 The planters of Coosa, like those of other counties of the state are much im- proved financially and nearly out of debt.

Lands are purchasable at reasonable prices, and Coosa is an inviting field for industrious white immigrants.

BELIEVED THAT
 WERNER IS SAFE
RELATIVES IN TUSCALOOSA KNOW THAT HE IS AMONG FRIENDLY AFRICAN TRIBES BUT IS FAR IN INTERIOR.

Tuscaloosa, April 21.-(Speeial) )-An arr ticle sent out from St Louis yesterday by the Associated Press stating that 1t was possible that the Rev Phillips Ver- ner of this city had been killed in Africa by the savages, where he was sent by the anthropological department of the worlds fair to secure several pgmy fam flies. has caused much anxiety here, where MT. Werner has resided nearly all of his life. From his early boyhood MT. Werner has been much interested in col ored evangelization and after his educa- ton, which was received here, he was sent to the Congo Free State, where he worked among the natives for several years, and where it is said he won much favor among them.
 Some years ago MT. Werner returned to Tuscaloosa with two real African princes and entered them here at the Stillman institute, where they were to receive an evangelical education and then return to their native country as missionaries. MT. Werner for the past few years has been an instructor in the above named insti- ute and left only when the call came from St Louis. He has written mum Der of interesting books of African trav- els with much success, and has also de- livered many illustrated lectures, which were vastly interesting
 Mir Verner's relatives here know just about where he is located and believe that no harm has come to him. as he is well liked in that section, the probable reason that he has not been heard from being because he is in a section which Is very inaccessible. Mrs. Werner, who was formerly Miss Bradshaw of Livingston. is in Columbua. S. C., with her two little children, awaiting the return of MT. Yer nc

 The infusion of new blood in the com pany will make it one of the strongest as well as one of the most popular livery stables in the city. %fs
