 In case of Man3ell Adams vs. The North Alabama and Southern Railroad companies the jury returned 8 verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the sum ot $25, 900. It is learned that the jury had no difficulty in deciding on . verdict for the plaintiff, but had some trouble in arriving at the amount of the ver- dict. some of the members being in fa- vor of $15,000. while others went as high as $35, GOO, but 1t seems that the members of the body finally compro- missed on s25.0oo. This suit grew out of the killing of Sandy Barrett last July. Barrett was a flagman on the Northern Alabama passenger train and when near Gamble Mines. 1t was dis. covered that there was a hot box" " The conductor instructed Barrett to watch it. saying that he could go to Jasper without stopping. Barrett stood on the lower step of the passenger coach and while leaning over to watch the box, was knocked off by cattle guard and received injuries from which he died.

MAD DOG ABOUND.
Considerable Excitement Has Been
 Caused by Them.

VAuSSU Uy AuSA&s
 Troy, May n.-(special. )--Consider- able excitement prevails in the country about three miles west of this city, caused by mad dogs. On Thursday a mad dog attacked two small boys Of Mir. Joseph Lattuille in field where they were at work. Just before the dog reached their persons. he was met and engaged by a small dog belonging to Mir. Lattuille that was with the boys at the time. While fighting with the small dog the mad dog fell over with convulsions. and when recovered sufficiently, ran off in another direc- tion. When he came into MT. Lat tuilles field he was bloody from being shot or engaged with other dogs, or perhaps both. The most pathetic in cident to be connected with this at- tack upon the little boys Is the fact that the little dog that doubtless saved the boys from a horrible death will have to be killed to avoid further peril from him into MT. Lattfuilles family. On yesterday quite a number of the male population of that neighborhood made a search for the mad dog seen on the day before. and while doing so came upon another in the fence-Jam Of pasture where there was considerable stock When thet first found him he 
 several times before being killed. It is feared that much damage has been done to stock in this community by mad dogs.

The two authors are not friends.

10 Pleasure Is Greater for a Large class
of People.
There is no pleasure more pure and
exquisite than watching the growth
OF a tree or plant in which one is in
terested, If you have planted it your.
self so much the better. You then
have a feeling of proprietorship in
each opening bud or leaf which can
be gained in no other way, But, at
ny rate, cultivate the friendship of
he plants and trees, not simply for
the flowers and fruit which they fur
ash, but for the pleasure of seeing
them grow. 1t has been said that any
square foot of sod, if intelligently
studied, will give occupation for
many hours. The growth of the
simplest plant is a wonderful process.
Perhaps you cannot go to Europe OF
the mountains or the sea, but you
have an opportunity for unlimited
recreation and diversion if you have
a small plot of grass and plants with
which you have not becomsaOqasiut.
