LOCALS,

Mr.. and Mrs. o. E. Rounsaville at
tended services in town Sunday at the
Presbyterian church.
Mr.. E. W. Christian, of the firm of
Faulk-Craft Lumber Co., returned
Sunday from Moss Point, where he
spent last week on business.
The Postoffice has been removed
from the building on the Courthouse
yard to the Hardy Mills building on

his official business in town each Sat.
urday.
Justice Hardy Mills was busy one
day last week examining and taking
the testimony of several witnesses in
the case of the State of Alabama VS..
Tom Browning. 1t seems Browning
and Hunter, Benn & Co. of Mobile,
had some misunderstanding about
moneys advanced, and have resorted
to the courts to settle their differ
ences.
We wish to direct the attention of
our readers to the big advertisement
OF JEFF. Brown, which can be found
elsewhere in these columns. Mr..
Brown has demonstrated his conf
dence in the future growth and pros
rerity of our town by coming in our
midst and investing capital, opening
up neat little general merchandise
business. He only asks that he be
recompensed for this outlay by you
giving him legitimate share of your
patronage. He is here among you,
and competing for your valuable pat
ronage. Give him call.
The speech made by Hon. Frank A..
McLain, congressman for this district
on the monetery question, in opposi-
ton to the financial before the house,
was one of soundest logic, backed up
by statistics Mr.. McLain made a
noble fight, but alas, his efforts are in
vain.

An excellent programme has been
formulated for the celebration of Mardi
Gras at Mobile this year. The parade
of "Felix," Emperor of Joy, will be
grander than it has ever been, and in
addition to this there will be five
other mystic pageants, viz:
Krewe of Cyreniacs,
Knights Of Revelry,
Comic Cow Boys.
Mardi Gras Pilgrims,
Order of Myths.
In addition to these there will be
civic parades, and probably other mys-
tic parades. There will also be a
grand public ball at the "Prinoess
Theatre tuesday evening.

made in Mobile during the past year
and the visitor will see much to in
terest him in the way of public i'm
provements.. new buildings, the docks
and shipping.
