afternoon and has not be recaptured.

concealed weapon, and is one of the men
who figured in the recent attempt at jail
breaking He was relieved of any re-
sponsibility in this, however, and his con-
duct has been such since that the officers

turn one to the right, the other to the
left, and walk out to the end position.
Then a few more march out in per-
feet time to the end of the line. From
this wired formation accomplished
with much ceremony, almost any sort
of play except a center buck can be
started.
mo matter what it is 1t finds the
Alabama players massed on the two
ends with the center absolutely unpro-

snap Is made quickly the plays get

finds half a dozen Alabama players
punched at the end of the scrimmage
line and ready to form interference.
The opposing team is usually left star

Alabamas go through their evolutions.

presbytery, at the session here, at which

stirred up a veritable hornets nest, and

both sides in this county. Indignation has
been expressed by some Presbyterians
because the ants choose to use Rev. Sin

lions should not be adopted-the princi-
pal one being that it was mixing the
church in politics-and both sides are
claiming that it is making votes for
them.
