DRIVER WAS HELD lP
TWO HIGHwAYMEN ATTEMPT TO
 ROB NEGRO.
Morris Smith, Who Drives DehverS Wagon for Sam Trun, Had Ex- citing Experience on Mhi
 Street Last Nfght'

According to his own statement, MOT ris Smith. a negro who drives the de- livery wagon of Sam Trun. Dexter Avenue merchant, was heSf up py two men at the point of pist3l about 7:30 o'clock fast night on Mill Street be- tween Holt Street and the Mobile Road.
 The night was black and smith was concluding the delivery of lew minor articles of merchandise, when he drove into Mill Street and when just about half way between the Mobile Road and Holt Street some one seized the horses brid]e and the animal came to an im- mediate stop. A man then stepped up to the wagon seat and drew revolver on smith. The driver had a loaded whip in his hand and in an instant he struck the htghwayman a terriffic blow on the forehead. The whip was broken in two and the unknown man jumped from the wagon. The bride was simultaneously released and Smith drove speedily away. He had gone but few paces when two shots rang out evidently in- tended for him. They went wild and Smith drove the wagon immediately to town where he told MT. Trum of the hold-up.
 Smith went to police headquarters aboute9 o'clock and there he reported the circumstances of the hold-up. He said he could not, in the darkness, dis tinguish the color of the men, but he was certain that the man with the pistol could be identified by the wound from the blow received from the load ed whip. The highwaymen. he said, se- cured nothing from him.
 Smith has been employed by Mir. Trunr for fifteen years. The police are at work on the case.

NO STREET FAIRS WANTED.
Such Attractions are Considered Unde

ssrable by PcopIe of Dothan.
 Dothan, Dec. 15.-(Specfal .)-For the fourth time recently, Mayor Young has refused permission for street fair company to use the streets or this city. These attractions are exceedingly un- popular here, and the Mayors action meets with general approval. The cases of Bud and Paul Strick- land, the two brothers charged with the murder of their uncle, Matt Strick- land, near Bis Creek. were called in Judge Leslie's court, and continued on motion of the defense. The cases Will be called again next Thursday.
 For the past few days Dothan has had some of the worst weather in her history The bitter cold has been aided and abetted in Its work of discomfiture by a slow drizzling rain which has fallen during much of the time. and today the main streets of the city pre- vent a dejected appearance. It is an i'll wind that blows nobody good, and the doctors and druggists find their businesses suddenly increased. No cases of pneumonia are reported thus far. but many citizens are confined to their homes with colds almost ap- preaching pneumonia in severity. The sight of Old Sols cheery face would be a welcome sight to Dothapites.
 A contract has been let for the erec- ton or an OptTd hN AN%SN' SAA - now seems certain that Dothan will soon have such a resort The town has needed one for years, and the lack of such a place has caused 1t to miss many first class attractions. With popu- lation of 1000 1t seems not unlikely that an opera house here will prove pay ing investment to the promoters of the enterprise.
 There is general rejoicing over the fact that the recent Alabama Metho- dist Conference saw fit to return Rev. J. B. Cumming to this charge. MT. Cumming has endeared himself to the entire population of DoDthan during his residence here, and his congregation was not more anxious for his return than were his many friends among the other denominations represented here.
