 Knitting Mill for Tuskaloosa.-The Evening Times prints the following; Our enterprisng citizen, Col. J. j. All ston presented petition to the board of mayor and aldermen last night to grant hins and associates the old cotton warehouse site or some locality to build a knitting factory. The board appoint ed a good committee to take up this matter and report as quickly as praetl- cable This very important undertake ing will give employment to forty girls. And will be a great help to our city. We have had occasion to examine into this project, and 1t affords the Times much satisfaction to say that Colonel Aston has closed the contract with parties in a5eridian for the purchase of this plant. and there seems to be no doubt that the city will do the needful in donating the lot for it's location.

Her baby was playing in the yard with an older child and climbed upon the we'll curb. The plank cover fell through, car rying the child with it. Upon hearing screams Mrs. Williams rushed out, let the rope down the II feet to the water and with feet in the ledges of rock and hands on the rope she was soon at the waters edge and had the baby safely in her arms, it having held to the plank.
 A Hustling Farmer-The Wilcox New
