As the breast works have been destroyed on the Sum merheld road. the sand being hauled away for use, the United Daughters of the Confectionery of Selma selected the breast works left to be marked as well as to mcrk the spot near which several promi- nent citizens fell.
 1t is proposed to have the unveiling Friday afternoon preceded by praper and an address, followed by a salute from cannons, The exercises will be brief but interesting and be largely attended. It will furnish to the children and youth of Selma a never-fading object lession freshening their minds to the fact that Selma bore it's part in defending itself from ar enemy.

 cry, Ala.
 Dear Slr-I myself have arrested on yesterday State Senator for shooting ducks; Sheriff - and County Solicitor - for shooting coots or other shore birds, and they will be tried the fourth Monday before Probate Judge -.

 County Game Warden"
 Mr. Wallace says: This letter gives incontestible evidence of the fact that a strict surveillance is being had over the entire state and that those who violate the game law will be prosecuted ire spective of their station in life.
