PEACE CONGRESS PLANS

Tuscaloosa, April 12.-(Special )-Noth- ing definite has yet been heard of the whereabouts of Redd and Jones, the men who are being hunted for the killing of Deputy Sheriff Reddick There was a rumor here yesterday afternoon that they had been located over about Gordo, but this proved to have nothing in it. It is thought, however, that they are still n the neighborhood of the killing, and a. posse of eight men went out that way this morning. Nothing has been heard from them since. Sheriff Oakley of Bibb county states that the reward offered by him of $500 for Redd and $25O for Jones will be paid upon the capture of these parties, dead or alive, without regard to whether or not they are later convicted, The governor has also offered the sum of $2oO for the arrest and conviction of the slayer of Reddck.

 The sawmill of MT w. E. Bowers was completely destroyed by fire Wednesday night. The mill is situated on Twenty sixth avenue, just where 1t crosses the Warrior Southern railroad. It is not known just how the fire was started, though 1t is supposed to have been caused by cigarette stump thrown among the shavings and sawdust about the mill. MT. Bowers estimates his loss between s1200 and s150O.
 The new board of Mayor and Aldermen elected over In Northport have decided that their little city shall no longer have dispensary, and have ordered that no further purchases be made by them They will, however, sell out what stock they now have on hand, and when this is done the doors will be closed and the Northport dispensary will be thing of the past. It will be remembered that this was practically the issue at the recent election held in that city. although the outgoing board disclaimed any desire to hold on to the dispensary, and claimed that they would be governed by the peo- pie in this matter. However this was, Northport is now fast going dry amid mingled emotions of joy and sorrow.
