The election had been called to be held on August 8. There was such a strong sentiment against the bond issue that it was thought best to postpone the matter 'n- definitely until there was more hope of having the proposition meet with favor at the polls. The farmers seem to feel that with the resources at hand the county should be able to make good progress to- ward better highways without burdening edness.

At a meeting of the stockholders of the Floyd Dawson Piano company, held yesterday, the following officers were elected to serve for year; F. F. Daw- son, president and manager; w. T. Mur- phree, vice president c. L. Murphree, treasurer; c. F. Weaver, secretary.
 The board of directors consists of w. T.. Murphree, F. F. Dawson, c. L. Murphree, C. F. Weaver and J. F. Rush.
 The business has been in successful op- eration for the past year under the man agement of MT. Dawson and the future of the company is exceptionally bright. The new location on Broad street has been fitted up in fine shape and the store pre- sents as fine an appearance as any in cities much larger than this, and is a distinct credit to Gadsden.
 Word was received here today of the blowing up of the mill dam at Ball Play by vandals on Monday night. The dam was the property of J. H. Helms, located on Ball Play creek. This is the second time that the dam has been destroyed by unknown parties and an effort is being made to ferret out the guilty ones and have them punished.
 Attalla is in the midst of strenuous city campaign. There are already three candidates for mayor in the field and numerous seekers for aldermanic honors. As it is not intended to have a primary, but allow all to run in the general cleo tion this fall, it is quite probable that many more patriots will spring up mean while.
