 The cotton factory has purchased a new lot of machinery, and we under stand that the plant is to be considerably enlarged.
 Mr. J. N. Boyer, a prominent merchant tailor, has located here permanently. He halls from the "Hoosier state," and is highly recommended by his former asso- ciates. 4r-.
 P. B. Brown, owner of the ice factory here, was down from Anniston Tuesday
 August Ullman is in New York pur- cha sing his spring goods.
 There was a serious cutting affray here last Saturday. David Lackey, of Iron ton, stabbed Bob Watson twice in the back, inf1icting very dangerous wounds. Watson is said to have been drinking and n to have applied a very opproblous epithet ito Lackey, who, in return for the insult, used his knife with almost fatal result. Watson, it is thought, may recover by careful treatment.
 s We have seen by reference to the pa spers that an old Talladega boy is an ap- Aiplcant for the position of marshal of the southern district of Alabama. We refer to MT. Turner w. Curry, now of Brewton, a,Ala. While disclaiming the slightest sympa thy for Mr. Curry's political affilia- tions, we would be pleased to see him get the appointment on the ground of friendship and personal esteem. Mr. Curry was an ardent supporter of Maj. Mckinley in the recent election, and as the place is to be filled by a republican, we would be glad to see him get it. He possesses the confidence, regard and es- teem of all who know him, and his Talla- dega friends would rejoice to see him ad- vanced.
