SELMA PUTS ON
 HOLIDAY ATTIRE Holiday Shoppers Crowd
 the Streets
ATKINS FOR CONGRESS
Citizens of Selma and Dallas Pleased with Announcement Dannel- ly Going To Mobile-Police
 Busy-City Court To Convene

Selma, December 1s.--(Special) )-chirst- mas trading opened In Selma this morning with a rush, and 1t is expected that this rush will become more pronounced until next Saturday night
 The streets of the city in the retail dis trict today were thronged with large crowds. Every train into the city brought large numbers of holiday shoppers. They crowded into the retail establishments where they spent large amounts of money.
 The postoffice and the express office have prepared for the holiday rush. At both places extra help has been put to work The postoffice registry department will be kept open all during next Sunday, so that the public can send and receive packages which contain presents
 Fer the past two weeks the holiday trading has been slower than it has been for years past. With the approach or Christmas, though, a large number of the farmers are selling their cotton i'll spite of the low market, so they can have ready money to spend during Christmas.
 Christmas will be a pleasant day for the greater number of the residents of this city. The local post of the Sa1va- ton Army is making preparations to fur nish a large number of dinners to the worthy poor.
 Citizens of Selma and Dallas county are pleased with the formal announce ment which Maj. " B. Atkins made Sat urday night for congressman from the state at large Major Atkins is well known throughout Alabama, and has a large host of friends in every county in the state, and is considered one of the strongest candidates in the race.
 There is little doubt but when the state is redistricted the new district will be made up of counties in the black belt is the opinion of those who study pol- tics. It is believed that Dallas coun- ty will be the keystone county of the new district and for that reason Major Atkins is figured as the most logical can didate in the race for Congress from the state at large. Major Atkins many friends throughout the state have been urging him for some weeks past to make the race. In this race he will receive their hearty support, and it is thought by these friends he will capture the plum.
 The Rev. E. A. Dannelly, who for the past two years has served as pastor of the Church Street Methodist church, preached his last sermon to that con gregation Sunday night. MT. Dannelly and his family will leave Selma for Mo- bile the latter part of this week.
 With the arrival of the holiday season the police department of Selma is having a busy time. A large number of arrests are being made daily and this will con tnus until after the festive season.
 The regular winter session of the city court of Selma will convene here on Monday, January ], and will be presided over by Judge J. ". Mabry. The docket of the court is a rather heavy one, and the court will remain in session for sev- eral weeks before an adjournment will be taken

It is claimed that Mays married a young woman of the vil- lage, and, after deserting her and going to Chattanooga, it came to light that he went off with red headed woman, who was married to him before he came here.
 Although the holiday trade so far nas not been up to expectations because of the low price of cotton, Huntsville mer- chants are hopeful that this week will bring their business Up 10 the average. Depression has been caused as much by the holding of cotton as by the low price. Much of the stored cotton will be sold during this week, it is believed.
