 State vs Augustus Smith, assault and battery; not guilty.
 State vs. Cheste Hagles, violating pro- hibition law; plead guilty and fined $100.
 State vs. Joe Mealer, assault with intent to murder not guilty.
 There were also a number of cases ap- pealed from the police court which were attended to. In the police court this morning J. Morgan was fined 30 because he reported that Ollie Anderson was car rying a concealed weapon. In the trial of Anderson it was shown that he had nothing but a snuff box in his pocket. There were several more minor cases. chiefly drunks. The statement made this morning that Gus Clewis was fined $100 and 1S0 days fcf violating the prohibition law was mistake. Clewis plead guilty to the charge and was fined only $75.

 The substantially of the community makes every Alabama visitor proud that Anniston is located in his state.
 Anniston is indeed the Model City. It is sometimes called the Brooklyn of the South on account of its large num- Der of churches and schools. It has per- haps the finest church property in the south.
 St. Michaels and All Angels Episcopal church is built on a magnificent scale. There are 30 churches in Anniston.
 Organization of Town.
 The town was organized in 1884. Prior to this time it was struggling village clinging around one small furnace on the road leading from Jacksonville, the county seat, to Oxford The town was called Woodstock and had less than 500 inhabitants. In 1884 another furnace was built and the place began to grow. The name was changed to Anniston.
 The panic that came over the country about ten years later like a poisonous scourge almost ruined the struggling city Many fortunes were lost while weeds and briars grew up between the brick pavements on the main sidewalks The most pretentious buildings in the town became the habitat of owls and lizards and wheels rusted in the mills.
 But the revival came and Annistor recovered slowly but permanently. The subsequent growth has been truly won derful. Anniston came through the more recent panic with flying colors.
 The population at the present is close to 10000 and is growing rapidly. Every plant but one is in operation and tha is running on part time.
 Army of Employees.
 The number of men employed in manu featuring plants of various kinds is 700 with a monthly pay roll of more thar $3oO,O00 The industries include Il iror and steel manufacturing plants, eigh cotton mills and 23 plants and industries of a general nature, such as lumber brick, woodworking and similar enter prises.

The party given by rrof. and Mrs.
C. f. Carter last Saturday evening
was just about the greatest ever.
Those who still hug the delusion that
there is nothing new under the sun
should read about It. !.
The program started In. as pro-
grams generally do, with music. and
gradually evolved into the new and
novel. until at last = whole flock Of
chickens were auctioned on, right
there In the parlor, bringing prices
rising away above fancy. even reach
ing the hithArto unheard of ngure OF
1000. 900.
But 20 - bnck 10 vhe beginning: !:
A violin solo BY Miss Lucy Delbridge.
pianos solos by the Misses Margaret
Banta and Freda .aylor and q song
by Miss Alice Taylor completed the
music.
The color scheme. yellow and
white, was carried out In dailodills
and hyacinths. Then each guest was
given q piece OF white muslin and n
yellow thread and told to embroider
a chicken. The gentlemen we're the
Judges as to which production w:.n
the most or least like a chicken.
The frst prize, q little chicken nest
ling in a daffodil, fell to Mrs. Harry
Dowell. and the last. . nest OF eggs,
to Mr.. Merten. Next the guests were
required to match little yellow
chickens to find their places at table.
The same color scheme was carried
out in each refreshment. After that
each guest cut q chicken from white
paper and paired them with colored
pencils. and the fun reached Its eli
max when the whole flock of chickens
thus produced we're collected and
sold at auction. Mr.. Lakin acting as
auctioneer. Grains of yellow and
white corn served as dollars and
cents. and bidding ran high. one
reckless guest finally running a
specially fine specimen of fancy breed
to the gasping figure OF 100000.
That broke the bank, and the CON-
pany dispersed.

report published at Chicago will be
of interest to the shippers here:
The movement of sheep and
lambs from the northern Colorado
feed lots ls at swift gait. and now
ids fair to empty the lots earlier
than usual. although shipments from
there started about month later
than last year. Stormy weather ana
scarcity of alfalfa are the factors N
forcing stock to market sooner than
anticipated. F. J. Schroeder was here
this week and said that of a little
over 100 loads put in the north
ern Colorado feed lots at the start o'
the season there are not more than
700 loads back now. 1t Is true the
stock was put in at much cheaper
rates than last year, but prevailinS
prices for fat lambs are only slightly
higher than one year ago. The 1eso-
ers need good money for their oHe',
ings. as they did not make the usual
good gains. owing to the inclemen'

took his usual whack at the laws
