 Two years later, passed that way and saw the skeleton of one of the Indians still hanging to the tree.
 When Tom C, mmeneed firing. Mir. Sanders heard the report of his rife and took a sheet uif the bed, climbed up on a big rock in front of his house and wayed it. A juror rear the court house window saw It, and said, Boys, there's Indians The jury did not ask leave, but rushed out and got there.
 After an absence of about an hour, the jury returned, took their seats as though nothing had happened. Ssked the question, got advised by the court, and retired for further dslibeTation.
 The next day l noticed the judge carried his rife with hun and kept his revolver strapped on him, ready for work at a moments warning. The first settlers ot Northern Ari- zona were built that way. They faced the Indians and never ran from them. There never was a wo- man orchildtake prisoner or killed by the Indians.
 In looking around Prescott today, l saw several men that were in that little army, but the majority of them have passed away. Several were af- rewards killed by Indians. One of the soldiers in that army was ex- Judge Eddy Wells. He was a relA- tive of Judge Turner and was study ing law with him.
 Nearly two years later, near the Point of Rocks. east of Prescott, Mrs. Stevens told me of what hap peEed day or two before. She said: MT.

PROF. MERIT K. CLEMENTS.

The announcement that Col. Richard c. Jones, president of the State univer- sity at Tuscaloosa, will soon retire from that honora ble and responsible position, has caused to be mentioned the names of several gentlemen as hia successor. Among them is that distinguished schol- ar and educator, Col Merit K. Clements, at present the president of the North Alabama Agricultural school, located at Athens, school which has attained a patronage and a success scarcely antici- pated by it's most enthusias stic and san- guine friends when it was located.
 Within the entire realm of our personal knowledge we do not know man better suited in a Il respects for the head of our State university than MT. Clements He is an educator from choice; his inclina- tion in the period of early manhood lead him tc adopt teaching as the business of his life, and from the time that he grad Cated from the college at Auburn he has assiduously and successfully devoted himself tp that profession.
 Prof. Clements is a. native of Alabama, was educated at an Ala bama school has lived in Alabama all his life and has taught in Alabama during his entire manhood. He is closely identified by birth, by education, by profession and in ether respects with every interest of the state. Leaving college at Auburn about twenty years ago. he first taught a coun- try school for while. Then he was elecleu pfiHOpal or tne district school at Coflinsville. Then he established a high school at Attalla, which became in course of time the city school While successfully presiding over the destinies of this school he was elected to the chair of mathematics in Blount college, the growth and success of which during his connection with it became phenomenal more than 400 pupils matriculating the second session.
 While at Blount college Prof Clements was elected president of the Agricultural school at Athens, and entered upon his duties there four years ago.
 His career as teacher has been credit able, and his success in building up and managing schools guarantees that if placed at the head of the State univer-

BRIGHF AND SHINING LIGHT.


 We have always held that the Louis- vile and Nashville railroad is one of the bright and shining exceptions to the rule that Corporations have no souls" Ever since it started. it's magnanimity has been thorn in the sides of big railroad rivals. It won't go into conspiracios against public welfare and just when it's rivals think they have their schemes completed the old reliable Louisville and Nashville asserts herself and knocks their combine galleywest That her managers are broad gauged people in ev- cry respect Is again evidenced by a fact which has just come to light in Bir1nfng- ham. That city has tax law avowedly unconstitutional, but which is necessary to support her public schools. Some people recognize the law and pay the, tax. others do not. You can guess where the Louisville and Nashville stands. Though her tax Is very great for the cause, and she would only have to refuse, yet she says it Is best for the public to educate it's young and for that reason she dips down in her pocket and pays the tax like good girl. And shouldn't such a publc-spirfted institu- ton be encouraged by public patronage? :? Shouldn't you remember this road when you travel or ship freight? If you should then see that you do so. If the people do not stand by such friends how long have they the right to expect such friends to stand by them? Remember when you order goods, to add to your order, these simple words: Ship via Louisville and Nashville" You will get the best of service. you will deal with good people, and you will strengthen a. friend-Talladega News-Reporter
