MARION.
Entire Town Saddened Over the Death
 of Captain Howze.

Marion, April 2S-(SpeciaD- was saddened Saturday morning by the an- nouncement of the sudden death of Capt. John Howze. Captain Howze was one of Marions oldest citizens and for more than half century had been one Of the best known and most successful business men of this section of the State. He came to Marion from Mobile during the year 1S45 and entered the m ercantile busi- ness. At the time of his death he was perhaps the most extensive landowner in the black belt. By his deeds of kind ness and by his wise counsel he won the respect and admiration of all who came in contact with him. Captain Howze mar ried a Miss Clayton, a member of one Of Georgia's oldest and most aristocratic families, who survives him. Funeral ser- vices were held at the family home at o'clock Sunday and were conducted by the Rev. J. E. McCann, of the Method ist church, assisted by the Res'. P. " Bomar, pastor of the Baptist church, and the Rev. D. D. Patton of the Birmingham church. Almost every vehicle in town was in the procession that followed the remains to the grave. A very touching scene was witnessed at the grave. large number of the old negroes, who were or had been servants or tenants of the deceased had requested that they be allowed to cover the body of the man who had been their friend and adviser, and as they finished they sang two stanzas of Nearer My God to Thee" As the song, sung only as the old-time darkies can sing, foated out on the air of the still Sunday afternoon, hundreds of eyes were filled with tears. Captain Howze was the father of Judge A. c. Howze and Mrs James Bryan of Birming- ham; H. Y. Howze, John Howze, Jr., T. | M. Howze and Mrs. B. M. Lide of Ma | rion, and Mrs Seawell Jones of Selma.

thusiasts of this section on the subject of the future of Anniston.
 Another enthusiast is H. W. Sexton, president of the Street Railway Line which piles about the streets of Anniston and through Oxanna, into the old town of Oxford, and thence out to one of the prettiest lakes and parks in all Alabama. MT. Sexton has combined the Street Rail- way line, the electric light plant and the gas plant, and like the Birmingham concern, the consolidated company Is making money.
 Anniston is the home of Colonel John B. Knox, who was the president Of the Constitutional Convention, and one of the great attorneys and best men of Alabama. He is also a director in one of the best banks here and Is interested in almost everything in Admission, including the golf links Indeed John Knox has become a golf fiend. You might recognize him in the sketch accompanying this which was made as he progressed rapidly towards the golf links prepared for battle.
 Then here Is William H. McKleroy, who is president of the Anniston City Nation al Bank-one of the young bachelors of Anniston, who is doing much to build it up and make it the great city 1t Is destin- ed to be.
 But one can't close anything about An niston without mentioning Joe Willett. who was the father of the Van Wyck boom for President several years ago, and who has made much reputation for himself in the northern field by his ora tory at the Fourth of July celebration of Tammany Hall, and the Southern So- ciety's banquet and celebration of Washingtons birthday. At home Willett has a knack of dropping the airs he wears upon foreign visits. He sits in the old fashioned cane-bottom chair leans far back and cocks his hat on the back of ..-s head.
