 Reward.

Reward.
 Mrs. N. P. Catlett, an estimable wo- man of Montgomery. died at her home, 2s1 Sayre Street. at o'clock yesterday afternoon after a protracted illness.
 The end, when 1t came. was not un- expected, and she was surrounded by those she loved The death was one of unusual sadness. Mrs. Catlett had been married only five years and the bereaved husband is left with a bright little boy, years old. to rear without a mothers love and attention.
 Mrs. Catlett was 25 years old and was born and reared at her home in Columbia, Tenn. She received her earlier education in the schools of that city and later attended Columbia In- stitute, a well known seminary of that place.
 Although Mrs. Catlett had resided in Montgomery only about three years she had drawn about her a host of de- voted friends.
 She was a faithful and conscientious member of St. Johns Episcopal Church and took an active interest in the work of the church.
 In her home. where the sunshine of her presence caused most happiness, her death will create void that can not be filled in this world.
 The body will be shipped at S:25 o'clock this morning to her old home in Columbia, Tenn, for interment.

Z big as the other Is little, and vice versa. Yesterday big Elisha and Little Will lie fought. and on little Willie big Elisha used a brick, the size of a mans fist, and when he had knocked little Willie in the head with the brick he used his brogan shoes to punch little Willie in the side as the latter lay struggling on the ground calling for mercy.
 Little Willie had been trespassing on the railroad company's tracks, and big Elisha had been clothed with the authority to eject all trespassers. When big Elisha started to take little willie's knife from him "the knife slipped" and cut big Elisha, and big Elisha took the law and little Willie in his hands.
 Big Elisha was fined S10. A warrant was sworn out against little Willie for disorderly conduct. Poor, perse- cuted Elishai villainous, tyrannical, belligerent little Willie!

Henry Banks Is one negro youth m Selma who has defied the law ana shs noIice He burgles and steals and asks inc police no odds. If they catch him at if he pleads guilty and goes 10 Work on the streets without the red tape oI a court proceeding. When he works out his sentence he burgles and steals
 Ranks served a forty day sentence for burglary and grand larceny and Wednesday he left the tolls a free ne- gro That night Banks took up ms olo tricks. He entered hardware store and carried away pistols. knlVes ana almost everything the hardware storo carried in the shape of weapon. Somehow Banks has a mania for steal ing pistols. His other offense for which he served forty days was for burglins a gun shop, from which he took pistols and knives. ,.
 But the police were on to Banks by this time and before he could catch inc train for Montgomery, they had him in his customary stall at the city iail charged with the crime. Chief of Police Walters suspected Banks, and when he arrested the miscreant the latter confessed without much ado.
 This morning in Police Court one or two lawyers besides City Attorney Shafer were there to prosecute Banks. and 1t was too much for him. He ent- cred the plea or Bullty to the charBes of burglary and grand larceny and the court and the attorneys were left to fix the punishment. For burglary Banks was fined $1O0 or ninety days. For grand larceny he was bound over to the grand jury under a bond of $500 which Banks will not be likely to make.
 By the time Banks pays for this of- fense 1t Is also not likely that he will burgle any more in Selma.
