Made Off With Pistol.

Harry Thompson. white a stranger in
Selma, was before Mayor Atkins this
morning on the charge of the larceny of
a pistol. The man has a very progresses
ing appearance and his predicament was
TO be regretted. His only excuse was
that he was under the influence of whisky
al the time.
The pistol was taken from Mr.. Sam Nc
Foilard's restaurant Tuesday night He,
it seems, was the only possible one who
could have taken it and when asked about
1t by Mr. McFoilard he said that if Mr.
McFoilards would give him fifty cents he
knew who had taken it and would go and
get it. This Mr.. McFoilard did. but
Thompson never returned He was seen
in a music store with the pistol, it Is
said, and asked the proprietor to show
him how to get the cartridges out.
The supposition is that he afterwards
pawned the weapon. He went off with an
officer after court and secured the weap-
on. The mayor assessed a fine of s45
or ninety days, but 1t is likely that
since the return of the weapon to its
rightful owner the mayor may give him
IS minues to leave the city.

REVIEW OF THINGS DONE

| Gadsden, January 10.-(Special. The
Commercial club will hold the first meet
ing of the new year on Friday night.
The meeting will be of special interest to
the entire city as a programme of the
work for the year will be announced and
efforts will be redoubled for the upbuild-
| ing of the city. A vast amount of good
has been accomplished during the year
just closed, and the success of the or
ganization is looked upon with much
pleasure and pride by the citizens. Seere-
tary J. r. McMullen has prepared a
short review of some of the more i'm
portant things accomplished, and says in
part:
What value is the Commercial club
to Gadsden?
1T occupies the same position to Gads-
den that a rudder to ship or the rails
to railroad train 1t directs the COM
mercial and industrial course of the
town.
What has 1t accomplished In the year
1906?
THE doubling of railroad facilities in
enlarged depots. enlarged yards, increased
traclage and in nearly so per cent in
crease in tonnage and nearly 100 per cent
increase in passenger earnings Postal
laclhlieS nave bteH greatly lHGFedSeu Inc
railroads have spent nearly a quarter of
a million dollars in improvements in
Gadsden and on account of Gadsden. The
car works have been enlarged and are
constantly increasing in number of en-
ployes and work turned out. Pipe works
and additional blast furnaces have been
erected. Our lumber mills and brick yards
are worked to their fullest capacity. A
Carnegie library has been built and opened
to the public. over $25000O worth of store
houses and residences have been erected
The street ear system has been great
ly extended and improvd The ice and
electric light plants are being improved
and enlarged to the extent of 100000. Adj
dtional steamers have been placed on
the river. Real estate has more than
doubled In value and business has CORE
spondngly increased In all lines Several
additions have been added to the city
and more real estate changed hands in
1906 than probably any other three or five
years In the previous history of the city.
Gadsden has been advertised as never be-
fore. And all this has been brought about
directly or indirectly through the organ
lied efforts of its citizens through the
Commercial club"
