A HOT BLAZE.

A stranger dropped into Alfalfa, Ala,
few months ago. gave his name as L..
C. Harding, millionaire, had surplus
cash to invest, organized three banks,
one eacL in Alfalfa, Fort Payne and
Collinsville. He induced Mr.. Lawson
A. Fields, formerly of Marietta, to give
up position on the Alfalfa Mirror,
and take stock and act as cashier and
Vice President of the bank at Alfalfa
Harding leased a flour mill at Fort
Payne, bought wheat on credit, and
the other day he skipped out taking
about $50, 900 worth of money, and de-
parted leaving three defunct banks and
one wife and numerous suckers -
Harding it is said played the same
swindling scheme in Greenville, Ohio,
before coming to Alfalfa and that his
real name is Blazer" and is an excon-
Wet.
Evidently he has the right name, he
made things hot in those Alabama
towns and the people haven't quit siz-
zing yet. Beware of slick tongue
strangers. They are not all angels.

A FINE PLANT.

There is no mistake that Marietta
will have the largest and best paper
mill in the south as soon as the machin-
cry now in the paper mill is installed
Mr.. NJ. N. Sessions, the president, will
soon add another brick addition TO the
mill by extending the rear building to
the street and will also build new
boiler room to which will be transferred
the engines and now in operation. The
paper machine now being put in will
more than double the capacity Of the
mill. They have one new paper ma
chine now in operation turning out
more paper than the old mill ma
chinery and the paper mill at Sope's
creek combined could turn out in a
week. As soon as the new machinery
is placed it means more work for more
hands and thus helps the town.

BOY BURGLARS.

Two little white boys, McGinnis and
Tidwell, on Thursday night about ten
O'Clock, broke glass out of a window
in Ward Bros. store, entered the store
and filled their pockets with pocket
knives, smoking tobacco, chewing gum
and matches. Mr.. McGinnis, who lives
below town, came to town that night
hunting his boy and found them in the
store and sent for Mr.. Charlie Ward &.
The boys were hid in the store. Mr..
McGinnis gave his boy severe beat
ing. One of the boys had loaded pis-
toll hid under box which was found
1t was later ascertained that these
two boys had broken a window glass in
the Marietta Trust & Banking Co.'S.
building, on the same night and then
entered the building and ransacked
through all the desk drawers and pa
pers and stole pistol, which was re-
covered next day by Marshal Hawkins.
On Sunday week these boys entered
Watkins shop and stole silver watch
which Deputy Sheriff Dewberry re-
covered.
These two white boys in company
with little negro boy named Guy"
confessed that they had entered Mr..
7. w. Glover's residence several time 8
and stolen therefrom various articles, a
pistol being taken, which they have re-
turned through the marshals.
They are "sooners" in the burglary
business and if not checked Will land
behind the bars.
These two boys seem to be incorrigible
and have given their parents a great
deal of trouble. They are constantly
engaged in thefts, and being too small
to be amenable to the law, it seems
impossible to reform them.
Since the above was put in type, we
learn that the parents of Tidwell placed
address on him to keep him at home, and
McGinnis chained his boy at home.
The boy got the chains off came to
town Friday and entered the warehouse

The Flight of the Fool.

Another festaI day had come and gone.
The crimson shafts of the dying sun had
succumbed to the frightening shadows Of
dusk, and the pigeons We're vending their
way homeward to the castle parapets and
battlements, when toward the arched en-
trance on the front strobe the dukes fool
Beyond the castle walls and the Enclosure
of the pleasure grounds the peace of twi-
light rested on the land; the great fields
lay becalmed; the distant forests were
bivouacs of rest
The afternoon had been labor of pleas
ure; about the great basin of the fountain
had passed an ever-varying shifting of NOV
ing figures: between the trees bright colors
appeared and vanished. and from the heart
of concealed bowers had come peals Of
laughter or strains of music. Unnoticed
among the merry throng In palace and
park. the Jester had moved airnlessly about;
unobserved now. he turned his back upon
the gray walls. satiated, perhaps. with the
fetes inaugurated by the kingly entertainer.
But as he attempted to pass the gate. a
stalwart guard stepped forward. presenting

German is the logical democratic candidate
