There he was held in the very high est esteem by the company officials and his co-employes. Mir. Benson was twenty-seven years of age, a native of Forest Home, and son of Mir. and Mrs. J. P. Benson. He had been en- gagged in railroad business for the past seven years and came to Mobile less than Q year ago.
 Besides his parents Mir. Benson is survived by five brothers, c. R. Ben son of Camden, Ark, ex-Sheriff J. F. Benson, Jr., of Wilcox County, and Dr. J. c. Benson of camden, Prof. w. w. Benson of Geneva, and Prof. l.. K. Benson of Hayneville, and four sisters.

 The city will very likely fight the case to the very finish when 1t comes up in court. The cost to secure the service of an attorney to assist the City Attorney In prosecuting the case would probably amount to about $250. If the city won the case this fee would have to be paid by Martin or his bonds men, so that In that event the city would be no loser.
 It is stated on pretty good authority that there are some citizens behind Martin and are paying the costs In the hopes of being able to break up the city market ordinances so that green groceries can be established over the city. It Is also stated that Martin has s2,000 at his command with which to light the city and that he intends to spend every cent of 1t if necessary.

10 Change Name of street

petition is being circulated among the residents and property owners on Jones Street, to get the City Council at it's next meeting to change the name of that street., The petition Is being signed readily by the citisens who live on 1t and when 1t Is carried before the Council at its next meeting the. peti- ton will have the name of nearly ev- cry resident of that street on 1t.
 The petition asked the Council to change the name of the street from Jones Street to that of West Water Street. A few years ago that part Of Selma where Jones Street is now locat- ed was merely field but now 1t is built up with many modern homes and new ones are being added nearly ev- cry day. These homes have and are still being built and are loccupied by substantial citizens who will make Selma their permanent home and no doubt the petition that will be carried to the Council will receive the approval of that body and the name of the street will be changed to suit the residents who live on 1t.
