 here. He was member of the local lodge of Elks, and that order conducted
 the funeral exercises this afternoon,
 which were held at 330 o'clock MT Gull pepper leaves his parents, his father be- ing engaged in the furniture business here, and several sisters.
 The Rev L. 0. Dawson preached strong sermon last night at the Baptist church on the question of whether or not Tuscaloosa county should further engage
 in the sale of whisky. MT Dawson was a prominent leader In the fight for the dis ' pensary here several years ago as again st i, the saloons bl&he ,andmany ha t 123 l, the saloons, but he, and many others,
 made this fight with the purpose of ul-
 timately establishing prohibition through l out the county.
 1 The sermon was a strong argument
 against the sale of whisky in any form. 1 and was thoughtfully listened to by the | large congregation It doubtless will have 1 the effect to strengthen the opposition l here to the dispensary.
