Mrs. B. f. Baird Remembers Otto

If Mrs. B. F. Baird has her way about
it the body of Otto HUM, who either
committed suicide or was murdered 4
few days ago will not be buried in the
pauper's field. Mrs. Baird is III no way
related to HUM but she associates him
closely with the memory of her son who
enlisted in the Spanish American war
and went to the Philippine isl~nds and

young men were the best of friends.

known as an excellent swimmer was
taken with cramps and called to his
comrades who were on the shore for as

when he heard the cry of distress from:
a member of his company and he swan
his horse to the side of the stricken
soldier and was endeavoring 20 bring
him to shore when he was dragged from
his horse and both men were drowned.
HUM was on the bank and powerless
to aid his comrades who disappeared,
to come to the surface no more. All
day long he sat on the bank OF the
bay hoping that the body of Bairu
might come to the surface or be wash

permission from his officer to resume
his watch for the body duiing the
night, and just before dawn his vigil

The remains of young Baird were
prepared for burial and it was HUM
who saw that the details were carried
out, and he acted as one OF the pail
bearers, who carried the Young soldier
to his grave in the far away Philip
pines. It was he who marked The
grave of his friend and then sat down
and wrote the sad details of the death
of his friend to the mother in the
United States, who was anxiously
awaiting news from her son.

SEWER BOND QUESTION
 NOW UP AT wOODLAwN
Town to Hold Election on July 28 to Decide for or Against a $15,o0o.
 Issue.

The town of Woodlawn will hold an election on July B for the purpose of de- eiding whether or not it shall issue $15, 900 in additional bonds for the purpose of building sanitary sewers.
 About two years ago, during the in cumbency of the former administration, $15,0OO was voted for this purpose by tte people of the municipality, and surveys were made and plans drawn up for the system contemplated. It was then found that the sum voted was not more than half of what will be required to install a sufficiently extensive plan of sewera ge disposition for the growing town. The work was not taken up under these cir cumstances. The present admin stration Is especially desirous of making tlis form of improvement, and 1t feels that 1t Is absolutely necessary from a sanitary point of view.
 Woodlawn is gradually but surely i'm proving it's streets and sidewalks, and is being remarked for the excellent condi- ton in which the thoroughfares are kept. The town is spending on an average of little over thousand dollars l month for this purpose.

 Have Outing.

Methodists of Gadsden and Methodists of Ensley gathered at East Lake yester- day in large numbers The occasion was picnic given by the First Methodist church and Sunday school of Gadsden, and still another picnic given by the First Metho- dist church and Sunday school of Ensley.
