week an armed body of union men drove from the public cemetery at Blocton some men who were digging grave for the body of a non-union miner. The union men with pistols, knives and shotguns drove the men who wore digging the grave from the grave after having made them fill up 8 partially dug grave at the mezzle of shotguns. A warrant was sworn out for eight of these union miners charging them with the common law offense of preventing the burial of a dead body, and 1t was under these warrants that the arrests were made which led up to the attempted asassi- nation of Deputy Sheriffs Goldston and Cole last night.
 The telephone message to the sherih stated that there was considerable ex- citement at Blocton, and further blood- shed is expected. Deputy Sheriffs Goldston and Cole are both brave Ofi- cers, and it Is a source of regret to the law-abiding citizens of Bibb Coun- ty that they should be fired upon from ambush while discharging the duties imposed upon them by the law.

GROWING UP FOR GOD. Ephesians iv, 1I-16. May 21, 1905.

(Union Meeting with the Juniors.)
 There is a trinity in man. Three natures are held in mystical union-body. mind. spirit. Each part of this three-fold nature is capable of wonderful and admirable pro- gression. Thus the physical nature ad- vanees from infantile littleness and help lessness to manly stature and strength Who shall set limit to this progression. But If this is not accomplished by correspond ing mental development instead of being attractive, it is the reverse. giant in physique, with mind of a child, is something grotesque. So to eye of God and angel i'm tellectual strength without spiritual grace may be believed to be offensive. Scripture abounds in analogies. examples and promises of spiritual growth and exhortatons to 1t. This is the ideal of perfect manliness. unto the measure of the stature the fullness of Christ Spiritual progression may be made a matter of test and observation. Capacity for 1t carries obligation to seek 1t. Reso- lute. continuous, intelligent effort must be made. "No one ever became a saint in his sleep" This evolution of the spiritual nature is the defense of religion. These are the children of Wisdom. who justify their mother.

 Brewton, May 1s.--(Special. )-The commencement exercises of Brewton Collegiate Institute took place in the new court house last night, and were witnessed by one of the largest audi ences that ever assembled there. The seating capacity of the auditorium is about 500, and long before the time for the exercises to begin every available seat was occupied and standing room was at a premium. The exercises con- sisted of essays and orations by the graduating class interspersed with music, the presentation of diplomas and the address to the class by Rev. J. A. Rice of Montgomery.

Rob- ertson, with Miss Lily Bell Rankin as salutatorian and Miss Juliet Luttrell as valedIctorian. In few well chosen and appropriate remarks E. M. Lovelace presented the diplomas to the class.
 The address of Rev. MT. Rice was a masterly effort, and notwithstanding g the lateness of the hour he held the un- divided attention of his hearers for forty-five minutes. This was Mir. Rice's first appearance before a Brewton au- dience, put he fully sustained his repu- tation Gs an orator.
 The grand concert given by Profes- sor R. E. Black and his students of music the night previous was largely attended and well received. The way in which each number was rendered gave evidence of the careful training each pupil had received.

After fifteen or twenty minutes whirling through noisy thoroughfares and dingy side streets, he came to the avenue where he was In the habit of getting off to walk.
 As Burton neared his own home, his spirits began to rise @ little. If there was anyone in the world who could coax him back into humor, tr was Helena They had been married all most five years. but the relation had not yet lost its honeymoon tints.

Centerville, May 9.-(Special.)-At II o'clock last night Sheriff E. H. Crawford and Deputy Sheriff Gardner left through the country for Blocton in response to a telephone message that Deputy sheriffs Collision and c. H. Cole had been shot from ambush. It seems that the deputies arrested six of eight white men at Blocton and put them in jail, and shortly after leaving the jail the deputies were fired upon from ambush and seriously wounded. The first report was that they were killed, but a later state ment corrected this report. They were shot with shotguns, and the par ties who did the shooting used buck shot.
 For more than a year the union miners at Blocton have been on a strike, and recently they have been guilty of many alleged acts of disor- der. During the latter part of last
