 Tuskaloosa Times: W. D. Seeds hard- ware store was entered by burglars last night. aud $14 in cash and Winchester rifle were taken. The thief gained admis. sion to the store by means of window overlooking an alley at the side of the building. The sash not being fastened, all that he had to do was to raise the same and step in.

 Anniston Hot Blasts Ali Truitt, always ready to do anything that will advance the agricultural interests of this section, is go- ing to get up display of the farm, orchard and vineyard products of Calhoun county and keep on exhibition at his store or in convenient room near by. He hasn't de- cided yet where to put 1t, but as he hardly has room in bis store space will probably have to be secured somewhere else.

 Scottsboro Citizen: A little son of MT. J. E. Mason of Larkinville met with an acci. dent one day last week that was almost miraculous. The little fellow was playing around the well in the yard and by some means fell into the well, a distance of 36 feet. The little fellow, who is about years old, was missed by his parents and search wts soon made for him. They failed to find him and concluded to have the we'll examined, when, to tAeir great surprise, he was found standing in the we'll, the water not being very deep. He was taken out unhurt, and in an hour wac playing about the premises as though nothing had happened. This is probably the most re- markable case of it's kind on record.
 Troy Democrat: Quite an exciting and what came near being fatal runaway oc- cured on our streets late Tuesday evening. Dr. E. II. Johnson's horse became fright ened near the City hotel on North Three Notch street and ran toward the square. The horse was stopped at the livery stable by some parties. She was loosed and begun running again, but was kept under very good control by the doctor until the square was reached, when the buggy ran against the electric light post in front of M. J. Russ and the doctor and horse were both thrown on the pavement. Dr. Johnson re- ceved very severe and painful wound on the back of the head and bled profusely. It was very narrow escape, and had it not been for the prompt action of several par ties in reaching him the horse would have trampled him to death. It was miracu- lous escape, and the doctors mauy friends are very grateful that he fared no worse,
