 Schedule Not Pleasing.
 There is going up a howl from Selma merchants over one feature of the pro- posed schedule to be inaugurated by the Southern Railway on April IS. This is the failure of the company to give Selma double daily trains between this city and Mobile. Double daily trains are put on between Selma and Birmingham but the additional train is all for Birming- hams benefit. On the other hand the changing of the time of the arrival of the train from Mobile to 2:30 D. m. from 12 :3C and making the departure at 11:30 in the morning instead of at 4:25 in the after noon is a direct disadvantage to Selma merchants as 1t compels citizens living between this city and Thomasville to remain all night in Selma before they can return to their homes.
 There is likelihood of action by the Commercial and Industrial association and every means exhausted to obviate this discrimination. If the Southern will put on an accommodation train between Thomasville and Selma leaving at or near the same hours that the accommodation between Mobile and Thomasville leave, the new schedule will be satisfactory loud and long.
 Looking for Boys.
 few nights ago two boys, whose identity are not disclosed, attempted by cutting the plate glass of the Rowell- Hudson Shot companys store to secure a box containing s3o which Is to be given away by the firm. They were fright ened away before they finished the job but not before they had outlined the box with the glass cutter. The police de- partment is hard at work on the matter and hope to apprehend the would-be rob- bers before long.
