Ozark, April 4.-(special.)-A petition was
circulated by the business men today ask

freights in order that the merchants might
compete with other points in Southeast
Alabama, and pledging their patronage
should it be granted.
There IS probably a motive other than
the one avowed. Last fall the Plant sys-
tenn constructed temporary depot half a
mile from the business center, and since
that time all passenger and mail traffic has
been carried on there instead of at the
depot up town. This has been a great in
convenience, and the people are disposed to
resent the injury.
A house in the west part of town be-
longing to Jim Opert and occupied by Jack
Wilson, colored was burned at 2 O'Clock
this morning. The origin of the fire is sup
posed to be incendiary. The loss is covered
by insurance. 49,
