THE HOO HOGS TO
 MEET IN DECATUR
FRUIT IS UNINJURED BY COLD WEATHER-ELBER PROMISE BIG cRoP-NEW DECATUR ELEC- TON COMES MAY 7.
Nothing else.
 Nothing easier. Nothing SltreY.

Decatur, April 4-(Special)-Next Tues day night April 9, there will be meet ing of the Hoo Hoos of Alabama held in Decatur. This is an organization of lum- bermen and the organization has become quite popular in recent years.
 At this meeting there will be about twenty considerations and a royal time is expected. The meeting will be closed with a grand banquet, at which time a number of friends will be invited and number of toasts will be responded to.
 The cold wave of the past few days has not injured the fruit in this section. The indications are that there will be an un- usually large crop of fruit of all kinds in this locality this year.
 The prospects are exceptionally flatter- ing at this time for a large crop of AL berta peaches around Decatur and Hart selle.
 The city election of New Decatur takes place May [. As yet no one has an nounced for Mayor except Capt. Samuel Blackwell, who has been the Mayor of that city for the past four years It seems as if he will have no opposition for re- election It is frequently remarked in New Decatur that there is not a man in the city who could defeat Captain Black well for Mayor for another term.
 City Clerk Guy r. Ponder is being op- posed for reelection by Henry Hartung, while Marshal A. J. Lacy has num- Der of opponents in the race. The eandi- dates for city marshal are A. J. Lacy, William B. Scott, Sam M. Bates, Charles K Thomas, William l.. Pate. The in- dications are that the race for marshal will be the only one of much interest.
 Four aldermen are to be named at this election. Candidates for aldermen will be nominated within the next few days at citizens meetings held in the various wards of the city.

 Next Week.

Selma, April 4.-(Special.) )-Mai " B. Atkins, commanding officer of the First Squadron cavalry, Alabama National Guard, has rendered his resignation to Governor Conner The announcement of his resignation will be learned with re- gret by many members of the guard who have served with him in various capacities for the past twenty-seven years.
 Below is given his letter of resigna- ton and from it it will be seen that he has held a commission in the cavalry for twenty years About year ago he ten dered his resignation to Governor Jelks, but at the urgent request of the latter withdrew it.
 Major Atkins is mayor of Selma and the increased territory taken in, the pro- posed purchase of the water works and the paving of several streets, will en- tail extra duties upon the mayor who is to be elected for a third term on the first Monday in May. He therefore, is compelled to give up the command of the cavalry. His letter of resignation is as follows:
 Selma, Ala, April ?, 1907. His Excellency, B. B. Conner, Governor Montgomery, Ala.
 Dear Sir:-I have served in the Alabama National Guard as an enlisted soldier and a commissioned officer continuously since 1887 in tie -avalry service, and prior to this time, as an enlisted man for seven years in the infantry service; my first commission as officer in the National Guard bears date of 1S9O and since that time | have been continuously serving the people as a commanding officer of the cavalry and 1 regret very much that owing to business of greater moment and matters that I am compelled to give my best attention that l deem it best and wisest to sever my connection with the Alabama National Guard l. therefore, with many regrets, tender my resignation as major of the First cavalry, Alabama National Guard. I have the honor to re- main, your obedient servant,

 Work of VandaI.
 Some vandal perpetrated an outrageous trick upon w. T. Atkins, Sr., some time during last night. Several years ago MT. Atkins had beautiful Miamosa tree in his yard, under which the children of the entire neighborhood delighted to play. The tree was cut down but there had grown up a beautiful bush which prom ised to make a splendid tree
 This morning when MT. Atkins came out of his house he found some vandal had literally destroyed the bush. The limbs were broken off and will hardly grow out again. He valued the growing bush very much and if the person who perpetrated the deed is caught the severest penalty of the law will be invoked upon him.

that mails must go out regularly if
