BOYS ARE CAUGHT
 ROBBING STORE

Attala, September 1.-(Special.) 1.-The store of the Petit Grocery company on Fourth street was entered last night by Will Renfroe and Lennel Simpson, of Alabama City, boys aged about IS and 14 years, and 1925 was taken from one cash drawer. Another cash drawer was opened and about $100 in commits sary checks were taken from it and placed on the counter. The cash till of the office was also opened. About this time Chief of Police Burke passed that way and finding the rear door open en- tered and captured the boys and placed them in the city lookup, where they re- mained until this morning, when they were transferred to the county jail to await trial. It seems that the younger boy entered the store during the after noon and hid himself until the store was closed He then opened the rear door and let his associate in.
 The two sons of Billie Yancy, of Big Wills valley, twelve miles north of At talla, who were bitten a short time ago by mad dog, are now in Montgomery taking treatment for hydrophobia The two boys, aged Il and IA, respectively, concluded to raise a hunting dog and got possession of a pup and it's mother Not long afterwards the mother dog showed unmistakable signs of rabies and was promptly killed. The pup con tinued to grow and became quite playthng for the boys. Later on while apparently in playful mood it bit one of the boys through the foot but no special attention was given the matter until a few days later it bit the other boy through the arm, after which the pup died with fits.
 MT. Yaney became alarmed and sent the dogs head to Montgomery, where upon examination it was found to be case of genuine hydrophobia.

Customs Receipts Heavy.

Distinctiveness and charm in design will characterize the styles for fall and winter. Woman's costuming has been given the best attention of world famed designers and novel and decided are the creations which they have produced.
 The fabrics include quite a range for choice. Broadcloth, however, will continue as a leader, while diagonal chevrons, serges and English Worsteds will find equal favor for outdoor wear, and that popular fabric, prunella cloth holds sway for calling gowns and social occasions.
 In cOlors, never before was there such variety in charming tones, many of them ab- solutely new The colors come in raisin- the new purplish shade-c -chickory-a new green-OliVe, peacock, poussier-a rich shade of gray-carab artichoke, light moss, ashes of roses, mustard seal, walnut nutmeg and pearl gray.
 The designs are particularly effective, tending to severely tailored effects. Long, straight lines are still in vogue while the Moyen Age will prove decidedly popular.
