There has as yet been no fresh devel-
opments in connection with the mysterious
disappearance of Mr. ]. D. Thomas of
Columbus. 1t has been nearly a week
now since MIR. Thomas disappeared from
his home, and it is thought that if he had
been drowned in the river the body would
have come to the surface before now. If
the body has hoated off down the river, it
is possible that it may be found by the
crew of the new steamer Jennie Ray.
This boat was scheduled to leave Apala-
chicola Thursday, and if she has good
luck she will reach Columbus the early
part of the coming week. The arrival of
the boat will be awaited with interest by
the friends of Mr.. Thomas.
