MT. James Greqory.

Marion Standard: In the death of Mir. James Gregory. Marion loses one of her oldest and best citizens. His life has left an imprint on the character of the com munity worthy of emulation. He was porn in Danbury, Conn.,. April 16. 1S3O His frail health could not stand the rig orous winters of New England, so he came south when only seventeen years of age. The milder climate, combined with his correct manner of living, enabled him to reach the age of seventy-four. He was thoroughly identified with the land of his adoption, and loyal to all it's interests His life was an inspiration to all who knew him. He took the keenest interest in all that was going on. oth locally and from the world point of view. He loved life and enjoyed it to the utmost He be- lieved that God intended us to be happy. He never lost his sympathy with young people and kept his own heart young by keeping in touch with them. No man had more friends. He had no enemies. White and black, young and OH, loved him. He was a noble specimen of Christian manhood. Without pretention and almost without blemish, his life was fragrant with genuine piety. He was senior war den in his church. which he loved with quiet devotion He was an honored mem- Der of the board Of trustees of the Marion Seminary, and served it's interests as sec retary. His wide charity embraced all classes and conditions of men. In his home life, his character came out in its true light. As a husband and a father, he was beyond comparison. He loved and was loved in a way that falls to the lot of few men. He leaves a widow, one son, w. c. Gregory of Marion, Mrs. Jesse Johnston of Birmingham, Mrs. w. H. Smith and Mrs. c. A.

BOOM LAUNCHED
 FOR CUNNINGHAM
Enters the Race for Governor
 at Pratt City
MASONS ARE RESPONSIBLE
During Banquet of Florida Lodge No. 150 Question is Put to the Leuten- ant Governor, Who Gives
 Tacit Assent.

Pratt City, October 31.-(Special.) )-Flor- ida Lodge, No. 150 Free Masons. held one of the most enthusiastic meetings last night in the history of the lodge. The occasion was a visit of Hon. A. M. Scott, state lecturer, and some work in the first and second degrees. Fully fifty members of the local lodge and twenty five visitors from other lodges in the dis trict were present. After the meeting the entire body marched down in twos to Trehern's cafe, where the jolly Masons made merry around the board until the small hours of morning.
 Manager Trehern had prepared an ele- gant repast for the Masons. and after fully satisfying the inner man, speech making was begun. Dr. R. M. Cunning ham, who was citizen of this place for many years, acted as toast master. Those responding to the toasts were James A. Downey, H. P. Hehin of Birmingham, s. W. LaRosse of Woodlawn, II. c. Miller of East Lake, w. D. Gum of Brookside. The speeches sparkled with wit and elo- quence, and the theme was Pratt City. It's Past, Present and Future" The incident, when a committee met several years ago composed of Dr. Cunningham and Dr. Brown for the purpose of nam ing Pratt City and the name adopted being suggested by pr. George Brown, one of Pratt citys pioneer citizens, was recalled
 In view of the fact that pr. Cunning ham will sail for Europe next week where he will be absent from Alabama during the next six months, his candid acy for governor, three years hence, was launched by his enthusiastic supporters present. It came about when the lieu tenant governor was bidding his friends goodbye. As this was the last time that he would appear before an Alabama audience before he sailed, in wishing him bon voyage, they put the question to him as to what they should answer his friends when asked about his running for the governorship Dr. Cunningham replied: Tell them 1 am not running from it." This was enough for the crowd. They at once broke into prolonged applause bama's next governor.
 Mrs. w. H. Roberts, a most estimable woman of this place, died at her home this afternoon after a short illness with typhoid fever. The funeral services will take place from her late residence to- morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. The Rev. J. A. Hendricks. pastor of the First Baptist church, will conduct the services. The remains will be inferred at Green wood cemetery.

Marshal Crow of courtIand Shot in a
 ScuffIe With Prisoner.

Courtland, October 31.-(Special)-T. M. Crow, marshal of this place. was so se- riously wounded last night that it was found necessary to amputate his right leg this morning.
 The joint agent of the express company and the Southern railway, at this point, had been missing small amounts of silver from the safe. in his office for some time, and last night he requested Marshal Crow to place a watch on the office. The mar shal hid himself in the ladies waiting room of the depot and secreted Will Toms, a nephew of the agent. in the ex- press room. The watchers had only been concealed short time when they saw Wade Carter. a negro who loafs about the depot, enter the office, and taking a key from his pocket, open the safe. He took out a box containing s15 or s2O in silver and carried it into the wareroom. The marshal followed and placed the negro under arrest.
 They started to the city prison. Crow

 That Peruna Is exactly 7ueh a remedy the accompanying testimonials prove. Peruna prevents cold by strengthening the mucuous membranes; it cures colds by healing the catarrhal nucuous mem branes.

I be- came nervous and irritable and nothing looked just right to me. A good neigh bor advised me to try Peruna and I im- mediately sent for a bottle. I am very glad. indeed, that I did. I began to feel relief in a week and soon felt better than had in two years. I do not dread a cold any more as l used to. for q small quan- tity of Peruna cures me" "-Margaret Hueston

 T can honestly give Peruna tho highest endorsement, for I have used 1t and found it has special merit. During the early part of the winter. I caught cold. being exposed to a draught at the opera. and the next evening I attended danc- ing party and caught more cold, and soon found that influenza had me in It's iron grip. l was then dozed with liquids, powders and pills but found no relief until a friend who called brought me a bottle of Peruna and insisted that I dis continue the use of everything else and give this an honest trial. I did so, and feel very glad, indeed, that l did. With in ten days I was convalescing and in two weeks I felt myself once more Pe- runa has an honored place in our medi- cine cabinet at home, and we all take 1t upon catching the slightest cold "-Flor- ence Wayland.

The New York Commercial says: The Atlantic port lines, after repeated threats, have met the cut rates of the Mallory line, with its ally the Mobile and Ohio. to the Missouri river. The initiative was taken by the Savannah line. The others had no alternative. and are now all in the procession, with tariff reduced from $l 42 to the Mallory's rate of $1 .37
 The Southern has had it in it's power to keep the Mobile and Ohio in line It is. in this instance. placed in a position of meeting its own competition through the Old Dominion line. It is believed that the war of rates may early be brought to an end.

progress. This work will greatly im- prove the service over this portion of the Southern system.
 The New York Commercial says
 Representatives of the Southern and Frisco roads said today that the dis patches from New Orleans to the effect that President Spencer had purchased the Chalmette terminals. and thus defeated President Yoakums plan for getting the Frisco into the city, showed an entire mis- understanding of the situation. The con tract for the joint use of the New Or leans terminals, it was pointed out. had already been entered into. The land pur- chased by the Frisco for terminal pur- poses practically adjoins that of the Southern, which is to use the Chalmette property
 No official light has yet been shed upon the way in which the Frisco will supply the missing link between it's southermost extension and New Orleans. In the annual report just issued, President Yoakum says that the St. Louis. Memphis and Southeastern, which has been turned over to the Frisco by the construction com pany, will form part of the through line connecting Chicago St. Louis. Memphis and New Orleans. This road, when com pleted. will extend from aS point near St. Louis to Luxora, Ark, a distance of 249 miles, and. with branches, will have a total mileage of 416 miles.

The Wall Street Journal says:
 The report from Baltimore to the ef- feet that arrangements are being made for merger of Atlantic Coast Line, Louisville and Nashville, Nashville. Chattanooga &. St. Louis and one or two less important lines is denied by an in- huential director of Louisville and Nash vile, who points out that at present there is no reason why such project should be undertaken.
 This director says that since the Louis- vile and Nashville stock acquired by Att lantic Coast Line has been made the collateral for bonds of the latter com- pany this stock must remain where it is. Atlantic Coast Line through it's con tral of Louisville and Nashville and the latter's control of Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis dominates the policy of these roads and the wisdom of any attempt to bring about a closer union at this time might be open to question.
 Possibly circumstances may change so that in time 1t may be deemed advisable to bring about an actual merger, but nothing of the kind is contemplated at present or is likely to be undertaken for some time to come.
