important meeting late Wednesday af- ternoon and after some discussion the Association decided to observe Memor- ial Day this year on April 2s.
 There was some opposition among the members to holding the exercises on Sunday but the majority of the mem bers were not in favor of changing the day.
 Tho presidents of the Memorial As- sociation and the United Daughters of the Confederacy, were authorized to ask for proposals for the Morgan-Pet- tus monument, the same to be accom- panied by plans. specifications. etc. The idea that prevailed was that once the Association made up It's mind just what sort of a monument was desired, the funds for tho same would soon De forthcomink and the monument would be erected quicker than if they waited until they thought a sufficient sum had been raised.
 The memorial day procession will be formed at the Church Street Methodtst Church Sunday afternoon. April 26, at 4 o'clock, aud at 4:S0 will move te Live Oak Cemetery. Major D. M Scott was apointed marshal of the day.

TRAGEDY IN DALLAS
NEGRO KILLS HIS WIFE AND HER
 FATHER.
Bob Chapman Laid In Ambush For The Woman Near Marion Junction And Is Fugitive From
 Justice.

 Selma, April ?.
 The details of two of the most brutal murders ever committed in Dallas county which occurred a few miles east of Marion Junction. in the western part of the county. late yesterday aft ernoon. were learned here today. The murderer, a negro, made his escape after killing his wife and her father. but the country is being searched for him by deputy sheriffs and negroes in the section where the crime was committed.
 Late yesterday afternoon. Bob Chap man, a negro, took his shot gun and hiding behind some bushes alongside of a public road waited for his wire, Emma Chapman. and her father, Fir- gil Brazleton. to pass few min utes after the negro had taken ms position the woman with her father came down the road.
 Just as they passed the bushes, be- hind which Bob Chapman was hiding, the old negro. Virgil Brazleton. heard a noise and turned around when Bob Chapman raised his shot gun and hred and the old negro fell in the road dead the shot having entered his left eye. An instant later the negro fired A second shot at his wife and she fell to the ground with a wound in one of her legs.
 After the second shot the negro cooly reloaded his shot gun and walk ing up to his wife who was lying m the road calling for help. he discharged both loads into her body killing her instantly After the shooting the mur- dered made his escape and has not been seen since.
 That the murder was premeditated is evidenced from the four shells which he fired and which were found at the scene of the crime. The shells used by the negro in killing his father in-law and his wife were what are termed "cut shells" That is where the wad which divides the powder and shot the shells had been cut around so that they were held together by just a small piece and when the cap was exploded the shot and shell left the barrel of the gun together and the shot did not scatter.
 Jealousy Is supposed to have been the cause for the negro lying in wait to kill his wife and as her father was along he killed him, too.
