of our citizens have caught the spirit of
progression, and are about to make for

good of the town. Besides a number of
brick stores which he proposes to erect,
he has in view the building of two parks
which will add greatly to the aesthetic
feature of the place. Mr.. Rose is man
of much taste in such matters, and with
ample means at his command, he will,
no doubt, do something worthy of him

new street lights have been put in place
and the sidewalks are repaired, we shall
have a town worth seeing,

AIAB ANA.

man, died yesterday afternoon at his
home in this city.
When a young man, he followed his
master into the army and was made
drummer boy to the Fourth Alabama In
fantry. He did valiant service for the
confederacy though often tempted by
offers OF money and freedom to go over
to the enemy.
He shared the honors of defeat
Since the war the old man has made
an honest living by plying his art as a
plasterer. and he always received the
patronage of the residents of this commu-
nifty who We're in the gallant Fourth Ala
bama.
Walker Wrinkle, an employe of the West
Huntsville Cotton mills, was dangerously
wounded last night by a number OF as
socates. A pistol bullet is lodged in his
groin.
The story connected with the case
shows up the recklessness of a crowd of
boys. SO far as can be learned, crowd
of Wrinkles companions made it up to
meet him while passing through a
stretch of dark woods and scare him by
firing pistols. They fired, and when he
did not run they repeated the fire with
an aim too accurate.
Wrinkle was accompanied by young
man named Green, who was to do his
part in carrying out the plans. When
the shooting commenced he fell as If
shot and begged Wrinkle to fly for his
life. Wrinkle did not run and the next
moment he fell dangerously wounded.
The police have taken the case in hand
and if the boys are fortunate enough TO
prove the shooting to have been acci-
dental, they will be prosecuted for reck-
less shooting on public highway. If not,
they will go I'D for assault to murder.
The exact number implicated is not yet
known,

as an Artist.
enLs, 822.


Jasper, Nov. 1S.-(Special Correspond
ce.)-Some weeks ago the citizens of
Florence offered a valuable gold medal
for the best design for a floral display, all
the citizens, the students and teachers of
the various schools of the city as well as
the resident artists were asked to enter
into the competition.
Many designs were presented, some
by old artists who had had the best adj
vantages in the eastern schools of art.
Among those submitted was one by Mr..
Fisher c. Daniel, a student in the Nor
NAL college from near this place. The
designs were all taken in charge by a
committee of artists who were selected
to pass the merits of each and select the
best. After carefully considering each
design the one submitted by our young
friend Daniel was voted the most artistic
of all and the medal was awarded to him.
His design was a Maltese cross with the
figures "16 to II entwined.
Mr.. Chamblee, OF the firm of Chamblee
Bros, Birmingham, is in Jasper looking

An effort is being made by the citizens
of that part of Walker county, cut off to
Blount several years ago. to have 1t and
a strip running up Ryan's creek, now be-
longing to Culman, restored to Walker
county. Nearly all the citizens living in
the territory favor coming back to
Walker county and the legislature now
In session will be asked to make the
change in the county lines. and we are
satisfied Col. Appling will do all he can
to have it restored. That is valuable
strip of country, inhabited by good pros
porous farmers, and we would be glad to
receive them back.

white man, a year ago stole a side of
bacon and a bicycle and was sentenced
to three years. He was placed in the

concluded that he had been punished
enough for the crime, and attempted to
escape. Two guards discharged double
barrel shotguns at him, mutilating both
legs. Boyles was captured and placed
in the hospital. Twenty-six other con-
victs in the gang who had agreed to
break for liberty with Boyles weakened,
and none escaped. Boyles is likely to

we are sure that the road will be pushed

from the time the road is completed our

Why? Because a competing line will
give us the same advantage in freight
rates that Montgomery now enjoys, and
with cheap freight manufacturing enter
prises will be established. The cotton
market will improve, and be one of the

ITS ANNUAL MEETING.
The Woman's Church Missionary As sociation Listened to Reports and Elected Officers.

| The Woman's Church Missionary As
 sociation Listened to Reports and Elected Officers.
 The annual meeting of the Woman's Church Missionary association, a branch of the Woman's Auxiliary of Connecticut, was called to order at 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the Trinity parish building on Temple street.
 The report of the recording secretary, Mrs. r. c. Rowland, was read and ac- cepted. In this report Mrs. Rowland said that more work in missionary lines had been done in the past year than ever before. One hundred dollars had been given to Mrs. Bulford's hospital in LaWrenceville, Va. Much work has been done in Alaska, also in the west and south. During the past year the association has held one meeting each month and at nearly every meeting a paper was read relating to some sub- ject in connection with the work of the year. These papers were prepared by the different members of the associo- tion and were essays on Alaska, China, South Dakota and other missionary fields.
 The meetings have been addressed by Bishop Talbott of Idaho and Wyo- ming, Bishop Rowe of Alaska and Dr. Driggs of Alaska, also several church dignitaries from Colorado and South Dakota.
 The association has lost during the past year one of its most earnest work CTS, Miss Susan B. Cover, an officer of the Woman's Auxiliary. Miss Gower died last February, and was most earnest worker in foreign and domes- tic missions and one of the leaders in the Woman's Church Missionary asso- ciation
 The next business in order after the report of the secretary was the report of the treasurer, followed by the elec- ton of officers for the coming year. It is probable that the officers of last year will be reelected, as they have filled their positions with great credit to themselves and to the organization. The officers for the past year were: Mrs. Timothy Bishop, president; Mrs. Fred c. Rowland, recording secretary; Mrs. D. c. Eaton, corresponding secre- | tary, and Mrs. George Futile, treasur- CT. By some mistake at the annual meeting last year the names of the vice presidents were never recorded, and as there has been no call for them during the year every one seems to have for gotten who they were.
 At the close of the business meeting paper was read on the diocese of | Connecticut. This paper was prepared by Miss Caroline R. Jones. The society has distributed about $500 I during the year.

At the Church of the Redeemer Tonight
 Tickets Limited to the Seating Capacity
 of the Church.
 New Haven is to have the third pub- lie lecture of Dr. Watson's American tour, and we note in the Saturday issue of the Springfield Republican that on Friday evening the first readings from the Annals of Drumtochty" were giv- en before an American audience.
 For the satisfaction of some inquir- CTS who have been fearful that they might not understand the Scotch dia- lect, we quote from the experience of the Springfield audience who were heard frankly to confess after the en- tertainment was over that they had gone not expecting to understand a word, simply that they might have a look at the man who created Dr. Mac Lure.
 But the lecturer wisely confined him. self to the kings English, except in the passages from his books which were briefer and occupied a less important part of the lecture than had been anti cipated. As he wisely said, His hear CTS could read the book for themselves"
 In an interview yesterday afternoon, Dr. Watson said that the illustrations for his lecture would be taken from the following stories, "The Scholar" 'The Servant Lass "The Cunning Speech of Drumtochty,'' How We Carried the News to Whinnie Howe,' Jamie Sou lar" and "The Doctor"
 We are asked to again assure the public that the seating capacity of the Church of the Redeemer is more than equal to the number of tickets that will be used, so that it will not be nec- essary for the audience to wait an hour or more at the doors in order to secure a good seat during the lecture.
 It is hoped that the ladies in the au- dience will remove their hats as the seats of the church are all on a level, and the views would otherwise be much obstructed.
