FOR A NEW STATION.
Brewton Enthused over Prospects for
 Handsome Depot.

Brewtou, April 20.-(Special.) )--If plans submitted to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad within the past few days materialize, Brewton will have a modern. frst-class passenger station at no distant day. The location decided upon is ideal-just north of the pres ent depot--on the land recently pur- chased by Lilies and Luttrell from Mrs. M. E.. Riley of Pensacola. The sug- gestions in connection with the move. which have the unanimous endorsement of everyone, are in substance as foi- lows:
 The railroad to purchase sixty-foot strip of the land on which. and the right-of- way, the depot is to be built. The house track to extend from Cedar Creek switch. in rear of the depot, to point in front of the Brewcambla Hotel A freight depot to be built north of the passenger station and the present building demolished. This will obviato the necessity for string of box ears to be kept standing con- tlnually on the siding in the business part of town, which Is matter or much annoyance and inconvenience to pedestrians going to and rom the depot
 The Louisville and Nashville has shown a willingness to erect com modlous depot here. commensurate with the commercial interests of the town, which does more shipping and receives more freightthan any station between Mobile and Montgomery, be- sides doing a passenger business sec ond to none on the line for town the size of Brewton. Heretofore the abil- ity to secure suitable land on which to erect new buildings has been a draw back, and now that this has been done away with, the people of Brewton con- fdently expect to see a change made in the near future, which will reflect credit on both the town and the rail- road company.
 At meeting of the Democratic Ex- ecutive Committee of the Twenty first Senatorial District, held at Flomaton, A convention was called to meet in Brewton September G. to select Dem ocratic nominee to represent the Twen- ty-frst senatorial District in the next Gencral Assembly. Each county Baldwin, Escambia and Monroe--wiIl be entitled to the same number of del crates 10 the convention as they would be entitled to in a State Democratic Convention The manner of selecting delegates is left to the actions of the proper authorized authorities in the respective counties

TWO HOMES BURNED
A DAMAGING FIRE VISITS BRAssELL
 STREET.
Residences of Mrs. Bettie Hvey and Miss ChIOra Compton are Destroyed,
 Causing Loss of
 S2.SOO.

Fire at 63O o'clock last night gutted the one-story frame residence of Mrs. Bettie Ivey at 3s Brassell Street, and seriously damaged the two-story frame residence of Miss Chlora ComptonSat sS Brassell Street. The loss is estimated at $2500,
 While the origin of the fire is un- known, 1t could be seen that 1t had it's start in the roof of the Ivey residence. When discovered 1t had made consid- erable headway and was burning fierce ly. The alarm was speedily turned In, but the Ivey residence was 6 solid mass of flames by the time the department arrived.
 Three lines of hose were run. and the same number of streams were turned on the blaze. The fire, however, grew in almost every portion of the city. The heat became so intense that the root of the Compton residence, adjoining the Ivey residence to the south and but a few feet distant. was in blaze The firemen then encountered the doubly difficult task of fighting two fires. See ing that the Ivey residence was doomed they turned their attention - to the Compton home and had the fire under control by 7:15 o'clock. It was. how ever, about 7:45 o'clock before the last vestige of the fire was extinguished.
 The Ivey home was completely de- stroyed and only few articles of fur niture were saved. Mrs. Ivey carried S75O insurance on her residence, which she owned, and s250 on her furnishings. Her total loss will probably reach Sl,500.
 The roof of the Compton residence underwent almost complete destruction. The furnishings of the lower floor were nearly all saved. but those of the sec ond story could not be gotten out The goods that were carried out sustained damage by breakage. The upper floor and the furnishings were badly dam aged by fire, water and smoke, while the damage to the lower floor was caused chiefly by water,
 Miss Compton probably sustained total loss of $1.000. She carried s1,6OO insurance on the building and $500 on the furnishings.
 The one-story residence of Victor F. Hilton, adjoining the Ivey residence on the north. was slightly damaged, The roof caught fire, but was quickly put out. The loss on this house was very small being probably slo The building is owned by B. A. Blakey

by tradition and authority. It shelter ed them. and by it's craft they had their living. Not that all had sordid motives, but the situation was one to stunt the mind and spirit. They were naturally alert against innovations, suspicious and bigoted. They could not under stand, they were afraid of the young, reforming rabbi of Nazareth. And in their Judgment it would be far better that He should be put to death, than that the whole fabric of ecclesiasticism should be brought down about their ears. The Pharisee is a type of one style of folks today. His sins were negative. He was lacking in sympathy for the unfortunate and sinful: in faith and love toward the Savior: in the spirit of helpfulness to- ward the miserably unhappy. His were the sins of the upper classes of the present He needed to be shaken from the colnplacency of his seIfrighteous- ness Jesus did 1t skiIlfulIy.
 The woman was type of another in- veterate class. Hers were the gross sins of the flesh. No omissions, but commissions. She had paid the deadly penalty in excruciating tortues of body and of mind, But the stream of Jesus forgving love washed away her fearfuf load. And being forgiven much, she loved much.
