.REDDING,
A FRIGHTFUL FATALITY.

A terrible accident that has cast a
gloom over our entire community
occurred on Sunday night. While Miss
Alice GOrham, daughter of EX-Repre
senta Give A. A. Gorham, was riding
down the great hill leading from the
Ridge to the Center, accompanied by
Mr. Sanders of Danbury, the horse
stumbled and fell. Miss Gorham was
thrown out and instantly killed. Her
neck was broken and the horse
| trampled on her and inflicted CHASTITY
wound on her head which alone would
| have caused death. Her parents were
frantic with grief and for time were
unconscious, requiring the doctors
care. Miss Gorham was very popular
in society and her death has made a
deep impression on her associates.
This hill has been the scene of many
accidents but none with fatal results
till this. Isn't it about time this
frightful grade was changed?

 The car load of cattle was brought to Montgomery by Campbell Russell of the Indian Territory About thirty of the bulls have already been sold to planters in the country around Montgomery, several dealers in beef cattle buying with a view to improving their stock.
 MT. Russell is a former Alabamian, having gone from North Alabama to the Indian Territory twentyone years ago. He says that he has made such a sue cess with Herefords and Shorthorns in the Indian Territory that he has no doubt the success will be repeated by planters and breeders in Alabama.
