WHOSE TURKEYS THIS?
THRILLING MIDNIGHT CAPTURE OF
 TWO PATROLMEN.
vagrant Bird Taken to Headquarters by Russell and Pendergrass- Now ROOsts in City
 Pound.

The Montgomery police have got a nice big turkey gobbler in the city pound.
 How did the turkey get there?
 The police put the turkey there.
 The police found the turkey. That is to say the police arrested the gob- bier on Lee Street about 1 o'clock yes- terday morning.
 The gobbler now sits high on a raf- ter in the city stable and makes goo- goo eyes at the negro stable boy and counts the days before Christmas. The days are marked out on a calendar which hangs on the wall of the pound.
 The calendar is the object of much interest to the turkey.
 The facts of the case are these:
 Patrolmep Russell and Pendergrass were walking their beat on Tallapoos4 Street shortly after midnight Sunday when they heard suspicious noise in nearby alley. Clenching the nick ory clubs tightly in their grasp, they crept cautiously but bravely and boldly into the gloom of the alley. The bright gleams from their pocket cleo tric search lanterns flooded the alley with light and their eyes trayeled quickly about the crooks and corners of the place.
 No thief was there.
 Someone might have heard them and run away down the alley! This thought flashed through their minds So down the alley they rushed. When they reached the opening of Booths Alley on Lee Street Russell ran into something. Pendergrass ran into Russell. Horny hands rushed to scGbbards and the nickel of revolvers flashed in the glim mering light of distant street arc.
 Into the mouth of the alley strutted big, brown turkey gobbler!
 turkey! Night walking" whls pered Russell excitedly. It's against the law!"
 Wait minute till see," said Pen dergrass, and he hurriedly turned the pages of a little memorandum book that he took from his pocket.
 You're right" he called, as the tur- key Tapped its wings
 See he cried. that's foul play too.'
 The vagrant turkey tried to escane but they caught him. Pendergrass and Russell.
 The history of the turkey was not Known and as turkey language is not understood at headquarters no casa was docketed.
 If any one has lost a turkey and can identify 1t he may get it at the pound and bring disappointment to Russell and Pendergrass.

The Warrior River even in the dry season has something like S0,- 000,000 gallons of water to flow by a given point in twenty-four hours time.

The indications are that the actual work of forming the company will be started on in the next few days.

variety of resources.
virg.nia's fish and oyster business. in

would manage it SO as to control prices.
Instead OF allowing dealers In other places
to set prices for their product this would

greater demand, Then, where else Is
there such fertile grain land as the Shen-

climate and pure water?

choicest apples, and should grow moro of
