BODY OF BOY |S
 FOUND IN RIVER Discovered By M. F. Stouden- mire Near AutaugaviIIe II IS YET LINDEN TIFlED It Is Thought To Be the Body of the Boy Who Was Drowned at Mont
 gomery Some Weeks
 Ago.
II IS YET UNIDENTIFIED

Prattville, July 5.-(Special.) )-News has body of boy, apparently of about 15 or Is years of age in the Alabama river, late Sunday afternoon about six or eight miles below Autaugaville, in this coun- ty The body was floating down the river face down, and was so badly decomposed 1t was not possible to say whether it was the body of negro or white person, save for the hair being straight.
 M. r. Stoudenmire, who resides in that part of the county, was out rowing up panied by his family last Sunday after noon when they discovered an object floating. They set out to overtake the ob- ject and when they did, discovered 1t was a human body. The body was taken from the water and help was called from the neighboring settlers, and the body was buried on the bank of the Alabama river on House Bluff. It Is thought here that 1t Is the body of the young man or boy who was drowned in Montgomery a few weeks ago.
 There is no coroner in this county and there was no inquest held. It is not yet too late to take up the body and identify it If parties interested care to. The place where the body was buried can be reached by boat on the Alabama river or by rail to Autaugaville and with cross- country drive of six or seven miles.

The Tribune editor will pay a Liberal reward for information that will lead to the arrest, con- viction and imprisonment of the person who entered his premises on Thursday of last week and cut down large cedar tree that lent much dignity to our lawn. We know who did it., but lack in evidence. John Buell. admits cutting the tree but defies us to prove it.
 John Sneed is the owner of the finest young mare perhaps in Carroll county. She is a thoroughbred, and is as fine 8 specimen of a draught animal one could wish to see. He paid two and half for her at Monett, Mo-, last fall after she had taken first prize at several county fairs. MT. Sneed is deeply in- terested in raising of fine stock and he finds the buisness a very profitable one.
 Jerry Brammer is at home again after a sheep buying trip of several weeks in the counties east. He says thereis some very promising country along the new extension of the M. & N. A. in Van Buren and Cleburne counties. He may decide to make some investments down that way. He brought home a nice bunch of sheep.
 Don't forget that the way to get a buyer for any thing you have to sell or to find anything you want to buy is to place a little ad. in The Tribune.
 We train you for good business positions and you can pay us from your earnings after you have finished the course. Write for particulars. Fayetteville Commercial College, Fayetteville, Ark.
