Tuscumbia Is just now making prepara- tions to entertain the North Alabama Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church south, which meets here on the 18th. Private homes will be opened to the delegates and visitors. and Tuscum- bias proverbial hospitality will be show cred upon the Cody men and women who are here to congregate The fatted calf, reared upon the grasses that grow so graciously here, awaits the coming of the guests. And mention of the coming of these good preachers reminds one of the fact that this Tennessee valley produces or raises more chickens, turkeys. ducks. etc, than any section of the south. To- day the wagons are coming in laden with this poultry. and the gobblers are sounding the coming of the preachers and of Thanksgiving Day. Surely, this is the land of plenty and the people who dwell on these hills and in this valley are doubly blessed.

 good behavior" When he had served about eight months a letter came to the department saying that the child of the couple was dying in Mobile and begging the governor that the husband be grant ed temporary parole to be at the bed side when death came. The governors S heart was moved. and the parole was at once given for thirty days.

 Police Commission Act Invalid.

Judge A. D. Sayre, in the Montgomery city court, has rendered a decree declar- ing unconstitutional the police commits sion act passed by the recent legislature. The reasons assigned are practically the same as those in the Bessemer case which was declared as unconstitutional by the supreme court. This leaves the mayor of the city free to name a police chief and captain, with the approval of the council. Chief A. Gerald and Cap tain W. H. Taylor will retain their jobs It Is thought that the council will grant the request of the chief for thirty aoul- tional men, including a day captain This is made necessary by the extension of the city limits.

A Unique Letter.

--, November 19 19O3 Hon, William D. Jelks. Governor,
 Montgomery, Ala
 Dear Sir: About a week since in clean ing the city of A--- of vagrants one S---- was drawn in the net, and sentenced for three months, as well as fined $50
 Now S----- vehementy swears. as he did then, that he is a hard working man, and the best landscape gardner this side the salted seas; and, what Is more to the purpose S---- induces L.
 - and a lot more of the horney- handed citizens of T- county to corroborate him.
 "rhe bulging fact in S---'s case as it appeared to the mayor of C--- sitting as ex officio justice of the peace. was that the aforesaid S- had indulged in three ripping trunks on the streets of C---- since November 2 which cratic conduct on S--'s friends admit his fondness for the flow ing bowl but deny any coyness about manual labor
 Prom all the evidence now before me I am of the opinion that if S---- has had the liquor sweated out of him he would be likely to return to C-- and go to work: and think - county needs the toll of her citizens more than does the state Therefore I ask that a pardon issue to S---, and let him return to the heaven kissing hills of - and pulverize the alluvial soil with the homely grubbing hoe.

This treatment became worse, until finally the husband beat her into insensibillty. pulling nearly all of the golden hair from her head and clip ping off the few strands that were left
 This threw the case into the courts, and the horrible testimony given in the trial caused Judge Richardson to become se- were in his lecture passing sentence. Twenty years was the sentence given.
