Experience With Chicken Thief.

Russellville, December 3.-(Special)- Dr. J. S. Jones, a prominent citizen of this place had quite an interesting time with a would-be chicken thief Friday night.
 Dr. Jones had started to town when he heard a noise on .4ls back porch. He slipped around the house and saw a man attempting to get some chickens out of box, where pr. Jones had placed them preparatory to shipping them to his wife in Florence. The thief did not see Dr. Jones until he flashed his lantern on him, when he started to run With the lantern full on his back Dr. Jones took a good straight shot at the theft and says that he knows he hit him.
 So far nothing has been heard of a wounded man..

So far as known Dr. Sevier was the last living grandson of John Sevier, Tennessee's first governor, man who did much to make the histo- " of his state. Sixty-six years ago pr. D. V. Levier, then boy ten years of age, came to this place and made it his home up to the day of his death. Dr. Sevier's father, Dr. Sam Sevier came with him and at the same time. came also the widow of Governor Sevier. All of them are now dead and their remains rest in the old Russellville cemetery. Some years ago movement was enaugurated to re- move the remains of Governor Sevier's S wife to Tennessee and place them by the side of her husband, but Dr. D. V. Sevier objected, saying that his grand mother should sleep in the land of her adoption, by the side of her son, with whom she came to Alabama, at time when Franklin county was the home of the Indian and the wild beasts.
 Dr. D. V. Sevier was a prominent Ala bamian, a staunch union man, he es- poused the Republican faith in which he lived and died. He was practicing phy- sician and accumulated quite a compe- tency from his profession.
