WANT MEAT INSPECTION

Gadsden, January 15.-(Special.) )-Police circles are somewhat stirred up over the finding of a human arm on one of the trash heaps of the cty's dumping ground. The find was made by some negroes who were afraid to report the matter for several days for fear of getting into trouble themselves. The arm was cut off square with a saw or other similar tool some six inches above the elbow. Surgeons who have examined it do not believe that it was amputated by man in the profession. Dr. Murphy, the coun- ty health officer, is of the opinion that the amputation was made several weeks ago. There are evidences of discharge of shot into the elbow and it may be that amputation was the result of this injury although the wounds are not such as would make this course necessary. The arm is evidently that of white man and a plain gold ring was on the little finger of the hand. Coroner Woodliff is Investigating the gruesome find, but so far has not been able to discover any clew.
 IL IS HOW uelhiloiy hho"ii ''s'e e's s"S next meeting of the city council there will be the proper ordinances introduced to provide for meat inspection and sanitary slaughter house. The council has been Investigating the matter for some time and is satisfied that such ac- tion is necessary in the interest of the public health. There will be little or no onnosifion to the measures and the city will probably enjoy these safeguards within the next few months.

SCHEDULE IS AMENDED

Anniston, January 15.-(Special.) .)-The resignation of Dr. E. W. McIlwain as president of the Alabama Presbyterian college was accepted at a meeting of the board of trustees in the office of John B. Knox Thursday afternoon, and a com mittee consisting of Dr. J. G. Anderson and W. H. Weatherly was appointed to express the regrets of the board at his taking this step.
 While pr. McIlwains resignation does not become effective until April he will be away from the city canvassing the state in the interest of the college large part of the time from now on. At the meeting Thursday afternoon Prof. w. A. White was made chairman of the faculty during his absence. A committee of four, consisting of Dr. J. W. Stagg, chairman, Birmingham Dr. H. C. Kegley, Ensley; Dr. J. c. Anderson and John B. Knox of Anniston, was appointed to nominate a new president, and while it mas been gen orally considered that MT.

His resignation, it is said, will in no wise interfere with the stability of the institution. Dr. Stagg says that 1t is in excellent financial condition and enters the new year with the bright est prospects within its history.

Twin Lambs.

An experienced breeder says that in
the case Of twins it is well to pace
them with the mother in a small, sep
arate pen for a day or two, in order
that they may become acquainted, and
to avoid the danger of one Of the lambs
straying away, which may cause trou
bic. When lambs are born weakly
more care is required, and unless the
shepherd is with them to see that they
are sucked soon after birth they are
liable to become chilled and die IF
the lamb is too weak to stand up and
suck, it should be held up and some
milk MIXED into it's mouth, when it
will soon take the teat and help itself
or the eve may be gently laid upon her
side and the lamb brought to the teat
on its knees or side, and held, as above
indicated.
