 An outline of the plan Is as follows

This central office will on all of the leading grocery products, do the buying for all the houses in the corporation. It is not proposed that the company will go Into the manufact- uring of grocery products. but rather that the business between the large man. ufacturers and the company will be through one general office

 W. J. Murphy, general manager of the Queen and Crescent system, which in- cludes the Alabama Great Southern, who has been in Europe for some time re- cuperating nis health. will return and resume his work November l. M. W. Mcguire, superintendent of the Chatta- nooga division, has been acting general manager during Mr. Murphy's absence.

Mrs. Rrune.

The success attained by Mrs Brune in 'Nnorna," the new F. Nation Craw- ford play which will be at the Jefferson October IS, seems to have been one of the sudden dramatic surprises that occa- sionally statrles that world which is in- terested in theatrical events. From a position of comparative obscurity she has risen in a meteoric manner to a high degree of prominence. When the fact is taken into consideration that she is not yet 4 years old. Though young in years, Mrs. Brune is blest in stage lore, having played her first part at the tender age of years, when she essayed the role of tim in Lights of London" Her thor ough stage training, as well as the tal- ent she displays, is responsible for her versatility and finished acting. She has received the same schooling that made famous artists in the past years of .arduous work and heart-breaking striving after the goal she has just reached.

 The younger Rudulph is the owner of a gin in Pleasant Hill. and while walk ing through the ginnery yesterday hap pened to notice that one of the machines was seemingly crogged up. Without thinking he raised up the box and put his hand in to straighten out the cotton. The saws of the gin caught his hand and arm and before he could extrlcate himself had literally mangled the member Into a shapeless mass.
 MT. Rudulph was carried to his house and the physicians summoned found 1t necessary to amputate the arm just be- low the elbow. although the injured man begged if there was a particle of chance to save his arm that he be given the benefit of it.

Mss Percy HasweII as Princess
 AnueIa.

King Edward objected seriously to the playing in England of Marshall's com edy "A Royal Family" which Miss Percy Haswell and her company present at the Jefferson theatre next Wednesday matinee and night. The brilliant shafts of wit in the play touch satirically upon some scenes that Edward, it seems, would rather have had unknown. The play, however, has become one of the reigning successes in England and played in this country for two consecutive years at the Lyceum theatre. New York.
