BODY IS FOUND.
Rev. Bob Jones Will Hold a Revival
 at BreWton.

Brewton. October 10--(Special )-Yester- day afternoon a negro woman was found dead in a house in what is known as the red row, near the railroad track, in Alco Coroner McLendon was notified and held an inquest over the remains. The woman had been murdered either in the house or placed there afterwards. She had two bullet wounds, one in the shoulder and one in the back and was bruised badly about the head. The body was in a bad state of decomposition, having evidently been dead several weeks. The house in which the negro was found, and those near it, have not been occupied for several months. Being in an out-of- the-way place accounts for the find not being made sooner. The coroner's jury returned verdict that the deceased came to her death at the hands of a party un- known to them.
 The Rev Bob Jones' the evangelist. has consetned to come to Brewton and conduct a series of. meetings the last of this month. As the Methodist church IS undergoing extensive repairs, if q tent of sufficient size to hold the large crowds expected to attend the meetings cannot be secured the services will be held in the court house.

THANKSGIVING Hints.

Let no one else suspect that you have
little cause for thankfulness
Remember that every one has cause
TO be thnnkful--if not for personal a,
least for family. sectional and national
reasons
Try TO find the true spirit Of thanks
giving In thinking of other peoples
happiness and so find at least faint
reflection in your own heart.
Remember that there are more rea.
sons for the national holiday than a
football game and a big dinner
Do not let the responsibility OF en-
Pertaining guests interfere with the
pleasure of their society.
If the unavoidable bitches In the
domestic machinery occur, console
yourself with the thought that al
though the turkey was UNDERGONE. the
pumpkin pie was beyond reproach and
that II the cook forgot the celery she
remembered the salad dressing which
you had forgotten.
And try for one day to be charitable
not only In deed, but in every thought
and word
