FINcH-M'CREARY.
People of Evergreen Regret to Lose
 pr. J. 6. Frazer.


 Evergreen, December 17.-(Special) )-The social event of the week was the mar riage on Wednesday at p. m. of MT. R. J. McCreary of Chapman to Miss Katie Finch of this place. The cere- mony was performed at the Episcopal church by the Rev. H. T. Walden, the rector. Walter Lee, brother-in-law of the bride, gave her away. Mrs. Lee, her sister, was matron of honor and Messrs Fl. w Dunn and J. H. Dey were ushers. Miss Finch is one of the most beloved young women in Evergreen. She is the daughter of the late Lewis Finch, for long while one of the most prominent business men of Evergreen. The groom belongs to one of the oldest families in this section of the state. The popularity of the young couple was at tested by the numerous and handsome presents they received. They will make their home at Chapman. where MT. Me- Creary has a position with one of the largest lumber companies in Alabama.
 The people of Evergreen much regret to lose pr. J. s. Frazer, who has served now only one year as presiding elder of this district. The recent selection of pr. Frazer to serve on the mission board is regarded as . promotion. A promi- nent Methodist, in speaking of Dr. Frazer recently, said: '"The doctor is certainly, in my opinion. in the line of promotion, and will be favorably considered when the next election of bishops occurs" :" late meeting of the Alabama conference. His choice to the episcopacy would cer- tainly be well-meritet honor, and would give great pleasure to the people hero, where he is SO well known and highly esteemed.

BIRMINGHAM IN CIRCUIT

Montgomery, December 17.-(Special) )-- The publication in morning paper that an extensive cooking main was in pro- caused a great lot of talk and more or less indignation on the part of the bet ter class of people that such thing
 would be allowed Friday a deputy of I Sheriff Hoods office went out and ar rested James Stripling and William Stickney, charging them with having a part in fighting cocks in defiance of the laws against such practice in the state Both made bond and both deny that
 there is anything in the charges.
 The day before the arrests were made
 Sheriff Hood sent two deputies to the
 park and they found nothing but crowd
 of men sitting about eating barbecue. They had a number of birds, game and
 otherwise, In sight. but it was claimed
 that they were there for exhibition
 purposes and that no fighting was done and none would be allowed. Fair as- sociation officers understood that it was
 fowl exhibit. The morning paper story
 stated that 1t had sent Fl reporter to the scene and that he had been admit
 ted on two evenings and had seen fights going on. This reporter stated that one COCh WdS sdul DdCh liitO lilc Qit Nltii wings broken and made to fight until killed.
 The sheriff, after the publication of this story, caused the arrest of the two men named above. He states that he stationed deputies there Thursday and Friday to see that no more fights were allowed if there had been any before that time

 Many Seek Pardon.

His days are filled with pleas from broken hearted mothers and |, even his evenings and time off are not free from the stress of these who urge him to let prisoners out of the peniten- tiary in time to get home for the holi- days.

 Roberson then asked Clark if he would care for his children. which he promised to do After telling things that caused him to start back to Russellville to give up and giving a personal warning to young men to turn from their wicked ways. he asked for a prayer, which was given by the Rev. J. w. Partridge, and two young ladies. Roberson then asked for all to hold up their hands and he held up his and in that way he told all goodby.
 Roberson then walked back into jail and to the scaffold. AS he was going up the steps he remarked without e culver, '.That looks like an extra large rope The rope was adjusted and the black cap placed over his head. Roberson began to pray and Sheriff Lowery pulled the trigger as he was saying, Lord, have mercy on my soul!'
 In II minutes he was pronounced dead and the rope was cut in 161s minutes. Thus one of the most horrible crimes ever committed in Franklin county was ayeng- ed by law.

Camp Hill has one of the best city public schools of any town it's size in the state. The school building Is brick structure and a credit to the community It cost about $12.000 Prof. W. s. Mcleod is prin- cipal. The teachers are Mrs. W. s. Nc Leod. Miss Lalage Longshore, Mrs Liz zie Newell and Miss Essie Hall.
 J. H. Mayne is mayor of the town.
 Churches include Methodist, Baptist, Primitive Baptist and Universalist. About 50 per cent of the people of the communi- ty belong to the universalist church and the congregation has erected here a very handsome church that would cost more than $10000 by contract. It is in- deed & most creditable church.
 It seems to be matter of mere acci- dent that so many people of this faith drifted to this one community in the state. There are but few of this faith in the south and I know of but two communities where they are so numerous.
 In defining the faith of the church one of the official members said: we be- lieve everything that All other denomina- tions believe and ffien some more. We believe that every man will be punished for the sins he commits but that that punishment will not last forever. We be- lieve that God in his infinite mercy will finally save every soul and bring 1t into His kingdom"
