 The town marshal decided yesterday that he would see what excuse some tramps could give. why they should not be driven from the town, and as they had to get we suppose their excuse was not considered good by the marshal. There are too many tramps allowed in our town during the yellow fever fright
 The Mormon elders are said to be in and around this place. It is not pre- stunned that our people will molest them if they will let the wives of this com munity alone. They have not bothered any of the citizens wives as yet The story about such things in the western part of the county is not true, the Selma newspapers to the contrary notwith- standing.
 W. W. Pearce is putting in stock of fancy groceries in the same building with his market.
 The schools have opened up fully at- tended by the children of the town and surrounding country.

 It is not we'll known that we have two newspapers printed and edited in the borders of our town, but such is the case. We have the Prattville Progress and the Church Helper They are both creditable papers of the kind, too.

THE END OF T0wSER, THE DRUNKARD.
A Dissipated Dog Killed on the Railway While
 Under the Influence of Beer.

From the St. Louis Republic.
 "Towser," the tramp dog, who was known to almost every East St. Louisi- an, is no more. He met his death yes- terday afternoon beneath the wheels Of a switch engine near the relay d:pot, East St. Louis. His remains were buri- ed on the lot east of the Martell house.
 "Towser' was about years old and was 8 confirmed drunkard. He was we'll known to ev4ry saloon keeper in East St. Louis and especially to the sa- loonists on the island He drlGted into East St. Louis from some point no one is sure of the place, and made his home among the swItchmen and railroad men that congregaIte in th+ railroad yards in East St. Louis. He was then quite young. One evening, as some of the men were drinking beer after their days work, 1t was suggested that the dog b. given taste. An old can was pro- cured and some of the beer poured in. The dog smellsd it, tasted it, and in a few seconds had lapped 1t up. He then looked up at tbe men. with pleading ey:S that seemed to say. "I would like to have some more." He was given more and since then has always de- manded his share of the beer. At times the men would ignore the dogs whinss and then he would jump dn the air and bark until he received his drink. He also insisted upon getting @ drink out of each can, and as a result was ire quently drunk. He had a small can that one of th@ machin1sts made for him.feut of which he drank his beer. This can he was taught to hide and get when the baer time came.
 &ei soon tearr~c @ go to ts.e saloons for his beer. and when thirsty would disdainfully turn from wetsr if 1t were offered hirn, and go to saloon. Ha

 Yesterday afternoon, after making the rounds of several saloons and getting more ba5r than he could stand, he wend- ed his way to where he thought he would meet some of his old railroad friends who would take care of him un- til he scbered up. Crossing the tracks at the relay depot he did not notice swiftly approaching switch engine= He was In the center of the tracks bel, fore he became aware that there was such thing on earth as an engine. It was then too late. The wheels of the engine passed over "Towser's'" body, cutting him in two. Some of tho switch, men gathered up the dogs remains and buried them later in the evening.
