The leading citizens of Pell City
f,o ,hD nEr
last year as we'll as those who were his
supporters-have agreed among them
selves to vote for Geo. w. Pratt for mayor
this year and to recognize no opposition.
Mr.. Pratt is not candidate, but the peo-
pie of Pell City feel they could no better
show their appreciation of him than to
give him an honorary vote for mayor
Pell City (Ala.) Herald.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Steck entertained
few of their friends at delightful
chafing dish supper last Friday evening

one for entertaining and was most artis-
tic on this occasion, showing to advant-
age the exquisite taste of the hostess.
The guests we're: Mr. and Mrs. K. r.
Lucas, DR.. and Mrs. B. f. Sloan, Mr..
and Mrs. Sidney Adams and Mr.. aud
Mrs. c. G. Jasnes.
There was no Court held in Wal
halla this week. Owing to the fact that
the jury was notified not to attend,
Judge Gary also failed to appear, mis-
understanding the facts in the case He
was expected here for the purpose of
signing orders and hearing causes that
were not to be tried by jury. FL. Ru-
dolph RabeDs, who was to have been
sentenced, reached Walhalla Sunday
afternoon, but the Judges absence
made it impossible for his sentence to be
opened. 1t Is quite probable that his at
torneys will appeal, in which case he
will be required to deposit cash bond
of five thousand dollars in one of the
banks here pending the result of the ap-
peal.
1t is quite probable that there will
be change in the schedule on the Blue
Ridge Railway next Sunday, the 18th.
AS far as we are able to learn the morn
ing passenger train will leave Walhalla
at about the same time it does now, but
the midday passenger will arrive about
noon and leave about 1.30 p. m. The
freight (accommodation) will probably
reach here about 2 O'Clock and leave at 4
o'clock. The last passenger train will
reach here between 9 and $50 in the
evening, instead of 10 O'Clock, as at
present. This is practically the old
schedule that obtained prior to January
lst, and probably gave better satisfac-
ton, all things considered, than any
schedule since the time when the Blue
Ridge was operated as through line to
Columbia.
