One Milk Supply.

SffS afs''tN O~FF'Js
 If present plans fail not the people of Anniston will in the near future receive their supply of milk from one source At least there will be but one firm de- iivering and selling milk in the city.
 Messrs. Silvey and Crow of Chatta- nooga are in the city making prepara- tions for the opening of a milk depot. It is understood that arrangements have been completed. The depot will be To- eated somewhere on Tenth street. The new company will purchase the output of the several dairies, and these, of course, will be maintained usual. The supply of milk will be delivered to the new con- cerns at the farms. The new firm will deliver and collect for the milk. They will maintain a cold storage, and it is thought that this plan will prove more satisfactory than any ever in vogue here before

 There were objections to the marriage because of the youth of the bride. Satur- day w. w. McGowen, a friend of the II, license and arranged for the ceremony with the minister at Ensley.
 All went merrily, marriages should, until the bridal party reached the Ter minal station in Birmingham. They were waiting to take the train for this city, when the ather of the young lady was seen about the station.

They failed to catch the train and were compelled to remain in the Magic City until the early morning train Monday.
 It developed later that their fears were unfounded. MT.

 The negro who stole the $50 from the Gadsden Bakery yesterday has been iden- tified as Jim Harding, bootblack, but so far has not been arrested. The negros stand was located near the bakery and it is thought that he was familiar with the surroundings of the place and per- haps had some knowledge as to the amount of money in the till when he robbed it. He has disappeared and the officers think he has left the city.
 c. W. Ewing, one of the largest peach growers in this part of the state, has visited his orchard at Mountainboro since the cold weather and reports the dam- age not so great as at first expected. He thinks that 50 per cent of the buds on his trees are still alive and that with favorable conditions from this time on a good crop may yet be made. In fact the killing of large percentage of the buds will make finer fruit without the expense of thinning.
 The county commissioners now in ses- sion have reduced the road tax from $S to $6. This will meet with the approval of most of the country people as the $S tax was considered burdensome. The matter of road and bridge improvement is now under consideration and it is probable that a progressive policy will be adopted. The present plan of, pushing permanent improvement with the full convict force will no doubt be adhered to and further efforts made to provide better highways if possible without a bond issue.
 The city experienced a very heavy rain- fall today. The rain came early this morning and continued steadily through most of the day At times the downpour was remarkably heavy and the total fall during the last 10 or 12 hours will probably be fully two inches.

Good Work of MT. Brown.

In no case where a law of the last legislature has been nvalidated by the courts can the blame be laid to Cyrus B. Brown clerk of the house. His books have stood the test in every instance, and his records have been up to the consti- tutional standard Reports that have been made that records in the two houses were bad are an injustice to MT. Brown. who is said to have made one of the most efficient clerks in the legislative history of the state.

pany or Francis Wilson, regarded by
many theater'goers as the prince OF
comedians OF the present day. Ger
tain IL is that Wilson's Detroit ad
mirers are legion. They filed the De
troit opera house for the opening per
formance OF The Bachelors Baby
and the 400" was well represented in
the generous outpouring. From the
remarks heard as the audience passed
out, still chuckling To itself, IL was
quite patent that nothing Wilson had
ever attempted had made quite So
strong an appeal as The Bachelor
Baby"
All OF which speaks we'll for Mr.
WILSON'S success AS a playwright as
well as an actor, for he is personally
responsible for the bright lines In
which the piece abounds and In the
program he has called II by its right
name-a farce comedy. We are told
that the story was written originally
In serious vein, and that II was re-
written In It's present form after vain
attempts to interest publishers In the
novel. Whatever may have been the
history OF THE Bachelors Baby"
there is no question Of its merit as n
vehicle for the laugh-provoking pow
ers OF Mr.. Wilson. AS a play ii has
some faults OF construction. but they
are inconsequential I'm the light OF the
results obtained and are hardly ap-
parent In the mellow glow OF delicious
humor that surrounds the piece There
Is an occasional touch OF pathos. which
merely serves to relieve the tension
and give the audience n breathing
