BABY THROWN FROM
 CHAIR INTO CRATE
Mother Had Gone on Brand and the Rocker Was Overturned
 During Her Absence.

Guntersville, February 19.-(Special)- The five months old baby of Sam Chand- Ter, residing at Columbus City, in this county. was fearfully burped last Friday. Its mother had placed 1t in rocking chair near the fire while she went into the yard on an errand. and In some way the chair was overturned throwing the baby out into the blazing wood fire. It's head and hands were terribly burned, and but litt hope of its recovery Is en- tertained. The unfortunate parents are well connected here and have the sym pathy of a large number of friends and acquaintances.
 This was county court day here, sev- eral cases being disposed of by Probate Judge Carter. The preliminary examina- tion of Frank Adams for the shooting of Ed Hall at Bean Rock, sixteen miles down the river a few days ago. was postponed on account of the fact that Hall had not sufficiently recovered to attend the trial. Halls right arm was broken by one shot. another went through his shoulder, while the third was only a glancing shot. The combatants are tim Der men down the river and undertook to settle some matters of difference by shooting it out. Halls shooting was not so good as his adversary, his aim going wild of the mark.
 The past five weeks stands without a parallel for mid-winter weather in this section. With only one slight fall of rain in that time and almost continuous sun shine Farm work has gone steadily on until the farmers are now almost ready for planting The public highways are as dusty as midsummer, The memory of the oldest inhabitants recalls no spell of weather like the present.

 WILL BE OPENED
THE BOARD OF REVENUE MEETS, WITH FULL MEMBERSHIP PRES ENT-No ACTION IS TAKEN ON COURT HOUSE EXTENSION.

The Jefferson county Board of Revenue yesterday decided to make changes in two existing roads for the purpose of strengthening curves It also decided to open a new road in Precinct 3.
 The board met yesterday morning with a full membership present, and lot of routine business was transacted. The roads to be changed are the Jaybord road, in Precinct SS and the Pratt city-Jasper road. in Precinct 2s.
 The new road is to be in the southern portion of the county. The following viewers" were named to go over the proposed route and make the arrange ments for laying out the road: R. c. Hewes, J. M. Dupuy, R. B. sueyer, R. H. Hagood, J. D. Lanier and F. D. Tar rant. They will make a report to the board in week or two.
 The board took no action on the mat ter of the proposed addition to the court house and jail, but after the meeting ad JOulnSu 5SNeIdl uleIlDelS eApiSSocu LAShl- selves as opposed to any action along those lines at this time.
 Job Going stated that the feeling of the board was that no addition should be made to the court house until some constitutional act was adopted by the legislature looking for more judges in Jefferson county. Should additional judges be furnished to assist in keeping the Jail free of prisoners. then the board would make the change necessary to furnish the additional quarters, but nothing would be done before that time, he said.
 Others members expressed the same opinion. It was stated that the board did not feel that any addition was need ed to the jail. The board was said to be of the opinion that it would be better to have enough judges to keep down the number of prisoners to such a small total that the jail would be capable of hold ing them easily
 The board will hold no further sessions this week. but will meet again next Mon day
