Dear Sir-Last June I purchased
one of your ten.acre tracts OF Altura
farms. At that time the weather was
very bad. and | could no; give the
personal inspection l desired. but
was convinced that the soil. location
and water rights were all that could
be desired. l again went over my tract
yesterday. went over II all along. and
take great pleasure to inform you
that ! am more than pleased with II.
The road which you are now putting
through the tract passes my place.
My only regret is that ! do not own
more. ! was also pleased TO notice
the buildings going up at the present
time. and | also learned that many
more are being contracted for. shall
begin TO build this fall. so as to be
ready to farm my tract as soon rs
the season opens.
With best regards and best wishes
for your future success. ! am.
Yours very truly.

 The ofIicers aboard the vessel as we'll as every man composing the crew have been selected from among the best men of the navy on torpedo work and for the past two months they have been engaged in testing and trying un- der various conditions the various types of torpedoes in use in the navies of the world, as well as those offered by manufacturers.
 While the result of those tests will not be dfvulged by the officers 1t is stated that a torpedo better than the one at present in use has been found. both for accuracy and speed, as well as being unobserved in approach.

Bob Coodtvyn, Negro,
 | Is Buried by Whites

and another who had learned to love the old negro. accompanied Mir. Bliss to the cemetery.
 byword with Montsomerians during the past year. The old negro was former ly slave, and late in life came by tho accident which deprived him of his right arm. and gave him the mark by which he was known.
 It Is told Of him by Mir. Henderson chat Bob was near to death when he had become entangled in the gin ma chinery. his arm torn off. and his skull barred. The physician who had been called into service pronounced the hurt as inevitably mortal. but. in spite of the death sentence. Bob survived-how fortunately. Montgomery people know.
 The negro received . medal for his pluck in rescuing Elise from death in the waters of the Alabama. the cost of the token being defrayed by the school children of Montgomery. the medal pre- scented by Mayor Teague, publicly It Is probable that this evidence of Bob's character will be placed on record in some public building of Montgomery, as there is none to claim 1t except the old mother. and she. an aEed negress, with mind impaired. realizes nothing of its value. or for the deed for which 1t stands She had even been heard to humble that $3 would be worth more to her. So 1t is more than probable that the medal will revert to the peo- ple from which 1t came, and will ho kept a memorial to the bravery of one old negro. whom the white people have honored,
