her likea gentleman aud that she | had been induced to swear falsely by Mr. and Mrs. Lane, who, the affida vit says, told her that she would have to go to the penitentiary if she did not swear as they told her to. | The reading of the affidavit created asensation. Judge Hughes has the matter under advisement. Rheumatismno Longer A Terror | This much dreaded disease has been | relieved ot all its horrors by that wonder } ful discovery BALLARD’S SNOW LIN- IMENT.

A newly elected justice of the peace delivered the following charge to the jury the other day: “Gentle- men of the jury, charging a jury is a new business to me, as thisis my first case. You have heard all the evidence in this case as well as my- | self; you also heard what the learn- ed counsel have said. If you believe what the counsel for the plaintiff has told you, your verdict will be for the plaintiff; but, if on the other hand you believe what the counsel for the defendant has told you your verdict will be for the defendant. | But if you are like me, and don't be- | lieve what either one of them have said, then Il] be d—d if I know | what you willdo.

Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 13.—For souie time Tobias Jackagon, an old negro living near Bessemer,had been proclaiming himself nas Daniel the the prophet and doing all kinds of singular, wild and strange ‘things. The darkies are ignorant and super- stitious and Jackson's actions and the great power with which he claim- ed to have been invested awed them. Saturday he persuaded three young negroes that they were representa- tives of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, the three children of faith who entered the fiery furnace of Nebuchadnezzar and they could pass through without the smell of fire. . The three negroes calling them- selves the three children of Israel, under the influence of their new prophet, deliberately entered the gate of the cupola of the furnace and rushed headlong before they could be stopped into the white heat of the melting iron. When they failed to come out Jackson the prophet proclaimed that he saw them rising out of the furnace in the smoke attended by angels, and said 'that they would revisit the earth again next Sunday. The negroes propose to meet at the church next Sunday and pray, awaiting the descent of the three children of Israel. The mother of one of them said when asked about the matter; “I feel jest sho’ my boy in heben as if fd done been dar Jackson the prop het comman’ ‘im to walk in de fiery fur- nace ‘an he ‘bleeged to “bey “im.” -Mr D.

I have known it to make wonderful cures of per- sons with blood diseases, some cases which had been regarded as incura- ble. Dr. B. T. Coppedge, of Verona, Mo., says he has sold a large quan- tity of Swift’s Specific, and to a great many customers, and knows it to be most successfully used for mal- | dies of the blood. Swift's Specific is not one of the old potash, sarsaparilla, or mercury mixtures. It contains no potash, no mercury, or any poisonous substance.

He figures the cost per acre at $2,80 for interest on money and land: 90 cents for cost of seed wheat; $1,00 for eost of breaking ground; 40 cents for cost of preparing ground and drilling; $1,30 for cost of cutting, binding and shocking, $1, 50 for cost of threshing; 30 cents for cost of mark- eting and 15 cent for taxes.and inci- dentals, making a total of $8,35 per acre cost, with a gross return of . $9 on the wheat raised- This leaves a net return of 65 cents an acre, on a hundred acres. That is money enough to buy one taxed overcoat at $15; one taxed suit of clothes at $15; one taxed pair of boots at $3; two taxed shirts at $1 each—leaving $10 for taxed sugar; $10 for salt, and $5 for silk dresses, pianos, Brus- | sels carpets and other luxuries for the farmer's wife and for the ex- pense of sending his daughters to boarding-school. In this country, where farmers raise wheat and wise men eat it, $65 a year profit on a hundred-acre farm as the result of economical and intelligent manage ment is not to be sneezed at—Repub- lie. Drunkenness or the Liquor Habi Positively Curea by administering Dr. Haines’ Golden Specific. It can be given in a cup of coffee or tea without the knowledge ot the person tak- ingit; is absalutely harmless and will ettect a permanent and speedy cure, whether the patient is a moderate drink- er or an alcoholic wreck. Thousands of drunkards have been made temperate men who have taken Golden Specific in their coffee without their knowledge, and to-day believe they quit drinking ot their own free will. It never fails. The sys tem once impregnated with the Specific it becomes an utter impossibility tor the liquor appetite toexist. For tull partic ulars, address GOLDEN SPECIFIC CO., 185 Race st.
