WELL KNOWN HOUSE BURNED
Residence Was Built in Jackson Coun-
 ty by Captain Jones.

Scottsboro. July 20-(Special.)- 1.-The large two-story house built by Capt. Jasper Jones back in the seventies was burned to the ground Tuesday afternoon about 3:3O o'clock while strong wind was blow ing The property was owned by Wiley Whitfield and was one of the best-built houses in the county. There was no in- surance on the property.
 At the time 1t was built Capt. Jasper Jones was register in chancery of Jack son County. He had been married but a short time, and it was to this pretty home that he expected to take his pretty wife when he met so tragic death. It will be remembered by the older citizens of the town how the community was shocked when the report was spread that Capt. Jasper Jones had been murdered in the very home he had built and looked forward to with pleasure to living in.
 A carpenter in his employ by the name of Franks fell out about a settlement and shot and killed him instantly. Franks made his escase into the mountains but was subsequently, captured near Wfnches- ter, Tenn He was tried, and after drag ging through the courts for a number of years he was acquitted. Thus closes by fire the last silent witness of the Jones tragedy.

 Hughes and Will Please
 All tle People.
DOUBLED IN FOUR YEARS

During the past four years the business creased at a marvellous rate. The last report issued, July 1, shows the business for the year ending then to have been twice the volume of business for the year ending June 30, 1897
 This increase is very pleasing to the people of the city as well as to Postmaster Hughes It proves the growth of the city has been continuous, and not of boom nature The annual report of the office has been issued from the auditors de- partment of the general office in Wash- ington.
 This report gives the receipts of the office from the sale of stamps, newspaper postage. and box rent. The total amounts to $122, .93, which covers the year end ing June 30, 1901. The receipts for the office during the year which ended June 30, 1897 were $63.071SZ
 An interesting part of the report shows that the receipts for six months, ending January 1, 1901. were $64,3S035 This amount is more than the entire receipts for the year, '96-'97 exceeding the latter sum by total of $1308. AS.
 "I am exceptionally well-pleased with the manner in which the business of the post office has increased since I have had charge of it." said Postmaster Hughes yesterday. We feel that the reports of this office are the most conclusive proof to be obtained that the growth of the city of Birmingham has been rapid but regu- lar. Then, the increase is pleasing to me personally and to my assistants.
 ''The indications are that the business for the coming year will show a still further increase, and I feel that this will continue for years to come"
