the past three and a half years First
Assistant in the Opelika Public School.
Both gentlemen are graduates OF the
University of Nashville, and have thor

have been in Prattville they have won
many staunch friends, and their patrons
seem highly pleased with their work in

boasts of cigar factory located al
